But they had a sleighride, just the same. Rev Shallcross of Omaha occupied the Presbyterian pulpit again last Sunday at both services, owing to the illness of the pastor. Mr. Shallcross was a convert at the recent Torrey meetings at Omaha, and has only been preparing himself for the minis try since that time, but one would hardly be convinced of his short preparation for that work, when one considers the most excellent discourses he rave. Another Ashton Episode. Lee Dobson came to Loup City from Ashton yesterday morning and filed information before the county attor. ney against the Galczenski boys on a charge of assault and battery. Dobson has the appearance of one who has been up against a hard proposition, the front of his physi ognomy being badly bruised and dis figured. The story of the disturbance as we learn it is to the effect that Dobson and Bob Szwanek were hav ing a financial discussion over the payment of a note or account due from Dobson to Szwanek, when Gal czinskl, the senior, chipped in, much to the dissatisfaction of Dobson afore said, who suggested the proper tiling for Galczinski to do was to close the opening in his face, as he was not supposed to be in the game. Whereat Galczenski's youngest son planted a bar of iron where it would make the most noticeable impression on the frontal of Dobson’s head piece, and when the latter sought the mat, both of the Galczenski boys played a game over the prostrate body, which was not physically pleasing to said Dobson. The hearing, we understand, will take place today. YY hose Runaway Team Is It? Last Saturday, a team was brought to town from nine miles northeast that had been found entangled in a wire fence, both horses being badly cut and injured by the barbs. They had been in a runaway, evidently. The horses were left at the Round Front barn, but up to the present time no trace of the owners can be found, although neighboring towns have been phoned to obtain that re sult. The theory seems to be that the team was being driven by a couple of strangers who were up in that sec tion selling cheap watches and other stuff to farmers and that when their team ran away, concluded not to hunt them up but get out of the country before the people got on to the fraud ulent work they were doing. It is said one farmer bought some $45 worth of watches of them, paying $15 for watches worth from $1 to $3 apiece, and other farmers hereabouts were just about as easy, and having fleeced victims till they had secured coin galore, and tne team engaged in the runaway, took French leave of every thing. Will Engle Badly Injured. While cultivating with a walking plow on his farm last Thursday, Will Engle was quite severely injured. It seems the horses became frightened and ran away, Will’s right leg being caught in the lines and he was dragged some eighty rods before be coming disengaged, resulting in his right knee being badly hurt. Latest reports from his home, however, states he is already able to be up and acout the house and recovering as speedily as the nature of his injuries will allow. Judge Wall Injured in Runaway While driving home from Litchfield last Sunday, and when some two miles this side of that town, the team ran into a guy wire attached to a telephone pole, throwing the judge from the buggy and injuring him severely. The team becoming en tangled in the wire and brush, Judge Wall managed to secure them with out further damage. He is recover ing his injuries nicely. The Wagner-Thomas Musicale. The concert given at the Presby terian church on Tuesday evening of this week was by far the most ex cellent given in this city during the past number of years. Mrs. Wagner Thomas has a pure, high soprano voice of wonderful flexibility, the tones ranging from the higher to the lower with an ease, sweetness and perfect ness not often heard even in the higher operas. Prof. Karl Petersen, her accompanist, who is a fine teacher of vocal and instrumental music, with a studio in Omaha, is an excellent musician, and the perfectness of his work was equally well received, and gave every evidence that he is a master of the musical art. A fine audience greeted them and were very responsive, the calls for encores fol lowing each and every song. Yester day afternoon, from 3 to 4 o’clock, Mrs. Wagner- Thomas and Prof. Pe tersen kindly gave a few musical num bers at the church to perhaps twenty of our music-loving people, and at the close personally meeting with and re ceiving warmest praise from those present over the most excellent music rendered. They gave a concert at Arcadia last evening. I will take ice con tracts at any old time. Got pier ty. Yours for business. J. W. Conger. M. H. Mead suffered another of his serious attacks last Sunday night and again Tuesday night, but is better at present. Miss Ora Whitaker, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. G. W. Colli priest, left for her home in Indian Territory today. While working on the telephone line near Chas. Swaderer’s last Mon day, a wire become disengaged, and striking one of his horses, caused them to run away. No damage. The subject of the morning dis course at the M. E. church next Sun day will be, “Hedges and Serpents.” At 8 p. m. the Epworth League will hold a special service. The public is cordially invited to these services. FARM IMPLEMENT ...SALE...

ALL KINDS OF GRASS, FIELD AND GARDEN SEEDS AT OUR STORE Costly Fire at Ashton. A costly fire at Ashton, last Sun day night, or rather about four o’clock Monday morning, consumed the bank building, Galczenski’s general mer chandise store, Dr. Wanek’s drug store and a barbershop, all four build ings, with almost the entire contents, were lost. The fire seems to have started between two of the buildings, and whether it was the work of an incendiary or started from a cigar stub which had smouldered for hours before getting in its work, is hard to determine. We understand all the buildings had fair insurance on them. Breeders will be interested in know ing that Basco B. will be found Mon days and Tuesdays at the St. Elmo barn in Loup City, on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the farm of G. A. Curry, the owner, eight miles south and one and one-half miles west of Loup City, and on Fridays and Saturdays at the Bound front barn in Litchfield. Bear in mind the times and places. There was a potato famine in Loup City last week, and a local scientist explains that the earthquake phe nomena here was due to the vigorous kick over the lack of spuds. Notice To The Public by W. P.
