T. C. Chamberlain,
Thomas Burton,
John Mathewson,
Committee,
Now, that all parties in Sherman
county have made their nomina
tions, forked political lightning may
be expected to strike in all direc
tions.
Talking to an old-line democrat,
the other day, he said, “I wras born
a democrat, have always voted that
ticket, and am still a democrat, but
am not the of Wall street-Rill-Parker
kind, and am heartily sick of fusion
as w’ell, so I am going to vote this
fall for Roosevelt and Unole Joe,
and for Uncle Joe especially because
he settles every cast* that comes be
fore him out of court, if possible,
and that’s my kind of a county at
torney.” That’s pretty good rea
soning from a taxpayer’s standpoint,
ain’t it.
Every voter who believes in the
honesty and righntness of Theodore
Rooseyelt’s position in regard to the
evils which menace this country,
such as Wall street domination, the
trusts, the meat combine, railroad
mergers, etc., should vote for Re
publican legislators and congress,
men to strengthen the Roosevelt
arm. It is no question of doubt
that Roosevelt must owe his election
almost wholly to the common peo
ple, whose candidate he is, nor any
greater doubt that the almost com
bined corporate power of'the trusts,
combines and great Wall street in
terests will try to encompass his de
feat. \ oter, party or no party, wheifi
will you stand?

lowing stock and property on my farm,

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY
Three Young Men Shot While
Invading an Orchard.
A bad shooting affair occurred in
Bristol township, this county, Mon
day of this week, just across the
river from Rockville. The circum
stances are about as fol low’s, as
near as we can ascertain. While
Lisle Holmes, son of Geo. Holmes,
a respected citizen of that township,
together with two companions,
Frank Meyer, of the same townhip,
and Harry Jungle of Buffalo coun
ty, were passing the farm of Frank
Cook, another highly respected citi
zen of Bristol township, they left
their threshing rig and wrent into
the Cook orchard to help themselves
to apples. Just what occurreed at
this time conflicting stories are told,
but the facts admitted are that Mrs.
Cook fired two loads of shot at them,
each one of the boys receiving a
portion of the contents, Holmes and
Meyer being only slightly injured,
while Jungle was seriously wound
ed, the extent of his injuries yet to
be ascertained. Mr. and Mrs. Cook
and Mr. Holmes, father of the boy,
were iu Loup City, Tuesday, in con
sultation w’ith County Attorney
Pedler and legal counsel, resulting
in a mutual agreement, as we under
stand, to await the result of the
Jungle boy’s injuries, before action,
if any, may be brought, and letting
Jungle, he being the most injuied,
bring that suit. Mrs. Cook was
here ready to give herself up, but
insists she only shot to scare the
boys, and did so because of con
stant aggravation from unwelcome
visitations to their orchard. Mr.
Holmes feels keenly the trouble and
is not inclined to let the matter rest.
It is a very unfortunate affair, and as
all concerned are neighbors and are
most respected citizens of their sec
tion of the country, wre trust they
may amicably settle this matter
out of court and save the taxpayers
of the county and themselves the
great expense of such a proceeding
and the consequent ill-feelings en
gendered which time cannot heal.
If you vote the Republican ticket
etiaight this fall you can make no
mistake for Rooseveltism is the
watchword.
