stead last Friday.
Dr. E ; S. Furay came down from

Eagle ball at this place.
Yank O'Bryan was in town on

recently sold 25 head of horses to

Mrs. Frank Hoffman , of Kil-

Tuesday. Her husband has a drug
store at Kilgore.
Mrs. Yern Stevenson came up
from Neligh Monday night to visit
with her parents , Mr. and Mrs.
Dan Handy , for two or three weeks.
We forgot last week to say that
Matilda Fletcher entertained the
people at the M. E. church the
previous Monday evening and those
who failed to hear her missed a
treat.
Geo. Camm called at our office
last Thursday on business and told
us that their school house had been
damaged by the hail stoim that
passed through a part of our coun
ty recently.
Miss Katherine Cunningham , of
Cedar Falls , Iowa , but recently of
Bot Springs. , S. D. , is in the city
visiting at the home of Dr. H.
Dailey and wife. Miss Cunning-
lam is a trained nurse and expects
; o locate here permanently.
S. G. Campbell and wife have
jecn visiting in the hay flats for a
ouple of weeks , but they are back ,
now and living in the Breuklander
louse. We are indebted to Mr. j1 i
Campbell for a peck of fine wild
plums that he brought in from the I
country.
Dave George leased his livery
barn to Wm. Sutter some time
ago. Josh Hitt and H. K. Brown
took the lease Aug. 1st and since
!
that time have been running the ! '
stable. We didn't hear about this
at the time it should have been re
ported but it is not too late now to
say it.
Barney Denaeyer's little five
year old girl had the misfortune
of having her finger cut square off
a few days ago by putting * her
finger through the hole in the con-
necting rod from the wind mill to .
the pump while the wind mill was i
going , but not connected to the I
pump.
Mrs. Dave Dunn's mother arid
her brother John McCay who have i
been out here visiting for some I
time past , ' returned to their home
in Illinois last Friday. It was
Dave Dunn who took the premium .
for the best oats at Britt. Through
some mistake the bills did not con
tain that article and we didn't get
a report of it either. .
Eichard Taylor and Miss Eva
Taylor were married Monday eve
ning , Sept. 12 , 190-1 , at the Pres
byterian church , Eev. Clark of
ficiating. Only immediate rela
tives and a few intimate friends
were present to witness the cere- ,
mony. Kichard is the eldest son'
of Wm. Taylor , and Miss Eva
the daughter of Henry Taylor.
Both of these young people have
grown up in our city and have a
large circle of friends who will
wish them success and a happy

mothers-in-law who will think they I

John Sedlacek and wife drove
in from his ranch on the Niobrara
[ Friday morning bringing a fine lot
of melons which they raised. A
fine water melon and musk melon
were handed the editor as samples.
They were the best we have tasted
this season. The musk melon
scented the room with a fragrance
that made us think of old times on
the farm.
C. V. Thorn and wife came up
from Lincoln last Thursday and
went up to Eosebud to take up his
position as a teacher , after several
months absence. Mr * Thorn will
teach at Eing Thunder , the place

John Foster , an old timer in
Cherry county , but lately of Daw-
son , Nebr. , where he has been liv
ing with his daughter for a couple
of years , called on us Monday
morning and spent a pleasant hour
.with us in our office. Mr. Foster
is here visiting his sons and daugh
ters , but thinks he will go back to
Dawson te get his team and move
back here to live as he thinks this
ptace suits him better and he likes
the progressiveness of the west.
The Standard has been informed
from a reliable source that there
is a man on the Pine Eidge reser
vation , sent from Washington , for
the purpose of allotting out to the
Indians and mixed blcods who are
now ] residents of that territory ,
the lands situated on the reserva-
tion. By the terms of the allot-
ment ] those excepting will become
full citizens of the government and
will have all the privileges and
rights of other citizens. After the
allotment is made , considerable
land will be left which will be dis-
posed of by some means not yet
'decided upon. The time is not far
distant when the Indians will ceac
to be a government charge. E.lu-
cation is doing a whole lot for the
red man. Eushville Standard.
A few weeks ago a game warden
who is of German parentage and
speaks broken English , came out
, vest to help enforce the game laws ,
having heard that a man was at
Dave Hancock's hunting without
\
a license. He got a team and
drove down that way , but meeting
Dave , Andrew Morrissey , Allen
Sparks and a gentleman by the
name of Sparks from Kansas City ,
Mo. , who seemed to suit the de
scription of the man who was thot
to be hunting without a license ,
he turned and followed them back
to town where he thought he would
have his victim caught with the
game in his possession. Upon
.their alighting from their carriage
with a gun and grips well filled ,
the deutcher advanced with an air
of self importance , saying :
"Shentlemen I been der game
varden und I must ioogh your j
sadchels trough. ' ' The boys read
ily gave way to the game warden
who went through the grips and
made a diligent search , but the
boys had had bad luck hunting'
evidently , for not a bird was found.
