The pop ulation as given of this city will be an unpleasant surprise to our people , who almost universally and most confidently though that the pbpulation of McCook would reach fully 1,500 souls.

The pro ject is a most laudable and sensible one , and will doubtless , as it should , meet with the hearty co-operation of every , business man in that part of town. The risk they are now running is all out of proportion to the cost of a hydrant and some hose , a risk that no business nian can afford to run. Last Monday , a new town named Kingston was laid out in Arapahoe county , Colo. The site as surveyed is about 6 miles from the east line of the county , and about centrally located as to north and south lines ot county , in a beautiful scope of country. The site is owned by an association comprised principally ot'Benkelmen business men , who will develop the town as rapidly as that growing country demands. J. E. Castberg , our deputy county surveyor , surveyed the site. Those who observed the "head-light smile" which suffused " playfully "Neigh bor" Archibald's countenance , this morning , will understand'the why is it thus" when they learn that a 12 pound boy baby , who "looks just like his pa , " put in an appearance at the Archibald residence , Wednesday night , and as "Neighbor" has been living in joyous anticipation of the advent of an heir ap parent for some time , he unanimously adopted the young man , with an exhi bition of gleeful mirth from which h had not recovered this morning.

The people of Red Willow are happy over the prospects for a grist mill. J. "W. Pickle , the well-known miller of Cambridge , has secured a mill site and water privilege on Jacob Randel's farm , near the mouth of the Willow , and is busily engaged in delivering the neces sary material for a new building , etc. He has had a force of ten or fifteen men at work for the past three weeks , and hopes are entertained that the mill , which will be first-class in every partic ular , will be completed this fall. This point affords one of the best mill priv ileges in Red Willow county , and will doubtless give that locality quite a boom. Last Sunday evening , Wm. Crock- fdrd's large two-story vceidenoe in West iJeCook was entirely consumed b } fire. It appears that a lamp exploded in one of the rooms on the first floorand , that in an incredibly short time the flames had communicated with the upper story , by means of the stairway , thus com pletely cutting off the only way of ap proach to that part of the building , con sequently nothing was ? : ivcil from the upper floor. Everything of value on the ground floor was taken out. Through scarcity of water and appliances no at tempt could be made to extinguish the flames , which burned rapidly and furi ously. The small residence on the south of the burning building was kept thor oughly wet , and thus saved , although the heat was intense. Mr. Crockford's loss will be heavy , as his house and con tents were only insured for about $800 the same being in the Phenix. Mr. Crockford is now absent some where in the east. 25P ° Hallack & Howard for Lumber and all kinds of Building Material. Two horses valued at $375 , the prop erty of two men who were en route from one of the eastern counties of this state to this locality , were drowned in the Red Willow , near its mouth , early Sunday morning. It appears that both of the uien were pretty full of ] ndian- ola's ' -'school-fund liquid , " and that in driving along the road which follows a bend in the creek very ciosely , and the water being over the banks and a foot or two deep on the road , they drove the team into a deep hole , where the horses were quickly drowned , the men evidently being in no condition to afford them any assistance. The harness and other prop erty were recovered. They took the train east , Monday. IElF ° Hallack & Howard for Lumber and all kinds of Building Material.
