The Western Rancher and
Brand Recorder is the name
of a new paper just started at
Ainsworth by Mutz & Millay.
It is , as the name indicates , de
voted to the interests of the
western ranches and ranchmen
and will doubtless fill a want
long felt.
Judge Towne is disgusted with
reading so much about June wed
dings when that branch of his
business has been so slow during
the past month that he has not
made enough out of it to pay the
expenses of his Fourth of July
celebration and he didn't expect
to celebrate very much , either.
The opening of the Fraternal
hall last Tliursdriy evening was
an event long to 1 DC remembered ,
in lodge circles : in Valentine. -
The beautiful an d roomy lodge *
room was packe d by the mem
bers of the different orders and
their wives and the program
which was pub\ishv3d in the Dem
ocrat was carried out without a
hitch. One fortunate help was f
the presence in knvn of the
Messrs. Evans , of Omaha , and
their wives , who happened to be
here on one of their piano tuning
trips. They were pres sed into a
service by the committee and ]
were no small help to the music
al part of the program. The
program opened with a prayer by I
Rev. Cumbow , which was fole
lowed by an able address by .Rev. ]
Ramsey , of Aisworth. Col. J
Towlemade the hit of the eve- ]
ning with his witty remarks and 1
the applause nearly cracked the (
plastering. The next number ]
on the program was a supper
which was served by Retstau- j
ranteur Bohle. It was good in
quality an-j ample in quantity
and durin g the lime it was being
sei-vedtb.e degree te m of the
Degree 'of Honor gave a drill for
the benefit of as many as could
crowd around the edge of the
room . The men in the crowd
who indulge in the weed found a
good supply of excellent cigars
in the front room. The lodge
irienibers of Val entine may well
feel proud of their new quarters.
There are very few lodge rooms' '
in the state that will equal them , i
Omaha and other large cities not
excepted.
Henry Stetter and Wm. Franke
of Valentine , were in Alliance this
week looking over the town. Mr.
Stetter is a brother of J. G. Stet
ter , 'of Alliance , one of the pro
prietors of the Palace saloon.
Alliance Pioneer Grip.
A seven-year-old Fremont boy
found a can of powder that his
brother had stored away for the
Fourth and dropped a lighted
match into it. He will never be
as pretty again , but he will know
a blamed sight more.
The following Ainsworth peo
ple went up to Valentine this
morning to help dedicate the new
Masonic temple : Messrs. anc
Mesdames J. M. Curry , Clms
Marsden , O. L. Ramsey , W. E
Mosely , Mrs. E. Barnes , Dave
Hanna , Misses Mazie Finney ,
Janet Hanna , Lida Bowers , anc
Laura Nichols. Star-Journal.
C. B. Reyrnan , who was ar
rested some time ago on the com
plaint of J. L. McElderry on the
charge of fence cutting , was
tried Saturday afternoon and
found guilty. Lee Turner , his
hired man , was also in the scrape
and was also fined , but the fine
in his case was remitted , as it
appeared afterwards that he had
nothing to do with the cutting ,
only sat in the wagon and held
the team while it was done.
They called for a jury , which
brought the costs up to $66 ,
which , with the $25 fine , offers
in inducement to Mr. Reyman
to be good for a short time , at
least.
Thomas Nelson and John and
Sarry Junod , charged with hav-
.ng stolen about 9,000 pounds of
tvire from D. A. Hancock's fence
ast spring , were arraigned be-
: ore Judge Towne Monday morn-
ng and entered a plea of not
ruilty. Their attorney filed a
notion to dismiss the case on the
ground that the fence from which
he wire was stolen was on gov-
jrnment land , was real estate in-
itead of personal property and
hat this being the case an action
or grand larceny would not hold.
Fudge Towne overruled the mo-
ion and held the defendants in
> 500 bail to the district court.
! f the contention of the defend-
, nts were to hold good , owners
f fencing on government lands
rould have no protection from
ence thieves unless they took
he law into their own hands.
"Remembering the extremely
Lelightf ul days that I have passed
, t the Millard in years gone by ,
. ' recommended to Miss Kidder
vhen we came to Omaha in May ,
.902 , that she should go to the
Vlillard , with the result that the
jntire Company stopped at the
Millard , " said Louis Massen , the
iavorite leading man of Miss
[ Cathryn Kidder's well known
iheatrical in'A
company Country

ler company were thoroughly
svell pleased is evidenced by the
following dainty remembrance
Prom Miss Kidder : "My Dear
Mr. Markel : In leaving permit
me to thanlr you for my very
pleasant stay at the Millard. Sin-
serely yours , Kathryn Kidder.
