When there'is plenty of timber
to select from , the easier it is to
pick out two straight-grained pieces
that will not warp when the test -
C9mes. As the summer months .
approach some talk has been indulged - j
dulged in as to who would be candi
dates for the nomination of district
judge this fall. Among the repub
licans a number of names have
been suggested : Allen G. Fisher
and W. H Fanning of Dawes , W.
W. Wood of Sheridan , TV. C.
Brown of Keya Paha , J. L. Doug
las and F. N. Morgan of Eock , and
J. J. Dickson of Holt. There is
not so much "pop" timber left in
the woods as there used to be but
among the names mentioned are :
A. W. Crites of Dawes , W. H.
Westover of Sheridan , A. M. Morrissey -
rissey of Cherry and J. J. Har
rington of Holt. Chadron Jour
nal.
There are just as many to select
from as two and four years ago
and they are just as good as ever.
THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT thinks
the present district judges are good
enough and we don't have to go
hunting. Judge Westover and
Judge Harrington have made ex
cellent judges" . Their reputations
for ability and honesty are unquest
ioned and they are entitled to the
support of all the people for another
term. Let us stand by the men
who uphold the law and stand by
us.

Mrs. Kitchen , a colored woman ,
was shot last Saturday afternoon.
by an ex-soldier who had.brought
her to town from one of the resorts
near the river and said he wouldi
shoot the man who would attempt
to take her home. The shot went
through the right breast. TheS
woman will probably recover. The
soldier tried to get away but was.
arrested and lodged in jail to await
trial. His name is Robt. Tellis.
There were charges made that
were sweeping at the time and
which some of our citizens cannot
easily forget. It was for effect at
that time and seemed to work but
the parties who uttered the charg
es will not profit much by the gross '
misrepresentation of men who went
down in defeat but pay taxes on
more property than any other ten
men in the town and it was a mean
thing to say that neither they nor .
their followers have no standing.
The Citizens Meat Market this

Stetter becomes the proprietor , j
This is Henry's best occupation and |
he will feel at home in the business
having . followed it all his life excep
ting the last seven 3rears. He .has j
numerous friends and those who
understand him best will stand by |
him as a brother. But then good
men are plentiful if you look at
men's good qualities. Some seem
to have more good qualities than
ot - the minds of the majori
ty of people and it is the wearing
qualities that tell. Henry has fl
them.
Court. ,
Judge Harrington presides this
week and Col. John Maher-is court

The Bovee Trial.
On Tuesday the jury was em
panelled for the hearing of a trial
wherein Fred Bovee was charged
with rape upon the person of Nel
lie Seager , a step daughter who is
11 years old. The evidence was
principally given by the girl , her
sister Julia , 10 years old , and by
Alexander Seager , who is father of
the children. Some of the testi
mony of the old man was mixed and
' the little girl may not have known
how to tell the story most effective
ly , but her story was enough to
convince an unprejudiced mind
that it was mostly true , which was
corrobrated by her sister Julia.
The circumstances of the-earlier
habits and practices of the family
.
would have some weight with the
ordinary juror. The case went to
the jury at about 9o'clockTuesday
evening after the attorneys had
summed up the evidence.
Cole Younger , the bandit , is said
to have emerged srom his prison
cell < something of a philosopher.
At the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago
cage the other day he stated to a
reporter that his time spent in
.prison , was devoted to the study of
\i
the classics and the bible and it is
said his conversation was inter
spersed with quotations from the
scriptures ( , Shakespeare , Emerson
Greek and Latin proverbs. Here
are a few of his sayings :
"The man who chooses the career
of outlawry is either a natural feeler
or an innocent madman , for out
lawry is a fit companion for treason
and anarchy. "
"I've read the bible through 30
times. A man has plenty of time
to think in prison and study law ,
'religion and Shakespeare , but I
don't advise people to go there for
their opportunities. "
"In my lonely hours I learned
that hope is a divinity ; that a sur-
.plus of determination conquers
every weakness ; that vengenance
is not for man ; that holy pictures
are not all of religion. " Pender

II. G. Iiy'on Whips
His Crippled Hoy.
Last Monday evening Ray Lyon
went down town to attend a social
or visit -with some of his friends
against < his father's wishes and up
on returning home found himself
locked out. He went to the barn
tc sleep. and next morning his
father went after him with his
faw
whip which it is said he keeps for
that purpose. He proceeded to
flog < the boy and the whip being
jerked from his hand he used his .
jefi.
fists and unmercifully beat his
crippled son who had just recently
graduated from the Gordon city
school. The citizens of Gordon
learning of the cruelty of that
learned and great man , who is
editor of , the Gordon Journal , to
his son who it is claimed already
had a withered and cripple arm by
reason of the old man's viciousness
towards him when but a child ,
started a movement to prosecute
Lyon but finally resolved to cir
culate a petition asking Gordon's
business men to withdraw their
patronage : from him. It 'is said
that Lyon kept a whip which was
similar to the "cat o'nine tails"
with which to flog his boys. The
oldest son Tyndall left the parental
home it is said because of his
father's cruelty and Ray who has
just graduated has a withered and
helpless arm which it is the gener
opinion was caused by the old
man's shaking and 'jerking ' him
when Ray was but a child. The
people of Gordon are indignant
over Lyon's crueltj to" his family.
