Let's make a strong effort to have a

James Shepherd , an old resident of this

Drunkenness continues prevalent and
will in all probability remain so until
something in the way of a cooler is
provided wherein to allay the overheated -

daily. A cooler will reduce the number
of drunken men on our streets 50 per
cents. We need it , and need it badly.
Some parties drove off twelve head of
sheep for John Evert , who lives in the
bottom eastof town , Tuesday night.
The same bunch was offered for sale by
two drovers to Thos. Ruggles , who lives
a number of miles north of Evert's
place , the next morning. About noon ,
eleven of the sheep returned home , hav
ing in some manner escaped from the
thieves.
There absolutely nothing to be said
in mitigation of the fast riding indulged
in through the business portion of our
town. Every time some thick-pated ,
shallow-brained individuals imbibe one
glass of beer do they exhibit their fee !
tendency. Some innocent little one
will sometime pay the penalty of this
thing with broken limbs or possibly
worse results.
Two real estate transactions occurred

about four miles northwest of town.

Dill committed suicide He was sent
PromHitchcock . county in 1881 for kill
a cowboy named Sam Lucas. He
cured a pocket knife this morning
ind stepping into the gate house , where
'R'as acting as gate keeper , he made
several cuts at his throat. The guard
xrriving on the scene , Dill made a ter
rific : lunge at Ids windpipe and severed
he jugular. In his dying struggle he
ihrew the knife at the guard and then
back a corpse. Dill was 43 years M
age. and leaves a wife and three chil- am
Jr.cn an this city , the eldest 10 years.
THE political measures that have been
adopted for this campaign arc a burning
disgrace to any civilized country. Once
the flood gates of scandal are opened ,
nothing can hold in check the surging
tide of infamy that comes rushing
through.
WE have been of the opinion that the
gate which admitted disaffected demo
crats into the republican fold , would
prove a place of exit for as many repub
licans of the same mental condition , but

it does seem that we have our bourbon
