cut about the head. Mr. Weick in
some manner fell under a moving * sec
tion of the train , his right arm being so
badly crushed as to make amputation
just below the elbow necessary , which
was performed by Dr. A. J. Willey , the

Stutzman. The patient is doing as well
as might be expected under the circum

Says the saloon organ : "THE TRIBUNE
received nearly $400last year , for pub
lishing worthless ordinances , and doing
clerical work. "
The saloon organ's character for truth
and veracity is already so badly smirch
ed that ordinarily we do not pay atten
tion to its prevarications. But as the
above is a mendaciously villainous piece
of misrepresentation , we will note the
truth. The amount received by THE
TRIBUNE for publishing ordinances ,
( which the bung-hole describes as worth-
ess and which by the by were largely
prepared by the present Mayor , then
village attorney , ) from December 8 ,
1883 , to March , 5 , 1886 , was slightly
over two hundred dollars. While the
clerk's salary was $85in all about $300 ,
since December 8 , 1883. Come again.

BAGGED His GAME G. W.Franklin ,
heriff of Frontier county , drove into
the city , last Friday evening , in post
laste , the object of his visit being the
arrest of M. E. Cowan of Stockville ,
vho it seems is responsible for the sud
den death of a young man named Chas.
M. Bracken , who lived on a claim near
Stockville. Besides the two parties al
ready mentioned , Grant Thompson , Mrs.
3gan and Miss Ada Shultz are mixed
up in the unfortunate and fatal affairs ,
which occurred , last Tuesday a week.
The evidence adduced at the inquest
shows that all three of the men were
drunk , alcohol being the beverage used.
Chat the women in the case are not like
Caesar's wife above approach. That
] owan drugged Bracken's alcohol , in
order to get him out of the way tempor
arily. But that the poison administer
ed in a very short time called the young
man , who is described as having been
; enerous hearted and frank to a fault ,
'rom this earthly scene of debauchery ,
'ace to face with His Maker. "Verily ,
the wages of sin is death. The sheriff
started for Frontier county early the
'ollowing morning with his prisoner ,
who will there have to answer for his
errible crime. Strong drink is the
cause of all the trouble , as usual , aud
still men bow before the hydra-headed
monster , crying , "Oh , you temperance
) eople , don't kill it , don't. We know
; hat it ruins and kills our young men
and sends them to untimely and un-
lonored graves , but it really wouldn't
do to kill it. "

COON UP A CORN STALK.
EDITOR TIUHUNE : Eight miles east
of McCook is the farm of J. V. Helm ,
which is in a high state of cultivation ,
and there are as fine crops on his farm ,
as can be found in the county. lie has
a potato patch of 20 acres , which , from
present indications , will yield nearly 200
bushels per acre. The patch is very
clean , almost entirely free from weeds ,
lie raises the largest vegetables , and
his 3-acre melon patch can't be beaten.
But his b'0-acre corn field is what at
tracts the eye. It is just coming into
roasting cars ; some of the stalks arc
over 12 feet high , and of enormous
size. An incident occurred , last week ,
to prove this assertion : Mr. Helm had
just finished his chores , and it was quite
dusk , when his attention was attracted
to the corn field by the furious barking
of his dogs ; thinking they might have a
wild tat at bay , he armed himself with
: i pitch fork , and proceeded to the corn
field. It was quite dusk by this time ,
aud the corn being so rank made it quite
dark ; but he proceeded , being directed
by the noise of the dogs , until he came
to where they were. He experienced
some trouble in discovering the object
of their wrath , until he chanced to cast
his eyes upward and there , some eight
or nine feet from the ground was the
object , it was a coon. The dogs had
treed a coon up a corn stalk.

ANOTHER BRICK The Citizens Bank
folks are preparing to erect a fine two-
story brick building on the lot now oc
cupied by their present quarters. The
new building will be 25x73 feet in di
mension. Leech of Wymore is the con
tractor. Work will commence at once.
Their old building will be moved into
the street , this week yet , and the exca
vation for the cellar started. It is pro
posed to make the new structure a sub
stantial and elegant one , an ornament
to the prominent location it will occu
py. The first floor will be occupied by
the bank , and the second floor will be
divided into offices.
YOUXG man Friday of the demijohn
appears to have a large contract on
hand , just now. In face the aggregate
politics of every imaginable shade and
color in Western Nebraska , seems to be
resting upon his Atlasian shoulders.
Next year , if his I-told-you-so policy
don't trip up by reason of his purblind-
net-s , he will extend his political terri
torial dominion and complacently ab
sorb the state. Well , we should cach
innate !
The Akron gold fever has succumbed ,
only to be replaced by a "coal find" ' ex
citement of proportions. A special train

apparent.
Please remember that I am giving
special bargains in harness goods , and
now is the time to purchase.
