Lately a friend in South McCook has been
observing the members of his poultry depart
ment growing beautifully less in a rather
disheartening maimer. Determining to solve
the mysterious disappearance belaid in wait
for the midnight purloiner , loaded for bear.
He was presently astonished to see a neigh
bor appropriating choice specimens of his
feathery tribe and making off with them.
The neighbor was persuaded to let the fowls
remain on their accustomed perch aud was
allowed to go unmolested , upon promising
to return those already taken , some thirty in
all.
Every stone wall has two sides , and so has
every subject. The man who looks at but
one side of the wall can have no right con
ception of its strength and durability , nor of
the skill of the workmen who erected it , and
the man who looks at but one side of a sub
ject , aa most men do , is but poorly qualified
to render a just decision. Selfishness is the
controlling principle in most men , and they
refuse to look at any side of a question or en
tertain any thought or suggestion that is not
calculated to better their iuterests. There is
but very little hunting after truth for truth's
sake , and yet in no other way can the truth
be so readily and easily obtained.
Small grain is in a most nourishing condi
tion. The season has been cool and especial"
ly favorable in all respects to a vigorous
growth of wheat , oats , barley , etc. Wheat
and bailey have commenced to head out. The
weather has not been warm enough to push
corn forward , but it is in a most splendid and
promisng condition. It is said that the moist
ure in the earth is sufficient to insure a good
growth of crops and tine ripening of a great
harvest. The prospects are better for this
season than for five years past. The squirrels
have been unusually annoying this year and
tliis is accounted for by some to the scarcity
' '
of crops last season. TJie 'lUt\e \ pests travel
| l | on ' distance to reach the corn hills , but
the damage Is not very great.

TROURLE ON THE DRIFTWOOD.
Quite a delegation of Driftwood people n\\- \
peared before Squire Hiiiburd. Tuesday , as
principals and witnesses in the ca > e of the
state of Nebraska versus John Kolb , the com
plaining witness being William F. Eshcr , an
almost helpless invalid for four years past.
The original charge was assault with intent
to kill , and with the numerous array of wit
nesses at hand , the case promised to be on' !
of considerable interest aud dimension.
However , after some preliminary investiga
tion and the submittal of a petition signed
by a majority of peopluof that section , against
the prosecution of the case , the matter was
finally compromised , Kolb pleading guilty to
the charge of simple assault and was fined in
the sum of So , with trimmings. The unhap
py affair is doubtless traceable to a difficulty
of years' standing over a quarter of land
which Eslier and Kolb have jointly occupied
for four years past ; and troubles of one kind
or another have arisen from time to time , of
a more or less trivial character. Some two
weeks since the Secretary of the Interior de
cided the case in Esher's favor and the pres
ent case of assault is perhaps to be credited
to the. hard feelings resulting therefrom
Kolb being still on the land. L'here is a di
versity of opinion among the neighbors as
to tlie merits of the case. Mr. Kolb , however ,
was in grievous error in assaulting a helpless
invalid with aclub , even though the provoca
tion might have been great. Now that the
matter is settled , it is to be devoutly wished
that it remain so. Neighbor and neighbor
hood differences are ever unfortune in their
results , bad blood is aroused , hard feelings
engendered , bitterness entailed. They are
altogether bad and without a redeeming feat
ure. Good people , avoid them !
ALDERfilANIC ACTS.
Board of councilmen met in regularsession ,
Wednesday evening , transacting business as
follows. Present , Mayor McEntee , Clerk
Anderson , Aldermen Allen , Dixon and Mc-
Inroy. Bill of Martin l'arger , forsprinkling
streets , one month , $75 allowed. Iteport of
Police Judge for month of May approved.
Petition of It. K. Woods , asking that a per
mit to build a frame building on second lot
north of the Arlington House , be granted ,
said building to cost not less than S ; " > 00.
Clerk was instructed to issue such permit
when building is definitely located. The fol
lowing resolution was passed , Mclnroy , Dix
on and Allen voting aye :
IlKsor.vKi ) , By the Mayor and City Coun
cil of the City of McCook , Bed Willow , Neb
raska , in regularsession ,
That the Mayor be authorized to enter into
contract with the Lincoln Land Co. for the
erection of two fire hydrants to be located
as follows : One at the northeast corner of
block 27 , and one at the southeast corner of
block 20. Adjourned.
THE TRANSFER EFFECTED.
On Tuesday morning the transaction was
closed transferring the First National bank
building and lot to Mr. Charles II. Smith , a
prominent capitalist of Hartford , Conn. , the
consideration being § 7,050 , a very moderate
figure for so valuable a property. It is the
purpose of the First National people to pro
ceed at once in tiie erection of a much hand
somer building on the corner opposite the
Commercial House. And it may be added
right here that their new quarters will be by
far the finest and richest in this section of
Nebraska. The Babcock and Morlan build
ings will go up at the same time.
HYDRANTS AND TROUGHS.
Councilmen Dixon and Allen , the commit
tee appointed to locate the additional fire
plugs and the water troughs determined up
on by the city council , have decided upon the
following points : Corner Dudley and Mac-
farland ; comer Dudley and Main ; corner
Denver and Madison ; corner Railroad and
Marshall. The watering troughs on Dennison
between Main and Marshall ; and on Macfar-
land , between Dennison and Dodge.
BURGLARS ARROAD.
The general merchandise store of Wilcox
& Fowler on West Dennison street was the
scene of burglarious operations , Thursday
night. Entrance was foredd in the rear of
the building. The extent of loss is not de
finitely known. However , some shoes , neck
ties , etc. , are gone. No attempt was made
to get into the safe or money drawers. Boyd's
saloon was also entered tiie same night and
some beer taken. No clue.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
President Cochran of the Board of Trade is
in receipt of a proposition from Jaeggi &
Schuppach of Columbus , this state , to put in
an electric light plant at this place. These
gentlemen could doubtless secure a franchise
aud liberal patronage. We hope they may
come aud look over the ground and decide to
place the plant here.
REAL ESTATE AND LOANS.
C. J. Ryan , lately removed to our city from
Grafton , lias opened a real estate and loan
office on East Dennison street , opposite the
Arlington House , lie is prepared to make
real estate loans at tne lowest rates and has
a large list of choice farms for sale. See his

Arrangements are being made by the strik
ing engineers aud firemen to boycott the mer
chants who sell goods brought to the city over
the lines of the B. & M. If carried into effect
this would make a boycott upon nearly all of

the leaUingstrikers have been interviewed but
have nothing to say on the matter , some of
them denying point blank that there is such a
move on foot. Committees have or will be ap
pointed to visit the merchants and attempt to
have them enter into an agreement not to sell
goods which come over the B. & M. It is not
probable from what The JouuxAb can leant
that the merchants will enter into any such
agreement. Lincoln State Journal.
