. A man bv the name of Barker of
Crawford was convicted of perjury on
five counts in the district court at
Chadron last week.
Royce Teliliet fell from a load of
wood on Saturday and the hind wheel of
the wagon passed over his fool, hut lor
tunntely in such manner as to only
bruise it.
Mrs, J. II. Montgomery is reported
to be no Itetter and plans are lieing con
sidered for sending her to Omaha for
treatment. For more than three
months the lady has U'en confined to her
lied and there appear to he no prosiect
of improvement unless she can get to a
hospital. She has many friends here
who hope for her recovery,
It was found on examination that
one of Henry Hdlebrand's feet was so
Uidly frozen that a rtion of it would
have to lie ninputAted. I ir. Meridith
ciime up from Crawford on Saturday and
iiHA'sled lr. I'hinnev perform the opera
tion. Enough was left of the foot to
enable the man to get around on it as
kooii as it shall have healed, and at last
account was doing well.
J. B. Bradley was up from Boda ra
the first of the week and in speaking of
the matter expressed himself as very
much opposed to any attempt to change
the stock laws. He has always lieen a
very strong advocate of herd law nnU he
does not consider that thu camhtions
existing at this time call for a change.
He contends that free range would Is;
detrimental to the county, allowing the,
owners of I irg! herd i to run out the
ow ners ol small herds.
C, F. Coiree was at Lusk tlie last of
the week on business conne.-ted with the
arrest of a rustler. I.on Wilson was
arrested on a charge of having killed a
steer belonging to Colfee. He waived
examination and gave Isind to uppenr nt
the district court. He was at once ar
rested on a charge of killing a CY steer
and taken to Douglass and not lieing
able to give bond was placed in jail. It
looks aji if a general round-up of cattle
thieves was going on and if it is kept up
honest people will have a little show.
For the information of those to
whom a great roar has been mndu about
the taxes of the writer, and for the bene
llt of those who liuve been making the
roar we will slate that our delinquent
jiersonal taxes are paid and now if some
of those w ho have lieen so exerci:d over
the matter will clear up their own rec
ord they wilt improve the financial con
dition of the county. The attempt to
make out that some teople "stand in-'
willi the county treasurer falls flat
when the fact are known, for the friends
of that ollicial have been called on to
pay up and have rescinded. If some
people devoted as much energy in an ef
fort to build themselves up as they do in
attempting to tear others down they
might reach a higher moral level than
they now occupy.
F.lsewhere in this issu appear a list
of the premiums awarded at the county
fair. As to what tho premiums will be
the secretary is unable to say. There is
a small amount of money in the hands
of the treasurer but it would be insigni
cant if divided among no many, and in
uuy event tho matter will not bo acted
Uhmi until the annual meeting in Janu
ary, It is understood that many of
those to whom uward were made ex
pect nothing, as they simply desired to
helo the enterprise along. Now that a
Mart has lieen made there is no reason
why better fairs cannot Is) held each
year. Thu writer has long advocated
holding a fair each year and it afforded
him much satisfaction to see the at
tempt made. The annual meeting will
have the electing of new ollicers and tho
writer hopes that a secretary, at least,
will be selected who will have more
time to devote to the work than the one
fleeted ut the last regular meeting.

L, T. POOLE, AkriH,
Marsland, Nob,
Sioux county is the northwest county
of Nebraska. It is about thirty miles
east and west by about seventy miles
nortli and south and contains
OVER 1,300.000 ACRES
of land. There are more bright, spark
ling, small streams in the county than
can lie found in the same area elsewhere
in tle state. It has more pine timber in
it than all the rest of the state combined
Its grasses are the richest and most nu
tritious known so that for stock-growing
it is unexcelled.
Tho soil varies from a heavy clay to a
light sandy loam and is capable of pro
ducing excellent crops.
The principal crops are small grain
and vegetables, although good corn is
grown in the valleys. The wheat, oats
rye and barley are all of unusually fine
quality and command tlie highest mar
ket prices.
The water is pure nnd refreshing and
is found in abundance in all parts of the
county.
The county is practically out of debt
and has over forty-five miles of railroad
within its liorders, has a good brick court
house and the necessary lixtures for run
ning the county and thero has never
been one dollar of county bonds issused
and hence taxes will be low.
The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railroad crosses Sioux county
from east to west and the B. & M. has
about fcfteen miles of its line in the
northeast part of the county.
The climate is more pleasant than that
of the eastern )ortion of Nebraska.
There is still
OVER 600,000 ACRES
of land in Sioux county yet open to
homestead entry. ,lt is better land and
more desirably located than that for
which such rushes are made on the open
ing of a reservation. There is no rail
road land in the county and for that
reason its settlement has been slow for
special effort to get settlers was
mnde, as was done in the early days of
the settlement of the eastern part of the
state.
(Jood deeded land can be purchased at
reasonable rates with government land
idjoining so that a person who wants
more than one quarter section can obtain
it if he has a little means.
There are about 1,500 people in the
county and there is room for thousands
more.
Harri ;on is the county seat and is sit
uated on thu F. E. & M. V. railroad, and
is as good a town as the thinly selthwl
country demands.
School houses and churches are pro
vided in almost every settlement and are
kept up with the times.
All who desire to get a homestead or
buy land cheap are invited to come and
see the country for themselves and judge
of its merits. Homesteads will not lie
obtainable much longer and if you want
to use your right and get 100 acres of
land from Uncle Sam free it is time you
were about it.
