Saturday morning ho hired a

feature of his horso from other

about eight miles from Montrose
in somo unaccountable way tho
horso moved a littlo quicker than
Father oxpectod and ho was
thrown violently to tho ground,
whoro ho lay unconscious, until
somotimo after whon a coAV-boy
oamo along and found him. Ho
placed tho unconscious man in
tho buggy, tho horso had stop
pod a few rods away, and took
him on to Montrcsobut thero be
ing no ono thero who could caro
for him ho was takon back to
Ardmoro tho same ovening.

was kindly cared for and folt
well onough to come homo Wed

Editor Herald:
Sinco leaving Hemingford, I
havo traveled over 3,000 miles
and havo soon a groat variety of
country, but nono that I like so
well as Box Butte. In Iowa I
noticed that crops wero but littlo
better than at homo, hay being
very poor. Throughout 111.,
Ind., N. Y., clear down to old
Mass., I hoard tho same com
plaint of light crops, all caused
by the drouth in June. In the
great fruit states of N. H. and
Vermont tho cherries all rotfcedj
on tho trees. Apples aro aialf
crop. Tho prospect for a crop
of pears, peaches and grapes is
fair. Potato vinos aro dead and
potatoes not matured. Farmers
aro digging them but it will bo
hard to provont them from de
caying. It looks odd to a wos
tern man to see their one and
two acre fields of corn and pota
toes. Times aro very dull here
but show sitms of improvement:
I expect to return about Sept. 1st.
Very truly,
H. R. Green.
At tho present writing there,
aro throe "good" republicans
looking for tho nomination for
high sheriff of Box Butte county.
Their respective names aro Col.
W, ChattanogaM aunts, Adjutant
Wm. Murfroesboro Foskot, and
Captain A. Bunkor Hill Mc
Laughlin. Each has secured, tho
services-a of good coachor and all
wo can do is to wait till af tor
tho skirmish at tho convention
to soo who tho unfortunate rep
is; and then perhaps tho other
faction of Box Butte republicans
will nominate a man, and so it
goes.
Charley Krosing, a German boy
about fifteen years of age, wont in
swimming in Bryant's pond last
Saturday about noon. Ho did not
appear at tho house that day and it
was feared that ho was drowned.
The pond was dragged aud divers
searched uutil Sunday afternoon
when tho body was found with tho
legs doubled up indicating that
tho boy had been taken with cramps
and being a'ono in tho water at
tho time was unable to save him
self or get aid. His folks livo in
Box Butte county not far from
Dunlap, His own mother is dead
and his father ha3 married again.

Editor Herald:
I do not wish to enter into a
controversy with the editor of the
Guido, but his paper of tho 7th
inst,, contains an item which is
misleading and exaggerated.
While tho conversation roforrod to
in tho article i partly true, tho
writer will havo to omit such
phrases as "Like mighty well" and
'Chief" before ho can got down to
the facts in the matter. His wan
dering is somewhat surprising, as
the Journalist has a reputation for
truthfulness. Ono would infer
from the writing that I would Blur
the clerk, I wish to say that such
is a grand misrepresentation for I
would not do such a thing for any
consideration, as 1 believe that Mr.
Ncal is without a peer in his offic
ial capacity. ), E. Jounhon.
