fore the family departs for their new home

joy mingled with the surprise and the oc

Mrs. Katherine Mary Elizabeth Dorothea
Hornburg, who had been very ill for
several weeks with a complication of
diseases, died at her home in this city last
Sunday, October 19, 1902. She was born
in Germany, February 29, 1832 and was
married there about thirty-five years ago.
She had been a resident of this county
since in 1885. She leaves five children,
one son and four daughters, to mourn her
death: August F. Hornburg. Mrs. John
Weinel and Mrs. H. N, Anderson of this
place; Mrs. Ernest Kroesing of Alberta,
Canada and Mrs. August Shamburg of
St. Charles, Mo. Mrs. Hornburg was a
member of the German Lutheran church.
There being no church of that denomina
tion in this city, funeral services for her
were held from the Methodist church by
the pastor, Rev. M. i.. Saunders, at 2
o'clock, Tuesday afternoon. The Herald
extends sympathy to the sorrowing rela
tives. Serious Accident With n Shotgun.
While George Douglass and his two sons
were out hunting last Friday the elder son,
George, suffered a very serious and pain
ful accident from a shotgun. The father
was out of the wagon hunting for a lost
bird. The son had just returned to the
wagon, had placed the gun in front, butt
downward, and while drawing the lap robe
up the gun was discharged into his fore
arm, tearing the muscles in a frightful
manner, and setting fire to his coat sleeve
and the cover of the wagon. It lacked but
little' of shooting the younger son, also, as
the gun tore the hat he was wearing in
brim and crown. The father ran at once
to his son and bound the arm as tightly as
possible and started to Alliance with him
but he was very weak from loss of blood
when they got here. In spite of the mus
cles being so badly torn torn the doctor in
attendance thinks the arm not only can be
saved but that he will be able to use it
again. wwww.

George Rcitmicr, janitor at tho court
house, called on tho Herald yesterday for
tho first time. Ho waxed warm and re
quested us to say that the Times lied whon
it stated that Mr. Loer was responsible for
him holding his job at the rate of $30 a
month. That he was taken from the poor
farm and was hired by Commissioner
Duncan and Ex-sheriff Sweeney, both re
publicans. George said "the Times had
it in for him because he stopped his
paper."

A. M. Morrisey of Valentine, fusion
candidate for senator of this district, spent
Monday and Tuesday in Alliance and be
came acquainted with a number of our
citizens. Mr. Morrissey has a largo ac
quaintance throughout northwest Nebraska
and is regarded as a man of more than
ordinary ability. He is serving his second
term as county attorney of Cherry county
and was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority, notwithstanding that the county is
strongly republican. He declined the
nomination this fall. Mr. Morrissey
formerly lived in Dawes county and a
number of prominent republicans there
state publicly that they will voto for him.
We know this to be a fact becaise we heard
them make the statement. Mr. Morrissey
says that the outlook over the district is
very favorable and he believes the whole
ticket will be elected.
Rear End Collision.
No. 41 suffered a rear end collision near
Hazard, the first station this side of Ra
venna, Tuesday morning. No. 41 was
drawn by two engines and a few miles out
of Hazard something got wrong with one
of them and they were delayed for some
time attending to it. A flagman was sent
back to stop a special train which they
knew was following them. It was very
foggy over that section of the country that
morning and the engineer and fireman on
the special did not see him and it seems he
had not thought it necessary to use torpe
does to warn them. They carried but one
car and while they crashed into No. 41
with considerable speed the momentum
was not great and only the Tear car was
damaged to any extent, it being so badly
disabled they had to return to the station
and leave it there before they could pro
ceed on the journey The cook on the
train and one passenger, a lady, were
badly injured, both being quite sick when
the tratn arrived in Alliance, the accident
having delayed it -t throe hours.

SAM SMYSKIt S.VYS SO.Mr.TIIING.
llo Very Ptcnsniitly Invites tho Times to
"Como to tho Center or Shut Up."
Alliance, Neb., Oct. 22, 1902.
Dear Harvrv: So you aro after mo
too, aro you? Not content with such vic
tims as Geo. W. Loer and Col. Mobsy,
you want to take n whack at mo, do you?
Well, all right. In the issuo of tho Times
of Tuesday of this week, you charge that
hundreds of dollars have been "illegally
and wrongfully drawn from tho county
treasury through the official action of
Mr. Loer," and you further say that Mr.
Loer "has been weak and has allowed
himself to bo used as a tool by designing
persons for their own financial benefit."
Continuing further you exclaim: " Voters
and tax payers, lot me call your attention
to some of tho specific acts of Mr, Loer
whoreby your money, tho peoplo's money,
has been wrongfully used, Hero is one
item wo take from tho records: 'S. M.
Smyser, to preparing assessors' books
$125.' Did you ever hear of the like be
fore? Did you over hear of J. K. Neal,
Burlew, Phelps or Tash asking for or re
ceiving pay for that? No, not a cent,
We can not figure out just how Smysor
convinced Loer that ho was so much bettor
than his predecessors that ho should re
ceive n preiipnt of $125."
Now Harvey, when you statu that nono
of my predecessors received n cent for
making assessors' books' you either ma
liciously or through ignorance stnto an
untruth. Mr. Phelps was paid by county
order for making the assessors' books in
189G, 1897, and 1898. The $125 that I
received for making tho assessors' books
this year was not received ns a present
because I entered the amount on my fee
book as a part of tho earnings of tho
office, thus applying that sum on my
salary.
The reason that Mr. Burlow, Mr. Neal
and Mr, Tash presented no claim for mak
ing assessors' books was because they each
received enough fees as county clerk or
clerk of the district court or were paid
by county warrants for other services ren
dered to pay their salaries and deputy hire
and thus were not entitled to be paid for
making the assessors' books. The same
condition of affairs prevailed in the first
year I was clerk and also in the last year
Mr. Phelps served as clerk.
I called at your office this morning and
showed you the claims filed by Mr. Phelps
and which he had a fight to do, and asked
you to make a correction of the article
appearing in the Tuesday issue of your
paper. You wanted to see Mr. Tash
about it. Why so? Is Tash runniag the
Times? Did Tash write the article in
question? I cannot think he did, because
he knows same of the statements contained
in the article to be untrue, or at least
should know them to be falsehoods. You
finally said that the Herald could make the
correction.
mow, sir, x win ten you what 1 am
willing to do. I will place my resignation
as county clerk in the hauds of R. M.
Hampton and will suggest that he, Vx,
Knight and F. W. Harris, all of whom,
are republicans, come to my office and
examiue the records of this office and if
they find that none of my predecessors
have asked for nor received pay for
making assessors' books or that I have re
ceived $125 as a present, as you have
charged, then I will agree that Mr. Hamp
ton present my resignation to the county
board and I will see that such resignation
is accepted, provided that you will agree
to publish whatever finding they may
make ie the columns of your paper. Now
what do you say? Come to the center or
shut up. Yours cordially,
S. M. Smyser
null-Johnson.
Sunday at noon the marriage of Mr.
Archie D, Hull and Miss Lena Johnson
took place at the home of the young man's
parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Hull, the
ceremony being performed by Rev. G. C.
Jeffers in the presence of relatives and a
few intimate friends, Immediately follow
ing the ceremony the wedding dinner was
served. Mr. Hull is a carpenter of this
city, having come here from Edgar about
two years ago, and is a young man of
excellenr character. The bride is a Box
Butte girl, having been born in the county
and lived here all her life, where she has
the respect and sincere friendship of the
many who have known her since child
