COURT HOUSE BONDS
The Objection of the IMviwionists is
Xnllifled bv the Iakw
On May 4th the voters of Cherry
county will be given an opportunity to
say whether the county shall continue
paying 800 peryear rent for a
or build a de
cent building at an expense which will
not raise the tax levy one mill above
that now assessed
In opposition to this proposition
th ere are numerous objections urged
Some of them are foolish some idiotic
and some bear the impress of right
upon their face Two of the principal
obj ections urged were answered last
week conclusively we think In the
southern and western portions of the
county there are numerous advocates
ot division of the county and these
divisionists are almost to a man
against the bonds They say that if
the county builds a court house and if
the county is divided the new county
will be out all the taxes they have
paid on the bonds This is being
urged with much persistence and
many believe it is true Men have
told this paper that if they were con
vinced that they would receive their
money back they would vote for the
bonds because they were convinced
that a new building is needed and that
it would be economy to have same
Section 2082 on page 420 of the
Compiled Statutes of Nebraska for
1895 headed Division of Property
says
All the property both real and per
sonal belonging to the county
or counties from which such new
county was formed shall he divided by
the several county boards of the coun
ties interested between the county or
counties from which such new county
was formed and the new county in
proportion to the assessed value of
property lor the last preceding year
j which has been taken froui such origi
nal county or counties and carripd to
such new cmnty In case the
said property cannot be divided or re
moved the county receiving the same
shall pay totlw oilwr
for the same
The foregoing is Sec 16 of Art I
Chapter 18 entitled Counties and
County Officers and by thi3 descrip
tion can be found in any statute of the
state Look it up There is no way
of getting around it If a new coun
ty is formed from a portion of Cherry
the new county can recover its propor
tionate interest in all property be
longing to the county of whatsoever
kind it may be lands buildings books
moneys etc
7uduo Towne Fined Them
Monday Albert Webster a soldier in
company A 12ih infantry filed a com
plaint against Dan Mahoney for pre
senting him with a beautiful black eye
and Daniel was fined 500 and costs
amounting to 475 by Judge Towne
Dan then swore out a warrant against
Albert tor assault Sunday night and
Monday morning and exhibited a bad
ly bruised face in evidence of his
truthfulness and so Albert was given
a dose of 500 and costs
This row is the result of bad blood
of long standing and the penalties ad
ministered may tend to settle the dif
ficulty Webster has a wife out in the
country and Daniel has been making
his headquarters at the wifes place
for several years Besult jealousy
and numerous threats of violence by
Webster The woman has frequently
asked for protection from him and if
he gets jerked up before Hizzoner
again it may be that he will have to
answer to several very serious charges
Daniel is an old man of Irish descent
and his tale in the court room was both
pitiful and laughable as with tears
streaming down his wrinkled old face
he told how Webster didnt let me
shlape a wink for two nights and held
a knife over me hear rt Webster
addressed a few words to the court
room as he expressed it and grand
iloquently told how he would bring
scores of witnesses to prove his inno
cence but he didnt
Catharine Lynch commonly kuown
as Kate Murphy was up on a charge
of drunk and disorderly pleaded
guilty and was given 10 and costs
Total 14 60 The girl did not have
the monejT but was released on the
promise of her landlady Jennie
Lester to produce the simoleons by
Saturday
Judge Towne gave this last offender
a severe lecture and intimated that if
any more girls were brought before
him on a disorderly charge he would
not simply impose a fine but would 6ee
that the offender behaved herself for a
few days at least i e sho would be
confined in the city bastile for a term
of days The disorderly element are
hereby warned to keep out of the
clutches of Judge Towne

Parties who intend plantiug beets
this spring should begin preparation of

quarter of an acre Three poimds of
3eed costing 75 cents will be sufficient

worth is in a fair way to do so and
Valentine should be the next on the
list Ground should be plowed some
time in advance of planting

after Cornells pasture just west of the
Rosebud road being designated as the
proper dumping ground Any of the
numerous small canyons thereabout
will Teceive the retuse and n will not
then interfere with the public health
valentine should be given a thorough
cloning this month
Joke on the Judge
The attorneys got a good joke on
Judge Kinkaid Wednesday during
the trifil of the irrigation case of
Fenner vs the Mirage Irrigation Co
In examining a witness Judge Crites
made some reference to a dam site
Judge Kinkaid who was writing at
the time did not catch the Grst part of
the query and rapping on the desk
looked severely at the audience and
attorneys and in a most impressive
tone remarked Tut tut gentlemen
I do not allow such language in this
court room while I am on the bench
A broad smile spread over the faces of
the attorneys who could hardly con
tain their laughter and when the mat
ter was made clear to the Judge he
joined in a hearty laugh at his ex
pense Chadron Recorder
A afew Hotel
Wednesday J A Hooton who has
been living in the Ludwig house on
Cherry street took possession of the
Stinard property on North Main street
and will transform the building into a
hotel to be run under the name of
Valentine House Mr Hootan is an
experienced hotel and restaurant man
and comes to Valentine well recom
mended as a genial host and honest
business man It is Mr Hootons in
tention to run a first class hotel and
his table will be second to noue when
it comes to a question of viands either
as regards quantity or quality and his
charges will be very reasonable 1
per day for transients with the usual
reduction for regular boarders The
public is invited to give the Valentine
House a trial and is assured that it
will not be disappointed Mr Hooton
formerly conducted a hotel at Butte
and during several years business in
that place never lost a boarder 12
Xo Money on Deposit
Last week a certain young gentle
man from a neighboring town came to
Valentine to mase arrangements for a
local1 business man to start him up in
business in his native town The
young gentleman started out to see the
the elephant and he saw her To
show his gratitude to the aforesaid
local business man he borrowed some
money of him giving therefore a
check This was not sufficient in
amount so he prevailed upon an old
friend of his to advance money on
checks also When the checks were
presented for payment the cashier of
the bank on which they -were drawn
returned them with the indorsement
No funds and likewise added a few
comments on the y gs standing in
uwiiiu JUOY ttda

an opportunity to settle at once thus
saying him from the disgrace of ex
posure It is probable that he will in
the future leave his check book at
home unless he has funds in the bank
