women who ar. growing older,
and it is the only tie that binds
them to the pa.t, and with the
school-day friends of long ago

SETTLEMENTS OF
ESTATES IN THE
COUNTY COURT
In -county court yesterday final
settlement was had in the estate
of John S. Irwin, deceased, of
Liberty precinct, and the admin
istrator, Mrs. John 8. Irwin, the
widow, released from her duties.
The matter of the estate of
James Riley, deceased, was also
settled up by the court. Mi.
Riley, who was unmarried, was
presented with the title to several
lots in this city by his mother,
Mrs. Anna Riley, but he died later
and the lots reverted back to his
mother, who, on her death a few
months ago, gave them to her
son, Hugh Riley, and in order to
make his title good it was neces
sary to probate the estate of
James.
Foggy Weather Still Continues.
The dark, gloomy weather of
the past week has become almost
a fixture in this locality and the
sight of the sun would be a rare
treat. Each afternoon the heavy
fog decends over the city and
makes it very difficult for those
residing off the main streets to
find their way around, so dense
does the fog become at times.
The weather man holds out hopes
that the next few days may bring
a change in the conditions which
will result in better weather for
this portion of Nebraska.
