Published Tuesday and Friday. Scottsbluff has a strike of barbers to occupy the public mind this week. The boss barbers are to blani". If newspaper reports are correct. They hiked the price of shaves from 25 to 35 cents, and not content with that, proceeded to reduce the percentage for the Journeymen.
