BIG BARGAIN
and a rare opportunity to own a fine
AS
mo
received a statement from one of the

tor, who told him it was his son, the
little one who wore a red sweater. This
little man is barely seven years old.

returning it at 5:30, and as he climbed
out of tho buggy told them to charge

gineer some day.
Accident to Conductor Will Reed
Friends of Will Reed, who for years
was a resident of Alliance and a con
ductor on the Sterling division, will bo
interested in the following extract from
a letter written by Will to his mother,
Mrs. Jennie Reed, under date of Feb.
5th:
"I can't tell yet whether one leg will
be shorter or not, as you know it is in
a plaster caste for six weeks or two
months. Little Michael takes care of l
the chickens and gets about a dozen '
eggs a day. He simply lives with the (
chickens. Give my kindest regards to
all tho railroad boys, both on the main
line and south line"
While baling hay on his farm at
Marshall, Mo., Mr. Reed caught one
foot in the hay press, breaking the
bones above the ankle. This was on
Ian. 18. iqio After all his years of
railroading without a scratch, it looks
as if farming was a more hazardous
occupation. u
From Edgemont Express:
A. Brown, storekeeper, was an Alli
ance visitor last Saturday;
E. P, Bracken, Gen. Supt., has been
promoted to Assistant General Manager
on lines east of the river.
Engine 319G arrived from Alliance
last Wednesday morning with snow
piled up clear to the head light, which
showed the snow had drifted badly.
Supt. E E, Young, of the Sheridan

quarters in Alliance in place of E, P.
Bracken.
On Tuesday the Burlington started
dispatching' trains between Alliance
and Edgemnt by telephone, and by
Sunday next will have the line installed
for messages.
The engines that were in the wreck
on the High line arrived in Edgemont
Thursday afternoon and show the
effects of the terrible impact. 602
looks as though a full sized cyclone
had hit her.

mechanic on the Alliance division has
been assigned other duties, and his
place has been filled by F. C. Stuby,

mont, is visiting his father for a few
days, his health being very poor
We were told that Ira Phillips took
a prospective buyer over to Mr. Leath
er's a few days since with a view to
buyinp Mr. L's. relinquishment.
C. H. Hubbell has put a phone in
his house within the last few days.
There were very few people out to
Sunday-school last Sunday, although
it was the finest day we have had for
weeks. Has it occurred to the people
in this neighborhood that the Home
stead Sunday-school is the only Sunday-school
or religious service that is
being held in this part of tho country?
Hemingford, 25 miles, and Marsland.
20 miles, are the nearest places where
such services are being held, there be
ing none at Canton,
Among those visiting among the
neighbors last Sunday were Geo. Jones
and family at Mrs. Miller's home;
Robt. Spoon and family at John
Ryan's: Mr. Wagoner and family from
the Curley neighborhood with Uncle
Billy Burk and sister: and Mrs. Spoon
and children spent Tuesday with Mrs.
Stages and family.
Messrs. Ball and Scott have been
hauling the hay , they recently pur
chased of Ed. Leathers.
During the past week the prairies
have been shedding their coat of snow
and iceiapidly, and grazing is pretty
good again, the first time for over two
months.
How the blacksmith or the devil on
The Herald force could make "Rat"
Spoon out of Robt. Spoon, or ''Hut
bell" out of Hubbell, and disfigure
some of our other items so horribly
two or three weeks ago, we cannot tell.
Spoon is not a rat, neither is Hubbell
a hut bell.
George Taylor came over from his
home near Hemingford last week to
see his cattle, which Garfield Ball is
wintering for him, and was so well
pleased with the care they were having
that lie voluntarily told uaii lie would
pay him Si. 00 per head for the entire
wiuter instead of 50 cents as agreed
upon. This is an example of honor
such as makes us udtnire a man.
Hiser, Spoon and Ryan went to the
Pine Ridge Tuesday after a load of

House,
wood. The threatened blizzard on
that night and the b&ow that fell made
the trip a terribly hard one for them.
A. D. Weir went over to Wm. El
der's, west of Curley, to see his cattle,
which are being cared for by Mr. El
der, and found them all looking good.
It has been currently reported, and
especially by the Curley correspondent
to the Hemingford Journal, that Mr.
Elder had lost several cattle during the
past hard-months, but this is not true.
and is an injustice to Mrs. Elder and
the children, who have taken excellent
care of their own and all other cattle
entrusted to them, having lost only
dne sickly, sucking calf. We dare
say their cattle arc looking better now
than are those of the originator of such
reports.
Troubles have not come Bingly to
Mrs. Miller of late. One day word
reached her that a step-sister, living in
Blair, had died, and a day or so later
there came the sad news that a brother,
a semi-invalid for several years, had
lost both his eye-sight and power of
speech. While she was feeling sad
over these troubles, she discovered her
mare down and unable to get up.
Neighbors were called in and they
worked several hours with the horse
andhopes are now entertained for ist
recovery.
