The Alliauco papers aro out denying tho name of ono John Ronsvold "deceased," and say that tho namo is shown on tho potition as John Underwood and tho county clerk and his doputy take tho stand with tho Alliance combination and say tho namo is John Underwood.

We I take it that tho clerk and his 1 deputy want to do tho right thing and wo do not make this charge against them, but thero , aro others in Alliance that could make the change. Tho name on tho petition is in load pencil. Mr. T. K. Gilslmnnon, ono of thp first bottlers and a successful fanner of Wright precinct, was u pleasaut caller Friday. Tho letter published in the Alli ance Timed from A. L. Sharrockto Mr. Hall was a dandy and breathes tho sentiments of every .one in lleiningford. We are hero lo stay and light until tho last. Many thanks for publishing it. Come again. Tho fallowing wi copy f ro n the Omaha World-Herald. "It is said that the Alliunso peo ple have picked out the spot uhero they intend lo have the court house built, and will soon call for bids for material." Farmers and tax payers does this sound like they were not pre paring to bond tho county. Look well to your taxes for the future and remember your present court house is fully paid for and tho fi nances of tho county aro in excel lent shape. W. D. Rumor has capped the climax of public philanthropy and is now closing out his shop worn goods to the suiTering(?) farmers at less than cost. Verily the ways of tho county seat removal man are devious. Rev. Kendall's father died last Sunday at Rushvillo. He was nearly 70 years of ago and had been ill for sometime. Mr. Ken dall returned Wednesday. Mrs. Friel is quite ill. The Alliance people now say that a crazy man stole that letter from Mr. Hall und carried it with him to the insane asylum at Nor folk, from which placo tluy ob tain it. This explanation of the u atter suggests the thought that the Alliance county seat boomers should 6end sonu ane person to the asylum, if such a one can bo found among their number, to pick up all letters that go tho s.imu way. JtiJiiu fro u the action of the gang considerable correspondence m;hr baobtiiiKid in this tvay a 1 1 nush valu ib! ill formation furu shj.l tin A.lianco papers for piblintion. A pecu liar feature of tho maladv that af flicts the Alliance boomers lies in tho fact that they havn a mania for handling other people's mail matter. In county seal fights, a latitude has to be allowed to tlm men who aro getting up thn fight for their own ends as far a, tho truth goes. Alliance must Imvo appreciated this fact in their work but the way in which thy lie indieriininataly is wonderful to lt)hoId.

Dadu, pastor of tho Congregational ! church, aged 00 years, 5 I months and 28 days. I For two weeks Mrs. Dada had boon suffering with pneumonia, but was convalescing. On tho morning of her death she was j unusually bright, ato a hearty I breakfast and asked hor husband to go for tho mail. On Mr. Da- I da's return from tho ofilco ho i found her suffering very mucli ; but with his assistance slio walk od to tho bed and in twenty min utes from that timo was dead. For 82 years she had boon a minister's wife, enduring tho i hardships and trials like a true servant of tho Most High, and rejoicing over victories. She was possessed of a lovely chris tian character and worked zeal ously for tho building of the Master's kingdom on earth. Her daughter, Miss Velma, who was at Denver, was tol egraphed for and will hero this evening. Her husband and daughter have the sympathy of the entire community in their suddon bereavement. . Funeral services Sunday at 11 o'clock, intormont Hcmingford cemetery. When the Alliance people wore circulating their petition they were not called "lying, unscrup ulous, unprincipled knaves" nor did v.'o ask tho .armors or cit izens of Hcmingford to take down their shot guns and go af ter them as tho Times of tins' week suggests. But now that wo are digging up some of tho rottenness, how different. Now Bro. Ellis this shot gun business don't scare anybody, but wo will bo with you on all mattors an:l if you want to fight that way, we aro ready. We want to serve notice just here to tho effect that we aro going to fight you for the next twenty years, or more if necessary, to hold our rights. Come on. Judge Spacht is quite sick nt his homo with intermittent fever. Dr. Bollwood is attending him. The Alliauco papers aro not content with backing up the coun ty seat gang in deliberately try ing to steal the county seat which is Plemingford's by every right but think that this paper has not even airy right to live at all and inferp that, wo are bought by tho Inter State Townsito Company because wo stand up for what is our rights. How easy it is for them to see faults in other people and ignore their own. It is possible, nay more, probable that tho re cent additions to the printing of fices in Alliance wero purchased with money from tho county seat fujid of Alliance. Sudden riches in the Alliance newspaper offices at ' the time of a county seat fight is apt to lmvo a shody construction ' any how. But wo aro alive, o.vn ourselves ami our paper and will stick in this fL'ht to tho fi l.sli and Homingford will keep the county seat. When papers like those in Alliance seek to back up an unholy fiht like this attempt to ' steal a county oat their 6enso of moral honor is apt to gut warped so that they think everyone i as bad as they aro.

It is a picture seldom seen now, and only posslblo in tho unre stricted range of tho reservation a pic ture, If seen, never to bo forotton, saj tho Anaconda Standard. For flvo days theso bronze riders havo scoured th northern range of tho reservation, driv ing boforo them every horao that wao found In this long stretch of country. They have ridden across tho rolling ground of the lower valley; they have eearched the canyons; thoy have peno trated the dense timbers of the foot hills; thoy hnvo ''-nhed to tho open parks on the mountainside. From val ley and canyon and hillside they hava driven tho half-wild horse, and have gathered them on tho banks of the Pend d'Orcl'.lo river for tho cutting cut. Five thousand tossing heads, 10, 000 vicious eyes, 20,000 trampling hoofs!, Almost as far as the eye can reach are r horses, horses, horses. There are steeds at every color and of every size. Near ly all of them are the mean, treacherous Indian ponies, some of them shapely and handsome, It is truo, but in every eye la a flash of wlldnees that betokens 111 for tho man who attempts to tarns tho ow r. Hero tnd thcro in a mass of horses that Is being urged onward at a trot is a big, fine-looking animal that evidences good breeding. But there aro not nany of theao. Thoy aro near ly all cayuscB of the cayuaost order. At ono of the ranches on tho banks of tho river thero are three big, well-fenced pastures, and here the cutting-out will be done. On the reservation there are now about 15,000 horses, and of these it is estimated that ful'.y 2,000 have no right to the Indian range. This will do much to Improve the condition of the range, and It la for this purpose that tho big round up has been undertaken. The band of horses now belnc driven toward the ex temporized corrals has been gathered in tho rogion north of the Pend d'Orellle river. Ab soon es the cutting-out has been accomplished tho riders will cross the river and will rcurd up the stock between that stream and Crow creek, and thcro will bo anothor separation at tho Allard ranch on Mud creek. In ad dition to the removal of all horses, Agent Carter has ordered that a'.l cay use stallions may bo disposed of In or der that there may be some improve ment in the grade of horses raised on the reserve Thun the round-up will ac complish a double purpose.
