McUrogtf lias engaged to super intend the largo ranch of John Hughes west of town for tho coming year. A pair of twin babies arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Jackson on the 10th Inst. There is one of each kind. John Hughes left for Crawford on Monday to visit his old friend, Ocorgo Barngrovcr, who is undergoing a long and painful illness. Mrs. N. O. Poole is beiiind the boxes in the postofllce during tho temporary abscuce of Postmaster Suow, who is nursing his little daughter, Fern.

Charles Dorgan of Chadron and James Hunter of Hunter's ranch shipped 1,. '00 sheep from this station on Saturday. They accompanied the shipment to Onmliu.

Kritz Hoffman had a land cuse In court which necessitated his being at the county seat a few days recently. We haven't heard which come out ahead, Fritz or the other fellow. The Chadron Times says that "Pat Gregg of Marsland was courting at the county seat last week." We don't be lieve It. Ho must have been there Cor something else. Pat does his courting in Marsland. An agent for the Omaha News was soliciting subscriptions in this place on Tuesday, and strange to say somo who do not take the county papcr3 to advise them of what Is going ou in their own county, subscribed. Ueorge Brltton has been gone court ing so long that we're beglunlng to got uneasy. It would bd a terrible thing if George should get mixed up in some f those indictments which Hood the present term of the Dawes county court. Miss Km nm Shlmek of Lawn and Mr. Winnie Keano of Glrard were married on Tuesday at the home of the bride's parents. Miss Shlmek, who U a nice young lady, was prettily attired in pale blue with white trimmings. Mr. Keano is In the employ of the B. & M., being section foreman at ISlrard. We understand that Humphrey and Eugene Kendrlck, J. D. Lack and Wm. Hollinrtike, who were courting In Chadron last week, were so intoxicated by court life that they failed to wake np when Marsland was called and were carried ou to Hemingford. The boys place the blame on the conductor but then we guess what the trouble was. The illness of Fern Suow of which we made mention last week developed into a serious case of diphtheria. How ever, Dr. Hartwell of Crawford had the case well in hand before the critical time arrived and by using antltoxine hypodermlcally the disease was some what batllcd, We are glad to say that at this time Fern is very much better and will soon be as good as new. To prevent the spread of the disease, antl toxine was administered to the other children having been exposed and it Is hoped that no other cases will develop. BOX BUTTE.
