A cry of (ire attracted a good sized
crowd to the vicinity of C. E. Verity's
barn last Saturday. It appears that
ashes had been deposited in the alley
close to the fence and had burned the
fence and caught into the hay scattered"
about. It was soon extinguished, but
had it not lieen discovered until a few
minutes later, the barn would have been
consumed.
The gang organ continues to charge
every act of the county officials to
Judge Barker. That is all right. If the
people know that Judge Barker is in fav
or of any movement, they will kno v
that it is to the interest of the public to
favor it. When they undertake to prove
anything dishonorable or dishonest in the
actions of that gentleman, they will llnd
they have a big job on their hands.
On last Saturday evening rain began
to fall and it contiuued rainy weather
until Monday afternoon. The result is
that the ground is thorouglil ysoaked and
contains enough moisture to iusure agood
crop of small grain. The farmers are all
happy and a large amount of breaking
will be done during the season. Farm
ing Is being done in earnest in Sioux
county this year and prosperity is bound
to follow,
We are informed that it is being re
ported that the question of herd law has
been taken to the supreme court and de
cided not to be in eirect in Sioux county
and consequently that free range is still
In force. We do not know where any
one gets authority for making such re
ports. Free range is not in existence in
the state of Nebraska. The matter lias
never been taken to the supreme court
No case including that question has ever
been brought in the county so that it
has ever got to the district court, and
that makes it impossible for it to have
reached the supreme court. Herd law
is the law of the state and there is no
way by which this or any other county
could adopt free range if it was desired
so to do. If any such case has been de
cided by the supreme court we should
like to be informal when, where and by
whom it was brought as no such case
appears in the court records of which we
have any knowledge.
If any one tells you that Sioux
county is not productive tell them to
call at The Journal, olfice and see some
products of the soil of Sioux county in
1889. We have some oats measuring
four and a half feet in height, some
blue stem grass nearly four feet in
height, some joint rushes which are
never found except where the ground is
rich, and some potatoes of the Early
Ohio variety which make ones mouth
water to look at them. In addition to
these there is in the collection a sample
of second crop oats which were grown in
1888. The regular crop of oats was cut
and later a second crop came on and ma
tured. These specimens were brought
in by Eli Smith and are good arguments
in favor of the productiveness of our
soil. Last year was considered an un
usually dry year in this locality, but we
did not learn of any wheat being thresh
ed which yielded less than sixteen butih
els per acre and the prospects are that
the crop this season will 1 enormous.
The reports are that everything is look
ing fine and the farmers are happy.
Harried.
Olinokr Hksteh. At the residence of
the bride's parents, at Harrison, Neb.,
on Wednesday evening, Apnl 'i'i, 18U0,
by Rev. J. A. Scamahorn, Mr. George
Olinger and Miss Ida Hustr, both of
Harrison, Neb.
The groom is one of the energetic
young farmers who has made many
friends during his residence here, and the
bride is one of the most estimable
young ladies of this community.
The wedding was a quiet affair, no
guests being present except the relatives
of the contracting parties.
The beat wishes of a large circle of
friends are extended to the young couple
for a loaf and prosperous married life.
Some Opinions.
The following are tlie views of a
i
few
of the tax payers as expressed to THE
Jocrkal on the question of issuing fund
ing bonds, and getting the affairs of
Sioux county on a cash basis: .'
J. O. Morris I believe the issuing of
bonds to be the cheapest and easiest way
to pay the debts of tlie county.
A. W. Mohr favors issuing bonds and
taying off the indebtedness and thus
avoid suits and high taxes.
Eli Smith is opposed to bonds at least
until he ilnds out more about the mat
ter. G. W. Greger I believe we had better
vote the bonds, as that is the best way
to square up the debts of the county. J
Peter Henry I believe it is the only
thing we can do. Exensive suits will
lie brought if the debts of the county are
not paid.
If we have the indebtedness to pay It
is best to bond and be on a cash basis
says James W. Scott. f
"I favor the bonds" remarked ex-Superintendent
Cox, "because it will rth
duce the taxes by putting the county o
a cash basis." 1
John Serres, of Five Points precinct,
wiys he favors the bonds and believe)
they will carry if the grangers turn ou
to the polls.
Andrew Jacobs, of Running Water
precinct, says: "I am in favor of bond
ing the county and paying off the in
debtedness, so as to lower the taxes." i
1). H. Griswold favors bonding tit
county to pay off the outstanding in
debtedness, for the county can be run
chener and the taxes will be corres
pondingly lower, but he thinks 10,00t)
would have been enough. '(
C. H. Weller favors the voting of
bonds, but thinks more time should have,
been given in order that the people,
might vote more intelligently, and ulsO
given time for the collection of deling
quent taxes.
R. Simler favors voting enough to paj$:!
off the actual indebtedness of the county
and no more, as it will make the mteis
est lighter ana leave trie ueui
greater number to pay.
Grant Guthrie is flat-footed for
He wants the credit of the county up
a cash standard.
C. K. Wells favors bonds. It wijftive
thrwmntrr)tr Ttfngri"l east
and bring to eastern capital.
John Bartell favors the issuing of
londs to pay off the Indebtedness, sim
ply to put the county on a cash basis so
that bills against the county will not be
double what they really ought to be.
Court Proceedings.
The following is the disposition of the
cases in the district court not noted in
our last issue:
State vs. Raymond or McNab, contin
ued for arrest.
State vs. Albert Rands, continued.
State vs. David II. Rands, continued.
Shite vs. John D. Campbell, dismissed.
E.Sarles vs. August Ring, continued.
Tollerton & Stetson Co. vs. Rosa &
Thompson, continued.
John Hunt vs. Mary Jane Hunt, con
tinued. Henry Kreman vs. John Shay, dismiss

James Farnum vs. Dunn Bros., trial to
jury; verdict for defendant
Joseph Decker vs. James E. Wallace,
judgment for defendant.
S. L, R. Maine vs. Theodore Trimber,
continued.
C. L. Columbia vs. M. E. Scofield, et
al, dismissed.
Albert E. Gates vs. Sioux county.
Trial to jury; verdict for plaintiff; dam
ages assessed at (40.
Christ Hansen was recognized in the
lower court in the sum of $100 to appear
as a witness in the case against Mary
Shay, and not appearing, the court de
clared the sum forfeited.
In the case of Farnum vs. Dunn Bros.,
W. F. Shepherd was subpaoenaed as a
witness and the court ordered a bench
warrant and an officer sent after him.
When he appeared, the court inquired in
to the matter and finding that he did not
intentionally delay the court, he was let
off by simply paying the expense of
getting him here.
Quite Likely.
Ed. Journal; I feel safe in inferring
that recent articles in the Herald signed
by anonymous and ficticious names are
the productions of an ex-political as
pirant and non-tax payer whose time is
now spent solely in nursing some favor
ite from the canine race and seeking
where he can secure the most food for
the least labor by trespassing upon the
good nature of bis few but indulgent
friends.
If this non tax-paying blood relation
of Annanias would allow persons who
possess property and brains to discuss the
question of bonding the county to pay
off the indebtedness thereof be would
make a great stride toward being the
gsnUsmaa be falli m Ut short of trying
to nontoflt Tax Pvrm
