The Jm-RNAL is a little late this
week on account of the editor having
made a bu nines trip to Chadron.
Dr. Phinny has re-arranged the in
terior of his drug store, adding much to
its appearance and convenience.

Division Superintendent Harris went

H. A. Cunningham, formerly of

Omaha. He is still in charge of the
business.
-It is expected that C. P. Coffee will
arrive at Orin Junction with his Arizona
cattle about the flrxt of next week.
Tliey will lie driven to the 7 box L from
Orin.
-H. T. Merriam was in town Satur
day for the first time in a long while.
He has had much trouble with his right
eye, the sight of which he has lost, but
as it has ceased to pain him he feels re
lieved.
In the hearing over the goods at

The date of the M. E. quarterly
meeting at Pleasant Ridge lias been
postponed two weeks from the date pre
viously announced ami will occur t.n
June 6th and 7th. The program will be
tlte same as published last week.
The article most in demand now in
line of weather is warmth. While the
ground hits not been wet to any great
depth. It is moist enough to keep things
growing if it would but get a little
warmer. It may come out all right in
lime.
A horse which John Daut drove to
town one day the first of the week crea
ted considerable amusement. He got
loose from his mate ami the vehicle to
which he was attached and then at
tempted to "pitch" hard enough to get
his collar olf. His efforts proved futile,
however.
In another column appears the an
nouncement of Co. Supt. Davis of the
teachers' institute. As there was none
held in Sioux county last year, there is
no reason why a good one should not be
held this year, unless it be that so many
of the school miirm have got married
that there is not enough to make a
crowd.
Last Wednesday and Thursday
nights it was so cold that it froze quite
hard. During Thursday it snowed and
hailed but not enough fell here to do
much good or harm. Parties who drove
up from Bell slated that aliout time
inches of snow was encountered be
tween here and Running Water. The
opinion of most of tliose who lave ex
amined the wild fruits seems to be that
they were not injured, It that proves
to lie the case it will be appreciated by
the people for a fine crop of wild fruits
was certain if not destroyed by frost.
- It might l n g'sl plan for the au
thorities to take action to make it so
that peaceable citizens, ladies and busi
ness men may le protected from drunk
en men. A man does not like to have to
defend himself from insult or assault by
such, neither does a business man like to
have his business interfered with and
goods and furniture destroyed, and it is
not very pleasant for ladies who come to
town to do shopping to be compellsd to
dodge men who are too drunk to retlixe
what they ore alioiit. When a maa gets
so drunk that he becomes a public nui
sance he should be taken care of.
A young man by the name of Hill
tackled John Mack in the saloon on Sat
urday and Mack gave him a drubbing.
Later the young man went into Scott's
restaurant and begnn to impose on G. J.
Martin. Jack's good nature finally gave
away and he knocked the stove down
with Hill and choked him and then
threw him out of the door. Later (n the
day 81 ve riff Dartlett inf rmed him that
if be did not get out of town he would
put him In jail and the fellow soon de
parted. It is not likely that lie would
be let off so easily should lie again do as
he did Saturday.
From what can be heard the people
who were called here last week to pro
tect their water rights seem to think the
affair was a good deal of a farce, as all
that was accomplished might have been
done by mail at much less expense and
inconvenience to the parties interested.
They know no more as to their rights
now than they did before. The fact
that the officials who were here had not
sulflcient authority to even administer
an oath to a witness, proves that their
decision on any matter will amount to
little, and the courts will eventually
have to settle all controversies in regard
to water rights.

IturaN to Death.
On last Monday night the neighbors of
A. L. Delaney, who resided a few miles
west of Adelia were attracted by a (Ire
in the direction of his home and on
going to the place they found, that it
was his dwelling house which was
burning. The tire liad made such pro
gress that the roof i'nd walls were about
lo fall in when the llrst arrivals reached
the scene, ho that none dared attempt to
enter. When the building had burned
down the charred remains of the occu
pant were discovered, lying face down
ward among the embers. The supposi
tion was that he had fallen inanepilyptic
fit, to which he was known to have long
been subject, and in falling had over
turned a lighted lamp which set fire to
the dry material and the unfortunate
man was overcome by the fire before he
recovered consciousness, his life thus be
ing ended without pain. A telegram
wus sent to Coroner Phinney notifying
him of the case, and on Tuesday he and
Supt. Davis drove to the place and an in
quest was held and a verdict returned in
accordance with the above facts, of ac
cidental death.
Deceased was a single man about
twenty-eight years old, having no rela
tives in this part of the country. Word
was sent to a relative in another state
as to the disposition of the remains and
instructions were received to bury them
there, which was done, '"elaney hud a
homestead and a few head of cattle, but
probably not much more than enough to
pay the expenses of the inquest and
burial.
Teachers' Insfltnta.
The Sioux county teachers' institute
will be held this year in the court

22 and closes July 8. The attention of
the teachers is called to Sec. 6, Sub-div.

teach during the coming year be in at
tendance at the institute.
