Chief and Ssc.etary of Columbus
Fire Department Deny Attempt
to Prevent Pullman Cars
When the officials of the Alliance
Fire Department re-'ent.y nego lated
for a Pullman car to take the dele
gates from Alllnnoe and surrounding
towns to Columbus in January to an
nual state conven ion, they were In
formed that the Unc-n Pacific could
hot allow cars to be parked there
on account of a protest of Columbus
,ecpe.
At first it was suggested by some
that this might be an attempt of
the Columbus hotel people to make
the delegates stay at the hotels. n
astinuoh as a great deal of expense,
rouble and time is saved by having
their own car for the round trip, the
advisability of abandoning it alto
gether was discussed and a letter
written by Mr. Guthrie, of the Alli
ance Fire Department, to the orn
ctals of the Columbus department.
The following answer, which ex
plains itself, was received by Mr.
Guthrie this morning:
COLUMBUS FIRE DEPARTMENT
Columbus, Nebr., Dec. 24, 1913.
Mr. John W. Guthrie,
Alliance, Nebr.
Mr. Guthrie:
Replying to your letter of Decem
ber 22nd, regarding the protest that
the citizens of Columbus had made
asainst the parking of your private
cars, while here during the conven
tion held January 20th, 21st and
22nd. 1914.
We were much surprised to hear
that such a false report should be
given out. Your letter gave us the
first news of the matter. Wei have
taken It up with the agents of both
roads here and they say it is the
first they have heard of It, and
that the citizens or any one party
have Said nothing to them. We al
so showed your letter to the lead
ing hotel man of the city and he
gave us his assurance that there
had bwn nothing said to him of
such a protest, and any one milking
such would be far from voicing the
citizens of Columbus.
We are writing the general iag-
senger agent or the union Factnc,
with the intention of finding out
who started such a report, and will
give you further details.
AH arrangements have been made
for the convention, with the expec
tation of having one of the largest
ever held In the history of the as
sociation, and we will discredit tbe
above report to your satisfaction.
while you are here, and show you
that the citizens, hotel-men includ
ed, are the best bunch you have
ever mixed with.
Yours very truly, ,
HHRT J. GALLEY, Chief.
C. B. SHAW, Secretary.

Injury Sustained by a Fall Last Oc
tober Proves to Be of
Permanent Nature
Perhaps many of the friends of
Mrs. E. J. Reeves will be surprised
to leern that .he Is still suffering
from the Injury to hr right hand
and wrist which ooeiirnnl hist Oc-
toier, and all will regret very much
to know that she will probably nev
er fully recover use of the member.
The Injury was sustained by a fall.
It was very painful from the sitart
but it was supposed that in time it
would completely heal, but It seems
now that there Is no further hope
for that A recent X-riy examina
tion shows a "half dislocation of the
wrist and that 'there was a fracture
of one of the bones. The bones
have so far knit now as to make a
re-breaklng or a ro-tHslooatlnK nec
essary In order to make a perfect
set, and this Mrs. Reeves' advanced
age will not permit.
She has undergone much suffering
but the pain has decreased very
niudh, with prospe that it will
cease altogether presently. She
has a alight use of the fingers of
the hand now and will probably be
able to use the band fairly well
within a few months or a year or
two, notwithstanding the stkff wrist

on the subject. The obJet In pub

THERE never was a stable, successful business es
tablished by misrepresentation, or unjustly
'knocking" a competitor. And be it kaown, I hold no
grievance against any person, particularly against those
who happen to be in the same business as I. My work
and business methods speak for themseNes, and I solicit
a continuance of your patronage, not because "I came
all the way from Chicago to give you the benefit of
moderate prices, etc.," nor because "I'm the man who
came from Missouri" "to grow up witk Alliance." No,
I'm the man who located here because I believed and
still believe I can make a living for myself and family.
I do not place Alliance or its people under obligations
to me for locating here. On the contrary, I feel under
obligations to the people of Alliance and surrounding
country for their very generous support since I have '
been here, for which I thank you most sincerely. Hop
ing I have merited a continuance of same on the prin
ciple of honest work at honest prices,
