A large force of men have been and
are now at work digging trenches along
Railroad street , for the additional water
mains , which it is purposed to lay along
thatstreet. . Among other improve
ments to the system , a large reservoir
is to he dug below the pump house , and
the same is to be connected with the
river by trench , through which the riv
er water is to be filtered into the re
ceiving reservoir. This will be a great
improvement and a needed one. The
wafer procured in this way will be far
superior to the present liquid. With a
large reservoir in the bottom , the addi
tion of another pump and a larger dis
tributing reservoir on the hill , we will
have the finest system in this state. -
THAT TRIAL.
Well , we have again been in the
throes pf the law , or the law has been
in anguish unspeakable , as you please.
The case of the State of Nebraska vs.
Black , in which Wallin is the complain
ing witness , and in the which the de
fendant , J. F. Black , is charged with
assault and battery , came up before
Justice Fisher , Monday morning , occu
pying the entire day and the major portion
tion of Tuesday. The case was proba
bly the most closely contested one that
has ever occurred in McCook. Every
step in the procedure was marked by
objections from one side or the other ,
only retreating to take another position ,
and the trial soon drifted into one of
personalities , and the case was unneces
sarily retarded by wrangling and bick
ering that ought never to have been
suffered by any court , not to mention
the fact that it was most unbecoming
conduct. The game is a poor one
when it lacks fruition. The doubly-
condensed and highly heated atmos
phere in the court room ever and anon
assumed a dramatically lurid aspect ,
and beholders were humorously remind
ed of the palmy days of "Tie-Pecker"
litigation , when the ends of justice
were considered not to have met unless
the brilliant claret was drawn from
somebody's proboscis or somebody's eye
became draped in mourning. But , we
digress. After dragging along almost
two days , the testimony was at last all
heard , and the counsel pro and con had
their finale. Justice Fisher then ren
dered a decision to the effect that there
was no probable cause of com plain tand ,
the prisoner was therefore discharged ,
and taxing the costs of the suit to the
complainant to the latter clause of
which the plaintiff's counsel took excep
tion.
There is no question but that the old
lad } ' , Wallin , ( who was unable to be
present by reason of her injuries , ) re
ceived a broken jaw ai the hand of de
fendant Black. This was not denied ,
but the plea of defense was. that the
defendant was justified in so doing by
reason of existing circumstances. We
have not the space to give even a resu
me of the testimony on this or any of
the points , nor is there any great prob
ability that our readers would be great
ly enlightened thereby at any rate.
The defendant then had Ed. Wallin ar
rested for assault and battery , and
young Fry , who manipulated the un
loaded artillery so effectuallyfor assault
and battery , with murderous intent.
The trial of this case will take place
September 17th.
It appears that the trouble arose be
tween the parties primarily concerning
a horse. Secondarily , Ed.Wallin sought
to induce the defendant to apologize for
a remark he had made derogatory to the
family , the pursuader being the bullwhip -
whip aforesaid. That defendant was
getting the whip-hand of his assailant ,
as it were , and that young Fry and the
old lady bobbed up serenely to the res
cue , in the which the o. 1. received her
injuries.
* The trial attracted the attention of
many of our citizens , and the rulings
and finding of the court are pretty se
verely criticised the general expecta
tion and opinion being that the defend
ant would be bound over to the District
Court.
Nursery agents are active this season ,
each claiming to represent the best
nursery. In choosing which to pur
chase from , it is well to remember that
the Crete Nurseries , Crete , Neb. , are
located on the main line of the B. & M.
R. R. , only a few hours from our doors.
They have by far the largest nursery in
the state , ; the } ' offerer their own growth
one hundred and twenty acres of trees
and plants suited to Nebraska. They
employ at this time over forty hands
and pay over one thousand dollars
monthly for labor. This money is kept
in circulation in the state. They are
within reach and compelled by ordinary
business prudence to have stock true to
name. Working their agents on salary
instead of commission , they can sell
cheaper than other nurseries , running
men on commission. They have been
in the business at Crete twelve years
and can point to hundreds of fine bear
ing orchards planted from their trees.
Our readers should notice their offer in
another column to those who will pur
chase one hundred dollars or more , giv
ing a free ride to the nursery and back.

DIED.
McGRIFF On the afternoon of July
3d , 1884 , Martha McGriff , lacking
but a few months of being 27 years
of age.
The tiansfer of the soul or spirit
from this body to one that is pure and
spotless , bearing the likenesss of our
body here , but of transcendent clear
ness , susceptible of showing the exact
coloring.of the soul that is to inhabit
it , there will need be no questions ask
ed , nor the trying palm of any decep
tion , for every spiritual house will show
the exact perfections or imperfections
of its inhabitant , for as we build in this
life , so will our spiritual buildings ap
pear in the heavens above , when we go
to take possession of it. Well might
Martha McGriff say , that she had no
fears after death , it was only the pains
of the transition that she dreaded.
To-day she inhabits a house not made
by earthly hands , but by him who said ,
"I go to prepare a place for you. " And
judging from the standpoint of this life ,
hers must be a beautiful abode.
ARE THEY/ WAITING FOR US ?
Yes , over on Hint other shore ,
Stands our friends , and thousands more ,
Watching ami waiting on the other shore ,
To add to their number just one more.
Martha lias gone to join that host ,
Whose army covers her entire coast ,
Watching and waiting on the shore
To welcome home just one more.
Oh , melhinks I heard the sound ,
As she approached the heavenly ground ;
Watching and waiting was their song ,
So soft , so mellow , and so long.

Our otherwise peaceful village has

for the past week , owing to some pend

A most disgraceful drunken fray took
place at Danbury , one day last week.
We have not been able to gain full par
ticulars. It seems one of the partici
pants took the precautions to hide his
money , but his memory failed him when
he became thoroughly drunk. He ac
cused some of the party ( most of whom
were drunk also ) of stealing it. The
accusation was resented in such a way
as to prove very detrimental to clothing
and finally succeeded in disrobing sev
eral of the party. One of them rushed
into the house and when he next appear
ed on the stage of action was arrayed
in one of his wife's garments. Mount
ing a horse rode over the prairie at a
break-neck speed. Frightening some of
the ladies and proving a general nuis
ance. Why is it that otherwise respect
able men will ( purposely as it were )
make such abominable brutes of them
selves just for a few draughts of the
accursed. The experience Red Willow
county has had during the past few
weeks in her various towns lias proved
that nothing short of prohibition will
ever protect her people from such dis
reputable and contemptible scenes.
