Mr. and Mrs. G. W. MclTar-
land were up from their ranch
near the Berry bridge , Monday ,
doing some trading with our mcrch-

ous'year with his stock and finan
ces.
Joseph Langcr was in town

Mr. Langer hauls wheat to mill

"VYm. Schmidt , the genial issue

of subscription and brand adver"P
"
tisement of his stock , which he "P
runs on the reservation. He has
held a position in the service nine
teen years now , and is ever court
eous and obliging. At present as ,
for the past seven years , he has
been issue clerk. Mr. Schmidt was
on his way to Sioux City where he
will visit friends for a week or so
before returning.
"Word reaches us that Dan Eoby
shot a half breed Indian by the
name of Remus last week upon
the reservation. The story of the
shooting was that the two became
involved in a quarrel and Remus
severely whipped Mr. Roby and
that he followed him up after Eoby
tried to get away from him. Roby
told him to stay back and finally
shot at him. Remus followed him is
farther and Roby shot again , kill
ing Remus. Mr. Roby lives near
Springview and has been a peace
able , law-abiding citizen as far as
we can learn and we are sorry that
this trouble has come to him. We
hear that he has given himself "up
to the sheriff of Key a Pa ha county ,
I Lieut. Green called at our office
Monday while in town and itlseemcd
like a visit from home as we re
called the old times when we lived
in Riley county , Kan. The Lieut ,
is a young man yet , stout and
robust , of good family and will al
ways be worthy of the position he
ho'ds.
The 25th infantry band starts
out on the trip to eastern towns on
Thursday , the 21st , the first per
formance being at Ainsworth. The
concert will be followed by danc
ing to a late hour. The towns on
the line arc very enthusiastic about
this concert tour , and judging from
the way tickets are selling in ad
vance , the band will be greeted by
the largest audiences that the towns
can muster. It is with sincere re
gret that we announce that on Feb
ruary 1st Mr. Safranek , the band
master , severs his engagement
with the 25th infantry , having re
ceived a very advantageous oiFer
from the 6th infantry , now stat
ioned at Ft. Lcavemvorth , Kan.
Mr. Safranek has been with the
55th for nine years and has built
the band from
up comparatively a
common organization to one that
need not be ashamed to play in any
city in the United States. As a
bandmaster he is well known
throughout the East and conduct
ed some of the largest musical
organizations in Chicago , St Paul
and Minneapolis. The following
is clipped from a leading musical
iournal :
It is evident as soon as he faces
lis orchestra that his authority is.
) ( /tent , that he knows what he
wants and how to get it. His beat
is "as clear cut and decisive as will
often be seen , but is al\vays col
lected and controlled , sometimes
sweeping large , sometimes shrink
ing to an almost invisible move
ment , but always unmistakable.
There is nothing erratic , unre
strained , in what he does. His
readings are polished and finished
to the last detail and the finest
facet. Yet it seemed also that he
sees the greater things as well ,
and that all his elaboration is but
subordinate to a larger symmetry
of outline and contour. His cli
maxes are superbly wrought , and
by processes as subtle as they are
elective. lie does not hesitate at
any degree of violence that Berlio/
in his most exaggerated moments '
calls for , but he insists nol , only j
upon the finest pianissimo , but ill- j
so upon all the other intermediate |
gradations in their place and where
he wants thorn. His technique
routine are like a virtuoso's skill.
