help with this now and get the line
built. It should receive support
from everyone. We think our
people are enterprising and will
not let this opportunity pass.

Mr. 0. L. Kennedy , Ainsworth's ;

nedy. The large stock interests
of this part of ; Nebraska are con
stantly in need of a.man who is a
specialist in his line. "Western

dawn to defend .the prisoner who
had been arrested last .week by
Sheriff Lay port. The complain
ing witness seems tohave been
Wm. Jacobs , of Rushville , who
had had some trouble with Libolt
and this case was thought by some

plaint and was present only as a
witness in _ the case , though the
supposed stylen colt 'was's'aid .to
