No. 109's train crow has been hav

ind near Ansley. Two successive
Mornings that train has drawn a bad
engine out of Ravenna, catching the

Engineer Harbottle and "Bill" Cun

071 used several hours in getting to
Ansley and then reported only four
liot drivers and various other defects
in the "hot" line. Engineer Strand
was given a "P. D. Q." call out of Ra
venna, and came to the rescue, with a
fresh engine.
Station forces worked Sunday hours
Washington's birthday and the Alli
ance section forces were placed on a
lioliday or Sunday basis, which means,
"no work at all'.' The station men
were, however, at nearly every station
held on or given additional calU on ac
count of the sudden drop in tempera
ture, strong winds and snow making

Operator T. H. Peering of the Alli
ance office returned to work the first
of the week, bumping Extra Operator
Arthur Uhl of Crawford, who had been
working his position while Mr. Deering
was called away due to a relative'e
death in Iowa.
"Bill" Bennett says "Just my luck."
He didn't get back to Alliance in time
for the big engineers' feed Thursday,
night.
The Alliance division experienced it
night for train movement Wednesday.
Although the mercury has been lower
than 1G below this winter, a strong
"northwester," with biting snows and
sleet, impaired train movements.

in several ways. In addition to the

galoshes, as well as with the people
who wear 'em that way, but it was
not until yesterday, when we read a
statement on the subject by Sheriff
Mike Clark of Omaha, that we under
stood just what it was. Of course, the
sheriff's statement makes it all clear
in our mind.
"That footgear is bad mannered,"
the sheriff is quoted as spluttering,
although no man really splutters un-

THE MYSTERY SOLVEDl '
Our Hemingford contrib., J. Winston
Wilk.. has finally reached a logical
solution of the famous Hemmgford
dog poisoning mystery, which has had
all the canine owners m tne neign-
loiintr town un in the air for two or
three weeks. There are two or three
unimportant phases of the diabolical
nlot that J. Winston has not as yet
unraveled, but he could go ahead and
unravel them any time that the notion
Tiappers to strike him. His theory
follows:
"Colonel Grimes (auctioneer and
town cop) has about unraveled the dog
poisoning mystery. (J. Winston reaiiy
solved it himself, but in his charac
teristically modest way not only dis
claims all the clory, but even present,
it to "the law.") The blame Is now

ingford bootlegger. This .bootlegger.
it seems, holds some one resident o
this citv to blame for the raid by the
Alliance officers New Year's eve night,
and this some one resident had made
known his plans for opening up an
other butcher shoo In Hemingford m
the near future. What more awful
revencre could the bootlegger devise
than to poison the dogs? If this theory
proves correct, it certainly was a ciiny
trick on the part of the bootlegger, as
Hemingford has long hoped lor cheap
er sausage.
This theory might not pan out, but
we have implicit confidence in our
friend. J. Winston, and a growing cer
tainty that the full truth will never
be jenown until the Hemingford "law"
accepts some such assistance. .
Wo have resolved not to buy a dog
as long as this poisoner is at large.
TODAY'S BEST STORY.
"See here," protested the lawyer,
"if I am going to defend you, you'll
have to drop that guilty look." This
happened in Scottsbluff, of course, for
the Star-Herald reported it. It's very
important that we make this point
plain, or half the attorneys in the city
will be hopping on our neck, ami it's
already raw.
"I can't help it," replied the client
"You see, I'm new in the bootlegging
business, and I have an awful )oor
The Rev. Mearl should feel com
plimented. Two prominent business
men told the editor yesterday thajt nit
er reading the preacher's article
aeainst the dance, they had decided
never again to tread the wazes of the
waltz or any other dance, for thnt
matter. "I'm through," one of
them said, emphatically, "and Jonn
tells me that he's decided never to1
dance again. Those sermons did it '
Questioning revealed the fact that the
men were both getting along wen in ,
years ami that neither or tnem nuu
danced for twenty years, but it waj a
great moral victory just the same.
If what the Rev. tells us is fact, the
dance is trettinar too interesting for
any man to miss, unless, as Mother
Partington used to say, "he is an oc
togenarian and can't Jift a peck of
wheat bran."
The merry widow who shoved a
butcher knife through the interior of
her third husband at Lincoln the other
day may find a good opening in the
movies or on the stage yet Her diary
has not been discovered, but there are
some entries in her "wedding gift
book that fairly scintillate. Thus, in
a description of the first day alter
the marriage, which included a cafe
dinner, an auto ride and a luncheon,
this comment follows:
"Getting married is sure tiresome.
The book had a page for new fur
niture. The bride wrote: "We haven t
got a darned thing.
The wedding gift from the groom
was a carving set The bride says her
gift was "a ruby ring and a few prom
ises which I later broke."
There was a time when it was
thought dueling could never be brought
to an end. Ridicule finished it That
has never been tried on war.
