Contractor Surlier Gets
Badly in the Hole.
Roy Surber, building 'contractor of
this city, loft rather unceremoniously
Inst Saturday leaving behind him a re
cord of poor business management and
debts that are not yet definitely known
but will probably aggregate $1,500 or
$2,000. This Indebtedness is not evi
dence of dishonesty but rather inability
to correctly figure on building con
tracts, and as a result the money he
received for his work was Insufficient
to pay his labor and material bills. He
had contracts for five or six houses on
which he had materially underbid other
contractors. As work on these build
ings progressed, money was advanced
by tho ownois, but tho amounts re
ceived proved inadequate to meet tho
labor and material bills and of course
tho moro tho w.ork progressed the
larger becamo the existing deficit.
Finally concluding that ho could no
longer keep afloat, he placed his con
tracts in the hands. of C. F. Temple and
announced his intention of going to
Grand Island.
The labor and material bills are Hens
against the houses under contract and
the owners muBt foot the bills in order
to clenr otf tho lien. Among the build
ings under contract by Surber were
tho Christian church, the Guillinumc
house on cast Sixth, tho Charley
Temple residence nnd the Redmond
house, tho latter about completed but
full settlement had not been made.
Extravagantly Enterprising.
It would bo interesting to know just
how many of those who voted against
tho proposition to provide suitable
headquarters for tho firo department,
on tho ground thnt it would increa.e
their taxea fifty or sixty cents a year,
will go to tho ball grounds next Sunday
and pay onp-half that nmount to Bee tile
game. Compared with a Sunday ball
gamo, tho beet interests of the firo de
partment nnd tho efficient protectionof
our property Interests sink Into utter
insignificance. Our houses may burn
and wo may bo homeless, but thank
hiyins wo now have permission to piny
Sundny ball, which of courso is a won
derful impetus to our financial, commer
cial. and moral growth. Cortnlnly the
voters of North Plntto aro extrava
gantly enterprising.
Boy Scouts Pass Through.
The company of boy scouts sixteen
or eighteen in number that were with
the BuITalo Bill Show, arrivod in

practically stranded. They gayo exhibi
tion drills in that city, took up collec
tions, and finally started on n hiko to
Chicago. Two drummers nnd two bug
lers accompany tho scouts, nnd each
scout carries a rolled flag.. Enrouto to
Chicago thoy give drills in tho towns
through which thoy pass and by taking
tip collections manage to secure enough
to buy food. They gavo exhibition
drills on tho streets Wednesday even
ing and appeared at tho Keith last
ovonlng. Last night they resumed their
mnrch.
Modest in His Wants,
The local U. S. lnnd offlco is In re
ceipt of a letter from n Kansas man
who says he desires to enter nine sec

ono for himself and ono for each of his
eight sons. Ho oven goes so far as to
namo tho location of tiio sections, his
desire being to get tho land in a com
pact body. Nino sections equal' 5,760
acres, which would be quite a holding
for one family. This man nnd his boys,
u quniiucu 10 enter, stand an
equnl show with the thousands of
others who desire to homestead in the
roserve.
