Spencer News : Last year we had no
saloons in our town and business was
pretty dull , and it was assumed by some
that the dullness was caused by lack of
saloons. This year we have three sa
loons , and business is duller than last
year. _

Something must be wrong with the
mail service again. We have not re

county exchange any longer without
murmuring.
Five Deputy U. S. Marshals were in
town Friday for the purpose of getting
the necessary papers and a few "point
ers" from U. S. Court Commissioner
Strautto arrest Tom Hill. Whether
they succeeded in accomplishing their
mission , up to this date weare not
- informed.Culbertson Sun.
wclcomcYieitor at this office'Monday ,

establishment at tmt ? place , and Mrs.

Moody Starbuck commenced running
on his mail route between McCook and
Denver , Wednesday afternoon. This
extension of mail service will be a great
convenience to the people between these
two points one that will be greatly ap
preciated we doubt not.
We hear it frequently remarked that
"prohibition don't prohibit. " Be that
as it may us regards the liquor traffic ,
but we'are of opinion that it is true
with respect to the pig question , as they
seem to be master of the situation. By
the by , do you know that our city attor
ney's yearling was in the pound , Sunday ?
The old Board of Trustees met Tues
day night and canvassed the vote cast
April 1st , and ordered the clerk to issue
certificates of election to those found
and duly declared elected : V. Frank
lin , G. L. Laws , H. C. Rider , J. R.
Phclan , J. E. Berger. The bond and
petition of Jos. Braun was laid over
for two weeks.
Most people do not observe the re
quirements of an ordinance for the "love
they bear it , " but usually because the
penalty attached makes such observance
clear to their minds. Therefore we
would suggest that future ordinances
be drafted with this condition of affairs
in view. In this emergency the ordi
nances so passed witfbc of some effect.
Don't forget the school district elec
tion at the Church building , Monday
evening. Let there be a full turnout
of those interested in educational mat
ters. The subject of bonds , school site ,
etc. , will come up before the meeting.
We understand that a site has been
sclectcu upon which all agree -uid in
which there is general satisfaction.
Turn out !
At the village election held Tuesday ,
April 1st , the "entire old Board of Trus
tees , with the exception of G.r. \ . Dan
iels , who desired to be relieved , were
elected. J. R. Phelan being the new
member. The election was chiefly not
able for the absence of excitement at
the polling place or elsewhere , in fact it
amounted almost to a lack of interest.
The vote polled was very small.
From the style of the Marshals , and
their modus operandi , we think Tom
JQill perfectly safe. We are informed
that two of thebe brave gentlemen re
cently set forth from Culbertson in a
buggy and armed with shot-guns to cap
ture the redoubtable Ilill. Those U.
S. M.'s must have been exceedingly
fresh possibly needed transplanting.
A battalion of such men can't take Tom.
At the primary held Saturday , the
following delegates were elected to rep
resent Willow Grove precinct in the
County Convention , which meets next

H. Boyle , A. McG. Robb , Geo. White ,
Win. Coleman , Vance McManigal , S. L.
Green , I. J. Starbuck and J. E. Berger.
The little daughter of Mr. Nickclson ,
the account of the breaking of whose
arm was in last week's paper , had the
misfortune to break the same arm again
by falling down the cellar steps at Rev.
Dungan's residence , last Thursday.
There are two doors in the room in
which the child was , one leading into
an adjoining room , and the other down
into the cellar. The child mistook the
cellar door for the other one , and was
precipitated to the cellar , with the re
sult above stated. Dr. Willey re-set
the broken member.
The wind storm of Thursday after
noon seems to have infused quite a
"moving spirit" into things west of
McCook. At Akron , a section of thereof
roof of the round house was blown off ;
and near parts of a number of water
tank roofs were carried off. The wind
is reported to have blown a strongsteady
breeze to the alarm of the people. The
wind is described as having lifted part
of the round house roof at Akron up
twice before removing it entirely. After
the second lifting one Irishman remark
ed to a fellow-workmen of the Celtic
origin : "Jimmie , that's twice , the
third time she goes , we go. " And they
went and crawled under a box car
near. The third time she went. "
A large stock of wall paper just re
ceived and for sale cheap.
' S : L. GREEN. '
occurred last Thursday afternoon , SOYCD
car-loads of coal "were blown1 < mt on the
main track from the side track at Ak
ron , Colo. , and impelled by the terrific
force of the gale then blowing , and
aided by down grade coming' east from
Akron , came down the road ata40-gait
Every precaution was taken to avoid
collision with No. 39 which had already
left McCook , also , No. 84 , a freight train
which occupied the road between this
station and Akron. No. 39 was side
tracked at Wray , and very shortly after
wards the wild train went rushing past ,
running 40 miles an hour. The run
away cars continued on theirmad career
until they were caught by the engine
pulling No. 84 , a few miles east of Ben-
kelman , by making a running couple.
Although two breaks were set on the
runaway cars , they made about 100
miles of the road , and at places actually
run at the rate of 40 miles an hour.
The speed was > considerably less at dif
ferent points along'the route.
April 1st was "All Fool's Day" of
averity , or at least all were sublimely
mistaken in the weather of the day.
The proceeding day closed with every
indication of a fine morrow , but very
different was the reality. Tuesday was
n all respects one of the most disagreeable -
able _ days in many weeks. Reports from
the west indicate that probably the most
severe storm of the past winter raged
in that vicinity on Tuesday. All trains
were delayed , and traffic almost sus
pended for awhile. No. 40 was delayed
10 hours , arriving in McCook at 3:30 :
Wednesday morning , detained by the
snow which drifted badly , and also by
the trucks of an engine getting derailed.
We are informed that the snow was
from 10 to 12 inches deep on the level ,
and consequently much deeper in cuts
as the fierce wind drifted it badly. The
storm extended as far cast as Stratton.
The loss of stock must have been great
during Tuesday and night , but no re
ports authentic have reached us as yet.
The railroad men report a large num
ber having been killed by the cars.
Ambition has lured many on to an
untimely death , and such will be the
ultimate result of some of these abor
tive , spasmodic attempts at 'Tunning
the town , " in cowboy parlance. Thurs
day afternoon of last week , Frank Rich
ards , who runs the miserable doggery
at Benkelman , came down to McCook
with the evident intent to conduct the
affairs of our town as suited his whim.
By night-fall , he was wild with liquor
and bellowed around town the entire
night in a style that would have done
credit to a yearling Texan steer , inter
spersing the program with an occasional
discharge of his 45. Friday morning
he proceeded to the McCook Hotel , and
assumed the management of that hos-
tlery. When Mr. Colvin took occasion
to remonstrate with the drunken bully ,
he was slapped in the face and beaten
over the head with the murderous 45 in
the hands of his assailant. Mr. Colvin
had Richards arrested , and he was
brought before Squire Fisher who fined
him $10 and costs. We are sorry the
Squire did not impose a much larger
fine , and also when the prisoner acted
so outrageously during the trial that he
did not fine him heavenly for contempt
of court. Another thing , isn't it unus
ual to bring a prisoner before a justice
with a revolver and belt of cartridges
strapped around his waist. lie should
have been disarmed at all hazards. Af
ter paying his fine , the Benkelman bully
paraded the streets , swearing and yell
ing until the noon train , when he de
parted for home , evidently satisfied with
the manner in which he had conducted
our municipal affairs. The crying need
of McCook is a cooler where such
wretches can be incarcerated until so
ber , and until we have some place to
put sunh parties we are liable to have
the peace of our village disturbed at
any time. Build a cooler !

Who can live life over ? as the poet
said. But we can live a revised edition
of it. You can remember some friend
who has no lumber , and advise him to
call at Pike's Lumber Yard and inspect
his fresh stock and there will be as
much joy in that heart as in days of old
when valentines were prized more than
now. Also a full assortment of build

At tire Driftwood Republican caucus ,
last Saturday , an effort was made to
disqualify T. G. Eaton for voting or tak
ing any part in the proceedings on the
plea that he was a Democrat. The same
objection has been raised by the same
person at nearly every Republican cau
cus for the last six or seven years. Now
these continued eructations of a disor
dered stomach against a man whose
honor is unimpeachcd and who is and
always has been a staunch and consist
ent Republican has become disgusting
and monotonous.
A young man who attends the Tail-
ton Sunday School , when the hat was
passed a few Sunday's ago , feeling in a
benevolent mood wished to contribute
his "mite , " but on looking over his
money found that a nickel was his
smallest change , and feeling that that
was four cents more than he could afford
to give , even to assist the S. S. work ,
put his hand in the hat and took out
four cents and then dropped in what
was supposed to be a nickel ; but when
the officer came to count the money ,
the much looked for nickel was absent.
We are of the opinion that if they. in.
had been better supplied with sense
when he came he would have had less
cents ( by three ) when he went away.
