Kearaer w opposed to having this city desig
nated as the. place for holding United States
court, claiaiag that as we have the land office we
should be content. North Platte does not want
the earth, bat it does believe that this is the most
convenient point for the people of western Ne
braska to attaad United States court. It is easy
of access and has a central location.
In addition to the large number who receive

and good will result.
A correspondent of the State Journal, writing
from Logan, gives the following account of the
forgeries of B. H. Mitchell: "The forged county
warrants of B. H. Mitchell, ex-county clerk and
judge, are accumulating very day nntil about
$900 have turned' np and there is no guessing
where the ead may be. The bank of Arnold is
the heaviest loser so far as known, with the First
National of North Platte and the Logan County
bank a good second and third. Honaker Bros.,
money loanors of Gandy, and Hupfer of North
Platte are also out large amounts on snide chat
tel mortgages, while his bondsmen are also out
on money paid into his hands as district court
clerk and squandered for drink and gambling.
The board of county commissioners have offered
a reward of $100 for his return and conviction on
any one of tho "many forgeries, while the banks
and his bondsmen are raising a purse to odd to
the reward, which will make the amount in the
neighborhood of $300. He mortgaged not only a
large amount of ficticious property but also his
wife's team, as well as her house and lots in Gan
dy, and after the mortgage was acknowledged
forged her name thereto. His offico fees were
sufficient to make him more than a comfortable
living, but "Strong drink hath destroyed many."
A gentleman in North Platte tells how ho has
been known to carry off at the gaming tables
there in one night six hundred dollars, but he
doesn't say who carried oil the same money the
next night. He did not stop when his term of
office as county clerk expired, but supplied him
self with blank warrants and has been forging the
name of the present clerk, C. C. Beckwith. A
large number of the warrants have found pur
chasers amongst the brokers of Lincoln. His of
fice has been declared vacant, and next week an
election will be ordered to fill his place as county
judges also to vote bonds to complete the court
house."
A new time card will go into effect
to-morrow but we understand no material
changes will be made, the desired end
being to make closer connections with
the Iowa roads at Council Bluffs.
Mr. Allum, of the Roller Mill, returned
Wednesday from a trip up the road in the
interest ofhis firm. The Hoar made by

Mr. Moody, the evangelist, arrived in
Hastings Thursday and will bold a series
of meetings in that city. Mr. Moody's
tame extends over the civilized world and
his, success as an evangelist has become a
part of the religious history of the present
day.
Grand Island with its usual push and
vigor, is making bids for the Democratic
state convention. The Tribune would
like to see her get it.
A gentleman who made a trip over
theB. fcM. Denver line last week in
forms us that the people of Culbertson
are confident that a branch will be built
from that point to North Platte. Just at
present the air is full of railroad rumors,
some of which are bound to matarialize.
The strike on the B. & M. or some
other cause delayed the mails so that our
Wallace and Wellfleet correspondence

In the summer of 1885 a small band of
buffalo numbering about 40 passed through
this county. Several of them were killed,
some calves caught, and the balance were
driven southwest out of the county. This
little band were the last wild buffalo that
will ever be on Keith county soil, nothing
is left but their old trails and now and then
a horn or some bones to tell that they
ever existed, where but a few years ago,
tens of thousands of them existed and
grew fat on the rich grass of these
prairies. Paxton Pilot.

riotic citizens will observe that, the wind
of the past few days has the Nebraska
signature engraved on its label. There is
but one Nebraska and the zephyr is its
prophet. Considering the raw
winds of the past few days it is a pleasure
to turn to the Bible and find that the day
cometh which shall burn as stubble."

A Bad. .Railroad Accident.
An accident occurred at Colton, nine
miles east of Sidney, about 2 o'clock Sat
urday morning last, that was one of the
most serious that has ever occurred on the

meet freight No. ,19 at Colton. The en
gineer, Michael Powell belonged on the
Cheyenne division, the train being in
charge of the regular conductor, A B.
