Dolson Shoots Out of Xiuclc.
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

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. Lexington Pioneer.

Farm Paper Doesn't Fill the Dill.
A farm paper is all right as an
addition to the farmer's reading
matter, but first of all he wants a
newspaper; one that will give him
all the telegraphic news of the
world, markets, state and national
politics, together with a lot of
wholesome reading for the family.
The Semi-Weekly State Journal is
just such a paper, published eyery
Tuesday and Friday at the state
capital. For a short time the
Western Poultry News will be sent
free one year to those sending $1
for The Journal. Address, State
