THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE.
Vol. IV ' ' FALLS CITY , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , APRIL i9 , 1907. Whole No. 169
"
People you Know.
George F. Hinton was hero the
\ latter part of the past week on a
I visit to his brother , John Hinton ,
f for many years a resident of this
i city. This is only about the
| third time that John has seen his
I brother in forty years. At the
age of live years Mr. Hinton sent
his brother George from New
York to a sister living in Cali
fornia , where he resided until a
young man , when he went to
Wyoming gaining great influence
there in the business world.
The other brother , Will Hinton -
L ton , of Omaha , has charge of a
gang of workmen on the C. B. &
Q. working now at Kulo , and last
Friday he came up from that
place and the three brothers took
dinner together , this being their
first reunion for many , many
years.
The following clipping taken
from the March 2Sth issue of the
Tribune , Cheyenne , Wyoming ,
has this to say of Mr. Hinton :
Hon. George F. Hinton , Law
maker , Business man and Miner.
Every member of the House of
the Ninth Legislature will recog
nize Gco. F. Hinton , for they all
remember him as sitting on the
safety valve of the session. Al
though it was his first term as a
member of the legislature he
early showed himself to be a man
of unusual discernment , judgment
and carefulness , applying the
same tests to legislation as he
would to a business proposition.
Being an experienced miner , he
knows enough not to approve a
thing because it "looks good" but
with impersonal scrutinj'could be
seen treating every bill as though
it were a bit of shiny ore * not to
be passed upon until it stood the
application of the acid of common
sense.
Although born in Pennsylvania
Mr. Hinton came to Wyoming
from California where his parents
moved -when he was an infant.
In 1SSI the young man struck out
for himself and came to Wyom
ing settling at Encampment
where he has since resided. He
has extensive mining interests
there and while he has taken
little interest in politics , his nom
ination for the-legislaturc was an
expression of the high regard in
which he is held by his asso
ciates , r
Mr. Ilinton is a prominent
Mason and has lectured before a
number of lodges throughout the
state.
Mr. and Mrs. Ilinton remained
in Cheyenne some time after the
close of the legislature and have
made many friends in the capitol
city , both in business and social
circles.
Modern Methods.
We are just in receipt of a pro
spectus of the Nebraska Business
University , the new business
training school secured for Ne
braska City by the Commercial
Club of that city. It differs
materially from an } " business col
lege literature which we have
previously read and contains the
most positive proof of superiority
ever offfired by a school. Pres.
Toland floes not believe in brag
ging , he sitqply states facts , and
the facts are so convincing that
he will undoubdtedly open his
school with a full attendance , as
nearly one hundred students are
already secured. Those interest
ed should secure a copy and learn
what constitutes a modern busi
ness school. It will be sent free
by addressing Nebraska Business
, University , Nebraska City , Nebr.
R. Reasoner was among the
} * -j Shubert visitors in this city Friday -
day last.
Cecil , Ruth and Agnes Kanaly
of Rule spent Saturday with
friends in this city.
Tbe Man. , From Missouri.
Through the courtesy of the
Nebraska City News we are the
recipient of the latest advertising'
literature of the Nebraska Busi
ness University. President To-1
land is not only a liberal adver
tiser , but he is also past master
of the art of preparing convinc-
ing advertisements. The Man'
from Missouri is the clearest case
of "Show me" ever offered b.V a
school. It is good reading from
"kiver to kiver" and like all ad
vertising issued by the Toland
schools is free from the bragging
unreasonable claimf and promises
for which most business college
literature is noted. It will pay
any one to send for'-it and can be
secured free of cost from the Ne
braska Business University , ' Ne
braska City , Nebr.
The Falls City Fishing Club.
A permanent organization con
sisting of citizens and business
men of Falls City was formed
last Saturday evening for the
purpose of en fore ing the State
Game and Fish laws , and to vig
orously prosecute any and all
persons for illegal lishfng in this
county. The club will be known
as The Falls City Fishing club
with the following officers which
were elected : F. A. Keller , pres
ident ; F. E. Farington , secretary ;
L. P. Wirth , treasurer : executive
committee to be the president ,
secretary , Aaron Loucks , Gus
Neitzel and Ward Knight.
The club when complete will
consist of about 100 members , and
vigorous steps will be taken to
clear the Nemaha river to its
mouth of violators of the fishing
laws , and any person engaged in
this unlawful business w h o
wishes to escape the full benefit
of the law will do well to stop at
once.
David Berry received his com
mission from Deputy Game War
den Hungar , who came down
from Lincoln to be present at the
meeting , making two local game
wardens for this county , who
will receive the support of the
club.
club.The
The state game warden in com
pany with the local game warden ,
Mr. David BeYry , and a club rep
resentative made their first trip
down the Nemaha river on Mon
day to destroy seines , nets , traps ,
etc. , and to arrest violators of
the laws.
There is no question but what
if the laws wore enforced that
there would be excellent fishing
along the entire Nemaha river
and its branches , and everyone
who enjoys good fishing is earn
estly requested to join the club
and to assist in the work.
Everybody enjoys to go fishing ,
so let everyone help in this mat
ter , and any person knowing of
anyone having seines , nets , fish
traps , trout lines over five hooks ,
using dynamite , selling fish , or
violating the laws in any manner
should turn in the names of the.
offenders to any officer of the
club , and immediate action will
be taken.
LATISK As a result of the first
trip down the Nemaha river the
game warden found and destroyed
twenty-six traps , \\hich was very
gratifying to the club.
A High Time.
W. S. Frost , the manager of
the premium stamp business in
this city , evidently forgot the
nature of his business the past
week and imbibed too ireely of
moist goods , whereupon his conduct -
duct subsequently being- such
that Manager Spence was forced
to eject him from his temporary
quarters at the National. The
company is an excellent one and
we are sorry that their repre
sentative so far forgot his business -
ness as to indulge in such con
duct.
Small Wreck.
There was a small wreck on
the C. B. it. Q. near Dawson
' Saturday evening. Passenger I
number Ht was lati and trying to
1 make up timeA west bound
freight was taking the siding in
order to allow the passenger to
j pass as it docs not stop at that
'station. ' The freight was not
I I quick enough in getting on the
track as the other train crashed
nto the caboose splintering it.
No other damage was sustained
by either train.

Oliver Revival.
East Liverpool , Ohio , is ex
periencing a wonderful relig
ious awakening under the lead
ership of F. E. Oliver. Nearly
four hundred converts resulted
from the meetings last Sunday.
Falls City will have this great
nan here in a similar campaign
beginning May 12th. Get ready
for it. It will be a great day
for the county seat of Richardson -
son county. Thousands of people
ple from the surrounding coun
try and towns are expected to
attend these meetings. Now
advertise Falls City.
Lost a. Mule.
In some matters G.V. . Stumbo
of thi ! city has been unfortu
nate tor some time. Last June
lie was among those who went
to Wyoming and hardly returned
in time to spend Christmas at
liis home. Immediately upon
his return Mr. Stumbo purchased
a span of large jet-black mules ,
their age being limited at thirty-
five years. Last Friday night
one mule quietly passed away
of old age. Mr. Stumbo con-
jratulates himself on the fact
that the loss was not exceedingly -
ingly great as he has been suc
cessful in securing a contract of
having the hide tanned for half.
Team And Wagon Stolen.
A. team of horses and a lumber
wagon belonging to Ross Goolsby
were stolen by , as yet , unknown
parties , on Sunday evening who
did the same so successfully that
no trace of them can be found.
The team was a good one and
the wagon was almost new.
The thieves were evidently well
acquainted with the premises as
they even broke the lock off of
the wood shed where the cndgate
to the wagon was kept ; they be
lieved in taking everything.
Tuesday afternoon it was thought
that a trace of t'he thieves had
been found between Padonia and
Hiawatha but it proved to be a
false trail.
Quite an Honor.
At the meeting of the adjourned
session of the state legislature at
Lincoln this spring , John L.
Cleaver , of this city , who was
the book-keeper for the senate ,
was bestowed with quite an honor
in the adopting of the following
of which he has a copy.
Mr. Epperson offered the fol
lowing motion : I move that the
thanks of the senate be tendered
to John L. Cleaver , for the able
and efficient manner that he has
kept the books and records in his
charge during the session.

ing and will probably be on
trial until sometime next week.
Ilarbaugh and Snow who furn-
shed the sensation at the last
trial have been on the stand
igain and told their story of
'alse witnesses and attempted
.icrjury. An effort was made to
prevent this testimony in as
much as the Supreme court had
paid no attention to it , but
Judge Raper let it in as ho de
sired to hear the whole of the
-ase. Mr. Ilarbaugh on cross
examination said that ho was
in charge of the Miles ranch of
some live or six thousand acres

that when he took charge he
had neyer fanned and knew the

among the finest speakers in the

A Royal Slave.
A Royal Slave at the Gehling
Wednesday evening was undoubt
edly the best attraction at that
theatre this season. The play in
itself is an excellent one while
the company was about the best
that can b'c secured. The Indian
liero of the play is a ver } ' strong

perfection. The specialties were

ing that we will have another
of the same order in the near
