An old settler is among us , who has been away for years. A hunter before he became a settler , and has killed buffalo - falo where the round house and machine shops now stand in McCook. In talking with this old friend , William - liam Springer , old times are brought very close : who has died and who mar- tied-where this one went and what became - came of the other. Many of the remembrances - membrances cannot be talked about in promiscuous.comPattY. "Such gossip . ! " said a prominent person , one day. Yes , gossip in connection with common , every-day folks , but history with Shelley - ley , aild Byron , and Wagner , and Von Bulow , and Ruskin , and Millais-litera- : } lure when used by Bret Harte , Ouida and Zola. I often wonder how many , now , are aware of the kaleidoscopic character of the early settling of the county. l Mr. Springer assisted at the first burial-that ; of the Indian squaw , who was wounded in the slaughter of the Pawnees by the Sioux , near where Stratton in which this squaw was. I had always heard that an Indian was too stoical to make any kind of demonstration in either i pain or pleasure ; but I was much touched - ed by the suppressed moans of this poor woman. There are , as usual , many different - ferent versions of this massacre , but the one heard at the time , considered reliable - ble and accepted by the government agent is-the Pawnees on their annual hunt , their meat' dried and packed , were camped in a canyon on their way back , Qld Whistler's band of Sioux , still under the surveillance of the soldiers , allowed to be off their reservation , kept watch of their hereditary enemies , the Paw- nees. Early on this eventful manning , as soon as it was light , they were seen by an old hunter , passing his dugout , rigged out in paint and feathers , on the war path. In a short time they returned - turned , jubilant over their success. The surprise for the Pawnees was complete. Many were killed outright , but all the ' braves who could , fled , leaving their meat , tepees , hides , robes and squaws and pappooses. The Sioux made quick work with their butchery of the women and children. Some days afterwards a passing - ing hunter saw this squaw lying in the grass , dead , as he thought. Finding her still alive , he took her in his wagon , to where she could be cared for. This Mr. and Mrs. Kerns did , but their kindness was of no avail. She lived a week , Dr. Shaw doing what he could to alleviate - ate her suffering She was buried on the bank of Coon creek and her grave was recently repaired and marked by another old settler , E. S. Hill. The first , and as far as I know the only murder committed in the county , was while Mr. Springer was sheriff. In this case , he acted as coroner , also. We have not lived far enough past that time to give the details-but-a ; claim was jumped-the jumper was killed- Circumstantial - i cumstantial evidence pointed to the owner - er of the claim , who had made threats. He was arrested. At that time there was no jail in the county and while waiting for District Court to be held , the accused was sent to Plum Creek jail. ' Here he was allowed much liberty. Several other prisoners , horse and cattle thieves , planned to make their escape and urged him to join them. In telling me about it afterwards , he said he "had done nothing to be put in jail for , and he was not going to act like a criminal" ; that he didn't fear a fair trial.-The testimony given was not such to prove his guilt , so he was cleared , while nearly every juror believed him guilty. Some have always held that he was a victim of conspiracy-others still maintain he was the murderer , while yet others , holding that opinion at the time , became convinced afterwards that he was a wronged , innocent man. It has been said ' Murder will out"yet the years have kept this secret and. the mystery will probably never be solved , until the perpetrator appears before the Court of Final Resort , where every man will be judged according to the deeds done in the body. And when I recall that old white-haired man , whose life was not blameless , I can but wish that when he is summoned before tlieHigher Tribunal , ' - that the findings , in this case , at least , will clear him , as when he was on trial in one of the early courts , held in Red Willow Co. cents-at McConnell - Ice cream soda-5 nell Buy a patent lever hose coupler from . , t.

Unless Judge Welty asks for the resignation - ignation of court reporter John Stevens , the people will believe that the latter has access to the Judge's private letter file , as did another illustrious gentle- man..Court Reporter Stevens comes in for a full share of censure for his disgraceful - graceful conduct in the Blauvelt case. He permitted his prejudice and personal feeling to influence his official as well as his private actions. He was so bitterly partial that it was hardly possible for him to be civil in his public declarations concerning the matter. The public generally - erally deprecates such unofficial conduct , and it is to be hoped that Mr. Stevens has learned a lesson and will profit by it..The course pursued by Judge Wel- ty in the Blauvelt case has been open to the severest criticism and has lost him many supporters. Through his willful disregard for precaution or careless and ignorant mismanagement , a prisoner convicted of a heinous , crime has been permitted to escape , after his prosecution - tion had cost the county a large amount of money , of a time when the people were illy able to stand it. The Tribune is too charitable to place any credence in the talk of bribery so freely and openly - ly charged by many. We are inclined to the opinion that the Judge made a mistake , and although he may regret it , the harm is done , and he will have to abide the consequences.-Beaver City Tribune. Water tax due July 1st 1895. THE TRIBUNE has a nice fish story on ice for next week. Send to Lewis W. . Smith , Indianola , for abstracts. It begins to'look like we are going to have a'91 corn crop. PYthian Decoration Day was observed by the McCook lodge on Tuesday. Lewis W. Smith , having purchased J. B. lather's abstract books , is prepared - ed to make correct abstracts. Fifteen ( I5) ) cents will buy a box of nice writing paper at this office , containing - taining ' 4 sheets of paper and 24 envel- opes. In our list of names of veterans whose graves were decorated , this year , we failed to mention Peter Groves , who is the only new addition to the number of old soldiers now at rest in Longview cemetery. A friend writes us from Madison county - ty , Illinois , that they have had to plow up their wheat and seed to corn , and that times are hard there. And that is in the great agricultural state of Illinois. The county fair will be held on the 9th , loth , Itth and 12th of September. Make your arrangements to exhibit something at the fair in at least one of the several departments. We ought to have a rousing , successful fair this season. THE TRIBUNE learns with regret of the unfortunate mental condition of Dr. \V. D. Trinque of Frontier county , who has become quite insane. It is stated that the Doctor's mind , recently became unbalanced through religious excitement , and finally became so violent - lent that the county authorities had to take the unfortunate man in charge. The Doctor has been quite a familiar figure - ure on our streets. The meeting of the board of education , Monday evening , was one of unusual interest - terest and excitement. In fact there was more or less rich red blood on the moon , as one of the members put it. . Thelevy was made for school purposes ; some bills were allowed ; an unsuccessful effort was made to hire some additional teachers ; a motion was made to adjourn ; there was a deadlock ; three of the six members of the board walked out of the meeting ; and at least some of the teachers - ers for the ensuing year .will not be elected according to State Supt. Corbett's decision , in all probability. Musical stockings are among the latest freaks of fashion , says the New York "Sun. " They are not so audibly musical - cal , however , merely visibly so. Their open-work hands , running perpendicularly - larly up the ankles , are patterned in the notes and bars of the musical clef. Of course , different tunes are used for different - ferent occasions. Upon full dress hosiery - iery , grand opera airs are appropriately inscribed. Lighter compositions appear upon hose dedicated to functionslessim- portant , and for everyday stockings quite everyday' ditties are used. Stockings - ings to be worn Sunday alone are an interesting - teresting phrase of the fashion. These are , of course , embellished with hymn tunes and other sacred music.

There is aprob- ability that the outgrowth of this will be the organization of a District Bible Study Union for the systematic study of the Bible by the various societies of the Eighth district. The matter was left with the executive committee for final action. Occupation tax is due. Water tax due July 1st , 1895. This is field day for the public schools. Three fine rains , this week and more coming. This is richness ! An imperative order for the extermination - nation of the Russian thistle has been issued by the government. The Driftwood , Dry and Brush creeks were all unusually high as a result of the rains , Sunday and Monday. Patrick Walsh's dam across the Driftwood - wood was taken out by the high water , this week , in the usually sluggish Drift- wood. Our merchants are already placing 'orders for some lines of fall and winter goods , in anticipation of a big trade in the fall. The Russian thistles are keeping up with the procession in the matter of marvelous - velous growth now being made by all vegetation. Anderson's grocery is now all resplendent - ent with new paper and paint , and looks the very model of neatness and cleanliness - ness , that it is. A letter from Avoca , Iowa , dated June 12th , says : "Our first rain to amount to anything fell on Sunday , June 9th. We will have no hay , and our potatoes are burned up in this county. Small grain will be too short to cut with a binder. " That we did not provide enough extra .copies of last week's TRIBUNE to meet the demand is as much a matter of regret - gret to us as it is a source of disappointment - ment to the many that failed to secure copies of that edition. The hundred extras provided vanished almost before the ink on them was dry. The closing game of the series of three between the Culbertson and High School clubs was played on the local grounds , last Saturday afternoon , and resulted in a victory for the High School club in a score of 19 to 21. The game was all one- sided our way until the sixth or seventh inning , when the visitors took a spurt and came near winning the game. This game gave the High School club the series , they having won the first game. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's For Hlgbeet Medal and Diploma. Resolutions of Respect.
