Last Saturday afternoon a match ato twenty-five live pigeons each was shot-off between Wilt Dolson and Geo. Winkowitch. Dolson gave Winkowitch the first ten birds dead and the scores resulted as follows: Dolson a 1 a 0 2 2 2 3 s s s 2 2021 I22 12 20 Wlnkowtteh-2 022 2 21 10 0120 0 1 1 0 2 2 2 I 2 2 1 0 '10 Dead out of bounds. The conditions were that the loser should pay for the birds Considering that the match took place during a snow storm, both men made excellent scores, and es pecially so when Dolsou's three dead birds out of bonds is taken into consideration, he having allowed but two birds to get away. Both men think they can do better shooting, and as a result arrangements have been made for another match. North Platte will be able thit. neasnn to put in the field as strong a ball team at last vear. Ah the members of last year's team are still here, and in addition one or two oilier boys who play rattling U'ood ball have become residents of the city. The trouble, the coming season will be to get games. Kear ney has lost five of its best players the two Redmond boys, Gordon Gray and Keefe. This leaves that team in a crippled condition. Grand Inland is shy 011 players and there is some question as to whether that town will have a team of any conse quence, Lexington and Gothen burg are alo short of playerp. The outlook for games is anything but roseate, and about the only thing that may be expected are games with towns east of .1 Grand Island and possibly Cheyenne. It may be possible that a few games can be secured with western league teams as they pass through the city.

EricOhlin, while shredding corn for Ernest Calling south of Brady last Tuesday, had his right arm caught in the shredder and so badly mangled that he was com pelled to have it amputated at the wriBt. He was brought on a freight from Brady to this city and Drs. Quinn and Birkofer performed the amputation. He has lived south of Brady for several years and is about 35 years of age and a single man. He said that alter his hand was caught in the shredder, they were just one hour getting it out, and that durinir that hour he -offered more pain than was caused by the amputating. Gothenburg Independent. Barb wire and staples for sale by Jos. Hersiiey. If the decisoti made by Judge Weetover in the Rhea case is dir ect, viz: That an attonity at law making a collection for a client in which he himselt has an interest can pocket the whole amount and be guilty of no crime under the laws of Nebraska, then it certainly eems to us that a law should be passed covering such cases. We can sec no reason why an attorney at law should not be held as strictly accountable for money com ing into his hands as would be re quired of a store clerk, a lodge treasurer or any other agent what ever.
