- It is reported that the suit which
was instituted In the district court, to
compd the railroad to put in a crossing
on their right of way in White Hiver
precinct has lieen settled ami the cross
ing put in, the roail district furnishing
the material and the railroad company

for all parties than for an action to have
lieen brought liefore the state Ixiard of
IransiKirtatlon, where it would he hung

with less delay iind expense than would
result from bringing suit to coniiel the

little more to light u case than not but
it costs the other people considerable to
maintain an action.

growing out of that institution. It was
iifged by Home w hen the application for

missioners might Is-ttur take the money

along, nnd while people kick and roar
nlsuit it, the nuthorities are wiwerless,
for the reason that wluhi ninny seem to
know something of the place none can l
found who have the courage to furnish
information on which prow-culion can

In Dawes county a young man by
the name of Martin pleaded, guilty to a
charge of rustling and was given a year

THE LAND OF THE HOMESTEADER.
Free Homes for Mors
Than 5,000 Men.
A new county with
schools, churches,
. railroads, etc.,
AND 8oo,ooo ACRES YET
OPEN TO HOMESTEAD
ENTRY.
Contains over forty-five miles of
rail oad and has no county
bonds.
Sioux county is the northwest county
of Nebraska. It is about thirty miles
east mid west by about seventy miles
north and south and contains
OVER 1,300,000 ACRES
of land. There are more bright,, spark
ling, small streams ill the county than
can be found in the same area elsewhere
in tin: state. It has more pine timlier in
it than all the rest, of the statecombiiied
Its grasses are the richest and most nu
tritious known so that for stock-growing
it is unexcelled.
Tht: soil varies from a ieavy 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, ihe wheat, oats
rye and barley are al! of unusually Hue
quality and commai.d the highest mar
ket prices.
I'oe water is pure and refreshing and
is found in abundance in all parts of the
county.
Thecoiinly is practically out of debt
and has over forty-live miles of railroad
w itliin its borders, has a good brick court
house and the necessary fi:.tui'cs for run
ning the county ami thero has never
been one dollar of county bonds is.su. sed
and hence taxes will be low.
The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri
Valley railroad crosses Sioux county
from east to west and the I!. & M. has
about .l teen miles ol its line in the
northeast part of the county. .
The climate is more pleasant than that
of the eastern portion of Nebraska.
There is still
OVER 800,000 ACRES
of land in Sioux county yet open to
homestead entry. It is belter land and
more desirably located than that for
which such rushes are made on the open
ing ol a reservation. mere is no rail
road land in the county and for that
reason its settlement bus been slow for
no special tllort to get settlers was
made, as w as donu in the early days of
the settlement of the eastern part of the
state.
Good deeded land can be purchased sit
reasonable rates with government land
unjoining so that a person who wants
more than one quarter sect ion can obtain
it if he has a little means.
There are about 1 ,500 jieoplo in the
'omity and there is room lor thousands
more.
Ilarri '.on is the county seat nnd is sit
uated on the F. E. & M. V. railroad, and
is as good a town as the thinly settled
count rv demands.
School houses and hurdles are pro
vided in almost every settlement, and are
kept up with the times.
All who desire to get a homes! end or
buy land cheap are invited to come nnd
see the country for themselves and judge
of its merits. Homesteads will not Ik;
obtainable iiiui'h longer and if oil waul
to use your right and 'get 1(10 acres of
land from Uncle Sam free it is time you
