OUTING SHOES.
It long ago seemed as though
shoes could never be better and
never be cheaper , but they are
better now and cheaper now than
they ever were before. The great
every day favorite is our men's
and ladies' shoe. It is as much a
boon to the pocketbook as it is to
the feet. It won't wear you out
to wear it out. You don't need to
take care of it ; it takes care of
itself. It will give you solid com
fort for the simple reason that a
better shoe for knockabout pur
poses has never been produced.
If prices never appealed to you
before , the price of this shoo will ,
.for it costs only 2.50. It will
look nicer and wear longer than
any shoe on earth.

At the preliminary hearing of Allen
Rice which closed last Friday night ,
the defendant was held by Squire Berry
in $500 bonds to appear at the next
term of district * court. The young

ing decided indications of temper , at
one juncture.
The turning down of Secretary C. W.
Beck of the county agricultural
society , at the meeting Saturday for
the election of officers , is a sequel to
the VanWyck speech episode of the
last meeting of the society. But the
Independents have revenged themselves
by defeating one of the best secre
taries the Red Willow county agricul
tural society has ever had , be their
grievance genuine or fancied , and THE
TRIBUNE regrets the action although
Mr , Beck's successor may be quite effi
cient and worthy.
The presence of mind exercised by
Mrs. C. M. Noble last Friday evening ,
doubtless saved the Noble dwelling
from a serious fire. While Alice
Cochran and Norma Noble were play

from the instrument into Miss Alice's
lap , whence it was unceremoniously
fired to the carpet. The girls fled
from the scene with all sped , their
vigorous screams bringing Mrs. Noble
to the rescue. The broken burning
lamp was thrown out of doors and
finally extinguished.

Make Noble your family grocer and
many other blessings will fall to your
lot , besides having the best groceries on
your table that the market affords.
Tuesday and Wednesday were quite
suggestive of stern winter. Two or
three inches of snow and a stiff north
wester.
The contest inaugurated by Mr. Starr
against Mr. Dodge is of very question
able wisdom and is not likely to issue
in the former's favor.
The public schools will close Friday ,
December 16th , for the holiday vaca

ranging for a Christmas fair and enter
tainment to increase their library and

music , good suppers and a display of

We reproduce about a column of
matter from the Indianola Courier ,
this week , touching upon McCook's
effort to secure the location of one of
the Wesleyan seminaries at this place ,
just to show the possibilities of that
mendaciously slanderous sheet , not as
a matter of news.
The till of A. C. Clyde's saloon , was
tapped on Sunday evening between 8
and 9 o'clock to the tune of about $35.
There have been no arrests , but the
police have pretty well settled cdhvic-
tions as to who are the guilty parties ,
and think the responsibility rests in a
large measure with one employed about
the establishment , as the circumstances
show an intimate knowledge of affairs
about the saloon building.

To make reports more clear and to

changed that the record will show
whether a newly filed mortgage is a

any part of the purchase money and if
so how much. The record of releases

will pay a handsome reward.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Andrew Martin , Jr. . of Danbury
Precinctthe Victim of a
Terrible Accident.
Danbuiy precinct was the scene of
an appalling accident , Sunday afternoon ,
resulting in the instant and horrible
death oF Andrew Martin , Jr. , a highly
esteemed young man of that neighbor
hood , "aged 18 years. It transpires that
young Martin and a young man from
Illinois named Chancellor Mastin , who
was visitintrat the home of the deceas
ed , had just returned from a hunting
expedition , and were about to drive
through the home gate , when the fear
ful accident occurred. Coming to the
gate Mastin got out of the
road cart to open the same ,
Martin remaining in the vehicle
and holding the guns. In some way
one of the guns slipped through the
slat bottom of the cart , catching
on the trigger of the gun ,
which was discharged , the terrible
load of shot at such close range enter
ing Martin's face about the left eye ,
literally tearing the top of the unfortu
nate man's head off.
Young Martin's frightful death has
cast a deep shadow of sorrow over that
entire community.
'Ihe remains were buried at Danbury -
bury on Monday afternoon.

Last of Their Race ,

Jones on account of business deals in
Kansas and secured an attachment on
iis bunch of bison. He made a motion
to dissolve the attachment , but Judge
Dundy Tuesday overruled the motion.
Dhe buffaloes , therefore , are in hock
until the suit of the Massachusetts
concern is determined , and , as it seems
nrobable that the bank will get judg
ment , this melancholy renmant of a
once great race is likely to be knocked
