Mr. Penn ex- I pects to build f a commodious j 'residence on thc lots during the . , coming summer. \ " - On account of thc dcath of hcr mothcr Miss Lois Hills has re- signcd as tcacher in the Seventh grade of the Broken Bow schools and Miss Margaret Crawford , who taught at Westerville , has . been selected by the school board I to fill the vacancy. I I A.t the meeting of the county ; supervisors last wee } { it was decidul to lay a cement wal ken on the north and south sides of the , co lrt house block. This act I towa d the improvement of onnty roperty ought to be an incentive to property owners who , it is to bc hoped . , will go to and I cIo liJCwise. . Mr. and Mrs. C. R.

A continued story , " 1'he Sheriff of Brok < " 11 Bow , " adver- \ ti ed to a ppcar in a magazine , is out and those our citizens wh\ ) purchased a copy expccting to read of some of the thrilling local events , when Charles Penn wa the high sheriff , were ( lis. appointed , as the scene of the ptory is lajd on the Mexical1 border. And thu\3 \ , too , is tH } fond belief that Broken Bowl Nebraska , is the only bow of thai kind on earth. " cIi. . W. H. Heeder , who resides l1ea ] Merna , was a Custer county ta payer in the city last Friday , He helped to locate the count ) scat in this city and sees ne reason for changing it and a' ' . { the sal , e time increase taxes \.4 \ U ! which caunot be averted when the ta payers ar much less it number , the number of countJ officers to pay no less an ( ; expenses nearly as much as wou1c bc thc case in a county one fourU the size of Custer. Mr. Reede is certainly level-headed. John F. Line , who resides 01 the south line of the county it I40UP townshil' , was in the cit , , last Saturday , with witnesses submitting proof bcfore Judgl Humphrey in support of hi claim to a quarter in section 34- town 13 , range 34. 'l'he enl . dilTerence division will make wit ! him will be higher taxes.

It is quite evident that Broken Bow is a musical1y inclincd burg- , H. A. Watts having sold fiv pianos and threc Victor phonographs - graphs within the last ) thirty days. 'l'hose nimrods who have gone out from Broken Bow to Inll ducks have not met with ! , uccess to a howling extent. They report plenty of duc1es flying-high up- but none of the hunters took air ships with 'em 'l'he continued story of the Litchfield Mfg. , Co. : on our editorial page should interest every reader of this paper and we think it will be found profitable to fol1ow this series as they appear week by week.
