H H W FIFTEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , JULY 3 , 1896. NUMBER 7 RECOVERY IS DOUBTFUL Two Brothers Quarrel and a Probable \ Murder is Committed. * * CHARLES SHOOTS FRANK MOORE ' * • And a Death May Result Both the Parties Were Former Citizens ofMcCook Intense Ex- I - J cltement Prevails. i ' A sad and terrible tragedy was enacted \ on last Sunday , about nine miles north of Haigler. Dundy county. Frank and Charles Moore , brothers , were the prin- fj cipals in the deplorable affair. The bro- I there had a quarrel over some matter , i and as a result of the same Frank now ' lies in a very precarious condition , shot [ through the right lung by his brother I Charles. f Dr. Z. L. Kav was summoned to the I " bedside of the injured man , Monday , and reports his recovery as doubtful. The sad affair has caused intense ex citement in that section of Duudy coun- i I ty. The deed is regretted by all. The I Moores will be remembered by early r settlers of McCook as having kept a restaurant - taurant in this city , in the early days. I The exact nature of the quarrel we are I unable to report , but the intensest feeling - ing has been engendered in the families , I and the wife of the injured brother vows summary vengeance on the author of her distress and sorrow. I ' Charles Moore is a brother-in-law of I W. O. Russell of our citj\ having niar- I ried a Miss McCorkle. He is out on [ $300 bail , and it is stated , is helping I nnrse the injured man. I . , f A Small Washout. [ Monday evening's rain caused a small I washout , both approaches of a piling I bridge about five miles east of Bartley , de- I laying all trains many hours. Nos. sand I 3 reached here between seven and eight , \ \ the following morning. Nos. 4 and 2 I were consolidated at Hastings. Otherwise - | wise traffic went on as usual , and the f Burlington escaped with small damage. 2 A Great Rustler. L „ , J. A. Resh , manager of the Stewart t ranch , marketed some fine hogs in the [ ' city , Monday. Mr. Resh is a great rustier - tier , and has made things move success- w fully on the Stewart ranch , even through B. the late failure years. His crops , this H season , are in supurb shape , and the H prospect for a corn crop is splendid. H- County Endeavor Society Picnic. BjL The societies of Christian Endeavor of HI Red Willow county will hold a picnic at H * Red Willow in the Miller grove on Sat- H ; urday , July 11. A good time will be had. Bt Prof. J. F.

Brewer BJ thinks they were the finest bunch of my hogs ever shipped out of this station. B But the market was poor. The same B day , last year , the shipment would have ; B | n ° tted over $300 more money. Bi • A Victim of Appendicitis. \ We are sorry to learn of the severe ill- B' ness of Eli Crockford , junior , of the Wil- B > low , with an attack ot appendicitis.

B * la the recent readjustment of the sall Bvf aries of postmasters , the McCook post- : B ; office was reduced from $1,600 , $1,500 per Bk annum. m , I FELL DOWN A WELL 1 6O Feet Deep , but Apparently Not Injured in the Least. One day last week , a hog on William Divine's j farm up in Coleman precinct , rooted off part of the covering to the well on the place , and then took a tumble to the t bottom , 160 feet. Mr. Divine went down after his hogship , which was suc cessfully raised to the surface in an apj parentty uninjured condition , running away when released at the top , as though it had only fallen as mauj' inches. This incident recalled to H. T.Church's mind the fact that quite a number of years ago he helped rescue a Texas steer j from a well 60 feet deep. The animal had backed into the well. It was with great difficulty pulled to within a few feet of the top , with rope and windlass , when the steer made a terrific lunge out of the well , and took a two-minute gait over the prairie , much to the astonishment - ment of the rescuers , who saw him never- more. Both circumstances are without the ordinary in circumstances. The Joy of Youth. 1 The youthful members of the Junior Endeavor societ3' of the Congregational church enjoyed a delightful picnicWed- nesday , on the lawn and among the trees at W. S. Perry's residence. Everything was prepared and done for the entertainment - ment of the young folks , who had a joyous - ous and merry time after the happy and simple manner of innocence and youth , aided and abetted by the good offices of the older ones. = s I g { j THE PEOPLE.

" A VERY SEVERE STORM A Heavy Bain Storm , Monday Night. in This Section. THE HAIL DOES SOME DAMAGE In j the Eastern Part of the County and on the Beaver , but Is More Destructive About Cambridge. A heavy rain prevailed in this section of Nebraska , Monday afternoon and eve ning , -the heavy precipitation being in some localities accompanied by severe hail and lightning , both doing some dam age. The hail did not reach any farther west than Bartley , but was quite severe between that place and Arapahoe , being heaviest about Cambridge , where the rainfall amounted to a small cloudburst , the rainfall being stated at from four to eight inches in a brief while. There was a small washout at a bridge about five miles east of Bartley , both approaches were washed away by the water which covered and softened the roadbed for a considerable distance in that neighbor hood. The rainfall at Bartley was over three inches. The lightning did some damage at Bartley and Danbury and we understand that a man by the name of Campbell was drowned in attempting to cross a swollen canyon near Lebanon. At McCook the storm came latter in the evening , amounting to a splendid rain of 1.65 inches , without any damaging ri ing : hail , wind or flood , and iti'ill do the crops of all kinds great good. In the hail districts , however , the damage will for the most part be repairN ed by time They Entertain Their Husbands. The ladies of the Priscilla club entertained - tained their husbands on Wednesday afternoon on the cool and shady lawn at G. A. Noren's residence in a charming and felicitous manner. Appetizing refreshments - freshments were spread on the lawn ina most attractive and tasteful style and in fetching profusion. The affair was all the taste , cleverness and energy of the ladies composing the club would lead 3'ou to expect. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Cole , Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Burnett , Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kenyon , Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Sutton , Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Campbell , Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Noren , Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kendlen , Dr. and Mrs. Z. L. Kay , Mrs. Will L. Yetter of Hastings , Miss Selma Noren , Miss Ona Simons. Miss Ona Simons and Miss Selma Noren presided over the fruit punch bowl , over which the affair concluded. To Subscribers of The Tribune.Q Readers of The Tribune will please remember that cash is an essential in . the publication of a paper.

We are now com pelled to request-all who can to call and make settlement in full or in part. In view of the facts , our subscribers must feel the justice and urgency of this re- quest. The Publisher. Sick With Typhoid Fever. Dr. Z. L. Kay received word yesterday - day , that his son Elmer , now located in Joplin Mo. , is sick with an attack of typhoid fever. Mrs. * Kay left , this morning , for his bedside , and all hope she may be able to nurse him success fully through his illness and back to his accustomed vigorous and robust health.

The storm belated many in attendance upon district school meetings over the county. And in one instance , those at a meeting remained at the school house until morning , being afraid to risk the swollen canyons in the dark. No Session Held. < The approaching storm , last Monday j evening , kept so many from lodge that it was thought advisable not to hold a meeting of McCook lodge No. 1 , Star of Jupiter. Stock Killed by Hail. ( It is stated on good authority that stock , young and old , horses and cattle , . were kilied by the hail in the vicinity of ' Hendley.
