Kiliht Writes Entertainingly ? the Rrmer Gevenwr. The following article was written by "U. O. Knight, the San Pedro represen tative of the Los Angeles Herald, and was published in that paper recently: San I'kihio, July 7. For two days San Pedro has been entertaining a dis tinguished person in Governor E. P. Savage of Nebraska, who was the guest of Hanker Charles Nicolai, they being old friends in the Missouri river state. ' The former governor was a famous character in his state for years and would, no doubt, be such yet if he had not made an error while in otllce. He was llrst elected six years ago as lieutenant governor with Charles Diet rich on the same ticket as his chief. Later the legislature took up tho gov ernor as a candidate for the senate and elected him and Savage became governor. In the years previous to his election W. K. Hartley, the state treasurer, had been found short in his accounts a half million dollars and had been sen tenced to tho state penitentiary for a term of twenty years. Hartley's wife and others, with tears in their eyes, pleaded with Savage with such effect that lie finally pardoned the guilty man and turned him free. At the time the people of the state were indignant over the action of their chief executive and their love for him was turned to hate and when it came time for the election of another governor his name was not mentioned, although he has long since been for given for the offense. A good story has often been told at the expense of the governor, .which is vouched for by nearly every member of the state legislature at that time in Nebraska. When he was selected to the place of lieutenant governor he was occupied in ranching on a large scale in the northwestern part of the state and his terms were sometimes a little horsey. While the joint legislature was in session to elect a senator, he, as pre siding olllcer of the state senate, oc cupied tho chair. The interest was keen and sometimes the crowd in tho gallery became so largo that it became , unmanageable. At one time it surged forward so strongly that many of tho spectators loaned far out'over the railing in front in front of the seats. The lieutenant governor saw what was liable to happen and in stentorian tones bellowed out, "Get back, get back, up there, I say. You are liable to be pushed over the dashboard." ne never heard the last of that ex pression from the newspapers. Mr. Savage is one of a company which owns or has title to a strip of land In Lower California, beginning at the lower end of the peninsula and extending, sixteen miles wide, up the coast for 600 miles on the west sldo, being the owners of the greatest length of coast of any company of land in the world. The title to the land hns been ques tioned and Mr. Savage has been sent to see that it is cleared up, as he is famous for such work. He left for San Diego today and will go at once to the scene of tho trouble. 'Stooped the Paper." It is certainly amusing to a news paper man to see what small things can arouse tho anger of certain peo ple. It is even more laughable to see tho fierceness with which they order their paper discontinued, just hh though that would teach the editor to "never do it again." During the past three years tho edi tor of this paper has been in contact with a number of such people, and in one or two cases, where an error was made, we have promptly righted the wrong, even though we lost the sub scriber's good will. In one instance wo had two people on our back about the same article, each one claiming he had been misrepresented in a certain dispute between them. Hut about the smallest thing for a person to become angry over was a very brief statement in the write-up of the P. E. O. entertainment in last week's issue of Tiik Cjiikf. "After paying a very nice compliment to one of tho soloists on the program, the author of tho article went to say that "It was a little unfortunate that dur ing tho pianissimo movement in the solo the piano accompaniment was so loud as to almost drown her music for those in tho rear of tho building." The lady who played the accom paniment took offense at the criticism and proceeded to read the riot act to the editor. The editor is no musician, and was not present at the entertain ment, so tho lady was referred to tho author of tho article, who is well in formed in musical matters, and she proceeded to give him a berating. The lady btated to us that the accom- Reunion Plans. Reunion committee of the G. A. It. is working over time on the program, for their coming event and expect to announce their speakers very soon. Thus far the committee has received a promise lrom Congressman Norris for an address and it is using every etl'ort to secure Gov. Iloeh of Kansas for the .same purpose. While the governor lias not promised as yet those having tlie matter in charge are very hopeful that they will secure him. Other good! speakers are also promised. Tho W. R. C. lias been doing some-hustling tjo and announces thatMrs. Abbie Adujuv. , national president of thafa body, wJili, give an address .In l ?1 TlfSyf: These speakers, together with tlio ex cellent music and otlier attractions provided, will make the event the best, the local Grand Army post has yet of fered to the public. Hit by Hall. During Wednesday night a severe rain storm, accompanied by hail, swept down from the north add left considerable in its wake. In town the hail was not heavy enough to do any damage but a large dumber of trees, were twisted and broken by the wind. Northwest of town the hail was much more severe and damaged some of tho corn fields badly. At Pat Kellett's the damage to the growing crop was almost complete as tho storm center seemed to pass directly over his farm. Several other farms also suffered more or less. The storm was tho heaviest of the summer although it was not accompanied by much electricity. Tho report was current about Red Cloud yesterday morning that Mr. Kellett had been injured during the storm but this proved to be without founda tion. We Have a Band. If enthusiasm and earnest desire to make noise count for anything Reel Cloud ought to take of its hat individ ually and collectively to the juvenile band which has appeared in our midst dnring the past week. Under the leadership of Hilly Carson this aggre gation of coming musical monstrosi ties are making rapid progress and are rnow willing to make dates for sere nades and well, in fact, almost any engagement upon suggestion from those desiring their services. They are giving open air concerts each even ing and oftentimes at such hours that the sleepyheads are forced to arouse and bestow benedictions upon them for keeping them from sleeping their heads off. The band will be useful when the matrimonial market gets busy in the fall. County Court News. July 23 Hryden Trimmed Hat Co. vs. Hadell, continued July 21 International Harvester Co. vs. Shirley.
