Everybody is glad to see Sam back again and looking bo well. Brakemcn Frank Callander and E. H, Postcn have been sent to Alliance from the cast end. These young men are both very close to the head of the list when they promote more con ductors. Mrs. Mattox, assistant agent at Dal ton, after a shopping trip to Denver, was greatly surprised when she went to take 302 out of Denver to be in formed that it was now a fast train and did not stop at Dalton. . "Oh, but it's coldl" So said a hobo at Crest when Eng. Franklin saw him laying along the passing track and stopped to see if he was hurt. But the poor fellow was nearly frozen and had crept into a pile of cinders to try to get warm. The ever watchful eye of Eng, H. A. Hamilton on No. 302 saved the com pany several dollars at Marlow Wed nesday. He saw a small blaze on a cinder car which would have spread rapidly and destroyed much property. Hamilton backed up and the whole passenger crew turned firo fighters. It is reported that the cast end local will soon be put up for bid. Since the west end local has had regular crews they have made so much better time and their work has been so much more satisfactory it has demonstrated that regularly assigned crews were the best.

He believes in secur ing the best grade stock in the country. His latest addition in this respect is the purchase of high-bred hogs recently at Ravenna. In speaking of the pur chase, the News of that place says: "The Mvtton sale of thoroughbred Duroc Jersey hogs at McKinney's barn last Saturday was quite successful. Something over forty head of fine voting sows were sold, at prices ranging from thirty dollars and upwaids ppr head. Engineer Mike Nolan of Allinnpe bought five head to be' shipped to his ranch near Alliance. He paid over fifty dollars for one or more of them. The average price was in the neighbor, hood of thirty-five dollars per head. The balance of the offering was bid in by farmers in this vicinity. It was as fine a lot of hogs of the kind as were ever sold here." Pleasant "500" Party. On last Saturday afternoon the beau tiful home of Mrs. A. E. Nelson was filled by her lady friends, all eager to try their skill at "500." A very pleas ant afternoon was spent all too soon. Mrs. Roy Bcckwith and Mrs- Lindley Ellis cut for first prize, a Haviland China plate. Mrs. Beckwith cut an "ace." Mrs. Tubbs won the consola tion prize and very much to the sur prise of all this proved to be a plate exactly like first prize. Mrs. Nelson, assisted by her daughter and niece, served an elaborate five-course lunch which was pronounced by the ladies to be one of the best they had enjoyed this season. Killed by Accident. Judge Berrv -returned Tuesday from Omega, in McPherson county, where he was called to attend the funeral of his wife's brother, George V. Sparks, who was accidently killed last Thursday. Mr. Sparks, who has been engaged in fine stock raising, making a specialty of blooded horses, was hauliug manure from the stable and had on a very heavy load. He had driven through a gateway and evidently was shutting the gate when the team started, as is supposed, as the gate was not fastened. One or two of the wheels of the wagon grazed his head and passed over his chest. Whether he was kicked by one of the horses or tripped and fell under the wagon is not known. The accident probably occurred about noon. As he did not come to the house in time for dinner, Mrs. Sparks and a lady friend ate, supposing that he had been detained by work. About two o'clock they started out to investigate the cause of the delay.

Mrs. Tallada and her grandson, Leon Tallada, left this neighborhood for Sioux county one day last week. City Scales Many a town, of less importance than Alliance, finds it necessary to ac commodate the public to have a conven iently located scales for public weigh ing. We suppose that Alliance has no convenience of this kind for the simple reason that what is everybody's busi ness is nobody's business; and, conse quently, nobody has made any effort to secure the same for the city. We call attention to this matter with the hope that some one will become sufficiently interested to take the prop er steps for installing a public weighing scale.
