Tho big Standard Co. sugar factory at Leavittwas sold Saturday to J. A. Parkor of New York for $335,000. Tho factory cost ono million when built, and later improvements nt a cost of a half million woro made. No statement has yet been made by tho purchaser as to what ho will do with tho factory. It is evident, as proven by the experience of the past, that it cannot be operated at a profit at Leavltt for the reason thit the farmers of that section will not grow beets; in fact the land there is not ndapted to beet-growing. It would therefore boo m that the factory must be dismantled and moved to some other section of tho country, and the success In beet growing in Lincoln county makes this county an inviting field for the location of tho factory should the purchaser determine tore move it. We beliovo that the people of Brady, Maxwell, North Platte, Hershey and Sutherland, and all others interested in beet culture, should hold n meeting, nppoint a strong committeo and get in correspondence with the present owner of tho factory, and by giving him the conditions of tho buot industry in Lincoln county might induce him to locate tho fuctory at some point in Lincoln county. In such a move North Platto standi ready to do its part, no matter at what point tho situ may be selected. This is a matter that should be taken up at once. What do you say, beet growers of Lincoln county? TO THE PUBLIC. In justice to Bratt & Goodman we desire to state that THEY were the in surance agents who watched out for our interests from start to finish. It was mainly through THEIR constant efforts that wc secured such a prompt and satisfactory settlement of our recent loss by fire and wc take pleasure in commending them as insurance agents to our friends. Schatz & Clabaugh. Sensation at Brady. Krom tlio llrady Vindicator, On Wednesday of last week Miss Edith Westlunil, living south of town, received a letter in which her lifo was threatened providing sho did not marry an acquaintance of hers by tho nnme of Carl Eckleberg. On tho snme day Mr. Eckleberg re ceived a letter of similar import only somewhat stronger. This noto gave them until tho 23d and stated that in case the demand was not complied with ho would cut her head right ofT. Nothing was done in regard to tho matter until last Tuesday when, while all tho other members of tho family were away from tho house, a masked man appeared at the door of tho West- lund home and requested a drink from Miss Edith. Tho wnter was bonded through tho door und after drinking tho mun asked Miss Westlund if sho remembered that tomorrow was tho 23d. Upon her reply that she did, he asked "What aro you going to do about it?" Miss Westlund told him she was going to do nothing. Whereupon tho man renewed tho threats and went bo far as to display a revolver which ho said would bo used if the demand was not mot during this week. The man then left going from the house to n struw stack close by and disappeared. Ono of thi! men soon came to the houso and whon told about the masked mun came to town for advico. This is indeed deplorable and hard to comprehend any motive for, and wo aro sorry to chronicla tho event, and it has boon our aim to simply stato tho facts as they were given to us. For Sale Cheap.
