additional three quarters where
they wanted it.
The new arc lights were put in
in last week and are ready for use :
One atV. \ . S. Barker's residence

and Hall streets and Catherine.
On account of the volume of
business we will omit publishing

next four months or until such a
time as we have space and time.
The Valentine State Bank has
had some repairing done of. the

valleys of Cherry county handy.
Mrs. Geo. Tracawell left last

weeks , George shaves t\yice a day
and tries to look pleasant but fails.
There has been a postoffice es
tablished on the Niobrara river at
the mouth of the Snake at the home
of L. W. Parker , which will be
known as Burge. Mrs. Lucy
Parker is the postmater. . . . . .
P. II. TVTntersteen is the new
proprietor of the Sears' hotel. He
has a year's lease and has named
it the Chicago House. A car load
of Chicago people came out with
him to take land but many of them
returned last week.
John Bachelor and Cloyd Quigley -
ley arrived home last Saturday
evening from Texas , where they
were buyingcattle. They brought
home 1350 white face Texas cattle
which were unloaded at Cody.
Cloyd departed again Sunday night'
for Texas to receive more cattle.
Mr. Hall , of the Forestry de
partment , in company with Mr.
Scott , made a trip to the Niobrara
forest reserve a short time ago in
the interest of the forestry dept.
He was very much pleased with the
location and that prospects for the
reproduction of the Ponderosa
piiie were very good , though there
will be no nursery located at this
reserve just at the present time.
Messrs. Hall and Scott were un
fortunate enough while here to be
overtaken with a very cold rain in
which they had to make a 10 mile
ride on mule back.
C. M. Darling and C. C. Murphy
arrived in Valentine Sunday from
Jackson , Mich. , having travelled
210S miles overland on bicycles , a
coming through ten states from
there , here. They are travelling t
on a § 5000 wager to go into every
state in the Union in 18 months.
j.
They start without money , mak
ing their expenses as they go sell a
ing souvenirs , they being allowed i r
no other income whatever. Upon
f
completing their journey they will
write a book entitled , "Around
the U. S. on a Bicycle. They go
west from here to RushviHe , Al
liance , Sidney , Kimbell , and Chey f
enne , Wyo. , thence southward $
through Colo. They claim to have 3
had many exciting adventures and 3r
3t
recently went without food and
water on the Rosebud reservation t
24 hours , seeing neither man nor \
house for a day and night. l
A great many items were lefi
out last week that we were sorr.\
to have missed printing , but on
account of the importance of the
homestead law and instructions
which we thought necessary to
publish at that time , other
items were taken out to make
room. It didn't leave' us with
space enough to explain. Some
of these items would be old this
week.
A eves .June SH.
Lincoln. Xeb. . June 28. Gov
ernor Mickey has received several
requests from officers and sheriff
in Custer county , Nebr. , for militia
to help keep order at Broken Bow
and in the surrounding country ,
where thousands of persons have
gathered for the opening and filing
ou homesteads under the newlun-
kaid land law.
The governor has ordered com
pany M of Broken Bow to be held
in readiness under arms and if
there is an outbreak the National
guard will be put into action at once
The trouble arises from the fact
that cattle barons have . sent their
cowboys to file on government land
that is now fenced and to intefere
with homesteaders who are seek
ing claims under the provisions of
the new law. The disputed land ,
which was thrown open to settlers
today , has been used by the ranch
men for grazing purposes. It has
has been fenced in by them , and
these fences the government ord
ered taken down in a bill passed
in the last session of congress.
There is a great rush for the
ftlarhs. ! Many of the homestead-
ere at Broken Bow are armed and
bloodshed is expected. World-
Herald ,

At Sidney there was .a large
crowd and it is reported that from
three to seven filings for many
choice pieces of land , each taking
chances in getting first to the land
office. Stores were turned into
land offices and clerks prepared
filing papers , one firm taking in
nearly § 1000 in this way. They
think the boom will continue sev
eral weeks there.
At O'Neill every hotel and res
taurant were crowded. Real es
tate men who had nothing to defer
for months were kept busy for'
srveral days and far into the night
previous to the opening , making
out homestead filings. Over 500
men and women were lined up be
fore the land office Tuesday morn
ing. The line was numbered at
9 o'clock and the line permitted
to break ranks and three numbers
were called into the land office at a
time consecutively. At ' 0Neill
land office , with that abominable
traitor D. Clem Deaver as one of
the officials , .accepted as a price for
his rascality in leading the middle
of the road populists in 1900 for
the benefit of the re publican party
in Nebraska , the people who want
to file on homesteads will be kept
waiting while each application is
passed upon. It is reported that
week's time will be required to
wait upon the few who congregate
there. Reported that about 75
filings were made Tuesday , crowd
300 in line all night , 500 at day
.
break. A fortune teller was busy
all night telling fortunes for the
next day and at day break she also
fell into line to take her chances
for a home on the rolling prairies.
The night was chilly or cold at' '
O'Neill and .those who started in J
with straw hats wore overcoats before - j
fore morning. Blankets rented at ]
25 cents each. The crowd was j
jovial and yelled at intervals all
night. At mornin * : the line was
two blocks long. Land offices
were kept open all night , .prepar
ing papers for filing.
