y ! : 4flcoob r I4 , S 7 i e A 4 FOURTEENTH YEAR. McC00K RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY EVENING JULY 26 , 1896. NUMBER 10. - - Will He Escape ? 1 A man was in the city , Saturday , who claimed to be a brother-in-law of Levin- son , who was recently sent over the road for forgery by Judge Welty. He was i out seeking information to the end that he might be released from the penitentiary - tiary , whither Judge Welty exiled him for five years. He went up to Culbert- son from this point. It is not uncommon - mon to hear the fear expressed that Le- vinson will yet in some way escape the punishment which lie justly deserves. I It is stated that he has wealthy ands in- fluential relatives. At any rate an energetic - getic effort is being made to that end. It may be added , however , that the National Bankers' association , though the Pinkerton detective agency , are looking - ing after the interests of the public , and that mere technicalities may not , after all , rob justice and insulted law of their ' due. Such individuals are a menace to the people and doubtless a few years' seclusion in the Nebraska penitentiary will do him good. For instance , he may t by that time learn a trade by which he can make a living honestly , if he be so inclined. { I An Administration Paper. For a long time efforts have been made to establish an administration democratic paper in McCook , and there is a prospect of success in the near future - ture , we learn. The patriot who is to pilot the ship is said to be a resident of E Stockville , and the material from which it is thought that the gold standard organ will be printed is said to be that from which the late lamented Enterprise was produced. While there are just about enough administration - ministration democrats in southwestern Nebraska to wad Grover's shot gun , we have no hesitancy in stating that there is an opening here for a paper of the gold bug stripe. But the cavity is so wide and deep that the publisher who attempts to fill it from the legitimate newspaper profits will stand about as much show as a snow ball in Tophet. 1 i However , we will endeavor , in cow- 4 pang with the rest of the newspaper slaves , to make the brief sojourn of the ; ! proposed democratic organ and its consecrated - secrated editor as pleasant as the constipated - pated circumstances will permit. August First the Date. I ti We are in receipt' ' of the following from the Worshipful i\laster of the In- dianola Lodge which explains itself fully : I INDIANOLA , Neb. , July 17 , 1895 DEAR SIR : The laying of the corner stone of the new Masonic temple at this place will take place at 2 o'clock p. m , August 1st , 1895.

You will have to travel extensively to find a finer corn crop prospect than that 200 acre field at the Hatfield ranch. There was a special meeting of the A. 0. U. W , lodge held on Saturday eve- ning. It was a business meeting purely. The emigration from eastern Colorado - rado continues quite briskly ; a number of wagons passed through McCook eastbound - bound , last week. Tuesday of last week , at Benkelman a few grasshoppers were visible , high in the air , flying southward. None remained - mained behind , happily. Magnificent specimen stalks of corn are to be seen on exhibition all over the city , also some specimens of small grain and alfalfa the marvelous. A runaway out West Dennison street was caused by the thoughtless discharge of some firecrackers , Saturday afternoon , We learn that no particular damage oc- curred. Last Thursday Secretary Smith of the interior department rendered a decision dismissing the contest of William B. Beck against the heirs of Steinhause. The motion for a review of the case was denied. The Sheridan ( Wyo. ) Daily Journal gives an account of a runaway accident on the 18th in which W. H. Edwards , formerly of this place , was hurt , rc- ceiving a badly sprained knee and being severely shaken up. The high wind , last Friday evening before the rain , blew down a portion of the gospel tent , and it was necessary to dismiss the meeting and let the canvas all down. Repairs were made on the following morning and the meetings re- sumed.

Some rumors every now and then float in from Eastern Colorado concerning the grasshoppres. The pests seem to be spreading out more , and are said to be moving south and east. They have pretty well cleaned up the small grain about Yuma , and other places in northeastern - eastern Colorada , but no further apprehension - hension is felt concerning them in this portion of Nebraska. Mr. Coyle , of Eckley , Colo. , a brother- in-law of Bridge Boss P , C. Judge of our city , was robbed of $15 , on 'Wednesday night , and quite severely cut in the arm and otherwise hurt by the two burglars who entered his room at Eckley. Coyle resisted , but was roughly handled by the cutthroats. There were two men on No. 4 , last night , that are supposed to answer the description of the robbersbut in the absence of instructions the police did not molest them , Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Award. Rothees S. Hileman Dead. After suffering for three years or longer - er with that fatal malady Bright's disease , at about 8 o'clock , last Saturday evening , Rothees S. Hileman's spirit left its tenement - ment of clay , releasing the weak and wasted body from all earthly pain , and took its flight to its home , above. The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. A. G. Forman , pastor , and were attended by many friends from the city and from the country wherein he was a respected and highly esteemed resident for tea or twelve years : At the church the remains were taken in charge by the Woodmen , of which the deceased was a member , who tout ucted the services - vices at the cemetery. Rothees S. Hileman was born in Le- Claire , Iowa , January Loth , 1858 , and died in Driftwood precinct , a few miles southwest of McCook , July 20th , 1895 The deceased came to Red Willow county in December , 1883. He went to Pennsylvania in the fall of 1884 , and on January 1st , 1895 , at Waterstreet in that state married Miss Susie Goodman , who with five small children survives him. They at once took up their residence on the farm in Driftwood precinct , which by great industry and irrigation has been brought up to a high state of cultivation and productiveness. The deceased had been in ill health for about three years , spending part of the last winter in Iowa , in search of relief. For the last few months his condition grew rapidly worse and the fatal result hasbeen anticipated. On Friday he made his will , preparing for the end which came peacefully on the following evening , he being conscious and delivering his instructions and farewells - wells to the last. He expressed his willingness - lingness and readiness to meet his God , leaving behind him the testimony that all was well. In addition to his own family , he leaves an aged father and mother , two brothers and a sister at DavenportIowa , besides a sister and brother here , Mrs. Perry Stone and L. R. Hileman. His parents were here at the time of his de- cease. All have the sincerest sympathy of this community. The deceased carried $2,00o insurance in the Woodmen. CARD OF THANKS.

MRS- SUSIE HILEMAN. MR. & MRS. S. HILEMAN & FAMILY. Deaths of Two Former Citizens. From a personal letter from Mrs. Eaton to Mrs. H. H Pickens of Valley Grange precinct , received Tuesday night of this week , we learn some of the particulars of the death of John G. Eaton , which took place in Garden Grove , California , on the first day of July , from consump- tion. The remains were laid away in the Santa Ana cemetery. Mr. Eaton was one of the early settlers of Red Willow county , having settled on the Willow creek in 1872. For many years he lived on the well known Eaton ranch south of McCook. A few years since with his wife and daughter he removed to Oregon. His health failing rapidly he returned here , last summer for a while , and finally went to California in search of health which came not , but death. John G. Eaton was one of God's noble- men. Of sterling integrity ; mild and loving disposition ; highly esteemed by all who knew him. His sorrowiug wife and daughter have the deepest sympathy - thy of many friends in Red Willow county : The death of W. R. Cole , a former resident of our city , is also learned from a private source. It took place on the 12th in Santa Ana , California , and is said to have been caused by appendicitis. Mr. Cole and family spent a number of years in McCook , following his trade as a painter. His father , R. A , Cole , the tailor , and brother , Sidney , a fireman , still reside here. He went to Santa Ana , last summer ; with S. H. Colin and fam- ily.

A Few Words From a Friend. Santa Ana , Cala. , Jul } 20 , 1895. EDITOR TRIBUNE : I write you a few lines to inform you of the sad death of our friend \V R. Cole. He was taken ' down , June 3otb , with appendicitis and was confined to his bed until July 12th at ; 7.45 P m , when he was relieved from suffering by death. An operation was performed for his relief , but the inflammation - mation was so extensive and severe that its work could not be stopped. The deceased removed here from Mc- Cook , Neb. , July , 1894 , and while he had only been here one year , the large number - ber of friends who so kindly rendered their cheerful assistance during his sickness - ness , and who followed his mortal remains - mains to their last resting place , give assurance to the grief-stricken family that in that brief period of time he had made a large circle of warm friends. The funeral services and burial were conducted by the Fraternal Aid Association - tion of which lie had recently become a member. W. R. Cole was born in Canada , February - ruary 14th , 1856 , and made Nebraska his home for the greater portion of his life : He was a thorough master o his trade- painting and paper hanging as all well knew who employed him. He had a warm heart for all his fellow men , and was a strong friend with all who knew him. A kind and loving husband and father. While his work was unfinished he was ready to go at the call of his Master - ter , to whom he gave his heart while yet alive. It is a hard and heavy burden for the family to bear ; but , believing they will soon meet him again , they are content - tent with the promise that when that time shall come it will be to part no more.
