It wIll be a piece of good news to Broken Bow people to learn that the Arington Comedian's will appear at the Opera house each night during fair week. The reputation of this first-class company is fully established in this city and it's a safe bet they will be greeted by a crowded house ev ry night during the week.

Will you , ear reader , make it a point to inform the editor of the e YOlt known have gone or are going ? Please do not forget this very earnest pleading. There is complaint by fanners that certain Broken Bow fellows are already coming into the country and killing prairie chickens-contrary to law-and if the officers of the gun club , which ought to also protect game , do not make an effort to bring the offenders to justice they will post notices and not allow hunting on their lands even in the open season.

Walter Arington , of Arington's Comedians , was in the city yesterday and completrd arrangements - ments for his company to appear at the Opera house during' fair week. The Arington company has appeared here one week each September the past five years and have always given the very best satisfaction , but they now bave a bigger and better company - pany than ever , together with a ladies orchestra whose rendition of music is alone worth the price of admision. . . . . . - - - - - - - ' - - - HOAD : "o'1'In : , To whol11 It ma ) ' . ; oneern : ' 1'he eon1lnl ! > loner appolntell to view allll II . 11cemcll for the l1uIJile gooll to locate a roall petitioned for IJ ) ' ( WO , W , Burton , et al. com mcnclng at aJUlnt about II > rods , more 01 , \JUlnt : Ic ! > , > outh of t \ IC northwe t corner ot heetlol ! : :1. : township U , range III. and running thenel wc.t about 00 rods , to the road as now travcl I cd , and thence In a northerl ) ' dlrectloll following . lowing . the road a. . now traveled , througt I CI.tlons , 11 , t ! aud5 In township U , ranll III. allll through bcrUons 3' : anll1. : \ . towlI hll II > , range IV. and terminating at the north ; cast corncr of the ! > c !
