$10,000 , but Mr. Hocknell thinks the
improvement in stock will prove a good
nvestment and as Geo. is a shrewd
inancier we guess it will. Pioneer.
Another horse race occupied the at
tention of the" "boys , " Saturday after
noon. Two races were run. The first
was run by a horse from the Driftwood ,
owned by Mr/Baily , and D. B. Duck
worth's horse from the Beaver ; in which
Mr. Baily's animal , in language classic ,
"got there. ' ' A race was then made
between the Driftwood horse and Star-
buck Bros. ' little dun , and again Mr.
Baily's horse carried off the laurels of
victory.
A gentleman from Atwood , Kansas ,
informed us , Friday , that M. A. Wilson
of that place , who started in last fall
with 2200 sheep , had lost GOO of his
flock up to the date of the late storm ,
and that he lost 300 head during the
continuance of the storm of April 1st.
Also , that of another flock of 1300 that
wintered in that locality , 240 died.
This is certainly a fearful mortality ,
and sort of discounts the Dutchman's

Fred. Carter and John Hensinger
of Cullom , 111. , were-in town , Friday ,
and called at this office. They have
been all through the southern part of

They have their teams with them , and
are prepared to go to work breaking at
once. Cullom , Livingstone county , 111. ,
is doing "yeoman's service" for Red
Willow county in the way of emigra
tion , and still there is land for more.
A gang of robbers operated in Mc
Cook , Monday nightquite successfully.
The parties forced the tin which was
acting as proxy for a pane of glass , in
the door of W. C. LaTourette's store ,
turned the key , which was sticking in
the lock , and thus effected a noiseless
entrance into the building. Indeed so
quietly did they operate that Tom
Adams , who was sleeping in the room
at the time of the robbery failed to
hear them. Mr. LaTourette's loss is
ab'out $75 , the booty consisted mainly
in cutlery , a Smith and Wesson revolver
ver , and a few other articles. Some
Ime , presumably the same party , also
entered the residence of Mrs. Bates
and purloined therefrom a valise and
some articles of wearing apparel. The
parties who committed the robberies ,
evidently knew the "lay of the land. "
\Ve warned our citizens some time
since , and we reiterate the warning.
We want a little of the "eternal vigil
ance"sentiment to get rid of individu
als of the midnight robber species.
' We desire to call the attention of
our readers to the fact that we are
publishing the largest paper in the
county , and as to its merits , we prefer
to have THE TRIBUNE speak for itself.
If you have a neighbor who is not taking
the paper , speak a good word for us , or
send us in their names and we will send
them d sample copy. We are trying to
represent the interests of McCook and
Red Willow county , as they should be ,
and our success depends in a great
measure upon the interest the people
take in THE TIUBUNE , and the patron
age they give us. Nothing speaks bet
ter for a town , than a well sustained
newspaper , and probably no one thing
does more for the advancement of a
town or county. We have a good
county , and let your friends in the
east know about it by sending them
THE TRIBUNE.
For a month past the citizens of
Driftwood have been having a huge
scandal in the shape of an attempted
rape case , and was intended only for
home consumption , until last Saturday ,
when the party charged with the crime
had a preliminary -examination- before
'Squire Smith and acquitted. We will
not offend the public with the details of
a rape case , but since an action has
been brought before the courts , it be
comes public property. The man
charged with such a heinous offence is
John Cruts and the victim
, a 14-year-
old daughter of Stanley Parsons. Com
plaint was first made before 'Squire
Neifert , but a change of venue was
taken to 'Squire Smithwhere , the form
of a trial was hastily gone through , and
he defendant discharged. The father
of the girl is highly incensed at the way
a mockery was made of so grave an
offence , and was in town Monday for
legal advice as to what course he should
pursue. Culbertson Sun.
What the people of this part of the
moral vineyard want is less of this fast
mail service humbug , and a thorough
overhauling of tht present service. A
subscriber at Osborn , not more than 15
miles distant from McCook , writes us
that his paper is delayed sometimes as
long as two weeks before it reaches him.
Where does the responsibility for such
miscarriage lie ? The paper is sent
from this office else it never would
reach said subscriber. Once more , is
there any good reason why McCook
should not have direct mail service be
tween North Platte and Oberlin , instead
of the roundabout tedious route now in
vogue. Under the present regime it
takes over a week to send a letter to
Stoughton and receive an answer to the
same , even if not delayed , and only 10
or 15 miles separate the two offices.
We move for a new count. The increasing -
*
creasing business demands it ; those on
the south side want it , and we ought to
have it. As the mail service is primar
ily intended for the convenience of the
public , there is no question that a move
in this direction will be successful.
In response to the call of Director
Laws , some fifty members of school
district No. 17 met in the church
building , Monday night. This being
the regular yearly meeting of the board ,
the Director read his report of the fi
nancial condition of the district which
also contained the recommendation
that a nine month's term of school be
held. ( We will give a synopis of the
report next week. )
The Treasurer , Squire Fisher , read
his report , which is substantially the
same as the Director's. Moderator McCormick -
Cormick appointed a committeb.to audit
the reports. The committee finding the
same correct , so reported , and recom
mended their acceptance and adoption ,
which action was taken. The meeting
then proceeded to the election of a Di
rector , which resulted in the re-election
of Mr. Laws , unanimously. In the
ballot for Moderator , J. R. Phelan was
the choice of the house.
The important matter of voting school
bonds then occupied the attention of
the meeting. After some discussion
of the subject , a ballot was taken , in
which 38 votes were cast for their issu
ance , and 1 against. The amount voted
was 5 jicr cent , of the valuation of the
district. Said valuation being $94,000 ,
the bonds would amount to a little over
$4,500. As a committee to confer with
Mr. Phillips concerning the selection of
a site for the school house , Messrs.
Campbell , Phelan and C. F. Babcock
were appointed , said committee to re
port at the next meeting. The Moder
ator also appointed Messrs. A. Camp
bell and J. B. Meserve , as a building
committee to act in conjunction with
the Board in the erection of the build
ing. Adjourned to. meet on the 21st of
April , 1834 , at 7 o'clock.
