Cameron of Schuyler , Nebr. , was "one of the fortunate in drawing a homestead in Tripp county. He registered at our of- fice last October and is now re- siding on his homestead about 30 miles northeast of Valentine. He was in town the first of the week , hauling out a load of building ma- , terial and supplies , and visited relatives , Rev. W. W. Wells and family. I. i . _ . . i " Earl Billings' was accidentally shot by Aaron Kast , his step2" father ; last Monday forenoon while loading a revolver. - The , cartridges' didn't go in ver.y smoothly and -closing the re- volver it was discharged , killing the boy. Two years before Aaron Kast shot his own leg off with the same revolver. Kast lives on the old Grenough place about 8 miles southeast of Norden. . The editor and his better half celebrated the Fourth of July at the "Big Elm" on the Mobrara river south of Irwin last Saturday. A large number from the sur- rounding country congregated there and had a big day , filled with sports , horse races , foot races , a ball game and smaller sports. We understand they have been cele- brating at the "Big Elm" the past three S years ' and each year the - number increases until the ' 'Big Elm" has become famous for a celebration point. George W. Beamer was the master of cere- monies and president of the day. Henry Borneman is treasurer : of the association and Quartus Skin- ner is marshal of the day. We , were the guests of Mr. : Beamer and his estimable , wife while there and we enjoyed their hospitality. Mr. Beamer has : a nice home and some fine farm land which he calls the Box 0 ranch. M. King , who left last week for his home at Denison , la. , arrived home safely but suffered an at- tack of heart failure last Satur- day. A message was sent to his daughter , Mrs. W. T. Kincaid , to come. and she started Saturday night but arrived after Mr. King's death which occurred Sunday morning. Mr. King has been quite feeble for several years but has kept up and enjoyed playing chess which was his chief amuse- ment and played frequently by mail " , indicating the move on a postal card. He was a good play- er and found considerable pleasure and consolation in his declining years over the chess board. Mr. King was not strong when we saw him last , the day before he started back home , and the extreme hot weather of last week may have hastened his. death. Valentine friends extend their sympathy ' to the bereaved family. Mr. : King was about 74 years of age. . I _ _ . . " - " tr.Jq Returned . tr. . _ ft 1 . . C. . . * ! ? " , , i " t .
