NINETEENTH YEAR. McCOOK , RED WILLOW COUNTY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY EVENING , MAY 18 , 19OO NUMBER 1
A Philanthropic People.
That the people of McCook carry warm
hearts where they do the most good has
again been demonstrated in the very
gratifying results of the Field-day , Tues
day of this week , for the benefit of the
India famine sufferers. All the plans
and arrangements made worked out
most satisfactorily , the net results from
all sources netting $305 05 , a gilt perhaps
uncqualed by any other Nebraska city of
like population. The plans and perform
ance were strictly characteristic of Mc
Cook there is no better "leather" in
the state. It is a pleasure to note that
the business men of the city generally
observed the half-holiday requested by
the committee on arrangements and
closed their respective places of business
from one till five o'clock , during the
time the sports were pulled off at the
Athletic club park.
The chief attraction at the park was
the game of base ball between the Cedar
Bluffs aggregation and the McCook Ath
letic club team. While the score was
too high and the result too uneven for a
good game , the contest was spirited and
not lacking in interest. There was a
large attendance and a net sum of $64 65
was added to the relief fund from that
source. The other sports were running
races , bicycle races etc. , but they were
without considerable interest.
The supper served by the ladies of the
different churches of the city in the
basement of the Temple block only
lacked one cent of realizing the net sum
secured from the sports , $64.64. The
ladies served an excellent meal and were
liberally patronized.
In the evening , the young ladies of
the Awl-Os club held an ice cream and
strawberry social in the opera house , a
feature that was generously supported ,
and that was one of the pleasantest af
fairs of the entire occasion. A drill by
a company of little girls was one of the
entertaining features of the evening.
The social netted the fund $33.21.
The collection raised by the children
I of the city schools amounted to $28.05 , a
very generous gift from the children of
the cit } * .
The offering of the Ladies' Aid society
of the Zion Hill Baptist church was
$ S 50 , a very kindly remembrance from
the ladies of that church up in Coleman
precinct.
To this sum add the amount secured
from individual sources , $106 , and the
grand total is $305.05.
THE TRIBUNE does not feel like clos
ing this account of the Field-day before
felicitating and congratulating everybody
connected with the affair. The result is j
a high credit to our city.
Municipal Matters.
The city fathers held a session , Mon
day night , and disposed of a number of
items of municipal business.
A license to conduct a saloon in the
old Palace hotel building was granted to
Frank K Miller.
A petition for a sidewalk along the
east side of McDowell street from Rail
road street on the south to Denver
street on the north was granted , and the
sidewalk prayed for was by resolution in
due form ordered laid. This will pro
vide a sidewalk to the German Congre
gational church and to quite a number
of dwellings over on McDowell street
nowAvithout that necessary convenience
in wet and muddy weather.
The matter of using red sandstone for
street crossings , especially in the busi
ness portions of the city , was discussed ,
and the same was practically adopted for
the future , although no definite action
was taken of record. This will be gen
erally approved by the tax-payers of the
city.Bills
Bills as follows were allowed and war
rants ordered issued on the proper funds :

Mrs. W. N. Cratty Injured.
Mrs. W. N. Cratty of Driftwood pre
cinct was severely injured , late Wednes
day night , in a runaway accident , a
short distance west of the city. It ap
pears that Mr. and Mrs. Cratty and Miss
Mattie Shears were in the city , that
night , attending Christian church ser
vices , the parents being principals in an
immersion service at that church. The
hired man was along to drive the team.
A short distance west of the city , the
team became frightened at the approach
and passing of passenger train No. 6 , and
ran away. The driver jumped or was
thrown out and lost possession of the
lines , leaving the other occupants of the
vehicle helpless. Mrs. Cratty and Miss
Shears jumped out , but Mr. Cratty re
mained in the vehicle , being still some
what lame from an accident on the rail
road quite a while since. Mrs. Cratty
sustained a severe fracture of her right
legabout three inches above the ankle
the bones protruding through the
fleshs Shears with
-s escaped pain
fully sprained knee. The team ran
homeward to near the west river bridge ,
where Mr. Cratty finally secured posses
sion of the lines and stopped the runa-
r-nys. Driving back to the scene of the
&CL dent , the women were taken into the
vehicle and brought to the residence of
G. C. Boatman in the city and medical
assistance summoned. Mrs. Cratty's in
juries are very severe , but not serious.
A Fatal Accident.
John Real , one of the most highly
esteemed and leading farmers of Perry
precinct , was accidentally killed on his
farm , Wednesday afternoon. No one
witnessed the sad affair , and consequent
ly details are lacking. However , it is
known that Mr. Real started out from
home , early in the afternoon , to do some
fence repairing , and about five o'clock
ivas found dead , his neck being broken.
Mr. Real started from the house with
a team of horses attached to the running
gears of a wagon on which were laid a :
few boards. When found one of the :
wheels was off of the wagon , and there :
tvere evidences of a runaway. It is
thought he had been dead two or three
liours when found.
The remains were shipped to Grafton ,
this morning , for burial at his former
iome , the remains being accompanied
ay the members of the family at this
place. Other members of the family
from away will also be present at the
jbsequies. "
The deceased stood high among a
arge circle of friends and acquaintances ,
ill of whom will join with THE TRIBUNE
n expressions of deepest sympathy in
.his tragic sorrow and bereavement.

It Was a Great Hit.
"The Old Maids' Convention" as pre
seated by the ladies mid friends of St
Alban'a guild , Monday evening , in the
opera house , was a great hit and a uios
gratifying financial success about fifty
dollars being cleared. The "convention'
was played to a good-sized and very ap
precialive audience.
As promised , there was no deep plo
to concern the auditor , but there wa
plenty from the opening to the close to
hold attention and appeal to the sense
of the humorous ; for "Solomon in al
his glory was not arrayed like one o
these" old maids , nor were his numerous
"best girls" half as kittenish.
Mrs. W. R. Starr was chairwoman o
the "Young Ladies' Debating Society'
and Miss Bertha Childe , secretary ; their
work was effective. There were severa
"star" delegates , notably among them
being Mrs. James Hatfield , Mrs. W. W.
Archibald , Mrs. F. A. Pennell , Mrs. W.
B. Mills , Mrs. Howard Stoy , Miss Maude
Burgess and Miss Maggie Cullen , all of
whom appeared advantageously in
speech , essay , song or musical efforts.
Prof. Schobel's "remodeloscope" was
one of the fetching features or special
ties , his marvelous machine transform
ing "old maids" of doubtful vintage into
fairies , vocalists etc. with "neatness and
dispatch ; " these metamorphoses in turn
giving musical variety to the perform
ance. There were vocal solos by Miss
Blanche McCarl , Miss Nina Doan , Little
Elsie Campbell and F. H. Strout.
The stage decorations were appropri
ately hearts and cupids , and the voting
sign of the order "m-a-n , man. "
