Followed The Water
Certain persons at North Platte have
beou stealing and butchering cattle and
the authorities finally got onto tl o gang
and corraled them in house in that
neighborhood One of the three men
escaped and made his way on horseback
south to Hayes Center Culbertson and
thence headed for Kansas Monday
morning a few miles south of Culbert
son the sheriff of Hayes county arrest
ed tho fleeing thief and brought him
back to Culbertson from which point
ho telegraphed the sheriff at North
Platte to come to Hayes Center after his
prisoner Tho Hayes county sheriff
arrived at his home Monday evening
Ho allowed the prisioner to take off his
coat and hat and wash The prisioner
went to tho door to throw out the dirty
water and forgot to come back To our
knowledge he has not yet been found
The sheriff of Lincoln county was in Mc
Cook Tuesday night on his way home
without the prisioner of course
To Increase Facilities
In order to increase facilities and avoid
delays as far as possible tho telegraph
office at this place is to be overhauled
and the old fixtures roplaced by larger
ones Wire No 3 will be quadruplexed
through to Denver thus doubling the
capacity of the local office which now has
but one quad By this quadrupling
operation different operators can send or
receive dispatches at the same time over
the same wire A new wire will be con
nected up through to Denver at Brush
A number of new operating tables will
be put in and the service improved
greatly from every material aspect As
perhaps 300 messages are received and
sent at this office every day the impor
tance of these improvements will be ap
preciated
Receipts Will Not Warrant Uptown Office
Manager Heber of the Western Union
says he would be only too delighted to
give the people of McCook an uptown
office if the receipts of tho office in this
city warranted any such expenditure
He states however that they are entirely
too low to admit of such an expense
being on an average only a little above
100 per month when to secure an up
town office perhaps the receipts would
have to reach two or three times that
sum While the increased convenience
and privacy and the better service of an
uptown office would doubtless increase
the receipts in a measure it is highly
improbable that they will in many years
reach the point named by the local man
ager
Entertained The Old Soldiers
The members of the Ladies Circle en
tertained the old soldiers over the Model
shoe store last Friday aftornoon A big
feast was spread and the occasion was
greatly enjoyed There was to have been
a joint installation of the officers of the
post and circle but this had to be post
poned until next Thursday on account
of the post failing to receive its necessary
dispensation for that event
Joint Installation
Thursday afternoon January 19th
1905 at two oclock there will be a joint
installation of the officers elect of James

Sure Enough Winter
Nebraska has been enduring a vigor
ous touch of real winter this week The
particulars embrace several inches of
snow and a temperature as low as 16
degrees below zero Thursday morning at
this point There was the usual absence
of the wind that always characterizes
below zero weather in Nebraska The
ice dealers plumbers and coal merchants
vied with each other in the expansive
ness of their smiles with the livery men
and others favored with the luxurious
sleigh or cutter as close second bests
The snowfall was of great value to the
small grain crop which is now in prime
condition
Colder Friday Morning
Tim thermometer reached the lowest
mark of the winter this morning 20 de
grees below zero Pupils in the city
hall building were dismissed on account
of inabiiitv to make the room warm

The most practical article on the sub
ject of farm drainage wo have over read
was published in this weeks Homestead
It is entitled Location of Tile Drains
and is from the pen of ProfWII Steven
son soil specialist of the Iowa Agricul
tural College Professor Stovenson points
out the errors that men fall into draining
their land and gives directions for the
location of drains so that water is re
moved with the least po sible outlay -for
labor and for tile Special attention is
given to adequate outlets and to the lo
cation of drains in draws and sloughs
The Homestead which prints a number
of such special articles by experts in
each of its issues is making itself indi
spensible to the up to date farmer We
are glad to see its circulation increasing
in Red Willow county for it is tho best
and most practical farm paper in tho
United States especially for farmers in
the corn belt Wo are glad to help along
the cause of good farming by receiving
Homestead subscriptions at this office
