On last Saturday John Coffee re
turned from his trip to Texas. He
talked all the time before he left that he
was going to see his mother, as the
mother in Texas was all the mother
he had in this world, and here he comes
Isick and brings a bride with him. It

Owing to the sickness of his child
Attorney Fisher was called east a few
Jays ago and the ca.se of the contest on
the commissioner had to lie continued,
A. T. Clark came up from Chadron (he
last of the week and arranged for the
eonlinuance on behalf of Mr. Fisher.
Mr. Clark recently came from the cast
in search of a location and has lieen mak
ing his headquarters at Chadron, und we
ire informed that he has decided to come
to Harrison and engage in the practice
of law. As it is at present there cannot
lie a law suit without one of the parties
going out of the county for an attorney,
is Mr. Conley is the only resident law
yer. With two attorneys there will be
some show for litigation.
"It is given out quietly that the F.
E. & M. V. has surveyed the ground for
a new round house at this place to con
tain twenty-four stalls. If the rumor
proves to lie true it means that the road
ntends building west from Casper this
season. It is known that John Berry
has made several trips through western
Wyoming during the past year, and that
he has just returned from one of these
trips, but whether he was scenting out a
trail through the South Pass or was
looking for an entrance to Yellowstone
Park no one knows except John and
the lioard of directors, and they wont
tell until the iron and bridge timbers are
well on their way to Wyoming." Chad

The water famine which prevailed
here for some days on account of the
pump having got out of order came to
;in end on Monday by the use of a little
ingenuity. It seems that a valve had
got out of shape somewhat and as soon
as that defect was overcome all ran
smoothly. The repairs ordered some
time ago can now lie kept as a reserve,
but the lioUKe which wus so long getting
twuke enough to Understand a plain or
der ought not lie paid until the goods are
put to use. There was no reason for
any delay unless the wople who handle
the goods In the factory were all Cele
brating so much that they were unlit to
attend to business. It Is hoped that no
such trouble will ngnin occur.
