"Doc" was personally known by some of our older residents, as he frequently visited North Platte.

County Commissioners White and Herminghausen have appointed Maur ico Fowler poormastor of tho county, decapitating Major Lester Walker, who was serving in that capacity. We understand tho objection to Major Walker was that he wns too kind to tho deserving poor, that ho gave them bnough .provender for a square meal twico a week, when he should have given them but ono squoro a week. As Major Walker is a pioneer resident, a valued citizen and nn old soldier, his dismissal has caused considerable in dignation among his friends. A. B.

The Senior class of the high school was desirous of having a quiet little class party of its own and in order to make it very quiet and exclusive, the Seniors inaugurated a high school skat ing party on the south river for Friday evening. A number of the senior boys attended the first part of the skating party and then slipped back to town nnd joined the rest of tho class who had gathered at the Ottenstein homo to make merry. In the meantime, some of tho undergrads had suspicioned tho plot and planned revenge. Accordingly, thejparty was left to run its course un til a late hour, and when the guests be can to take their leave, a sturdy aggre gation of the lower classmen were wait ing on the outside for them. Each senior boy was siezed and robbed of his foot wear and left to go home in his stockinged feet. The fine collection of shoes was returned to tho rightful owners on Monday morning at chapel.
