The romance writer on the Advocate is
still at it. This time it happened on the
tributary to the upper Frenchman. To
tell it briefly, Peter Scblegel, an old
German farmer, had a daughter, ' buxom,
handsome and pleasing to the eye," es
pecially attractive to the italic optic of
Hans Upperman. The old farmer had
serious objections to Hans, but the girl
reciprocated to the best of her Teutonic
ability. After a row, they "bucked and
gaged" the irate paternal sire, and the
young couple, with all sails set, headed
for Akron. The old man missed the trail
and started towards Sterling. An

reason to doubt that North Platte is the

gives him thirty days iu which to go into
the land and complete his residence.
Charley makes affidavit that he was not
off the land except at short intervals, and

to improve the claim. What effect this
affidavit will have with the powers that
be, remains to be seen. Akron Press.

A gentleman named Stearns was a

his left arm shattered, and his eye sight

Leadville. Both of the unfortunate man's
legs had been amputated below the knees,

hopes that something might be done to

The board of county commissioners has
been in session several days this week.
Not much business of of importance was
transacted excepting the purchase of land
for a poor farm, the leasing of Mr. Fitch's
for a temporary poor farm and the decis
ion arrived at by the board to submit to
four county division petitions. The
eastern third which petitions to be cut off,
will be called Dual county. The west
third will be divided into three counties,
the north county to be called Scotts Bluffs
county, the center Banner county and, the
south third Kimball county Cheyenne
county's lines will be just west of Potter
and east of Lodge Pole. This is the
division decided on at the Kimball con
vention and there is every probability
that it will carry. Potter county and
Wright county petitions were both denied
as they conflicted with the division that
has been proposed. Commissioners Davis
and Neumann voted in favor of the three
county plan, Commissioner Smith oppos
ing. The board has acted wisely in this
matter by favoring the practical plan and
the only one there was any hope of carry
ing. It will compel Potter people to
make the fight if they have good legal
grounds on which to oppose division.

Diseased Horses.
As per previous announcement the
state veterinary surgeon visited the city
yesterday to examine the deceased horses
of the county, with a view of killing all
that had glanders. There were among
the number examined, fourteen head con
demned and ordered killed There were
some very fine horses that were fat and
likely lookins that had to be shot. It is
hard-to see horses thus shot down, but the
work should be continued until the county
is freed of glandered horsas. It entails
quite a loss.upon the owners as they only
receive about fifty per cent of the value of
those condemned. Broken Bow Repub

Strang Co., of Omaha, to build a pipe "
line from Green River Station to Rock
Springs, for the purpose of supplying the
camp and coal mines and the town with
water. For the past eighteen years a
water train has run daily between those
two points, and all water used by the town
and all mines but one has been supplied
with water by train. The average amount
hauled from Green River was about one
hundred thousand gallons daily
and some seasons of the year the water
train was not able to s upply all the water
