Office Phone, - 6 on 21 Residence, - - 3 on 21 J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pub Additional Locals, Our band boys held their annual election of officers last Thursday evening, selecting .1. I. l>epew for president. O. E. Adams seeretary treasurer. \V. C. Dieterichs leader. Robt. Pritchard instructor. Cash Pritchard librarian, and J. I. Eepew. O. E. Adams and Robt. Pritchard as directors. The band boys made no mistake along that line this time. We received a very pleasantcall last Friday from our good friend. Hans M. Johnson of Washington township. wl»o since acquiring the old Holy cross place has made it one of the best in the county. Mr. Johnson makes just complaint of the very las methods of making and securing good roads in this county. He likes all else about Sherman county save this alone, and if anything causes him to sell and go elsewhere it will be the depicable condition of the roads. Tiiis is a very general complaint over tiie county and should cause the mer chants of the various towns, especial ly. to sit up and take notice and act also, with a view of making roods on which such grievous views cannot be aired In the matter of the State of Ne braska vs. John Chipps. which came on for preliminary hearing before Judge Smith Tuesday. It appearing to tiie state that important wit nesses for the state had left to avoid service of subpeona's. and that there was not sufficient evidence to justify j the tiling of a complaint and that before the aforesaid witnesses could be brought into court the alleged act complained of would be barred by the Statute of Limitations and the only way in which this could be avoided would be the calling of a special session of the district court. In view of the lack of evidence, the uncertainty of the result and expense of calling an extra session of the district court, the county .attorney dismissed the action. This was the first case coming before County At torney Starr, after < eing inducted into office, and will save to the coun ty quite a goodly amount in costs, !*--ides settling the case in tiie only way it could have possibly ended. At the annual stockholders meet : ir.g of the Loup City State Bank held Friday of last week, former Vice President J. S. Pedler was elected President. John VY. Long. Vice Presi dent and C. C. Carlsen Cashier, the Board of Directors remaining the omi>. namely. W. R. Mellor. E. G. Taylor. S. X. Sweetland. Sam'i Dad idow. J. S. Pedler. John \Y. Long and , C. C Carlsen. The business of this batik has grown to such an extent as iemands tiie entire time of its presi dent and cashier in managing and ; directing its affairs. Mr. Taylor's other business interests are so large as to demand all of his attention, and j it was thought best to have one ictively engaged in the bank as its ; president Mr. Taylor still retains ill of his original holdings of stock and will continue to act as one of the tank's directors as he has in the past. The surplus of the bank was I increased to il7.o00.00. making this trank, including capital and surplus, j the largest and strongest in the | county, while its officers and directors *re among our oldest residents and most influential business men. Mr. A. B. Outhouse lias purchased i.rough Mr. Williams a liberal share •t the stock in the First National ; Hank of this city, and was elected a j hreotorat their annual meeting the | l**th instant. Officers elected for the < tisuing jear are: Ira E. Williams, | president: A. B. Outliouse, vice presi I lent: L. Hansen, cashier, and O. E. Adams, assistant cashier. A. P Cul ley had a>ked to be relieved as presi dent. a right which he has well earned during the past 25 years, and owing to his absence a large portion of the year, his demands were res pected. The addition of Mr. Outhouse to the lank directorate will add very materially to the strength of the institution. Tiie elevation of Mr. Williams to the head of the First National is a recognition of the ex celled manner in which he. who came here a total stranger to our people, has built up and help place it among the leading banking institu tions of this county. The placing of Mr. Louie Hansen as cashier lias been especially pleasing to patrons, as no man in our community has a stronger hold on the trust' of tiie public generally. Mr. Adams, as assistant cashier, has also made good with the people and is proving a v ery efficient strength to the Institution. Scott Haddix. who killed Melvin Butler in 1905, just over the line in Custer county, and was sentenced to 12 years, was granted a New Year pardon by outgoing Gov. Shallen berger.
