Complaint ban boon made at this
oflico that parties are too carole s
in shooting firearms in the city
limits. Several instances were
cited'wherein pnrties have had nar
row escapes Irom being hit with
stray bullets. There was an ordi-
uanco adopted several years ago
against shooting in the city limits ,
and if the guilty ones are appro-
icudod they will discover that that
ordinance is still in force.
Among those who were in at-
ondauco at the state convention at
Lincoln this week from Custer Co.
were Mayor Royso. Chas. Peun ,
John Reese , Simon Cameron , fl. H.

a few months ago on the charge of
'orgory , by the sheriff ot Sootts
31uff county and taken to Goring ,
le made the remark that ho would
'bo back in a short time , " but near-
y everyone thought that this time

itentiary. In the district court
tiold at Goring last week his case
was called and on motion of do.
fendent was dismissed , there being
a flaw of some kind in the informa
tion. Ed hasn't yet shown up in

A tire at the hour of two o'clock
last Saturday morning destroyed
the barn at the rear of the property
occupied by Prof. Adamson , and
damaged the barna of Glen Johnson
and.Dr. Mullins. Only the prompt
work of the tire company saved
these structures , and probably sev
eral residences in the vicinity from
burning. The origin of the lire IP
wrapped m mystery ; it was raining
at the time , and had been for sev
eral days. Some thought at the
time that burglars had started the
Gie so as to operate unmolested in
another part of town , but if BO they
failed to operate. Doubtless a
tramp or two had sought refuge
from the rain , and in lighting a
pipe or something of the sort aoci.
dently set the fire. Prof. Adam *
son lost a uraall amount of telephone
material that ho had stored in the
building.
