Dear Mr. Thomas

It 1b also quite possible that the

Workmen, while engaged in dig
ging the ditch for the new line of
sewer on the alley line between Third
and Fcurth streets, on Cheyenne
avenue, on Monday discovered a
heavy pine coffin, in which were the
bones of a large man or woman. Ed.
Brennan, who was in charge of the
excavating crew, had them taken out
of the heavy pine box, which was in
a bad state of decay.
The box was made from heavy pine
boards which appeared to have been
the rough lumber brought to this
country from Pine Ridge in the early
days. The box was about eighteen
nches in height and width and four
feet long. It was buried about two
feet underground. Set in the top of
the box was a large piece of glass,
the corners of which were rounded.
The entire box had the appearance
of a home-made coffin.
That the bones contained in the
box were those of an immense human
being is the opinion of surgeons and
others who viewed them when
brought to The Herald office.
But the rather startliug feature is
thai the bones were broken and
sawed, as though the body which had
been placed in the box was that of a
murdered person. It was Buspicioned
that the bones miglu have been those
of animal, but butchers who saw
them say that they are not. Sur
geons are of the opinion that the
bones shown them are from the thigh
and collar bone of a large human
being.
R. M. Hampton, who settled in Box
Butte county before the town of Alli
ance was started and who was here
at the town opening, says that he
does not remember of a burial ever
being made at that place. It Is there
fore very evident that the person
buried was interred not less than
thirty and perhaps forty or fifty
years ago. The sawing of the bones
had evldentl ybeen done with a fine
toothed saw.

A tiootie Story.
Jake Herman and Burt Lalng were
out hunting for geese on Thursday.
Burt says that Jake hit a goose which
was so high in the air and flying so
swiftly that it "Just exploded" when
It hit the ground and the boys Jump
ed for cover, thinking that it was
a German Taube (flying machine) in
disguise. However, they soon found
out that their fears were groundless
and upon picking up Mr Goose they
found that every bone in his body
had been broken by the heavy fall.
Jake is now considering joining the
army as a sharpshooter, after such a
long distance shot as be made Thursday.
Pat NorrlH Goes to Omaha.
Pat Norris, potash expert and all-
around good fellow, who has been
making Alliance Ins headquarters for
several months, left Monday night
for Omaha. Pat has accepted a posl
tion with the Wyoming-Montana Oil
Company of Billings, Montana. The
company is going Into the potash
business and hires Pat at a good sal

boy the last few days before he left
umpiring the football game Satur

one hand, and leading the grand
march at the Elks ball Monday eve

pay Aiuance a visit again as soon
as he has made his fortune In the

CHAPLAIN WILL ENTER ARMY
Ralph Chaplin, interned in the

on conviction in county court of "for

to make good as a member of the
National army. Chaplin was exempt
ed by bis home board at Leaven

pears to not having supported or
cared for tho dependents, the board
at Leavenworth has been asked to
reconsider his case and thansfer his
name and number to Alliance. Aa
soon aa this is done, Chaplin will be
freed from the county bastile and will
become a member ot the National
draft amy.
and is the first newspaper published
in what iB now Box Butte county
on May 18, 1886, three years before
the town of Alliance was started und
some time before the railroad had
reached this section of the slate.
Nonpareil, the site of the first town
in Box Butte county, was located
about six mileB southwest of where
Hemingford is now located. After
the railroad built through the coun
try, missing Nonpareil by several
miles, the people living there moved
to Hemingford and Alliance, desert
ing the townsite, which is now the
location of a prosperous farm.
Al Wiker, an old-timer in Box
Butte county, says that the town was
named Nonpareil on request of 'Gene
Heath, because the latter had only
one size of body type with which to
set up his paper Nonpareil type.
The copy of the Grip from which
today's items were taken is now on
display in the show window of an
Alliance store. Old-timers who were
in the country at that time, and
younger citizens who are interested
in the history of the county, will
watch the regular weekly historical
clippings with Interest.
Harvet Home Social.
The ladies of the Christian church
will hold a Harvest Home Social on

Light refreshments will be served

Invited and a good time is assured

tides and home made candies will be

At a meeting of the directors of
the Community Club Monday, the
Secretary made a full report of the
number of persons applying for work
and the positions filled and it show
ed that the office averaged over fifty
a month.
It was found in soliciting the farm
ers and ranchmen for this year's bud
get that the question arose, "Why
was it necessary for a farmer or
ranchman to be a member of the
Community Club whn others were
receiving the same benefits without
paying any dues?" So the Secretary
was instructed to discontinue the
Free Employment Bureau except to
those who are paying dues into the
club. Hereafter, those who are not
members of the Community Club and
ask the office to furnish help, a charge
will be made of $1.00 for every posi
tion filled. In other words those who
pay dues to the Community Club will
continue to receive the Employment
Bureau fi t, but those that aro not
members will be charged for its
services.
It was shown that on an average
ten persons phoned the office or call
ed at the office every day and It waa
estimated that these different calls
take from three to ten minutes of the
Stenographer's and Secretary's time
and If the service was not worth a
membership in the Club or at least a
dollar the service had better be dis
continued. Probably the membership commit
tee has been to blame in not solicit
ing some of the farmers and ranch
men, but here is an opportunity to
Join if you appreciate what the Club
is doing.
