Sheriff Rosseter went up to
Gordon last Thursday and arrest-
ed George Brewer and brought
him down to Valentine where he
placed him in jail to answer to the
charge of stealing five head of
aorses from Rev. A. R. Julian a
s'lort time ago. Rosseter began
work on this case upon being noti-
fied and thinks he has the victim.
3r-orge Brewer was here on a
similar charge only a few years
ago but numerous Gordon people
took an active interest in his be-
half , perhaps principally because
of their regard for the mother and
sister of the. defendant.Few
doubted that ' he ; was guilty at that
time but he went free after an
expensive trial to our county.
J. G , Northrop , the genial sta
tion agent at Valentine , suffered a
sudden stroke of paralysis last
week while at his work and though
he recovered in a few hours , his
physician told him that he needed
a rest. Accordingly he and Mrs.
Northrop have gone to Chicago to
c' ) nsult a specialist. Jim has
worked faithfully for fourteen
years , putting in more hours ev
ery day than anybody and was al-
ways the same complacent Jim.
Nothing swerved him from his
duty and * he never complained ,
though he always heard the com-
plaints of others sympathetically
and did what he could to relieve
the'r anxiety or set matters right
for : them. With unusual patience
and skill he pursued his daily
work and nobody . ever heard Jim
complain. At home he was the
same earnest , thoughtful husband
to ; do what he could to assist his
wife about her duties or in taking
care of the children while waiting
I
for : a meal , which always seemed
to ; suit him , and there Jim never I
complained. The constant work !
I
and worry of his office the long
hours and endless strain from
week to week , month to month ,
and year after year ; without rest I I
was too much for a strong man I
and Jim broke down. He didn't ! , i
complain from word of mouth but
his constitution has issued its
warning. There is a limit to en-
durance and when the system
clogged and failed to go and re
plenish his strength Jim had to
I
quit. We sincerely hope he will
speedily recover and soon return !
l
to his home in our city. Every ;
body likes Jim and we have often
wondered why with his efficiency I
and faithfulness , that he was not
promoted to a place of greater re-
sponsibility and remuneration ,
with fewer hours of toil. No one
doubts that J. C. Northrop is a
deserving man and his numerous :
friends will rejoice to see him ]

honored. I

They're all going to Wood Lake
Thursday , Sept. 30. Carnival.
i
Mrs. D. A. Melton of north
table is enjoying a visit from her
! mother and a sister.
We print this week a list of the
persons drawing prizes at the
North Table reunion and fair. The
program was good for the enter-
tainment of the people and we en-
joyed being there. As we looked
over the people eagerly listening to
the program of speqkingand
watching the young ; folks drill our
thoughts turned to the , conditions .
and trials of the early pioneers of
the ' country. . ' We can see them as
they came west to build up a home
on the new prairies ! that were al-
most unknown , excepting to the
Indian , the hunter and the wild
animals. The implements of agri-
culture were rude then and had to
be hauled in wagons drawn by ox-
en or horses , 200 miles or more.
They didn't get tha best to be had
but rather the cheapest. Their in-
comes were not great and families
raised nearly e\'erjPthing necessary
for their living , and their "living"
was none too good. But they lived
and thrived , though suffering for
many of the commodities , or , as
. ,
we are used to saying , " t 1 le neces-
saries of life. " They couldn't
get them. They were not to be
had in those times and the furrow-
ed faces , that met my gaze as I
looked upon the crowd assembled
there that day , suggested the con-
ditions of privations and toil.
Every sorrow or want has left its
mark upon the hardy sons of toil
and instead of being a race of
careless , easy-living men and
wonien \ , their natures are changed
and made to fit the yoke of their
conditions. All honor to those
furrowed faces , bent forms , hump-
ed backs , bent limbs and knotty
fingers. They have paved the
way for a generation of better
looking sons and daughters who
will do credit to their ancestry and
ne'er ? forget thai their fathers and
mothers suffered fur the necessi-
ties of life and got so accustomed
to doing without that- they didn't
realize they were in need of then
They didn't complain , but the
want of these things left its races l
upon the sturdy pioneers and
shaped their personality. They
are what nature has made them.
They are able to live well now and
i
have the luxuries of life , but in
I
i the measure that they suffered ,
that their ancestry suffered , the
marks are their to tell the tale ,
the history. If our sons and
daughters shall fare better than
I we old timers , we shall rejoice and
I
be glad when they get back to the
I .
full rounded up perfect speCI- -
II
mens of our race.
