The cases of the state against Her bert A. Anderson and Kirk Duncan, charged with cattle stealing, were tried at Sidney last wcok mid both parties were found guilty and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. Scv eial witnesses from Alliance wore at Sidney hat Friday to testify in the case against Anderson. In speaking of the trials', tho Sidney .Telegraph says: "The case of the state vs Anderson was taken up Wednesday njtcrnoon, This is tho case whureiu dufendant H. M- Anderson, living over in Box Butte county north of Alliance, is charged with having come down into Choyeimu, 'bounty on last December, and driven oil suvoral hoad of cattle belonging to Mrs. Ellen Dodge who lives at Grand Island but who has a ranch in thu north part of Cheyenne county in charge of her brother, Mr. ,, Abbott. The jury wu given the case just be ,foro noon, Friday, and after being out but a few minutes, returned with a verdict of guilty, fixing the valuo of the soven cattle taken at St 50." "Tho caso of tho state of Nobraska vs Kirk Duncan was called ThutBday morning. This is the case in which defendant was charged with stealig a steer from Miller Robison of Bridge port. The case was given to the jury on Wednesday afternoon and after re maining out all night, they brought in a verdict of guilty, and found the value of the animal taken to be twenty dollats. this is considered ipiitu a victory for the state as the jury ut last term of court could not agree, although over half of the j.irois favored acquital and it is' gonorally thought disagree ment is almost equal to nu acquital. The vordict seems to give general sat isfactien." SI100I Report.

Can not one of the grade rooms wrest the flag from the High school next mouth? The follow ing rooms were perfect in punctuality: High school, seventh grade, sixth grade, fifth grade, fourth grade, second pri mary, all in the Central building, and first and second primary room, and third aud fourth primary, room in the Emeisou building. It is due to the fifth grade in Central building to state that in that room there has not been one tardy mark this year, though the irregularity of attendance of a few of the pupils has prevented the room from holding the flag. The maiii' expressions of satisfaction made by the patrons of thu school with reference to the school exhibit was a source of gratification to the teachers, and went far toward compensating for the extra work entailed in the prepara tion of the matter for the exhibit. Should our contestant in the statu contest come off victorious who doubts it the Alliance schools and city shall have ovary reason for felici tations for the year's work in the schools. Respectfully submitted, W. H. Baktz' Supt. Hill Home on Fire, A fire started at the home of E. C. Hill, caused by a home patent incuba tor, was the event of quite a little ex citement in this city last Sunday. While the family was at church one of their neighbors noticed smoke com ing from tlie roof, and promptly gave tho alarm. The department arrived at the scene just as the fire was extin guished, and found that one corner of the room, where the incubator wns In. ,.. .. , . .. .... .v catcd, had been afire and burnt through the second tloor, but luckily had been put out before much damage had been done.
