in two. For instance:

competition sells for
$2.00, LOCKWOODS'

Dish, competitors'price

Years.
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

The High school retains the Hag for
another month. 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.

A fire started at the home of E. C.

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.

catcd, had been afire and burnt through
the second tloor, but luckily had been
put out before much damage had been
done.
