Suicide or mu rder !
Coroner Lewis received word last
evening-that D. M. Underwood , pro
prietor of the Cody hotel , had com
mitted suicide , and in company with
Sheriff Strong went to investigate
the matter. In conversation with the
sheriff this morning we learn the fol-1
lowing facts :
About 6:30 : last evening Underwood j
complained of feeling sick at stomach - '
ach and went out of doors. A minute
or two afterward a shot was heard ,
and those present rushed out to dis
cover the cause and fonnd Underwood
lying at the east end of the porch , a
bullet wound through his head and a
revolver with one empty chamber at
his side. The unconscious man was
carried into the house and died about
twenty minutes later with his wife
and family at his side.
The revolver was not positively
identified , the bullet entered the left
temple and left at the right , and the
the jury rendered a verdict which is
noncommittal , but the general belief
is that Underwood killed himself.
Troops For Fort Niobrara ,
A dispatch in this morcing's papers
says :
Three troops of the First cavalry
and headquarters have been ordered
to Fort Robinson , and two troops of
the same regiment to Fort Niobiara ,
coming from Forts Rile } ' and Sill.
At Forts Robinson and Niobrara
are already located two troops of the
First cavalry , and the incoming of
five troops more will give Fort Robin
son a full battalion of four troops and
Fort Niobrara the remaining three
troops of the seven in this depart
ment.
Andrew Christiansen , at one time a
blacksmith at Brownlee , some time
ago bougnt a line saddle of Fritz &
Lewis , giving as security a mortgage
on the saddle and his riding horse.
He then traded the horse off , sold the
saddle to John Smyser of this place
and joined the army , under the im
pression that the laws of this country
were like those of tiie old , and that
he could not be tried by a civil court.
He has learned more of American
law since tnen and now languishes
behind the bars of the county bastile
awaiting trial tomorrow on the charge
of selling mortgaged property.
A new postoffice has been estab
lished at the Bullis store on the Kpse-
bud stage road and the state line ,
about fourteen miles northwest of
Valentine. W.T.Bullis is postmaster ,
and the office is named Britt , in honor
of one of the old settlers in that
neighborhood. The office will receive
a daily mail , and will be a bi ne it tea
a large number of farmers , many of
whom have already ordereu their
mail sent to the ne\v oflice. The first
mail went out yesterday morning.
Miss Clara Watson came up from
Grand Island last week to take the
position of assistant in the Valentine
postoffice. Miss Watson is well known
in Chei ry county and will no doubt
give complete satisfaction to the
patrons o ± the office. Mrs. A. M.
Sherman is helping in the office this
week until the new assistant learns
her duties. The former assistant ,
Minnie DeWoodT , returned home to
Ainsworth Sunday morning.
To accommodate our patrons we
have decided that those accounts not
now in the hands of attorneys will be
held until January 8 , before they are
given them. Those who have not re
ceived statements will do so January
1 , and if payment or provision is not
made during the week , the account
will be given attornej's. Everybody
two years or more in arrears will hear
from the collectors.
Hon. John Shore started out to the
ranch the first of the week where he
went to wind up affairs preparatory
to put in tne winter as a legislator
from this district. John is tne only
fusion member that was elected last
fall west of Holt county , and will
prove a factor with the "powers that
be" at Lincoln.
John J. Newberry and Florence E.
Morgan were married in Cody Christ
mas eve , at the residence of Squire
Mogle. that gentleman performing
the ceremony with dignity and dis
patch. Our informant tells us the
groom { > set 'em up * ' to all the boys ,
and adds that there's nothing small
about Johnny.
F. G. Russell , who was treasurer of
Boyd county for two terms , and an
old friend of J. A. Hooton and the
editor , came down from Gordon Sun
day morning and is visiting the var
ious school districts of the county
collecting and looking after the busi
ness of the American School Book
Company.
A rumor is going the rounds to the
effect that soon after January 1 the
F. , E. will extend the run of trains
5 and 6 from Norfolk to Longpine.
If this is done it will be possible for a
person to go from Valentine on the
afternoon freight , arrive in Omaha
next morning and return that night.
J. B. Sweeney came up from Gor
don on the freight Wednesday eve
ning. He has been sojourning in the
eastern part of the state for some
weeks past , mostly on business con
nected with his ranch. Joe is making
rapid strides in the way of cattle
dealing. Rushville Standard.
O. D. Carey was down from Crooks-
ton Tuesday and called at our sanc
tum. The weather was so warm that
he drove all the way without gloves ,
and was actually warm when he ar
rived in town. This weather is quite
a contrast to the kind we had twelve
or fourteen years ago.
Mrs. Good and the baby returned
