The city of Gibbon went dry at
the recent election, but there is a
contest on, the effort being made by
the wets to invalidate the election
because ol the illegal handling ot
the ballots. It seems that after
the count on election night the dryt
wore afraid that the wets would
tamper with the ballots, so they
took them to Kearney and put them
in a vault nt the court bouse.
wets now claim that the legal
poitory was the city clerk,
they want to have the election
cl.xred oil.
Over near Ravenna some tin
I n iwu parties with rather peculiar
ideas of practical joking visited
Adolph Kocherscheidt'ri home dur
ing thu absence of the family a
week'ago last Sti nday, and drove a
lot of pigu into the kitchen and
shut the door. When the Kocher-
schcidt family returned home in
the evening they found the pigs in
the kitchen, a sack of Hour torn
open, a pail ot water upset, a
dough wallow formed in the middle
of the iloor, and the swine were
making themselves entirely at
home.
A Custer county larmer has dis
covered that hogs in alfalta liclds
arc doii.g gooil work. As is well
known neariy every field is'infested
with sonic kind of a worm called
by some people the army worm,
lint nobody appears to know for a
certainty the exact breed. Well,
this farmer found a pig industri
ously rooting in the alfalfa and at
first thought the porker was doing
injury to the growing crop. Inves
tigation, however, showed that the
animal was turning up the earth
around the alfalta bunches and de
vouring the large number of worms
which Iih industrious snout
brought to the surface.
