there justify the confidence of tho residents.

this being his first visit to McCook since early
in March , when he was taken * down with a
severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism ,
which has kept him in the house ever since
aud still makes itself rather painfully known.
Hou. George Hocknell , on his way from Los
Angeles , Cal. , to McCook , stopped over in this
city , Saturday evening. Mr. Hocknell has
lumber yards in every town in tho Republican
Valley and reproscnts more weulth than any
other one man in that section , and until the
breaking down of his health two years ago ,
he was the leading spirit which has made Mc
Cook what it is to-day. Since ill health over
took him he has lived in Los Angeles , where
he owns a flue 1,000 acre ranch and is stock

The publisher of the Democrat con
tinues to tickle himself and to laugh
most vociferously over the "disastrous s
discord" existing ( ? ) in the ranks of lied I
Willow county llepublicans or rather
in the imagination of the editor ' s mud
dled mentality. The Democrat insults
the intelligence of the Republicans of f
this county if it for a moment enter-
tains the idea that its blundering , awk-
ward attempts to create dissensions m
their ranks are not clearly understood I
and appreciated at their full value.
