Jim Pinkerman was deputized Tues day of last week to serve a warrant upon Sirene Holtz, of Boyd county, who was charged in county Court of Holt county with having rustled a cou ple of head of steers from McClure’s, ranch during the herding season of 1804. The warrant was served and the prisoner brought over Thursday apd placed in the county jail where ha remained until Wednesday morning when his preliminary hearing com-' menced. The case was prosecuted by County Attorney Murphy and Messrs. M. F. and j J. J. Harrington, and defended by Attorney T. V. Golden. The hearing of testimony occupied almost the entire day. It seems that defendant Holtz, who at that time lived in Cedar county, was running a herd near the McClure ranch, for some non residents. Drayton and McClure were also running a herd on the latter’s ranch and the two herds were in close prox imity. Drayton and McClure last two head of steers, and lately found one in the possession of Holtz that is identified by Drayton as one of the two lost. After hearing all the evidence and the arguments the judge concluded to bind him over under $500 bail to appear before the district court next Saturday., which la the first day of the term, APOLOGY ACCEPTED. The editor of the Blair Leader will please take notice that the man who compiles this department never writes an item for the pnrpose of seeing it re produced in the Omaha Bee, or any other paper. He writes of matters and things calculated to educate, benefit and amuse its readers, and selects local sub jects in preference to all others for the reason that The Frontier is essentially a local paper and has no ambition be yond that. Remarks in these columns might be reproduced in the pride of two continents, and their author never know it, as be has such a superlative dislike for Rosewater’s politics that he never reads the Bee. The above from the O’Neill Frontier is in reply to an editorial paragraph in a recent issue of the Leader, in which It was suggested that an editorial in a former issue of The Frontier, com menting unfavorably upon Colonel Tom Majors, had been overlooked by the exchange editor of the Bee, and advis ing the editor of The Frontier to send a marked copy direct to E. Rosewater, U. S. A. The closing sentence of the above explains the reason why The Frontier’s article on Majors was not reproduced in the Bee. The Leader knew there was some satisfactory ex planation of how Tns Frontier's article wasn’t reproduced in the Bee, and not having personal acquaintance with the editor of TnE Frontier, assumed that that was the purpose for which it was written. We humbly apologize to our brother up at O'Neills’es place.—Blair Leader. Up to Date Spring Goods. We Lave opened for (ale a large spring stock which embraces all the latest novelties on the market.
