them a knocking. There is some

A report of a shooting affray
which occurred on the caboose ° f
train 27while the same stood at
Cod ; * station on last Friday evening.
This report says that Mel Ganow
his son , Jake , and a Mr. Denny ,
who owns ranch south of Merri-
man , were passengers on this train ,
returning from Valentine where
they had been involved in a land
contest case. All parties were per
ceptibly under the influence of
"lemonade"'or some other liquid
refreshment. Words werepassed
between Mel Ganow and Denny ,
and the latter drew a pocket gun
and'discharged it a time or twoin-
to the roof of the car. On this
point reports conflict. Some say
that Ganow caughtthe gun and
threw it up out of range of his head ,
and others say that Denny purpo-
sely threw up his own gun ; But
fortunately no one was seriously
hurt. Cody Cow Boy.
TVe heard that no shots were
fired , but that Mel Ganow and
Denny were each struck over the
head with a revolver. ED.
Allen Eothchilds , the colored man
who was 'shot in the mouth last
'Wednesday evening Dec. 24 , was
"brought to Dr. Lewis' drug store
Tuesday to ha.ve the bullet remov
ed which was thoughtnecessary
by the physicians to save him : t He
*
'died however before the operation
> was "performed" "and a 'coroners
jury was immediately summoned
by Sheriff Layport and Coroner
Lewis , consisting of W. A. Kim- ,
ball , John Simpson--Wm , Steele ;
Samuel' Hudson Wm' Francke
and I. M. Rice. TheVerdict'was
prepared by Co. Attorney Mor-
rissey and was to the effect that
Allen Rothchilds came to his death
as a result of a bullet in the mouth
from a 44 caliber revolver fired by
Sunny-Ford ( colored-with ) felon
ious intent. J. H. " Stratton took
.charge of the body and the funeral
will take place today ( Thursday )
if no word is received from the de
ceased's relatives. There were
jblrqee * eyewitnesses to the shooting
as follows : Lulu McCoy , Gertrude

The excellent record of the "Mer
cantile" is attracting much attent
ion. It now has in Nebraska over
seven thousand policy holders .and
over six million dollars ofinsur -
erice in force. It has annually for
* t
, fivo years on an average declared
to its policy Q holders a div
idend of 15 to 20 per cent ; that is ,
it has saved in cost to its policy
.holders that much. There is no
.man but what would like to be in
a business that would yield hini 20
, per cent profit. The Mutual In-1
surance Journal.
, The Mutual Insurance .people of
the state can be proud of thefact
that Nebraska has within its bqard-
ers some of the very strongest
'Mutual companies in the world , '
Many both farm and city whose poli
cies are as good as gold anywhere
and the reputation of which goes
unquestioned. Among the number
none are better than the Farmers
Mutual Insurance Company and
The Nebraska Mercantile' Mutual
Insurance Company , both of-Lin
coln , and the Trans-Missi&sippi
Mutual Fire Association of Oma
ha , and our readers should carry
in these companies all of theinsur-

These companies are represents |
ed by I. M. Rice of Valentine. EQ
these companies together with the j
German Mutual of Omaha he has. '
written thousands of dollars of in
surance forpeople in Valentine ,
Crooks ton , Cody , Merrimaii ;
Gordon , Wooklake and through- ?
out Cherry Co.There has never
been a question as to the reliability ]
of these mutual companies ancl
those holding policies in them can ,
testify to the. saving in cost of in : !
surance. There should be no 'dis- .
crimination against them because' '
they have saved' thousands of dol
lars to policy holders , and insur
ance rates have been lowered 25
per cent by virtue of the existence
of these companies , in which even
those opposed -mutual insurance
have profited. They insure city
and farm property , school houses
and churches.

We just returned from a visit to
our oldhome in HI. We found a
great change since 'we left 15 yrs.
ago. There are 'strangers o'n the
old homestead where we was born
'and raised , our parents having
.sold it and move to 'Trid. In fact
we found few in the.old neighbor
hood we used" to know. The hand
of time has changed the looks of
the country so we could hardly
realize that it was the same place ,
but then 15 years is a long time.
