ham sold two sections of land that he

land that far from town.

William Cronin sold his farm the
first of the week to W. Miller, of
Leigh, Nebr., for $80 per acre or $32,
000 for the 400 acres. This land is
located five and a half miles north of
this city and is a fairly well im
proved farm. One of the quarters in
this farm was purchased by Mr.
Cronin fifteen years ago for $700; he
received $12,800 for this same quarter
the first of the week which shows how
the value of Holt county real estate
has increased during the past few
years.
A. F. Souser, who lives seven miles
northwest of this city, sold his farm
the latter part of last week for $135
an acre, receiving $48,020 for his real
estate holdings here. Mr. Souser is
to give possession the first of next
March, Mr. Souser had one of the
finest improved farms in the county

land some eight years ago and received
a nice increase on his investment, be
sides receiving eight good crops from
the land.

and thirteen days old at the time of
her death. The funeral was hald last

ces in their hour of sorrow.

Lincoln, and two assistants, arrived in
the city last Monday and are now sur
veying the road a mile west of the

Butte federal and state aid road. The
road a half mile east of this city and
the road a mile west, along the west
side of the cemetery, have already
been surveyed and the survey is now
being run on the line a mile west of
the cemetery. After this survey is
completed the road will probably be
permanently located on one of the
three surveys.
Word was received the firlt of the
week that George W. Trigg died in a
hospital at Spokane, Washington, last
Sunday. George Trigg was for over
a quarter of a century a resident of
this city but left here some eight or ten
years ago for the west and has since
made his home in Oregon and Wash
ington. George was a carpenter by
trade, and a good one, and was work
ing in the ship yards on the coast last
summer when the scaffolding gave
way giving him a nasty fall in which
he sustained a fractured leg. He was
sent to a hospital but the fracture did
not seem to heal and gangrene set in
and another operation was necessary.
He never fully recovered from the
second operation and passed away the
first of the week. George had many
friends in this city and county who
will regret to learn of his death.
C. M. Daly reports the sale through
his office to bona fide buyers and non
optional tales, the A. F. Souser farm
northwest of O'Neill and the Duhaime
farm in the same locality, as well as
closing a deal on the William Cronin
400 acre farm. He has also pur
chased for himself the Graham 320
acres, located about six miles north
west of town and has also bought the
Charles Morgan ranch south of Red
Bird. The sale price on the land that
Mr. Daly reports has ranged from
$65 to $135 per acre. Mr. Souser’s
home place selling for $135 per acre.
These buyers seem to be very favor
ably impressed with the land that
they have bought and while the loss
of some of these valuable citizens
who may leave us is felt, still we are
informed that they are being replaced
by very substantial and reputable
farmers.
