31. B. Edleataa.
On last Friday evening after the
Tue Chief had been printei for that
week our fellow townsman, M. B.
Edleman, received a telegram from
Omaha to the effect that the United
States Attorney could not find any
evidence against the gentleman that
would even give them a shadow at a
chance to indict him, notwithstand
ing the extraordinary efforts of the
officious bank sxaminer to make a
case against him out of whole cloth.
There was not a shadow of fraud in
Mr. Edlemaa's connection with the
Red Cloud National Bank'fe failure,
and we are pleased to note that all
efforts tc make it appear so have
fallen flatly to the ground as they
should. It is very easy for evil-
minded persons to belittle a man and
say mean things of him without being
fully informed, but it is quite another
thing to prove smch statements. Tue
Chief believes that Mr. Edleman is
an honorable and upright man and
would do no one wrong intentionally,
and hence the failure of the grand
jary to indict him en the charge pre
sented bj the bank officer, is a just
vindication of that gentleman's in
tegrity. The vindication is all the
more appreciated when one stops to
ponder over the fact that a United
States grand jary never fails to indict
a person if there is the least show of
guilt on his part. It pleases The
Chief very much to be able to con
gratulate Mr. E. over the victory he
has won in this instance. We never
had any doubt of his innocence and
rejoice the more at his complete suc
cess in proving himself to be so with
out material effort on his part. But

How ttteBay was asenred la Bed
dead ay old SeMlera aaa.CItlxeae.
The 30th day of May is always observ
ed in Bed Clond by oar patriotic people,
and iast Thatsday was no exeeptiea to
tha rale. For aboat roar weeks past tha
old soldier aoys and the niemuerc of
Garfield Post, and the. ladies of tha W. R.
C, have bean making tha necessary ar
rangements for tha batter observance of
Decoration Day this year than aver be
fore in Bed Clond, and they succeeded
admirably. Early in tha morning a
large number of people from all parts of
tha county began arriving, and by tha
time the exercises were to commence a
large crowd was in readiness to take part
in the axercises. At 1 o'clock tha mem
bers of the O. A. R. filed ont of their hall
into 4th avenue and marched east to Web
ster street, headed by tho marshal band,
where the procession was formed and
marched to the 2nd ward school building.
Here tho children were taken in, aad then
the march was again taken np to the
cemetery, stopping only long econgh at
the 1st ward school building to form the
little folks into line.
AT THE CZKRBBT.
A. large crowd had gathered to witness
the decoration ceremonies by the G. A. R.
boys and W. R. C. ladies. The usual cere
monies were performed, when the crowd
marched back to the city and convened at
the opera hocse. aboat 1000 strong, not
over half being able to get seats. The
entertainment there was very impressive
all through. The exercises were opened
by mus'C from the male quartet, after
which Rev. Falkenbnrg offered np an ap
propriate prayer. The male quarted
again entertained the audience with a
fine selection of vocal music, after which
the 42 girls, whose names we give belcw
were marched upon the stage and took
their positions, each one representing a
state from the oldest to the newest, step
ped forward, in order as the states were
admitted, repeated an appropriate senti
ment and placed a floral tribute npon the
altar.

After the states had been represented,
Nellie West representing the District of
Colombia, repeated an appropriate selec
tion, and than the curtains were drawn
aside and Gertie Pond as tha Goddess of
Liberty, guarded by soldiers on either
side capped the climax. The children's
portion of the program was a new fea
ture and decidedly tbe best part of the
exercise. After more sinking. Col.
Moore aii old soldier, was introduced and
delivered one of the best speeches ever
listeded to ia Bed Clond. After the
speech, with the exception of more sing
ing, tha exercises closed. everytody feel

Heaven's name why don't he proclaim

On Tuesday a number of our eiti-j
sens, and a Mr. Kellmar representing
Fairbanks maanfactnrine company.
who has been here for about two
weeks making an effort to get the en
gine ont of the electric light works
that his company sold that institu
tion !ast winter, were arrested and
taken to Omaha. Kellmar had com
menced a replevin seit in the case and
Sheriff Scott had served the papers
and the men had succeeded in get
ting the engine ont of the light house
and on to a car for shipment to bis
firm. During the period that the en
gine was sold and the present date
the Red Cloud Milling Company fail
ed, and the engine being a part of
the company's property, it went with
the balance of it into the U. S. court
on a suit commenced by non-residents
of the state, and the replevin
suit instituted was considered an in
fraction of the authority of the feder
al court, hence the appearance ia this
city of U. S. Marshal Stewart with a
warrant for the arrest of all parties
conuectcd therewith. The parties
were taken to Omiha to st-ttlt. the
matter before Judge Dundy.
The Burr outfit at Blue HMI and
Riverton want to know if The Chief
will have the gall to deny that Judge
Gaslin was drunk this time." We
will most certainly deny it until bet
ter evidence is introduced. No one
disputes the fact that Judge Gaslin
drinks, but The Chief does not know
it only from hearsay, not being iu the
habit of frequenting saloons, oursclf.
If the Burr outfit know the facts they
must have been theie. However the
time to fight a man of Judge Gaslin's
stripe if he is not qualified for office
is before ho is elected, not directly
afterwards, it don't show good sense.
The people elected the Judge know
ing his faults, and arc therefore, re
sponsible, and just such people as
the Burrs' we have no doubt helped
to elect him knowing that he was not
a proper man for the responsible po
sition he oecupies, and then turn
around and kick him for taking a
place when it was thrust npon him.
The Chief is no friend of the Judge's
yet it likes to see chronic people con
sistent. The Burr's should not be so'
verniicious iu hunting up Judge Gas
lin's bad habits.
It has been brought to our ears iu
divers ways that a gang of men whose
years of experience and whose judg
ment ought to tell them better have
been in the habit of getting on
hurrahs or plain drunks as they are
generally known and acting in a
manner that if not in keeping with
good sense or decency. We are
pleased to say, however, that they
re not actual resident, but belong to
that class of men whose busiress calls
them here frequently. Recently they
hired a rig, took to colored men and
several quarts of bug juice and be
came hilarious to that degree, that it
was impossible to attend to their
business, and between drinks the
team ran off and broke the vehicle to
pieces and hurt one or two of the oc
cupants. If such doings as that can
be called pleasure, we don't want any
of it, and those taking part ought to
be ashamed if they arc not lost to all
decency. Their actions were cer
tainly disgiacefuL
The tournament committee at Red
Cloud have secured a remarkable low
rate from the B. ec M. for the coming
tournament The rate will be one
cent a mile each way for all persons
within seventy miles from Red Cloud.
The rate for firemen will be one cent
a mile all over the state and all other
persons one and one-third fare from
all stations over seventy miles from
Red Clond. This is the best rate
ever granted the firemen of the state
and will insure an immense crowd at
the coming tournament. The Red
Cloud committee is composed of
rustlers and if the meeting is not a
success it will be through the fault of
the firemen of the state outside of
