ABOUT NOTHING The Times' Unjust Attack on Com missioner Caho. GREED THE MOTIVE ChnrfiCH of Dereliction of lititv Proves the Times Unwarranted AttncK-A Poorly 'Concocted Falsehood Mndo Vdra by Avaricious Instinct. The Alliance Tames, in its frantic effort to gain political capital out of nothing, makes a long-winded attack on the board of commissioners of Box Butte county in its issue of last Tuesday, in which every member is charged with a neglect of of ficial integrity. But like everything else to his credit, Mr'. Ellis has again made a blunder and proven his inability to deal fairly with his fellow men. The charge is made that the county com missioners failed to act in regard to a road petition establishing a highway be tween our neighboring town of Heming ford and the county seat. The .road, as prayed for, was to run parallel with the B. & M, railroad right-of-way. Now, the fact of the matter is this: Said petition was filed at the office of the county clerk and a commissioner appointed .as over seer to establish such highway. And, just as brief as it is to tell the story, be re the matter rested. No report was made and no legal proceeding relative to the petition in question was ever brought before the county commissioners. This is the truth in a nutshell, while Bills' long attack is a bushel of falsehoods. The singling out of Mr. Caha In the false attack shows the cloven foot of his accuser. The Insinua tion that Tub BIbkald as the official paper of Box Butte county is where the shoe pinches and Ellis' greed to poke hi snoot in the public trough is the real contention. Jt will be doing that man no injustice to state that he cares as little for the road to Hemingford as he does the way to heaven. County pap alone will nurse his injured feeling and he puts up baby talk, to ga'Vi his' point. Mr. Ellis is starving for want of patronage and not having the necessary circulation to entitle the Times to official recognition he becomes desperate and attacks the county board without provoca tion. Had Mr. Ellis, in his attack, but omitted his selfish motive for county pat ronage his charge might have carried weight, but as it is, the poor fellow's cake is worse than dough. The road in question is the same that has been traveled the past fifteen years by residents of Hemingford .and Alliance and tve do not believe the trickster of the Times will be able to cause estrangement between the good people of these towns and those living along the route. Those who desire further information in regard to this road question are respect fully referred to either of the commis sioners, Messrs. Duncan, Loer, Caha or County Attorney Mitchell, and close in spection of the county records is also solicited that this matter may be fully understood. A Republican Hoodoo. And why does the Times publish ma licious falsehoods against Sheriff Reed? And why does it attack' Commissioner Caha? The reason is obviour. It is simply a question of the dollars and cents. The Grip is now republican. It has flopped over, to the dismay of tho Times and there's not enough of g. o. p. pie for two. The land office publishing is given more to the Grip than the Times, And hence those howls. Better watch out Mr. Ellis, or you'll lose all. The republicans think you a case of "too much Johnson." For even if Reed and Caha are defeated, you need not expect any of the county, pie. The Grip will swallow the Time's share if not the Times. The Times might give it appendicitis. Ffas the Times iorgotten how a year ago when it attacked Commis sioner Loer, as if is now attacking others, that many republicans voted for Loer who was elected because of the Times oppo sition ? In fact the whole republican ticket would fair better politically if it were not cursed with tt)e asinine support of the quill driver on the Times. Theodore Johnson, one of our old-time friends from the north part of the county, was in the city yesterday. While here he ac quired title to another quarter of land ad joining his ranch, making the third quarter he has purchased this year. Mr. Johnson came to the county sixteen years ago with little of this world's goods, but he is now one of the most prosperous stockmen in this section. And The Herald is glad to see him prosper.

' A serious accident befell the nlno-ycar-old son of Ben Johnson, living twelve miles, west of this city, last Saturday. The boy and hired man were left at home alone Mr. and Mrs, Johnson being in town. During tho afternoon while the man was at work on the ranch the boy went to the barn and it is thought was kicked hy one of the horses. The lad received an ugly gash on the side of his head extending from the forehead to the chin and the jaw bone broken. After regaining conscious ness lie was able to make bis way to tho house though very weak from loss of blood. The lad was at once brought to this city and is recovering satisfactorily under the surgeon's treatment. Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker, consul in America of the Salvation, Army, wife of Commander Booth-Tucker, and second daughter of William Booth, founder of the army, was killed in the wreck ot the east bound California train No. 2 on the Santa Fe, sear Dean Lake, Mo., eighty-five miles east ot Kausas City last Wednesday. Colonel T. C. Holland, ia charge of tbe Salvation Army at Amity, Colo., was fatally injured. The train ran into an open switch at Dean Lake. Several other passengers were severely injured. Two gentlemen from Chadron, who arc railroad men, are spending their time in Alliance working for A. G. Fisher, candi date for district judge. Tun Herald be lieves that the voters of Alliance are in telligent men and able to cast an intelli gent ballot without being instructed by anyono from Chadron or any other place. They know the recotds of the various can didates for judicial honors. A Hallowe'en party is one of the soicial features to take place tonight. Invivations in the form of a yellow pumpkin are out and cause much interest. They read as follows: Gut till your nerve In order, "yoo tluit your hi'iirt Ii rlK'it, Ktir.in'iylw tro tho mi n iiliull rUo You hco buuio Kruusome ididit; Tor lis tlm nlRlit fur MH'otres Speotri's fut and spectio lean 'JJhcy u ways liiku tliu exeiL-lM!

Some mon Ho to savo thomsclvoi; some lio to defame others. The former nro cowards; the lat ter knavos. Some recent issues of tho Times lied, both directly and by implica tion, about Sheriff Reed. Wo proposo to pillory the liar rather than vindicate tho Sheriff. Sheriff Reed, in private or offic ial life, needs uo vindication before tho voters of Box Butto county. Tho busi ness men of Allinncc approve Sheriff Reed's rccoid and will support him at the polls noxt Tuesday, And they are cer tainly competent to judge, And what business man would vindicate Sheriff Reed's traducer In Alliance? Lies arc dangerous things to deal in and those concerning Sheriff Reed would everlasting ly blast tho Times editor if he did not al ready have the hot end of the poker in his hands. It would be tedious and unprofitable to compel our readers to wade through the tissue of falsehoods which appeared in the Times concerning Sheriff Reed. There fore we will not offend the good sense and judgment of the public by rotating them in detail. They carry their own refuta tion in their evident absurdity. Judges and Clerks of Election.
