014 Time Tactic.
When tlie old administration was in
power the gang used tlie courts to ass'st
them in carrying on tlieir warfare against
their personal or political enemies and
letting the taxayers of the county pay
the exenses, but it was hoped after the
new officers were seated that such a sys
tem of persecution had come to an end.
But uch does not appear to be tHe case,
for the old gang liave apiarently estab
lished a cost mill in Bodarc precinct,
whence are issued tlie necessai-y papers
to bring eople from other parts of tlie
county to answer to complaints made by
larties with: no other evident purpose
than to cause trouble.
The case began before J. W. Hunter,
justice of the jieace of Bodarc precinct,
against County Attorney Walker to get
county property out of the hands of the
proper custodian, and the termination
thereof lias been given in the columns of
The Jochnal.
On Feb. 20th, 1890, Harrison Merri
fleld filed a complaint in the name of the
state, before J. W. Hunter, charging
Geo. Walker, S. L. R. Maine and John
Thornton with embezzlement. i
Now the statute fixes tlie punishment
for emliezzlement at service in the peni
tentiary from one to twenty-one years.
A crime -punishable in that manner is
certainly a felony, but the complaint
against the defendant above named does
not charge that, the enibezzleing was
done feloniouslv. The adwrb "felo
nious" does not apiear in the complaint
It charges that the defendants emliezlled
funds to the amount of 2,000 on t
10th day of Feb., 1890, in the olllce of
school district No. 7, but does not stale
what funds were misappropriated. The
records will show that Geo. Walker was
not a member of the school board of dis
trict No. 7 at that date. ;
On Monday the defendants were ar
rested by 'Constable Columbia and taken
a dozen miles into the country
ready for trial before Hunter on Tues
day. On Tuesday morning a nunibeftof
witnesses also repaired to Bodarc. ;J

Citizens' Meeting. j
The following is a report of the meet-!
ing of citizens held at tlie store of W. K.
Smith, at Harrison, Neb., on Tuesday
evening, Feb. 4, IH'jO:
Meeting called to order by E. D. Sat-
terlee, and C. E. Holmes elected chair
man, and C. R. Wells secretary.
On motion the chair appointed the fol
lowing committee to select candidates
for memliers of the village board: C. IL
Weller, Thos. Reidy, H. W. Cox, Conrad
Lindeman, C. C. Jameson, who recom
mended the following for village trustees
for the ensuing year: Thos. Reidy, J. C.
Northrop. C. 11. Weller, S. Barker and
C. R. Wells.
On motion the report of the commit
tee was adopted.
On motion S. W. Cox was recommend
ed for village clerk, and C. E. Holmes
was recommended for village treasurer,
for the ensuing year.
On motion the sense of the meeting
was taken as desiring that the board of
trustees.curtuil expanses for the ensuing
year as much as possible.
It was resolved that it is the sentiment
of this meeting that the indebtedness of
the village of Harrison to school district
No. 7 lie cancelled by the construction of
a cistern near the school house and the
tying of a pie thereto.
A motion prevailed that every one
present express his views on the ulxive
resolution and each expressed himself as
in favor of the resolution.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

Word has been received that new
settlers with five car loads of goods will
arrive in Harrison tomorrow morning.
That is certainly a good indication that
a good many new people will come to
this locality this season.
On last Tuesday F, Findley who
lives near Sugar Loaf butte, called at
our olllce and showed us some gold nug
gets which he had picked up in his vicin
ity. Tlie metal had been tested by a
jeweler and said to be of excellent quali
ty. It may be that in the near future
gold in paying quantities will be found
in Sioux county.
Tlie Herald office has again moved
across the fetreet and is now located in
tlie north room of the Bartell building.
Mrs. C. F. Sliwrerland will conduct a
restaurant in the main rooms of the
building. She has had large experience
in the restaurant and confectionery busi
ness and expects to keep a complete as
sortment of everything in that line.
Harrison needs a harness shop and
needs one bad. New settlers are coming
in and those here are preparing for farm
ing operations, and it is a great incon
venience to lie unable to purchase a new
harness or get those they liave repaired
without going to some other town.
Cannot some one induce ao acquaintance
who is a harness maker to come here and
etunure in business?
Last week B. F. Thomas was mak
ing delivery of the first order of "Ston

The hook excels the expectations aroused
by perusal of the prospectus. It is at
one pleasing and instructive, and gives
tlie reader a pretty clear idea of the dan
Ken and triumphs incident to such an
undertaking. The dook sens ai sign,
almost, for its worth is apparent to all.
Mr. Thomas is meeting with excellent
success, his sales already exceeding one

The Bank of Harrison has closed ten
or twelve loans during the past week
and in consequence money is much more
plentiful than it has been for some tune.
Farmers can now be sure of getting
loans as the bank is making all good

cation Is submitted. They loan at
straight ten per cent.
In the report of Mr. Anderson get-
ting injured by jumping from a moving
train recently, The JovrKal was misin
formed as to the medical attendant,
The railroad physician did not come
down to attend him, but his injuries
were treated by Dr. Zicghnliagen, of
Harrison. Mr. Ramp, son-in-law of the
injured man informs us that under the
skillful treatment of Dr. Ziegenhagen
the patient is rapidly recovering.
On last Tuesday evening a few of
the business men gathered at W. R.
Smith's store and fell to discussing the
affairs of the town. It was suggested
that it would be a good plan to have
meeting of all the citizens to discuss the
matter and believing there is no time
like the present, a general roundup was
made and all tlie voters except three,
and a majority of those interested in the
town who are not voters were soon gath
ered in. The fact was soon apparent
that the business men and tax payers
were in favor of no salaries, plenty of
water and every effort being made to
keep down the running expenses of the
town. The work done as reported by the
secretary, appear in another column
The selection made for a board of trus
tees for the ensuing year was a good
one, all the men on the ticket being well
qualified for the place and all have the
advancement of the interests of the town
at heart A number of matters of im
portunce were discussed and good results
are sure to follow.

John W. hunter, J. P,
It will be noticed in the above motion
that the case is asked to be adjourned
until "Thursday, March 6, 188I1." That
is a date on which it will be hard to hold
court, as it is a year past. The motion
does not state that M. Gayhart and other
witnesses are material witnesses in the

of said day." Perhaps some one lias
a time piece which indicates that hour,
but it would be pretty hard to make a
person understand when he was expected
to report in order to be on hand at the
right time,
There were about eighteen witnesses
subpoenaed to appear at the cost mill in
Bodarc precinct to-day,
The result of the matter will be some
thing like this: A large number of men
will hove been taken from their business
to go to the cost mill at Bodarc. The
defendants will have been kept in the
custody of the olllcers and dragged lie
fore the justice a couple of times and
cost bill amounting one or two hundred
dollars ground out which the taxpayers
of the county will lie asked to pay, all
for no other apparent reason than to
ve an opportunity to a man or two to
vent his personal spite.
Tlie question may be asked: How
lone such a system of persecution of
citizens and cost creating actions is to be
continued to the great inconvenience of
the people who are subjected to the suits
brought and the great exjiense win
the county is asked to pay, to continue?
All such proceedings will have the ef
fect of keeping people from corning here
to live and it is to the interest ol an who
have the prosperity of the county at
heart to have all such legal farces
