mothers. Mr. W. S. Pelham, a mer

STUART
The following members of Stuart
Lodge No. 112, A. O. U. W., attended
the Oakdale meeting Monday night:
Messrs. II. Levi, W. J. Henry, C. W.
Dobney, and O. B. Stuart. The boys
assisted in initiating new members
who desired to learn the mysteries of
that order.
George l’arham, a resident of Atlan
tic, Iowa, spent the past week in
Stuart and while here invested in
some Nebraska land. Mr. Parham is
a man who has seen the development
of Iowa land in the early years of that
state and sees a future for this section
of Nebraska. We want more men like
Mr. Parham.
If one-half the energy was spent in
tilling Holt county land that the Iowa
farms require, the Increased produc
tiveness would be surprising. This
country is yet in its infancy, and has
but entered upon the development
which is inevitably to come. It has
passed the transitory stage of experi
ments and is settled by a class of peo
ple who are adapting themselves to the
country instead of trying to adapt the
country to themselves. It is this class
of practical people w ho have been the
pioneers in all states and to whom the
credit of progress rightfully belongs.—

Mr. Ferguson’s claim to ownership of
the hogs, but refused to disclose the
name of the parties he claims sold him
the property. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Ferguson went to O’Neill and swore
out a complaint against John Dibble,
Frank McShane and William Weller;
Sheriff Hall came up that night with
warrants for their arrest and took
them to O’Neill Wednesday morning
where they had a hearing. Mr. Fergu
son is determined to push this case as
this is not the first time he has met
with a loss, having had about twenty
head of shoats taken last fall which he
has been unable to get any trace of.
Several other parties have been losing
stock in and around the neighborhood
of town. Our citizens are aroused and
are assisting Mr. Ferguson in every
way possible in his effort to bring the
guilty ones to justice and break up the
gang who refuse honest labor, prefer
ing to prey on the results of honest
toil of their neighbors for a livelihood.
