11. H. Russell and J. W. Robinson
were in town Saturday and both stated
that their sheep were doing finely.
There is no kind of stock that will pay
the farmers of Sioux county better than
sheep,
In speaking of
of the coroner's
the of the verdict
jury in the kill-
ing near Lusk which was mentioned in
these columns last week, the Lusk Her
ald said that it was "murder in self
defense." That is a new way of
putting it.
TUB Journal is informed that the
old calaboose building is the property of
the county and so the town board has no
jurisdiction over it. The county com
missioners might use the material in it
to construct a walk along the lots be
longing to the county. That would be
better than to leave it where it is.
Superintendent Harris read The
Journal Friday evening and Saturday
morning he issued an order by telegraph
instructing conductors not to allow the
Main street crossing at this place to be
blocked by trains for more than five
minutes at any time. The people' living
south of the track will appreciate that
order.
Will Phillips, having completed a
house on his homestead, left for Seward
county on Saturday evening. He in
tended to stay here until harvest, but
the wheat he had put in down there got
dried out so badly that it had to be
plowed up and the ground planted to
corn and he had to go back and culti

W. L. Baldwin left for his home at

tion of land a few miles south of town
and will soon become a .resident. His
step-son, W. T. Jones, who was here a
few weeks ago will be here in a week or
so to live. All will be made welcome;.
f Tuesday was Decoration Day. The
observance of the day here were the ex
ercises by the school in the morning.
An effort should be made in future to
have fitting observation of the day
made. Of all the days of the year there
is not one whose mission is of more im
portance to the nation than the one set
apart to commemorate the patriotism of
those who offered their lives to perpet
uate the nation.
A soon as the school district gets
the money from G. Guthrie which the
district court has ordered him to pay
over to the board, a part of it may be
taken and the bonds paid off and the
taxpayers will have no more interest to
pay. With the bonds paid off and some
money in the treasury at the end of the
school year the district will be in excel
lent shape to make plans for the future.
A progressive policy should be adopted,
as good schools do much to help build
up a town.
It seems tliat there was more in the
scheme which was so nicely worked at
the last village election than appeared at
the time. The applicant for a saloon
license paid his $500 to Q. Guthrie,
whom the village board had appointed
village treasurer and his license was
granted as asked, for. Under the con
stitution of Nebraska & such license
money goes into the school fund and the
school board called on the village treas
urer for the amouqt- Mr. Guthrie re
fused to turn the money over and an
application was made in the district
court for a writ of mandamus to. compel
him to do so.. An alternative writ was
issued, citing Mr. Guthrie to appear at
Chadron pn May 31st to show cause why
said writ should not be made pre-emp
tory. He did so by his attorney but the
court did not see any reasonable defense
lis Bet up and t'18 Writ was, made pre
einptory as prayed for and the funds
Will have to be turned over to the school
board as they should have been, It is
Very nice to have such little schemes
worked, Mr. Guthrie will have his at
torney and the court costs to pay for the
fun he got out pf it and the taxpayers of
the school district will have tv pay the
post of an attorney for eonduvlinjr the
suit to collect what was its pwn. It
looks very much as if the whole matter
Was a conspiracy concocted by the prime
movers in the village election scheme, it

r Breaking is the order of the day
among the farmers now. All the new
settlers and many of the older residents
are turning over the sod so that the
acreage next year will be greatly increas
ed over what has ever been known in
Sioux county. That means prosperity
to all.
The B. & M. ran an excursion to
Sheridan, Wyo., last week, the fare from
Lincolivfor the round trip, having been
$10. A great many people took advan
tade of the opportunity to visit that
place. Why could not' the Elkhoiw be
induced to snake an excursion rate to the
northwest part of Nebraska? A low
rate of fare from the eastern part of the
state to this part, where homesteads and
cheap farms can be had, if well adveiv
tised, would attract a large number of
home-seekers and many new settlers
would be secured to help develop this
part of the state. If a good strong ef
fort was made such an excursion might
be arranged for.

thereafter until October 81, 1893, round
