JOSEPH BRAUN.
An engine was disabled between here
.and Indianola , Friday , and had to return
to McCook for repairs. The break on
the tender became locked , resulting in
an uneven wheel , which made a terrible
din going over the rails.
Mr. H. C. Rider is building a house
in West McCook , 16x24 , with a L 12x
14. This is the first one of twenty
dwellings which we are informed Mr.
Rider and Mr. Marble of Marengo , Iowa ,
\vho will move here in a few weeks ,
purpose building during the year.
We hear loud complaints being utter
ed against the McCook hog , these days ,
by our merchants and others , and we
anticipate that a petition praying that
these nuisances be kept up will be pre
sented for the consideration of the
Board at an early date , and many join
us in the hope.
Pony Bill of the Northwestern Livc-
Stock Journal- says that the liberality ,
enterprise and intelligence of the stock
men he met during his recent trip along
the B. & M. was very gratifying ; and
that the facilities afforded the traveling
public and shippers by the B. & M.
- railroad are unsurpassed.
Notwithstanding the fact that most
of the road between Akron and Denver
is fenced , and a portion between Akron
and McCook , cattle are being killed in
great numbers. One section boss re
ported at division headquarters 30 kill
ed. Whether fencing or paying damages
is4he cheaper is the question.
ii
A slight fall of snow during Wednes
day morning and night.
Richard is himself again. The edi
tor of the Courier , it seems , is utterly
unable to retain his spleen againt our
town and THE TRIBUNE any length of
time.
The question of building a school
house is being discussed by our citizens.
The advantages that would accre to our
town from a good school all understand
and appreciate. Let"us have a school
building that will be a source of pride
to our people :

The train was delayed 20 minutes at
Denver in receiving eleven dead bodies ,
which passed through McGookj Friday ,
on the B. & M.enroute to Pennsylvania.
They were victims of the Crested Butte
disaster. Three parties accompany the
bodies to their destination.
By an official circular from the B. &
M. road , it is announci-d that hereafter
passenger trains No. 3 and 4 , running
between Omaha and Red Cloud , will be
run every day in the week , Sundars in
cluded. These trains have not been
Sunday trains heretofore and the change
will be appreciated by the travelling
public.
Last Sunday , Squire Fisher , in his
inapproachable style , united in the holy
bonds of matrimony , George P. Wcick
and Mrs. Jacobina P. Rail , both of
South McCook. As both of the high
contracting parties have sailed on the
calm sea of matrimony for a number of
years , they know the breakers and will
be able to avoid squalls , and THE TRIB
UNE wishes them a bon voyage.
A. W. Core } ' , whose ranch is situated
about three miles east of McCook , has
a fine bunch of 200 cattle which he is
grading , as are the majority of stock
men in this section of country , higher
and better each year. Mr. Corey has
2000 acres under fence , comprising one
of the finest little ranches along the
river. He also has one of the best pedi
gree Short-Horn bulls in Red Willow
county.
McGee & Campbell of Brownville ,
Neb. , have entered a body of land in
the Mecklin Canyon in Hitchcock coun
ty , for ranch purposes. They intend
to stock the same , which we are inform
ed will make one of the finest in this
locality , in the spring , either with na
tive or eastern cattle. Possessing the
requisite , they will make a valuable ac
quisition to the stock interests of the
valley. *
The County Commissioners have been
making some needed improvements in
the Court House. The Clerk and Treas
urer now occupy different rooms , and
these have been plastered and casings
put on. The vault is being pigeon-holed
and otherwise made more convenient as
a recepticle for the valuable papers and
books it is intended to preserve. The
Court Room is to be finished and a jury
room built. The contract has been let
for this work.
At the Phantom Party to be given by
the Social Club , Wednesday evening ,
of next week , none but bona fide phan
toms will be allowed to participate in
the dance until after unmasking time.
The ladies who arc preparing a supper
for the occasion , desire us to state that
none but maskers will be invited to
partake of th.eir repast. To those who
may receive invitations our advice would
be to pee that the sheet and pillow case
be not wanting as they will miss half
/the enjoyment of the evening.
\ Tuesday afternoon , the 22d ultimo ,
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hocknell started
with their baby for New Orleans , hop
ing that the little one under the healing
influence of that sunny clime might be
come well and strong. Mr. Hocknell
returned feeling hopeful of the baby's
rapid recovery ; but Providence'willed
otherwise. He received a telegram from
Austin , Texas , Monday , stating that the
baby was worse- , and before he arrived
at Austin , the little one's spirit had
taken its flight. The party arrived in
McCook , the following Monday noon ,
and the funeral took place in the after
noon. The sorrowful parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of all in their sad
affliction the loss of their only child.
Clark Ward , the new proprietor of
tliQ Indianola Hotel , came up to the
metropolis on Wednesday , returning
the following morning.
Two important business changes have
transpired during the week. One in
McCook and the other at Indianola.
At McCook , Tom. McCartney has dis
posed of his share in the business to
W. H. Haydcn , who will continue the
business under the style of W. II. Hayden -
den & Co. At Indianola , Will McCart
ney has purchased the half interest of
Mr. Haydcn , and will conduct the bus
iness alone. Tom McCartney informs
us that he will spend some time visiting
his brother and friends at Indmnola ,
after which he will go to San'Francisco ,
where he will go into business , if a fa
vorable opening should present itself.
We are sorry to. see" Tom go , and wish
him success in whatever business he
shall engage.
It is conceded by those who have been
in the valley for years , that there are
more land-seekers in this section at
present than there has ever been in the
history of the Republican Valley , even
later in the spring. Every train brings
stockmen and settlers or those who
come to locate claims with the intent
to become such and claims near Mc
Cook are becoming scarce indeed. We
are informed that Hitchcock .county is
"plumb full" of these rustlers after
land , and that desirable claims for range
purposes especially are being gobbled
up rapidly. Already are some people
looking toward Frontier county. There
are a great many good claims in this
county that are covered up , but every
now and then some one ascertains the
fact and reaps the reward.
We had the pleasure , during a recent
visit to the county seat , of attending'a
meeting of the Literary Society in which
our Indianola people take such a justi
fiable pride. The debate was the source
of considerable mirth due to some of
the astounding statements of the dis
putants. Mr. Breecc advanced , amongst
some generally accepted views of astron
omy , a number of paralyzing ideas of
his own , which we fear are not ortho
dox while they seemed to be clear to
the gentleman himself. Mr. Hunter
reached a responsive chord in' his'hum-
orous selection. The music by the Glee
Club was indeed praise-worthy , and the
solo by Mrs. Harney was very favorably
received and commented upon. The
attendance was large and the entertain
ment appreciated.
The Plunket divorce cases came be
fore the Special Term of the District
Court on Tuesday ; and , as we foretold ,
the plaintiffs in the cases found the
clime too tropical by half and Mr. Jap.
Plunket found it convenient to withdraw
his suit at least some testimony from
the defense made the said action quite
clear to his mind. And as the defense
put forth the plea that they were not
prepared to proceed with the case , Judge
Gaslin ordered the case of John Plun
ket continued until May 15 provided
$75 , temporary alimony be paid within
90 days otherwise the same would be
dismissed. Apropos we opine John
Plunket's countenance will hardly grace
Red Willow county's hall of justice
May 15. The cases would appear to be
ones of fraud throughout. One of the
erring husbands writes his trusting wife
in Indiana that he has entered 480 acres
of land , for instance , when he can't
name a foot of land of his own , and a
number of other outrageous falsehoods
we have not the space nor patience to
mention. One of the plaintiffs took
occasion to remark that the article
which recently appeared in this paper
was a PAID local td influence public
opinion against him and in favor of the
wives interested. We think we have the
individuals calibrebut ' an individual who
o
leaves a. wife and five children in desti
tute circumstances and goes West "min
ing" ostensibly , but really stops off at
McCook and goes into the hotel business -
ness under circumstances well under
stood , does not possess the sentiment of
a man in his favor to be influenced , and
he may presume too much on the longsuffering -
suffering of an indignant and outraged
community.
