Messrs Luke Phillips, M. Mur phy and John Roth are others who renewed this week. The Times makes a great roar about the bills filed by Commis sioners Barry and Hollinrako for attendance in county seat case. Com'r Barry made the trip to Rushville by rail and lie had a perfect right to do so and could not have made the trip in less time than he did. His bill will bear investigation. It is too bad the commissioners will pot allow themselves to be dragged up to Rushville every few months by tho Alliance pettifoggers and then fcjot their own expenses. If the commissioners are doing so many illegal acts why don't the Alliance legal lightweights pros ecute them and stop chewing the rag. Miss Adams returned rom Michigan where she has been vis iting relatives for the past three months. She purchased a pew stock of fine millinqry which the ladies are invited to call and ex amine. A marriage license was issued this week to Alma S. Gerdes and Mrs. Lina Taylor of Box Butte. Sheriff Sweeney and I. E.Tasli returned from Montana Monday. Mr. Sweeney bargained for a bunch of cattle aboulTUO head but upon receipt of a telegram from the party who was interest ed with him, -stating that owing to tho war trouble he thought best not to buy, tho deal was dropped, Mr. Tush visited his brothors at Bannuck and reports a pleasant time. The Alliance papers devoted considerable space toward abus ing G. y. Erb, simply because he was honest enough to admit that tho Alliance county seat pe tition contained many fraudulent names. Mr. Erb is not owned by the Alljance banks and cannot be used for a jumping jack like some others are. Latest War News. From tho Omaha World-Herald' NOM HAM) M ATANZAS. Key Wctd, Ka.,Airil 23. Admiral Sanijison Itis afternoon tyonil:iile(l. silenced ami pretty well dcgtroycil tlio Spanish batteries in position and in coiithc of construct ton at the entrance of tlio harbor of Matanuz. Ho did it with fhiK'slilp New Yoik, the monitor t'urlUn and ttic cruiser Cincinnati. Not one of the American ships wus struck, the Spanish gunnery heiut; wild. I have no means of knowing the number of dead and wounded on the Spanish side. Jt must he eon shlerahh-. The batteries II red ex plosive shells, and most of them foil wide of the mark. One hurst, just beyond tho stern of the New York, and a shrapnel shot exploded above her It took three ships eiuhteeu minutes to silence the batteries. monitor OArrtmiiB a btkamku The United States moid l or Terror, captian N. Ludlow, captured tlio big Spanish steamer fining, hound from corunua, Spain, for Havana, early yesterday inoinlng. The prize had on hoard a largo cargo of provisions intended for die Spanish troops In cuba. The capture took place three miles off cardcinis after u desperate chase, during which the Terror and and the gunboat Machias tired, alniosL blowing the Spanish pilot house into the witer. The money captured is in an iron safe The amount is not known. The Guide is one of the richest captured. jit is estimated that she she with tier cargo is worth S400.000. Hollinrake Replies, In tho Times of last week wo rend in llatning headlines that Commissioner Barry charged tho county for seven days for making i the trip to Rushville while Hol linrake makes tho trip in five. Then follows a statement which sho vs Hollinrake's bill is as fol lows: March 26, 27, 28 and 20 4 days, 12; mileage to Rushville GO miles, o Why does the Times editor say tho claim was tiled for 5 days services when it is only for four? Hp knew it was onjy for four days because ho published an itemized statement which shows it to be so. In regard to the statement that the levy was overdrawn. It is usual to draw warrants equal in amount to 85 per cent of tho leyy and tho amount transferred from other funds to the general fund. At each meeting of tho board jt has been customary to ascertain thu amount in tno county treasury belonging to other funds against which there are no warrants xnit standing or claims of any kind and transfer tho same to the general fund At tho close of the session of the Board each member ns usunl filed his claim for services during tho session and since tho last session of the board and then consulted the treasurer np to whethor there was money in his handB subject to transfer suflicent to pay the claims ard found that there was about $200 ready to bo transfer red to the general fund and which migbtbo transfsrred and warrants drawn for tho amount. Tho board Mien ordered warrants drawn to each member in pay ment for his services and no ob jection was madd by any member of the board. The board neglect ed to make an order transferring the surplus in the treasury in other funds to the general fund but this can be done at next meet ing' My claim for trip to Rush ville and for live days attendance during tho trial of tho county seat petition including milage was for !jy.80 Mr. Duncan's claim was for four days attend ance during the trial of the county seat petition (he being ab scent one day on account of sick ness) and milage and was for 20. On tho trip to Rushville 1 actual ly lost five days but only put in a claim for four days and while I might have made the trip by rail and traveled over 100 miles and charged mileage therefor. I took a team and only charged mileage for 00 miles. But still the dude editor of the Times will howl. James Hollinrake. Dad" Earnest is now at Lead, S. D. Non-resident owners of timber claims can complote their final proof by corresponding with T. J. O'Keefe. Wildy wants all your potatoes, butter, egs and chickens C. J. Wildyhas shipped out 27 cars of potatoes this season. Wo have a new Singer sewing machine the best on tho market for sale cljcup. Call and see it. From the Crawford Uulotlii , The county seat contosL iu Box Butte county resulted iu a victory for Homingford, by tho commissioners rejecting tho petition to call an election. Tlio potition proved to bo defective in manv points, which wore carefully and quietly looked up by those in favor of tho present county seat, and when tho defects wore made known and found to bo suftlcent grounds on which to roj.ee t tho potition, tho Alliance party undoubtly woro convinced that it would have been bolter for them had thoy not resort oil to tho 'sinning" process Hemingforil made a gallent light against heavy odds and thoy de servo crodit for their pluck. It id generally conceded that stufling is tho rule in county scat contests, and if the mattor comes to an election it will rcrquiroelo.se watching and hard work to jet what is considered a "square deal". Homingford, being aware of this, is doing all in hor powor to provont tho necessity of con tending with this difliculty. Up to date, sho has r.oason to rejoico over tho result of her ef forts.
