Confidence was never so great
a factor in the business world as
it is to ay. 'l'he manufacturer
trusts the jobber , the jobber the
retailer and the latter his custo-
mers--all because of the reputation -
tion each has secured and b-cause
of confidence in his integrity.
'l'he banker loans the lIlerchant
the funds to assist him in carrying -
ing on his business because of
confidence in his honesty and
good business judgment. You
accept the check of your neighbor
to pay the debt he owes you.
You do not immediately rush to
the bank and demanc1 gold thereon -
on , but in the usual course of
business you deposit it in the
bank where you transact buaines !
with full expectation that in due
course your account will receive
credit for the amount for which
it was written. You may occasionally -
ionally be dec 1vec1 , but onlv
very seldom. Confidence pays-it
helps every where ; it never pays
to be lIa kicker. " Really there
is no section of the country , as
good as right here in Nebraska ,
where the basis of fact exists
making confidence sure and
secure. It is the home of the
optimist , because behind the
claims are the most pr\Jlific soil
in the world , the health-giving
atmosphere and the most pro.
gressive and wide a wake people ,
as well as the greatest opportun.
, ities in every line. Broken Bo\ ' ;
has secured her presen t proul
position because her citizens have
stood shoulder to shoulder 1
protecting its best interests , hac
faith in the efforts of the res
and boosted msteac1 of trying tJ
t ar down. The sa me may prac' '
tically be said of our state at
large. Broken Bow will continu
to prosper just as long 'as thi
course is pwrsued. Benefit to al
cannot help but come from sucl
a course.UDon't . knock-buj

Some there arc-perhaps al

painfully lacking in feature
which tend to lend interest t

IFair Allocil1tion Meeting.
'l'he directors of the Custer
County li'mr association met last
Saturday and delved deeply into
the necessities dependent upon
making the annual fair , to be
held next September , a greater
success-if possible-than the
one pulled off last fall , and it jQ
confidentlv believed this will ensue -
sue , as w rk ig to be commenced
at once and vigorously pursued
until t 1e last race on the last day
of the fair.
The premium list was revised-
itcm by item-and many changes
made , in each instance the premium -
ium being increased , while several -
al new features were added with
good sized premiums attached.
The race program will be practically -
tically the samc as last year ,
only that several additional
events will be placed on th list ,
and more money placed in the
purses in an effort to attract
more and speedier horses than
competed last year , and if this
can be accomplished it will serve
to increase the crowd and more
'
fully please them.
'l'he management will be on
the alert henceforth .for attractions -
tions that will amuse and intend
to spend considerable time and
some money in securing attrac-
tiong that arc in every way first-
class and up to the minute.
. In the sweepstakes class for
best stallion , any age or breed ,
the premium will be $20 , and the
same for best mare. This is
double the amount of the premium
last year. For beat marc with
sucking colt by' side , $15. Last
year only 55 was paid. Added
under , the head of sweepstakes
is for best sucking colt. 1O for
- 1st and 55 for 2nd.
In the cattle sweepstakes , four
animals , the fet of one sire , was
raised from $15 to $251 and the
same raise was made for herd of
not less than one bull and four
cows , while a raise of from $5 to
$15 was made for best bull , any
age or breed. and the same for
_ best cow , any age or breed.
1 In sheep $2 and 51 were paid as
1st an 2nd premiums last year
for best ram and ewe , any age
or breed. This year it will be
y $10 and $5. Last year it was 53
_ for best lot of five or more sheep ,
y 'rhis year the winner will get
s $15.
o In the sweepstake premium
e for hogs the amounts are double
those of last year and will be thh
year : for boar , any age 01
breed , $20 ; sow $15 , sow ani
not less that five sucking pigs
$ io.
io.'l'he
'l'he changes noted above are
but a few of those made by the
board at last Saturday's meeting
the premium list , as hereinbefore
stated , ha.ving been revisedl
item by item , the premium it
each 1nstance being increased se
that it will p'ay those who have
e\'en fairly good stock to brin
and exhib1t it at the fair.
One of the special premium
will be $40 , Dr. J. G. Brenize ]
giving * 25 and the associatior
$15 for best four colts from ou <
sire in one exhibit. The colt !
may belong to different person !
and bunched , and they may be
from sucking colts up to 2-'eal
molds.
Another new one is three pri7e : !
$20 , $14 and $8-for the best col

l'IUtT.IIUN'AltY ItXAMIN'A'rION' .
Monday afternoon a prelimi.
nary hearing' of the case was had
before County Judge Hun1pbrey ,
the defendant on a claim of self
defense desiring to be admitted
"
to bail. C. L. Gutter"son , county
attorney , . appeared fo the stat < :
and Sullivan & SqU1res on behalf -
half of the defcndant.
'l'he fol1owing named p rsol1s
were sumllloned by the state and
testified : John1\lcGuire , Auhrc.v
Martin , Dr. W. E. 'l'albot , IIPat"
Stevenson , N. 'I' . Gadll , H. A.
Moore , W. A. Shackelford , C. W.
Beal and J. S. Baisch , while John
Dil'tz and George O. Water
were subpoenaed by the defense.
'rhe testimony of those who
were eye witnesses to the affair
was all practically to the
samc cffcct. 'l'heir attention
was attracted by the loud talk of
Calland , wbo soon produced a
revolver and flourished it at San-
derson a moment beforc beginning -
ing to shoot , Sa'nderson holding
up enc han as if ip1ploring hila
not to shoot. 'rhose who saw
the shooting and were within
bearing distance also testiJiec
that after Sanderson had fallen ,
Carland SI1Outcd"Lay : there , ) 'OU
s- of a b- . ' Dr. 'l'albot stated
in his testimony that in c. mpany
with Drs. Pennington and Dodds
they went to the undertaking
rooms to hold an autopsy on the
body of Sanderson and in preparing -
ing the body for such autopsy a
revolver was found in the pocket
on the right hand side of his
coat. He also testified to where
the bullets took effect , and their
range and the possibilities of
( hath resulting from either one
or both : ' That the one which entered -
tered under the left arm , s vered
the artery from the heart , pac sed
through the body and came out
near the right nipple , would
cause death in a very few moments -
ments and could not be prevent-
ed. That the bullet which en.
tered on the shoulder , passed
tbrough to the neck and lodged
in the vertebrae , breaking the
vertebrae , would in almost ever , ) '
instance cause death , although
there arc cases on record where
men have had their . necks broken
and lived.
John Dietz and George .
Waters both testified to the gene -
e al bad character of Sanderson
and considered him a dangerous
man and a menace to peaceable
and law abiding- citizens , having
w.itnessed him on Saturday after-
noon. prior to the shooting ,
assault , without just cause or
provocation , a solicitor for the
Omaha Bee.
TI'ollowing the testimony of
witnesses Attorney Sullivan made
a motion that the defendant be
placed under bond for his apt
pearance at the district court al1d
argued in suppGrt of the mohon.
Attorney Gutterson argued that
the prisoner be not released un.
der bond , but detained in jail.
Judge Humphrey decided that
from the evidence presented he
I would not admit the defendant tc
: liberty under bond , and ordeled
that he be committed to the
I county jail and there safely kepi
to await the action of the Dis.
trict court.
The holding of Carland to the
District court , without bail ,
meets with the openly stated
opinion of practically all citizem
who have expressed themselvc
in such a manner that bu t Ii Ule
I . sympathy is felt for either , hu1
for their families , each pf whom

, is general sympathy and for theit
