Look After the Boys
There was a little affair in police court
close of last week which emphasizes
what this paper has had occassion to
mention several times of late namely
look after your boys There wore six
lads in the affair The offense was that
of following annoying and finally strik
ing a man by the name of Phosion Bryen
and knocking him down with a club
blow on the head Bryen was out in the
company of a young woman The boys
pleaded guilty to the charge and J S
LeHew acting police judge fined them
1 and costs the total being 550 in
each case And the boys may consider
that they got off easy They should see
to it also that they never again get in
to police court It is a poor place to
train lads for useful and honorable man
hood Parents look to your boys And
an eye on some of the girls would not be
amiss

Dr Neef Explains
Dr Neef of Hildreth Neb send the
following Answer on tho article of Mrs
Crabtree from Haigler Neb
Mrs Crabtree from Haigler caused
so I saw in The McCook Tribune and
Wilcox Herald considerable excitement
about Dr C Neef on the train without
cause so I take it as my duty to explain
how things happened
I take the case of Mrs Crabtrees
daughter for some deformity of tho leg
for 13750 with brace massage roller
and medicine Tho treatment would
last 6 months maybe longer Later I
study the case over and found out that
x wouia db suort ii j nau to go every
week to Haigler because the expenses
weekly were 538so I wrote her a letter
that she has to bring the girl weekly
to McCook if she cannot do so I was
willing to give her the money back I
sent her a telegram from Hildreth that
she could find me in Commercial hotel
Tuesday but no reply This female is
a very nervous lady maybe a little more
and made excitment on the train Tho
man she looks for was absolutely not on
the train but in McCook she knew it
and found him at the place as he wrote
to her She never wrote if she would
come or not so I was not prepared for
tho whole amount I gave her 35 and
for the balance security
I think that is as honest as a man can
do
