A party was given on Miss Mary Fitzgerald at the home of John Warrick Saturday night before her departure for her home at Arcadia. The little 2-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lou Guthrie died last Saturday and was buried Monday in the Mason City cemetery. The Guthrie family have lived on Clear Creek close to Huxley postotlice for a good many years and only moved away in the last year. They have the sympathy of their many friends. You can’t hurt your alfalfa by, discing it. A. F. Kuhn proved this last spring when he double disced about four acres along the road on Clear Creek. The disc cut all the crowns off about two inches below the ground. This piece of alfalfa was the best on the route last year, al though it was very dry for over a month after discing. The new houses of W. T. Chase and Chas. Hatch are ready for the plas terers. Joe McMullen expects to build a milk house in a few days. W. E. Weller had a trained nurse come from Lincoln to take care of his wife, who is very low at this writing—Monday. Later, Mrs. Weller died Tuesday afternoon. Anton Dymac is able to get around the house again after several weeks’ tussle with rheumatism. The past week has been a busy one for the farmers. Fritz Lescliinsky’s school term was out last Friday. Gilbert Emry had his chickens stolen last week, also 10 bushels of corn and other articles, and while passing through a yard west of Clear Creek on his way back from Mason City saw and recognized some of his chickens. He then drove to Litch field and found that some of them had been sold thereby the same party who had his chickens in their yard, so he went to Loup City and got out a search warrant, and in company with Sheriff Williams went to the place where the chickens had been seen, and there found all the stolen goods. The accused party was ar rested and taken to Loup City, who after fixing up matters with the coun ty judge and Mr. Emry, was allowed to return home. It was more on account of the illness of his aunt that he was allowed to get off so easy. He is only about 21 years old and com ing at this time it ought to be a good lesson to him and to others w ho are engaged in the same business. It is with a heart tilled with sad ness that I write this simple word. Goodbye. I cannot say much, I never could:'but I want you all to know I appreciate your kindness to me—the days of hard work you have donated to* fixing the roads and shoveling through the drifts of snow, your offers: of a 'team when mine was tired or sick, and above all the pleasant smiles alid cheerful greetings. These may seem small items to you, but a! carrier’s life is made up of little, tilings. I shall miss you all, especial-1 ly the little faces, and assure you there will always be a warm spot in my heart for the patrons on Route No. 1. You will be surprised to know that the amount of donation work done on the roads by you in the past three years amounts*to $810, at $3 per day, besides the tow nships have spent several hundred dollars each year.

Sowing oats is now in ordertnd the ground is in good condition. Winter wheat looks fair, only on the ridges or places where the high winds of January and February got a good sweep it is most all killed. Frank Casteel has been seeding part of his farm toclover and timothy Roland Goodwin is worse with the mumps. Joe McFadden’s face looks like a full moon now as he has the mumps. Will Garner has built a machine to be run by the wind, which will run the washing machine, churn and some of his blacksmith machinery. Bill is going to “let the wind do the work, do the work, while the women have an easy time.’’ John Peugh erected a new wind mill tower one day last week. Last Friday a prairie tire started from the burning of an old straw stack, about six miles southwest of Wiggle Creek church, and burned over quite an area also a good many tons of hay. “Fire is a good servant, but a bad master.” Seven of the larger pupils of the Wiggle Creek school visited Miss Brock's school last Friday, it being the close of her term, and they report a fine time. Russell Curry took his new bride over to their new home in a new buggy in the new of the moon to com mence life anew, and we knew they would all the time. We are glad to say Mrs. H. W. Brodock is much better. The church has been re-cleaned and the floor oiled. Ernie Bell is treating his buildings to a new coat of paint. Charlie Snyder has his assessors’ book. We presume he will soon be around inquiring what we are worth. Equalization meeting was held at the Wiggle Creek school house Tues day1 evening. The Wiggle Creek literary closed for the season, A pril 2nd. A crowded house listened to a good program, a especially tine recitation being very ably delivered by Miss Eleanor Holmes. There was no debate as the young men on the debate backed out. We have been worried for fear when the older debaters play out there will be debates on Wiggle Creek. —Loois Brix The New Stallion Law House Roll 127, known as the West stallion bill, has passed both houses of the Nebraska legislature and has been approved by Governor Shallen berger. Since it has an emergency clause it becomes effective from and after the first day of April. We are therefore publishing the new law in full for the information of stallion owners and others interested in its workings and enforcement. Section 1.

Blizzard of 36 Years Ago Thirty-six years ago. on the 13th of April, 1873, occurred the great Easter blizzard, so-called, which commenced about 4 o’clock on the afternoon of that Easter Sunday here, and con tinued unabated for three days. It lias been the talk of the oldest inhab itant from that time to this, and many have been the stories told of what has been up to this date unpar alleled in the history of blizzards in this country. A. J. Leach, father of our I). C. Leach of Elm township, now writing a history of Antelope county for the Old Settlers’ Associa tion, and being published in the Oak dale Sentinel, was in Sherman county at the time, engaged in surveying and appraising land, and injects into his history the following short but in teresting account of the scenes en acted on the present site of Loup City, which we copy verbatim from that paper: “The writer at that time was en gaged in surveying and appraising land for the B. & M. R. R. in Sher man county. Nebraska. After the storm was over and the snow melted off sufficiently so that he could re sume work, lie found on the prairie numbers of antelope and deer that had been driven before the wind until becoming exhausted they had lain down and died. Generally these were found lying down with their legs folded up underneath, as if they had lain down to rest, but some were found stretched out at full length, as if they had run until entirely ex hausted and had then fallen. The birds bad many of them already re turned from the South, and great numbers of them perished, especially the larks and robins. Prairie chick ens suffered very severely and were not as numerous afterward. The writer, during the storm was stop ping with a man by the name of Humes, whose house was built in a heavy body of timber about 1 % miles west of the present site of Loup City, Sherman county. The snow did not drift at all in "the timber, excepting at the north side where the drifts were at least fifteen feet deep. Neither did it get very cold, only a few degrees below freezing. “Loup City at that time consisted of about four log houses and two dug outs. J ust after the storm had com menced Captain Mix of the U. S. Army came down the valley of the Middle Loup with his company of eavalrv, hauing been in pursuit of a predatory band of Indians. They encamped under a low. steep bank near the creek, in the southern part of what is now Loud City. This bank at first afforded some shelter, but soon the snow began to cover the wagons and tents, and the soldiers were compelled to seek shelter in the houses and dug-outs. The horses and mules had no shelter whatever and most of them no feed and thirty seven of them perished. Afterward a man by the name of Hayes was employed to haul the carcasses away, which he did by dragging them about a half mile up the creek and dump ing them over a high steep clay bank. It was intended to cover them with earth from the bank, but before this was done a heavy rain melted the snows up the creek: the carcasses were brought down again by high water, and many of them deposited along the bank of the creek within the present limits of the town. This gave It the name “Dead Horse” and it is known as such to this day. “These last incidents are related, not because they belong to the his tory of Antelope county, for they do not, but because they give the writ er’s experiences in the same storm that swept over all Nebraska, and that was especially severe in the cen tral and northern parts of the state. Some of the snowdrifts formed durc ing this storm did not entirely melt away until the next June.” G Tlie Season for All Kinds of Farm Tools Is here. Our stock is more complete than ever before.
