The ends of his shoes and the toes f his feet were severed as though cut vith a knife. He was a good citizen, highly re pected and esteemed by his neigh •ors. He leaves a wife and several mall children to mourn his loss. Memorial Service. There will be memorial service at he Scottville Presbyterian church lext Sunday, June 27, at 3 p. m. in nemory of our Sunday school superin endent, Mrs. Mott, who passed away o the better life recently in the city if Omaha. All are hereby invited. H. Jacobs, Pastor. Chadron Journal: C. II. Cornell •resident of the First National Bank if Valentine, it is understood is pro noting an electric railroad to run rom Valentine to Anoka on the ionesteel line of the C. & N. W. The oute of the electric line to go Brough the heart of the rich farming egions of Cherry, Keya Paha and 3oyd counties. Surveyors are now at vork making preliminary surveys for ihe proposed line. Mr. Cornell has a vater right on the Niobrara river a •hort way from Valentine which will ;ive him adequate power to generate ;nough electricity to give power to the new line which when completed will be about ninety miles long. About ten years ago Northwestern engineers made an estimate of the magnitude of the power which coulc be furnished from this narrow defile on the Niobrara river if properly dammed and their figures were t< the effect that enough power could bi devleoped to handle all Northwesteri trains west of Omaha. Roy Bradley, who was on the twirl ing staff of the O’Neill ball team last year and the year before, has submit ted a proposition to the base ball lovers of Norfolk to furnish them with a winning ball team for a bonus of $400 per month; that is for that amoitit he will put in a team there, pay the players and all expenses, take all the gate receipts and use the bonus of $400 to pay the deficiencies, if any, or if not have it for velvet. If the sport lovers of Norfolk put up the coin we believe Brad will give them a cracking good team for that money. A special meeting of the city council was held Wednesday evening when a contract was entered into with David W. Ryle of Lincoln for the scraping and painting of the stand pipe. The interior and exterior of of the pipe will be thoroughly scraped and then painted with a paint es pecially (manufactured for tnat pur pose. The inside of the standpipe will receive three coats and the out side two. A wire screen will also be placed over the top of the pipe to protect the water from birds and insects. John Grutsch was in from the north country Monday last having in his possesion a petrified buffalo head that he had dug up on his farm out on the Eagle. The head evidently belonged to a giant buffalo as it measur es over a foot across below the horns. The ends of the horns are broken off but it still measures a little over two feet from tip to tip. This is the second buffalo head Mr. Grutsch has found upon his place and proves that in early days the canyons along the Eagle creek were the habitat of the buffalo and kindred large game. WaltMasen; “Only a little longer, and the journey is done, my friends! Only a little further, and the road will have an end! The shadows begin to lengthen, the evening soon wil close, and it’s ho for the Inn of the Sexton, the inn where we’ll all repose The Inn has no Bridal Chamber, m suits for the famed or great; thi i guests, when they go to slumber, an : all of the same estate; the chamber i are small and narrow, the couches ar hard and cold, and the grinning, Hast less landlord is not to be bribed with gold. A sheet for the proud and haughty, a sheet for the beggar guest; a sheet for the blooming maiden—a sheet for us all, and rest. No hells at the dawn of morning, no rap at the chamber door, but silence is there and slumber, for ever and ever more. Then ho for the Inn of the Sexton, the inn where we all must sleep,.when our hands are done with their toiling, and our eyes haveoeased to weep!” The Feelers and the High School team came together on the local diamond last Sunday afternoon. Rain interrupted the game in the last half of the fifth inning, the score then standing 6 to 0 in favor of the High School. The Peelers presented a very weak line-up and the question of the outcome of the game was never in doubt, even before the game started. In fact we believe the Juniors could give the line-up they presented Sun day a good contest if they got away with the long end of the score. Hugh Coyne was on the firing line for the High School and during the five innings did not allow them even the semblance of a hit. A “phenom” named Smith was on the rubber for the Peelers and while not touched up very lively the punk work of the rest of the team allowed the "students” to score about at will.
