by Charles Lazenby; rather suspi
cious, ain't it? We shall be sorry to
lose Charlie for a neighbor and citi
zen, but will have to submit, as he will
probably go to Colorado within thirty
days. We hope he may be benefited
physically and financially by the
change.
Our usually quiet city was roused
by quite a sensational occurrence. An
employe of Mr. Hatt, the butcher,
dunned a colored gentleman for 80
cents due for meat. The dunning was
repeated several times, the colored
gentleman stating he had no money.
Snyder's pugilistic propensities were
finally aroused and he undertook go
ing through the darkey, who threw
Snyder instead, and finally whipped
out a razor and inflicted a few slight
gashes. The next heard of said color
ed man Mr. Hatt saw him crossing the
R. R. bridge into Sarpy county.

PlatUrnouth,
has moved to Peru, in this state,
where he has some town property.
His health has been very poor and he
desires to recruit that, and also to get
the advantages of the Normal school
located there. The boys run the old
home farm.
Elam Parmele has moved into town
and deals in horses now. He brought
16 head of very fine horses here not
long since, and has disposed of them
all to good advantage and leaves for
another carload this week. "
fsearly or quite two years ago
Streight & Jones, livery men, then in
partnership here, lost a horse by the
hands of a man called Dr. Roberts.
Neither man nor horse were heard
from until last week, when Dick
Streight spotted him at Omaha and
had him arrested and brought down
here. Roberts claims he had to cross
the Platte and sent the horse home
by another man. Dick wants to see
that other man or have Roberts pro
duce the horse, and we guess he'll
have to do it or go to prison. Justice
may be slow, but she's sure, in this
country on horse thieves. . Remem
ber that, boys, when you fasten on
to one end of a halter with a horse at
the other.
FRECKLES
February and March Worst Months
for This Trouble How to
Remove Easily.
There's a reason why nearly every
body freckles in February and March,
but Happily there is also a remedy for
these ugly blemishes, and no one need
stay freckled.
Simply get an ounce of othine,
double strength, from your druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning, and in a few days you should
see that even the worst freckles have
begun to disappear, while the light
ones have vanished entirely. Now is
the time to rid yourself of freckles,
for if not removed now they may
stay all summer, and spoil an other
wise beautiful complexion. Your
monev back if othine fails.
Farm for Sale.
50 acres, 5 miles south of Platts
mouth; ordinary improvements; 40
acres one field and all fall plowed;
running water; good orchard and pas
ture. Terms reasonable. Immediate
possession if taken soon.
