S'J 811 Total Majority against bonds :( 1710 It J0 From t'.ie moment it was announced that a special election was to be call el, The Chief had no hope that the bonds would carry. However, we did not look for any such a landslide against the bonds. Py their votes the people of lied Cloud showed their re alization of the gravity of the situa tion and the peril in which the valu able records of the county arc being placed by being housed in a tinder box. and our nearest neighbors on the south in line township, also showed that they hud a correct understanding of the situation. It is not dilliciilt to understand why Potsdam, Oak Creek. Klin Creek and tttillwatorsliould be against the bonds, btit it is surprising that the voters of Pleasant Hill, (Juiile Rock, liartield. Walnut Creek and Inavale should have given the bonds-such a black eye, in view of their proximity to the county scat and their knowledge of conditions at the court house. Several factors contributed to the defeat of the bonds: First -Indignation at the calling of special election Second Opposition to voting bonds of any kind. Third The cry of "graft" and the fear that someone would get more out of the deal than the other fellow. Fourth The contention' that the amount asked for was too much. Fifth A general desire to "soak" the lied Cloud Commercial Club. ixth The misrepresentation of Powder most economical certain opponents of the bonds regit rd- ing the cost to iijdividuals. despite the fact that they had the plain figures lHf,, '"' IIvvever,thethingtodoisto-chcer can create a sinking fund without asking the consent of anyone,, and it is highly probable the latter action will be taken. The situation demands immediate action, and should a sinking fund be created it should be for SI 00.000. in older that the county may have a building suitable to its needs.

Tho following article from the Hast ingsJRopublicun explains in part the attitude of Pino Hill on the eonrt ltonse proposition: "A loading citizen of 111 no Kill (ells the Republican that enterprising citi- z,.s of nine Hill are becoming more anil more convinced tliat logically and j i,v rights the county scat should be at IMne Hill instead of Fled Cloud. The wiutherii half of Webster county is vtiVi' "B' "MV HlPMly settled and "u ,r,MI1 uumS iJS ,t!,ulu II lartning j country as the northern half. Two i thirds of the population of the county is north of the half dividing line. He intimated the wav the tight was brew ing the people of Red Cloud were liable to wake up some morning and discover that the wido-uwako and resourceful Mine Hillites had planned a large coup to have the seat of county government moved from lied Cloud to Pine Hill, the most enterprising and growing, town between Hastings and the Ivan- sns line." That is the kind of talk that turned i manv votes against the bonds but it is not argument. The only thing ap-' proaehing argument is the statement concerning the division of population, ' and it is the reverse from the truth. Clio Club tins Banquet. At the home of Mrs. A. (1.

For once City Marshal lohn David son admits defeat, (siially when John goes after a party he lauds tha victim but last week when attempting to take a certain individual in custody he woefully bit the dust and this ex pression applies literally as well as llguratively. We think where the llrst mistake was seeking to arrest the din- turber without a warrant. Then too it was a female he was after and as all know man frequently comes out second hest in an encounter of thit kind, so.lohu really should have known better than to tackle her ladyship un assisted. She had made a nuisance of herself; well, in fact, hail been running at large for two days, and dually be came so annoying that divers oiti.oiw requested our peace preserver to make an arrest hut.lidin couldn't do it alone. Pohlly the marshal faced his duty, however, and after an exciting ehaso for fourteen blocks caught, the out law, Moon's old familv cow, down near (lorham's barn and attempted t lead her to a post. The cow made it hist desperate break for liberty. John couldn't let go of the rope, his feet assumed a perpendicular direction and his breast struck the ground, render- ing him for awhile hors tin combat. To days at home were sulllcicnt for repairs and (lie marshal is again on duty, a sadder but wiser man, his in- juries, by the way, amounting to a bruised breast ami sevcrnl ribs which , feel.like they were cracked, though the X-ray fails utterly to reveal any yawn ing fractures.
