the suspicion of some 6f our citizens ,
and from circumstances related , it is
not improbable thut the steps taken in

A young man representing the Crete

have dpne'well ' indeed. A row of fine
trees has been planted , on Madisor
street , from J. B. Meserve's corner te
the north corner of J. R. Phelan'i
j property , which will add immensely tc
the appearance of the- street if thej
grow , and with our superb water facil
itics there can be little question bu
that they will. Messrs. Franklin ane
Kenyon have planted "a hedge betweer
their properties. Messrs. LTockuel
and Phelan have planted a row of tree :
around their entire block , and withii
this a row of hedging. They hav <
also planted a row of evergreens , shrub
bcry , and other ornamental plants
which will make their properties tin
handsomest in Sauthwestern Nebraska
Superintendent Campbell also plantee
a row of trees around his residence ane
others in his yard. G. W. Daniel ;
planted a row of trees along the nortl
