cold Sunday afternoon. Roy started out
.skating on the south river about 4
o'clock and skated eight miles west to
the Wilcox ranch where ho spent a
short timo visiting. While ho was pre
paring to return to town the tempera
ture gradually dropped to eleven below
zero nnd Roy in attempting to increase
his speed on the ico broke thru a shal
low place and fell into the water.
Thinking to reach town in a short timo
he arose and tried to skate against a
strong wind which caused his wet cloth

Removing his skates he reached tho
banks of the river nnd started to walk
but was so effected by tho cold that ho
found walking impossible and called to
some men who were crossing the field
near tho Johnson ranch. By tho time
the men reached him ho had become un
conscious and his lower limbs were
frozen. He was taken to the farm
house, where ho was cared for until
tho arrival of a physician from town.
When he had recoved sufficiently to be
moved, he was conveyed to tho St.
Luke's hospital nnd it is reported that
he suffered two hemornges of the
lungs during the evening. At last re

Big Case Remanded.
April 18, 1910, the Platte Valley
Cattle Co. purchased four hundred head
of cattle from R. D. Brown of Big
Springs, on which there was u mort
gage of $13,100. This claim was paid by
the P. V. C. Co. to the mortgager, a
bank" in Ogalalla. Later a claim was
enterted by the Bosserman Gates Live
Stock & Loan Co., of Denver, claiming
to hold a prior mortgage on the cattle
for $1-1,000, but which had been filed in
the county. The Denver company
brought suit against the Platte Valley
Cattle Co. to recover, tho case being
heard by Judge Munger of the U. S.
District court, who decided for the
plantiff. An appeal was taken by the
Platte Valley Cattle Co. and an "pinion
has just been given by Judge Sanborn
of the U. S court of appeals in tho
case, reversing tho judgment of tho
U. S. district court with costs and re
manding the cause with directions to
grant a new trial. Gothenburg Times.

"The Girl From Tokio."
"Tho Girl From Tokio," which Frank
O. Miller will present nttho Keith Fri
day evening of this week is an adapta
tion of one of the most successful farces
known to the German stage.
A young man named Bartley Swift,
an American, has gono to Tokio, Japan,
on iui airnir ot business, which shortly
becomes one of the henrt. .He falls in
love with a bewitching charnire, Nancy
Noyes, an English nctiess. Immediately
thoio springs up n man, an nttacho of
the legation in Japan, one Count Boni
do Brnssic. So fierce is tho count's
jealously that young Swift feara for his
lifo, and having completed his affair of
business, sails away to America. Ar
riving home, he concludes his love for
the Lnglis'i aiWss wasjno more than
ankle deep, and so was in tho proper
stato of mind to fnll in lovo with Blanche
Miller, tho daughter of a wealthy
American. With the rising of tho cur
tain wo have ttartloy Swift, n happily
married man, with all memories of
Nancy Noves well erased from" his mind.
An old fri i.l having suffered financial
roverses, Swift, out of tho kindness of
his heart, lias engaged his daughter,
Esther, as companion to his wife's
younger 'sistor. Meanwhile, Swift's,
tather-in-law, who was engaged in the
tho Japanese trade nnd located in that
country, had married Nancy Noyes.
Things were sort of jotting complicated
in the Miller nnd Swift fumily. Miller
died of fever in Jnnnn and his wife came
to America to settle tho estate. Upon
her arrival, she went direct to Swift's
house and was mistaken for Esther
Morgan, who had been engaged as a
companion for Mrs. Swift's sister.
Nancy Noyes, now Mrs. Miller, had a
sense of humor nnd relishing n joke,
nnd at the same time an opportunity to
imy o(F nn old score with Bartley Swift.
decided to keep up tho delusion. To
make matters still more complicated
and difficult, nnd nttho same timo more
hilarious, tho French count appears up
on the scene in quest of tho widow.
Bartley Swift of course recognizes Mrs.
Miller as his old friend, Nnncy Noyes,
but as his wife is obsessed with tho
theory that thero can bo but one love

only true love, is hockered into keeping
the secret. The fun now grows fnst and
furious. Swift is compelled by Mrs.
Miller to introduco her ns MIbs Esther

Count and mntcrinlly to young Swift'B
troubles, winch have now grown well
