It is not generally known that a match
may be lighted readily when scratched
on a pane of glass. To those who have
been accustomed to seeing people search
for a rough surface on which to scratch
a match , it may appear startling. Not
only ordinary matches , but even the
safety matches , usually unlightable ex

can be lighted on glass.

They are trying again to scare high

The Methodist church of McCook ,
through the proper official source , has
tendered an invitation to Rev. Mastin

hopes that his services may be secured
by the Methodist brethren of our city.
The Minden people are very desirous
of retaining him ; but the Elder is an
enthusiastic admirer of McCook , and
there is a fair prospect of his being
sent here.
Sporting circles were in a consuming
fever of excitement , last Saturday , over
the extraordinary turf events of that
day. There were two races. Major's
bay filly being matched against Noble's
black filly , and Lewis' dark bay gelding
against Steinmetz' sorrel gelding. As
but two could win , Noble and Steinmetz
had to be content with the crumbs of
defeat while Majors and Lewis pounced
upon the more succulent spoils of vic
tory with avidity. It is said on authority
of one whose head is still ringing that
in the evening the welkin rang to the
spirituous inspiration of potent pota
tions , insomuch that a local drought was
narrowly averted. And the boys are
still laughing over the affair.
The Box Elder reunion came to a
most auspicious close , last Saturday.
The attendance , considering everything ,
was large , and the interest unflagging.
The reunions of the Veterans' Associa
tion of Box Elder , in fine , have the
quality of improving each succeeding
year. The Doyle grove where the vet
erans and their friends annually assem
ble is one of the most charming spots
on the Willow and splendidly adapted
for the purpose. Friday was the day
ofchiefest interest , and the reunion
was most numerously attended on that
date. The' McCook band and a large
delegation of our citizens were present
and added quite largely to the general
interest. Hon. T. J. Majors made the
principal address , J. C. Allen , J. B.
Cessna and. others making a few re
marks. With speeches , music , recita
tions , reminiscences- . , the old com
rades and their guests enjoyed a large
and juicy season of recreation and
pleasure.
Nebraska Land Decisions.
At the interior department to-day
( Saturday ) Assistant Secretary Chand
ler considered the appeal of Christian
M. Kinsinger from the decision of the
land commissioner rejecting his applica
tion to make timber a culture entry for
the southwest quarter of the northeast
quarter of the southeast quarter of the
northeast quarter of the southwest
quarter of section 1 , township 5 north ,
range 33 west , McCook , Neb. It appears
that Kinsinger brought contest against
the entry of one Tacke covering said
tract and procured the cancellation of
the same. Notice of cancellation was
given to Kinsinger's attorney inDcoem-
ber , 1887 , and in January , 1888 , Charles
P. Peck made a timber culture entry
for the land. Two months afterward
Kinsinger applied to enter the tract ,
but his application was rejected on ac
count of Peck's entry. Kinsinger then
claimed to be entitled to the preference
of right of entry. Upon hearing it was
found that Kinsinger's attorney in the
Tacke case made a charge of $10 for
services , which he refused to pay.
Then , to get even , when the attorney
received notice of the cancellation of
Tacke's entry he refused to send notice
to Kinsinger. Assistant Secretary
Chandler says that whatever may be the
merits of that controversy it is clear
that notice was properly sent to the at
torney of record and service upon an
attorney is service upon a client. Under
the law Kinsinger was obliged to make
entry within thirty days from such ser
vice in order to secure his preference
right. The officers of the government ,
having done their duty , are in no man
ner responsible for Kinsinger's default
and the interests ofthepresententrymen
can not be prejudiced by any misunder
standing that may exist between Kin-
singer and his attorney. The decision
of Commissioner Groff is therefore
affirmed.
Monday of this week the interior de
partment affirmed the decision of the
commissioner of the general land office
in dismissing the contest of Clarence
H. Usboin against the timber culture
entry of Francis M. Crow and refusing
Osborn's preference to the right of en
try for northeast quarter of section 13 ,
north of range 29 west , McCook land
district.
Located and Recovered One.
July 4th , the B. & M. loaned a
few wheel-barrows to the celebration
committee for use in the barrow races
on that occasion. When the committee
came to return them it was discovered
that two wheel-barrows were missing ,
and no clue to the thief was then dis
covered. The first of this week , how
ever , Marshal Bennett , armed with a
search warrant , invaded the recently
deserted premises of Bill Enyeart in
South McCook , without bagging any
game. Extending the search to the
premises of Bill's sister , Rose Penny on
the valley , one of the missing barrows
was brought to light. As Enyeart had
removed to his father-in-law's
- - , near
Cambridge , no action was commenced
by the company.
Foreclosure Proceedings.
A passing interest in The Great
Western Watch Factory of Indianola
is revived by the commencement , last
week , of foreclosure proceedings against
that greatest fake that ever gulled an
unsophisticated people. The proceed
ings were instituted by the Lincoln
Land Co. The amount is the small and
insignificant sum of $23,000 , ( a mere
bagatelle to the Great Western Watch
Factory of Indianola , Neb. , ) due the
land company for real estate purchased
by the watch factory corporation , in the
halcyon and vociferous days of its ver
dant youtbfulness , before the evil days
came and it disappeared in the tureen
without so much as causing a ripple on
the placid surface of the consomme.
He is How in Hock.
A young individual named Samuel
Richards is now boarding with Sheriff
McCool at Indianola , Marshal Bennett
having delivered him over to the keep
ing of the genial sheriff on Saturday
evening last. Richard's crime was en
deavoring to lay up treasures on earth
rather expeditiously and irregularly , by
misrepresentation , having secured about
$60 from the Bank of McCook in this
way , last week. Squire Colvin bound
him over to the next term of district
court in the sum of $500 , and in default
he was jailed. The bank recovered a
portion of the money.
Tapped the Till.
Between the hours of ten and eleven
o'clock , Monday night , the till of C. M.
Smith & Son's drug store was touched
to the amount of about $75 in cool
cash. The party had evidently hidden
in the basement of the store before
closing time ; and in the interim between
closing the store and retiring for the
night , ( the junior member's bedroom is
in the rear part of the building ) while
Mr. Smith was absent , the robbery was
perpetrated.
Lacked the Nerve.
The county commissioners , or rather
Messrs. Crabtree and Bennett , met at
Indianola , Saturday last , and adjourned ,
lacking the nerve to order the drawing
of a warrant to pay Snavely and Smith
and Strout for their heroic , manly
efforts in attempting to prove three-
fourths of the voters of Red Willow
county to be perjurers and liars.
