His name is Minton , and his father wai

TUB enterprising newspaper Han

Frankie Folsom all over the couutrj
seem to be unaware of the fact that tlu
interesting girl spent her life from four
teen to twenty in a convent school ,
where the ridiculous occurrences relatec
by the omnipresent young man wen
impossible. Give us a rest.
THE disinterested ( ? ) booming of lleg
ister Laws for the state secretaryship
by the bung-hole-ocrats of Hastings ant
this city is simply side-splitting and
mirth-provoking in the extreme. Rich
ard dear and his hoity toity man Friday
of our city are just consuming themselves
with anxiety to browse from the govern
menfccribat this place. Hence the why
ness.
FEIEND BISHOP of the Courier give :
it out sub rosa that he has quit forevei
the political arena the pursuit of po
litical happiness and that the state
senatorial bee no longer buzzeth in his
little political head-gear. His friends
are using their most strenuous endeav
ors to have him reconsider this strange ,
but firm , determination , sad to relate ,
and sorrowful too , without avail. The
loss to future statesmanship will be in
calculable.
HON. Gr. L. LAWS , of McCook , is men
tioned as a probable candidate for sec
retary of state , , and if he will have the
office no more popular or better man
for the place can be found in this end
of the state , or , for that matter , in the
entire state. Homerville Record.
While THE TRIBUNE has no assurance
that Register Laws desires or would ac
cept the nomination occupying as he
does a much more remunerative position
now his nomination would be clearly
the wish of the Republicans of the val
leyif he would accept it.
THE Indians at Rosebud agency went
on a strike the other day. The agent
refused to give them their agricultural
implements unless they would agree to
use them upon land that he designated.
They promptly held a meeting of the
lodge and ordered a strike. They used
the moral suasion so familiar to the
people along the Missouri Pacific , and
to so much effect that the agent handed
over the implements and set up to the
red strikers three barrels ot ; sugar and
a job lot of fancy groceries. The red
man is rapidly becoming civilized.
GE.V. MILES' first experience with
Geronimo has been somewhat discour
aging. That warrior was surprised. , as
it were , and driven from his camp , but
he came right back the same night and
returned the compliment , according to
all reports , killing six of the' soldiers
who were out to fight him. It seems
that Miles has sent back the Indian
„ scouts and proposes to fight white men
alone against the Apaches. It may be
after all that he is not the lightning In
dian fighter that the enemies of the vet
eran Urook have been painting him.
But he has ability , and after a year or
two of experience may come out all right
and capture Geronimo.

.A COMMUNICATION.
lln. EniTon : In your issue of the latl.
inst , your article , commenting 011 Hie actioi
of certain parties on the Driftwood in refer
ence to contested claims , calls for criticism ,
Of the cases to which you refer i know noth
ing , but it is the principle of the tiling Avhicli
1 complain of. Tins contesting business has
grown to be such a manifest evil , th.it some
thing should be done to check it. 1 do not re
fcr to those claims which have been aband
oned , but where the law has been complied
with , i wish to cite one or two instances ,
out of many , which have come under my per
sonal observation. I could give names , but
facts arc suflicient. Last winter , a man who
was laboring fifty miles from ilcCook , re
ceived notice that a contest had been institu
ted against his tree claim located in that vi
cinity , ' contestant alleging that there had
never been , broken , or planted to trees , seeds ,
nuts or cuttings , to exceed five or six acres. "
The claimant , very naturally , felt "somewhat
aroused , " knowing this to be absolutely fake
in every particular , as he had more than
eleven acres by actual measurement broken ,
the whole of which he had caused to be
planted and cultivated as the law requires ,
lie resolved , forthwith , to have contestant
and corroborating witness arrested for per
jury. He left his work and came to ilcCook
for that purpose , but after consulting the
best lawyers , fouud that nothing could be
done till he had substantiated his allegations
at the trial. The day appointed for the trial
came. Clahnmitrvvith his lawyers and wit
nesses were on hand ready to prove that he
had fully complied with the law. When the
contestant was examined he thought , guess
ed , or supposed , that such things were true ,
but could not swear to a single fact. He
wanted the claimant to give him 510.00 to
withdraw the contest "No , " said he , "not
ten cents. I want you to go on with it. " He
could get no witnesses who knew any more
than he , so postponed the trial for two weeks ,
in order as he said to get important witnesses.
When the two weeks were up he never ai > -
peared. Xow , you say if a man has complied
with the law he has nothing to fear. Has he
nothing to fear ? Is it a small tiling for a
man to lose his valuable time and go to the
expense which this man was obliged to do ,
only to gratify a man or set of men , whose
object was robbery ? What remedy would
you propose in a case like this ? i wish to
say right here though , that in a majority of
the instances which have come under my ob
servation the contestant was not so much to
blame as tlui agent who "set him on" and re
ceived pay for it. I had intended to give
another instance or two , but this article is al
ready too long and I forbear , but in conclus
ion 1 must say that bulldozing or not some-
tiling should be done to treat these contes
tants and their agents to a liberal dose of
rawhide. OLD SETTIIK. :
