GOT GUTHRIE MIXED UP
Fremont Tribune Gives Alliance Man
Two Titles He Had Never
Used Before
John W. Guthrie of Alliance has
been called by a number of titles,
but a couple of new ones were
sprung ou him the other day when
he received a clipping out of the
Fremont Tribune of December 26
from Harry Houser, chief of the
Fremont Are department.
The piece in the Tribune read as
follows:
Nebraska firemen are up in arms
and some towns in the uirthw,ern
part of the state are ta&1iK serious
ly of boycotting the Columbus con
von kin in January brcaose of a
charge that tbe hotels at Columbus
ere playing a "holdup game".
It la claimed that Columbus has
taken the trouble to request that
trackage room for thi usual fire
men's special cars be refutd by the
railroad companies, which means,
of course, that the delegate will
not have their private berths to

sleep in, but must go to the lodging
houscA for rooms. It Is claimed by
firemen that no town in the state
la big enough to accommodate the
convention In a satisfactory manner
without the assistance of these "pri
vate" cars and that therefore tthe
attitude of Columbus imsuiwn a
rll!;ulcus aspect.
The Fremont doarttnnt is in
formed of prospective actloa of some
kind by a letter from Judge John W.
tluthrie, former mayor of Alliance
and a fire leader In the north woat,
who writes:
"Wo endeavored to get a oar for
our delegation and were Informed
that Columbus people had protested
against trackage room being allowed
us. I have Jut written Bert Galley
asking what they mean by such con
duct. I am assuring him that if Co
lumbus persists In auch an attitude,
that Alliance, Scottsbluff, Mitchell,
Crawford, Chadmn and other towns
In this part of the state will not be
represented at the Columbus convention."
BOOZE DOWNS "SUNNY JIM"
Again "Vails Victim to His Appetite
for Liquor and Gets into .
Trouble Once More
The genial James Donovan, known
about town as "Sunny Jim", lias
again fallen the victim of his well
known failing, that of taking on too
much booze. After tarrying at the
cup that intoxicates as well as
cheers, he went to the Crystal thea
tre where he proceeded to put on a
number that was not down on the
program. Harry A. DuHuque, the
proprietor, doesn't stand for that
kind ot performance, accordingly
had him arrested on the complaint
of being drunk and disorderly. The
judge assessed him fifty dollars,
which he refused to pay, In default
of which he wae committed to JaU
for twenty-eight days.
The Herald regrets exceedingly
to see "Sunny Jim" getting Into
so much trouble on account of the
drink habit, and hopes that while
spending New Year's day Ln the
basllle ho will take time to turn
over a new leaf for the coming
year.

ance firemen that the Union l'aolf-
raiiroad is rcsrotudble for the re
fusal to permit Pullman cans to be
parked at Columbus during the an
nual convention In January. They
say that If the Alliance car would
be sent around to Columbus via Sid
ney instead of Grand Island, so the
Union Pacific would get the long
haul instead of the Burlvngton,
here would be no trouble 1a
polling the cars parked.
Th Union Pacific blamos. the.
'ullman company for the trouble.
The following article from the
Omsi.hu World-Herald of December
JJNth gives ithHr reasons:
Inl speaking of tho "row"alleged
to have been started by members of
he Steute Fireman's aasociaiton,
whih holde Hs nnnual convention at
Columbus In January, because pull-
nwin cars will not be allowed to be
parked at that city during the s
iti, to be used for hotel purposes,
Union Pacific officiate aiy that the
blame lie not with the busings
men of Columbus.
A dispatch from Fremont says
that there ia a threatened boycott
of the invention because the busl
ness men of Columbus have "request
ed the Union Iacdfic to refund to
grant track facilities for the parking
of the cars."
The Union PadCic passenger off!
lals say that the IMllmiani company
objects to uslmig cars for hotel pur-
"powns, cpo4ally on auoh a short
haul, and that this1 wHI not be done
out of deference to the Pullman
comiwiny. They add that tbe track
age at Columbus is not adapted for
parking anyway. I 1 further as
serted that the citizens of Col ambus
hiad absolutely nothimig to do wtlih
tne decision in lite nwtfter.
These passenger officials also say
hat Pullman cars when parked are
very unsanitary aa an abode for a

CHEYENNE WATER
Secretary Lane Recommends With-
Drawal of Large Area of Pub
lic Land in Wyoming
WASHINGTON. Dec-. 27. Secre
tary Lane of the Interior Depart
ment has just recommended to tne
President the withdrawal of a large
area of public land lying in the
drainage basin of Crow Creek, Wy,
and within which are located the
reservoirs that sirpply the city of
Cheyenne, Wyo.. and Fort D. A. Rus
sell with water for household use
and general municipal purposes.
Those mowt affected by this with
drawal are the garrison of Fort D.
A. Russell and the citizens of Chey
enne. The result of the withdrawal
will be complete protection for the
water supply from contamination or
pollution of any kind, as the water
shed in question lies at a high ele

little, if any, agricultural vatue.

Police Magistrate Gregory Zurn Is
a fresh air fiend. You can go Into
the police station any morning when
the thermometer has shriveled down
to zero, and there you will find the
aforesaid Gregory in his shirt
fileeves, with windows on both sides
of him oi-n, wUh a sni.le on bis
face and the words on his lips,
'Veil, klnda warrum thJs morning."
Gregory wa he first white man
marriiud Ln Box Butte county and
lived on the plains when Alliance
was the site of a prairie dog town
and when he had prairie hay for a
mattress and the blue sky for cov
ers, when buffalo meat was some
thing to tire of, and he carried his
rlfie to fight with Indiana; when
he duck and wild game were so
plentiful in tbe hills that they ob
scured the sun ln their flight, when
dried buffalo meat mixed with ber
ries was his chief article of food;
when the person who told him that
there would be a town the size of
Alliance here and that he would be
the police Judge, would have been
anghed at. Yet at the same time.
with all these facts ia mind, we
don't see why Gregoryr should leave
his windows open and laugh at us
shivering In the cold. No, we don't.
F. W. Lester returned recently
from Oklahoma City where he has
been conducting some very success
ful horse sales. "Oklahoma City Is
noted for two thing," said Mr. Les-
er, "Its plentiful supply of chickens
and its scarcity of apples. Apples
may not be any more scarce there
ban here, but they are often traded
for chickens. You can buy six apples
for a nickel and you can trade an
apple for a piece of chicken at any
restaurant. All they fed me on down
there was chicken giblets. I cer
tainly had plenty of that fowl while
there." Whether Mr. Lester was
Joking or not, we don't know, for
we've never seen chicken quite as
cheap as that, although it is cheap
er here than other kinds of meat

balance of $10,000,000 which will
have to be subscribed and paid in be
fore construction starts.
The sum of $5,000,000 has already
been raised, in Nebraska the high

tion of the promoiors of the project

undoubtedly be on it.
