On motion prayer of petition was

To the honorable board of supervi
sors of Holt county, Nebraska.
Gentlemen:
Your petitioner Wm. Bokhof prays
that you make an order to the county
treasurer of Holt county Nebraska,
ordering him to strike the taxes for
the years 1890 to 1901 inclusive on lot
tive in block live in the village of At
kinson for the following reasons:
When the scavenger books were made
up it was made to show the delin
quent taxes for the years 1902, 1903
and 1904, were all the delinquent taxes
due against said property, relying od
the scavenger tax books I purchased
said lot at scavenger tax sale and sub
sequently obtained a treasurer’s
deed by virtue of said sale, your petit
ioner believes that the taxes for the
years 1890 to 1901, inclusive are un
collectable owing to the fact above
stated, but on account of the condit
ion of the record the showing of said
taxes casts a cloud on the petitioners
title.
Wm. Bokhof.
On motion prayer ;of petition was
granted.

Miss Julia Hicks, who is attend

home to spend the fourth of July
vacation.
Automobiling is the order for
Sunday recreation now in this
vicinity, the autos are quite too
common now to pay any attention
to. Bring on your airships.
At the school election here
last Monday Ernest Beaver was
elected treasurer of district No.
16, and N. B. Hatch was elected
moderator, to fill the vacancies
by the resignation of Thomas
Harrison and the expiration of
of A. Kaczor’s term of office.
Dude Harrison is nursing a
sore head as the result of a Head
on collission with VV. Spindler in
a high dive for a long fly ball, in
a game at Meek last Saturday.
We sympathise with Dude but
it takes more than that to wean
a fan from the game, so we ex
pect to see Dude in his usual
place at the next game. Harry
Fox also got a bump on the nose
with the ball while napping dur
ing the same game. You must
keep your lamps on the ball, Har
ry.
A game of ball by two pick
teams with Candy and Baking
Powder Fox, at the head of one
and Chas. Hoyer the oilier, re
sulted in the score of 12 to 2 in
favor of the Hoyer bunch. It
was a one sided game all through
marked with some fast, nifty plays
on one side and errors and bone
head plays on the other. Five
pitchers were tried on the Fox
staff, Fox being the first to be
sent to the dog house, he was
quite foxy for awhile and lasted
until he was bumptedon the nose
then he was supplanted by Spind
ler who fared as bad as Fox only
lasting two rounds, the opponents
making enough runs by that time
to insure them the game. Three
other daubers were tried who
were clouted unmercifully during
the last five innings. Ridgeway
was on the mound for Hoyers
Champs, and was at his best
holding his opponents down to 7
hits, with his thumb on the situat
ion all the time. Hoyer was in
the game all the time wearing the
cage and his throwing to second
was of the big league kind. Ora
Harrison handled the indicator
and to say he was punk is putting
it mild his judgment on ball and
strikes was simply a fright, but
as he was playing with the loos
ing team, there was not much
kick.

Still dry but keep on plowing
corn.
Corn is still holding its own
but needs rain badly
On the evenings of the 24th,
and 25th, of last month lighten
ing struck the prairie several
times setting it on fire. The 24th
it struck about four times east of
the Geo. Reichert’s place, and(the
fire started by it burned a strip
six miles long before it could be
stopped. Another fire was start
ed the same evening on Joe Fes
lers place but was soon put out.
Neither fire done any damage be
yond burning some grass that
was needed for hay. On tlie
25th lightening struck our hog
ipeadow setting fire to it, and a
spot 30 by 20 feet was burned.
A small shower of rain put it out
before it could make head way.
Only a quarter of an inch of rain
fell, but it is the most we have
had at any one one lime during
th6 month, it freshened things up
up a bit, but we need a good big
rain.
