Tim Gibbs died at the Pulver hos pital yesterday morning, and as he had for months past expressed tho wish that tho Lord might take him, death no doubt came as a relief to him. Tim had been a familiar figure in town for over thirty years, his father having been a pioneer Baptist minister of North Platte. For a number of years past Tim had been his own worst en emy; he was strongly abdicted to the use of liquor and drugs, buving these from the dimes and nickels he solicited from old acquaintances. He may not have done much good in tho world, but did no harm. Chickens For Sale. 4 Rhode Island Roosters, 1 dozen Rarred Rock hens, 1 dozen white Rock hens. Experiment Station Phone 499.
