I Wo are glad to receive two good com- I municnlions from new correspondents this week. I Wm. Norrish gave a fine dance to a ' mimbf.r of his friend in the valley last j Sunday evening. The Norman-Morgan stallion owned bV John L. ICiy was on exhibition hore j one day last week. ' Very little interest was taken in the j villago election Monday, only twenty- three votes lK;ing cast. Mrs. E. B. Graham came up from the ! ranch and was the guest of Mrs. Weir and Mrs. Bassett Tuesday. W. R, Smitli sold $148.00 worth of goods to Coffee Bros. , Tuesday. Smitl has a good stock of fresh new goods and is having a nice trade. ' The first land office change in Nebras ka was made last Tuesday. James M, Kelly was appointed receiver of the Bloomington land office. Our esteemed friend Mrs. Bassett drove a team . and double wagon t up from (JfordoriTGCeiitlv. " When it comes to energy and pluck Mrs. Bassett is a prize laker. Mr. Chas. Lauder, a friend of Mr. Ia dor Richstein, came from Stanton last Saturday. Mr. Lander is' well pleased with the country and has located over in the valley. E. H. Salisbury has moved his family to Crawford where he has secured a job fit his trade of tinner. We trust Mr. Salisbury will eventually return to Sioux county as he is a good citizen. ' . . Mr. Arthur Burta arrived from Kansas City Tuesday. Mr. Barta's mother and wo brotliers are located at, the h';ad of Whistle Creek and he will spend tlie summer in Sioux county with them. A three year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Jehu Messing of Indian creek was stand ing by the stove Monday when Mrs. Messing accidently spilled some hot wa ter scalding the little one's feet quite severely. Mr. C. A. Crihfleld of Dawes county was in Harrison last Week and leased a part of a school section near the eastern edge of Sioux county; west of Crawford. He intends moving thereon this summer. He left two dollars for the Journal a year. If the "voice from Running Water" who contributes to the Herald occasion ally would take a large dose of castor oil crosswise it might reliove him some from his terrible "fine clothes" argu ment which seems to have taken refuge in the region of iiis thorax. Alliert Taylor, the restaurant man, has for several weeks past been possess ed of an irresistible desire to be the proud slayer of an antelope, but his many efforts had been fntile until just a few days ago, when he succeeded in shooting a large buck. Ilig sleep now is more easy and restful) his form more towering and his step more elastic. By the operation of a new law passed by the late legislature, school elections occur now on the last Monday in June, and old officers will hold over until that time. The elections formerly occured on the first Monday in April. The law is now in effect and those districts which held elections bust Monday did1 so illegal ly and will have to hold another elec tion at the proper time. W. A, Nelson's bronchos got away from him while he was plowing with them Tuesday and succeeded in cutting themsoivos considerably on a wire fence. They also succeeded in casting a very dark shadow on Mr. Nelson's reputation as a "broncho buster," However,' we have Mr. Nelson's word" for it that the few cursory remarks he made ou (hat occasion were mild under the tircura B tauten, f The Herald Lawyer Agaiu ip civKif lril 1umin:iri of i lie I4erftld published another law article last week. The article is nearly a column in length, t in fine type, and contains the nrinci- td sections of a bill in reference to wa tfr rights. The article was introduced itlt the statement that the law is of ipterest to Sioux County. The very (Jrst section of the bill contains the state ment "that in all streams not more than ty feet in width, the rights of riparian opnetors are not aiiectea ny me provis ions of this act." As there are no iireams "more than fifty feet in width" Sioux county it is difficult to see how Uie law in the language pf the Herald 'would be applicable to Sionx county." (hawley, as a newspaper man you fre ttoently make us ashamed, but as a If wyer you always make us tired. Af tr all, dear boy, you are not a success it any known capacity not even as ifaauipulutor of the mouthpiece of the roMier gang you are not even a good rascal in spite of your strenuous efforts to be one and the numerous pointers you gel from your villianous associates. Boggy Chat. 1 Still they come. There are several land seekers looking for farms in our midst. Come on, there is room for More. Three loads of lumber passed down Hat Creek for Short Brunch, Dakota. Mrs. Tibbits is on the sick list. ''Mr. Watson and wife are still sick, i T. Holly-complains of rheumatism. ' Montrose is looming up. Myers is buildinir a luriro shop. Mr. Jordan is hduling lumber for a house. He has a (ie barn across the creek opposite the sUire. Cayharts' have a well supplied siore, and have a big trade. There is rushing on Boggy now since the mil) has got in there and Kendall lunans business, you bet. iAruiL Fool: School district No. 9. school meeting on Monday elected P. Bbun;tt moderator for the ensuing year, h'iw the State Superintendent says July is the time to square up and elect olficers. Wild West. being nRi-'v higher tt.-n equally gofrJ iiui valuable horses, it was asrsil that the clerk communicate with vm assessor and report result at the next meeting.

What is the mailer in having a herd I the valuation of f-'iO, it law ball on the Fourlhr The free rang- j easu value, aim mucu ershaionea.idtheuxoUo on the wa i ' at the free range but! read: "Stand by us and we will stand by you." They ought to have had '-Use our cattle well and let them eat you out; then we will drive you out." That at. least lias been their motto. Farmers around here are putting in wheat and plowing for oats but they do wish the 1st of July was here. They are all happy over the herd law and re joice at the way the Journal has fought for their rights. There is a large immigration in here this spring of good actual settlers. So our county booms. So light manfully onward, Journal, and accept the tlianks of many. If acceptable I will give you more news next time. Old Coo.n. Dry Antelope Items. ,Mr. Etis Salisbury and family has de purted for Crawford for the summer. Mr Wm. Brooks and John A. Pratt went to CriiwTbrd Vrith1iin".'"""" - ---'v- The dance at John A. Pratt's was well attended, there being; 27 numbers out. Everybody enjoyed themselves and par took of a splendid supper. Mr. J. W. Langdou has dug a well and got plenty of "Adam's ale." Langdoti and Pratt will go to tearing up the earth and farming as there will be no range cattle to destroy their crops after the first of July. Hurrah for herd law I Wide Awake. Far Sale Pure Millet seed at W. R. Smith's. Winford T. Moore, who was here from Ansley some time ago and took a claim, arrived with his family Friday. He was accompanied by his brother, Will Moore, and his brother-in-law, Lewis Myers, and also Chas. Fisher. All have families except Mr. Fisher who is single. ''Mr. John Corbin who recently came here IYom Illinois and took a pre-emption south of town and a tree claim southeast of town, is now building a house on his pre-emption. He expects to move his family here soon and also expects other families, former neighbors of his, to come to Sioux county to locate! 1 Point Look Out. I see the rooster flapping his wings and crowing for herd law in a recent Journal. It is a God send for the far mers around here. I lost last year 150 bu. of corn and most all the garden truck I had. The free range element is doing all they can to stop settlement. One would-be ranch-man who runs the J. T. ranch, as he calls it, with 18 head of two year old heifers that "belong to his father, is trying to get in his dirty work on a cood actual settler that is trying to make a home for liimself. This settler built himself a house and was living in it there on his claim, then Mr. "Would Be" skipped out and entered a filing on the same claim, for his father, who has had a con test on a homestead alongside of Mr. Would Be and thereby holding the land from actual settlement, but our settler is one that c'ume to stay and is not afraid of the shotgun law that has pre vailed heretofore and we poor grangers intend to stav hv him. I am not an ad vocate of nny rash means but I think i) society ought to bo formed for protec tion against tho shotgun element and likewise the salary grabbers, and those who sanction the robbery that is going on at the county sc;t. We give Mr. Walker great praise for exposing the ring. Go alxut Pry. Walker, keep the ball a rolling". Commissioners' Proceedings. Monday, March 25, 1889.
