A young lady from Scottsbluff met
with a peculiar accident the other
day and she Is undecided whether to
sue her employer or a certain stove
concern. It seems she Is one of those
old-fashioned girls who takes her
Saturday night ablutions in the
kitchen, and she was all ready to
take the plunge into thtt wa&htub,
which was convenlnetly placed near
a hot stove. As she daintily lifted a
foot to place It In the tub, she step
ped en a cake of Ivory soap and slip
ped back. ,-When she arose, she
found, to her horror, that she was
marked "Majestic".

Hyannls Tribune: George T. Hast
ings and W. II. Borer went to Alli
ance Tuesday to attend a meeting of
the Elks lodga and witnessed a
wrestling match and boxing bout
on the fide. The boxing bout was a
preliminary and Jerry Florian, for
merly of llyannls, was one of the
contestants, the other being an Alli
ance barber. Col. Hastings says that
Jerry did some mighty clever work
and carried off the honors.
Colonel Hastings did some clever
work himself. Judging from that
story. - Or maybe Boyer thought of
it.
Women sometimes get curious.
Wonder where George and Bill really
were Tuesday night. They're safe,
though, if the girls don't find out
that the Elks meet here Friday night.
