Dick Watkins Weds.
The announcement of the marriage
of Richard Watkins, the well known
cattle man of this city, comes as a sur
prise to his host of friends here, but
all unite in wishing him a happy time.
The bride is a Mrs. Hill, formerly of
Missouri. The nuptials were eclcbrat
' cd at Long Branch, California, Jan
uary 27. Dick left here less than a
; month ago to spend the winter in
' California and his warmest friends
never suspected him of forsaking his
batchelorhood.
1 However, since we come to think of
lit, it was just a year ago when Dick
'Jtiftook advantage of the weather to gi e
a lady menu a sletcn nue. It was such
yt&W&riii limiQiml nrnirntmn
unusual occurance for him, that
j&Simon
Spry, Billy King and others
j0 hired a bunch of street urchins to catch
the sleigh and get in if possible; for
i j&. which each arab succeeding in getting
w "T . .
, into the tne sleign was to receive ten
T -.cents. The fact that it cost Spry and
W ,7 King about S 10 each to pay the kids,
i'.v- Y3,tells how well they succeeded. The
'S.EHyhole town turned out to see the fun.
t , iEor a time Dick was nad hut seeing it
; jSwas po use, decided to take it as a
ll&J'joke. That cured him of heitig bashful
jfnUin the presence of ladies, which no
accounts for his actions last

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
for New
ItnllronU In WjoinltiR. Now
Homestead Hit! Ily
Kinkaid-
Pi ess dispatches of yesterday con
tained the following interesting infoiin
ation: Articles of incorporation of the Big
Horn Railway company have been
filed in Wyoming, the incorporatois
being General Manager George W.
Holdrcge of the Burlington; G. W.
Loomis, his assistant; W. P. Dinkcc,
auditor; A. D. Alice, assistant auditor;
and J. E. Kclby, solicitor. The capi
tal stock will bo $5,000,000.
The Big Horn Railway is the branch
of the Burlington planned to run
through Big Horn and Fremont coun
ties, Wyoming. This branch will ex
tend south from the Burlington's lines
in Northern Wyoming, and will be a
rival of the branch to bo built by the
Northwestern from its main line at Cas
per to the Shoshone reservation.
The opening of this reservation will
probably take place next summer, and
both the Burlington and Northwestern
will begin building as soon as the bill
providing for the segregation and sale
of the northeastern section of the res
ervation has been passed by congress.
New Hoincstcnd Hill.
Congressman Kinkaid today intro
duced a bill giving preferential right to
a certain class of cntrymen under the
640-acie act, commonly known as the
Kinkaid act, to those settlers who were
deprived of their settlement by icason
of lands bciuir withdrawn under the
irrigation act and now turned back to
settlement.
He also introduced a bill giving
entrymen under the Pathfiiuder irriga
tion project in Nebraska until May,
1907, to commence residence. This,
bill is in effoct amendatory to the
national irrigation act wherein entry
men have only six months to commence
residence. As the Pathfinder project
is not expected to be completed for
several years, Judge Kinkaid believes
it will woik a hardship upon those per
sons locating along the canal to take
up their residence when there is no
water in the stream. His bill extends
the time of commencing residence and
if passed will give those who have
already located 011 the land the right to
obtain leave of absence from the local
land office until May, 1907.
During the past year there has been
a decided effort made to start school
libraries in Nebraska. Richardson
leads as the banner county have in
vested over $1,700.00 in the past year.
Box Butte has made a beginng, there
being several good libraries in the
county schools, and many teachers are
interesting themselves in the good
work this winter. The first entertain
ment this winter for that purpose was
given last Friday night at the iiome
of Mr. Brower in district No. 1 same
being a box social, at which a very
pleasant evening was spent by those
present, every one enjoying the enter
tainment offered by the teacher Miss
Fanny McCoy and pupils. Ten dol
lars were received which will at once
be invested in good 'library books for
the school.
The Lolspeich brothers near Hyannis
who have been hunting a couple of
gray wolves for the past week, have at
last killed one of them. It is the larg
est ever heard of in that vicinity,
weighing a hundred and twenty-five
pounds. The two wolves had been in
the neighborhood for the past three
months killing calves, cows and horses
to the value of $500 or ?6oo for the
boys. On one occasion they even kill
ed one of their dogs. There is a largo
bounty on wolvos in that county and
especially on these two. A number of
men are still on the trail of the second

ltetnor.se of Conscience Smcs VVnshcr
Wont n n 5 5(1 Conscience
Hurts Thief
Some two weeks ago J. B. Gray sent
a valuable suit of underwear to' his
washer woman together with his grist
of laundry. When she caino to got the
wash Iroiu the line, some miscieant
had stolen the underwear valued at
57.50. The poor woman bemoaned her
sad fate and prepared to icp.iy her
patron today. Imagine her amaze
ment this morning, when she found
the missing garments at her door, with
the following note pinned to them
written in a legible hand, hut with no
name signed. "I have couchiJcd to
return these goods and ask forgiveness.
I believe it better to work hatder and
enjo le&ti bodily com fot tn than to
cnduic compunction of conscience, to
say nothingof what else might follow.
You may wonder if the Preaching at
the Baptist Chinch, had anything to do
with it. and it is but Justice to say IT
HAD!"
If any one doubts the efficacy of
prayer, or the good results of revival
meetings, let him forever hold his
peace. And yet Mr. Gray, his land
lotd and the washer-woman are scepti
cal, prefeiring to believe that the thief's
"what might follow" to be fear of cap
ture, rather than rcpentctice. Another
sceptic said ho believed tho suit was
returned because the thief was not
largo enough to fill it. But Gray and
the laundress are happy, just the same.
