A very exciting runaway occuiredoi
Dennison street , yesterday afternoon ,
happily without injury or damage. This
custom of letting teams stand untiet
upon our streets merits punishment o
no little Severity. The practice is dan
gerotts and may result in serious injury.
On the occasion of their public in
stallation , ( St. John's Day ) last Thurs

gracefully recognized the merits anc

Stilgebouer of Danbury , by presenting
him with a handsome and elegant gold
watch.

The match base ball game which oc
curred in this city , Tuesday afternoon ,
between the Indianola boys and our lo
cal club , resulted in a score of 12 to 10
in favor of the visiting club , much to
the disappointment of those who imag
ined that McCook would have a walk
away. Had Newman done the pitching
from the out-start , the result would
doubtless have been decidedly otherwise ,
as his rapid and unexpected style ot'de-
livery discomfited the Indianola boys
not a little. The game of Tuesday af
ternoon will have the effect of bracing
our club up.
Does it not sound a little oddly in
consistent for a boodle-policy organ ,
that is so distressingly careful about
"giving the town a bad name , " to re
mark like this : "The present jail has
been of good service , but McCook is
now in need of something better for
jail quarters. Over four cannot be plac
ed in the jail at once , and VERY OFTEN
there is need for MORE ROOM ! " Rather
than see a larger jail , THE TRIBUNE
would sooner see the authorities clean
out a few of the causes that fill the city
cooler. Better strike at the fountain
source of these troubles and the need
of enlarged city prisons will no longer
exist. The people of this city expect
the law to be enforced to a reasonable
extent at any rate.
THE QUILL DRIVERS.
A few member ? of the Republican
Valley Press Association met in solcnn
conclave in this city , Tuesday , as pe
announcement. The afternoon wa ?
consumed by the press gang in the base
ball game , in makingobservations arounc
the city , in hunting up old-time friend
and acquaintance and the like. After
supper , the association held their usual
business meeting , in the Commercia
House parlors. The following officers
were then elected : President , H. M
Crane ; Vice President , T. J. Cleaver
Treasurer. C. L. Watkins : Secretary ,
R. B. Wahlquist ; Executive Committee. .
Col. T. J. Piekftt , A. J. Graham ant
F. Bert Ridley. The other business
of the association being duly dispos
ed of , the now hungry editors , editor :
are proverbial ! } ' hungry or thirsty-
adjourned to the banquet hall , where
a bountiful feast of the delicacies and
good things of the season , such as Host
Johnston of the Commercial knows only
too well how to prepare , was partaken
of , and it is superfluous to indite , was
dispatched with evident gusto. At ap
propriate periods in the feast were toasts ,
apropos of the occasion , to which re
sponses were made with varying elo
quence , forcibleness and poinledness ,
by Register G. L. Laws , Mayor I. J.
Starbuck , J. A. Cordeal , Esq. , Col. T.
J. Pickett , A. J. Graham , J. S.LeHew ,
Esq. , C. L. WatkinsThos. , Golfer , Esq. ,

persed , no doubt with the feeling that it
had been good for them to be here.

THE TRIBUNE takes pleasure , in this
connectioiijin noting the unanimous and
enthusiastic support tendered our fellow-
townsman , G. L. Laws , for the office of
Secretary of State. Such unanimity is
exceptional in this country of self-inter
est dominant and surely must be grati-
? ying to Mr. Laws , and that he will go
into the convention with the enthusias
tic support of the Valley , is assured ,
while substantial evidence is his that his
strength will by no means be restricted
to the Valley upon convention day.
NEAV LAW FIRM Messrs. J.E. Coch-
ran of our city and W. S. Morlan of
Arapahoe have formed a partnership in
the practice of law , to take effect from
July 1st. They have secured rooms
over Kendall's store , which they will
occupy for the present , until their
quarters in the new brick which Repre
sentative Hocknell contemplates buiid-
ng this summer on the lot now occu-
jied by the Frees & Hocknell Lumber
Co.'s office , are completed. The gentle-
nen composing this firm are too well
cnown in this part of the Valley , and
n this land district , t require any in
troduction at our hands. Both our
ligh-minded gentlemen of recognized
nerit and standing in the profession.
.n ' due time , Mr. Morlan will remove
lis family to our city and dwell amongst
us. The land firm of Cochran & Helm
s wot effected by this new arrangement ,
) ut will be continued at the old stand.
The Ilayden stock was taken posses-
ion of , this morning , by A. Yeazle of
he Exchange National of Hastings , he
laving bought the other mortgagees' in-
erest. We understand that Mr. Yeazle
vill sell the entire stock in a lump.
Vlso , that the Messrs. Harper of Paxton ,
.11. , old and experienced men in the
merchandise business , are figuring on
mrehasing the stock. We hope the ru
mor may prove true , as these gentlemen
vill make a strong addition to the busi
ness men of our city.
Plans and specifications are now be-
ng prepared for the brick which Rep-
esentative Hocknell contemplates hav-
ng built at once. It will occupy the
) lace of the Frees & Hocknell Lumber
Co.'s present office , will be 25x75 as to
imensions , two-stories high , and an
legant and substantial structure
hroughout. The lower floor will be oc-
upied by the Frees & Hocknell Lum-
> er Co. . a portion of the second floor by
Messrs. Morlan & Cochran's law offices.

A BAD FALL.
o
One day last week , while George , the
nine-year-old son of A.W.Ncwland , was
about the well , and in some unaccount
able manner he fell into it. Mr. Ncw-
land was not far distant and saw him
disappear , but the shock so unnerved
him that it was nearly a minute before
he dared approach the well , and when
he did , it was with a feeling that his
son must surely be dead , as the well is
seventy feet deep. It was therefore a
glad surprise to hear his son call out :
cPa , let down the rope ! " Hallooing
back the father asked him if he was
hurt , the boy answering , not very much.
The rope was quickly lowered and the
boy stepping into the bucket was brought
to the surface. On examination a slight
cut was found on the back of his head ,
but this did not hurt very much and in
an hour he was playing about as usual.
