Little Roy Kennedy, aged seven,
while playing near Mr. Rarkley's resi
dence on Saturday fell through the
ice in Crooked creek, and almost
drewned before help arrived.
During the freshet last spring, the
water washed out a deep hole at that
point in the creek, and the ice being
comparatively thin the little fellow
fell through. He was playing with
some other little children at the time,
who quickly gave the alarm but not
until the little chap had gone down
twice. As he was going down the
last time one of Mr. Rarkley's boys
had an ice hook and finally pulled
him out. By that time aid had ar
rived and the boy was resuscitated by
hard work. It was an awful close
call for little Roy.
On last Sunday, two of our prom
inent young men, accompanied by
their best girls, went out buegy rid
ing, and when just across the river
one of them threw out a lighted cigar
thinking it harmless, but after a ride
further on of two miles one of them
glanced around and saw the prairie
oa fire. Hurrying back they found it
in bad shape and for two hours they
worked like slaves fighting the flames
to keep them from burning down
houses on the farm. It was lots of
fun for the girls but the boys thought
it was the hardest luck going buggy
riding that they had ever indulged in
We would advise the smaller of the
two to be careful of his stubs when
buggy riding or pay less attention to
his Vest girl next itme.
The "Peal Sisters" a home talent
company, held the boards at the opera
house on Tuesday evening to a large
crowd of our citizens. The entertain
ment was fin:, and highly appreciated
by the talented audience. There was
much merit displayed by the noble
band of Alaskans and we thing by
proper training they will become
notfd. The entertainment was one
that will be long remembered in Red
Cloud as both pleasing and decidedly
comical in every particular. The
songs were calculated to keep the au
dience in an uproar alt the time, and
the numerous encores went to show
that tho entertainment was acceptable.
The following ladies took part in the
entertainment: The Misses Mary
Miner. Loua Bellows, Rose Emigh.
Nellie Adleshicm.Mollic Ferris, Lavil

of songs, dances, negro specialities,
and such plavh as befits the slave of

fact the entire entertainment was
first-class and reflects credit on the
ladies in charge. Among the curi
osities on exihibition was a copy of
the Peking (China) Gaiette, the old
est paper in the world, the property
of Mrs. Dr. Deaney, also a piece of
the Chinese wall, over 2000 years

scored over 200 years, etc. Tni

The good work performed by Miss
Clara Kellogg and Miss Clara White, in
the grammar room, eatitled them to spec

ly an incentiTe to others to work for a
similar honor.

Sell Strictly for Cash or Produce !
So come and see me and you will say that I have struck the
