HAS CLOSE CALL
VtfiTH DRUNKEN { MAN
John Bachelor-faced an appar-
ent desperado , or burglar Monday
night about 10 o'clock , when he
went to his kitchen door in re- .
sponse to a rough and boisterous
attempt to enter.
f
The door was locked , and , as
the intruder had tried the door
.
Mr. Bachelor demanded : "Who's \
there ? "
I .
"Don't make any difference , "
came the response.
.
"What do you want ? " asked
John. .
"Forget it , " came the reply ] ,
and another attempt to force the
door.
John went after his sixshooter ,
and returning , opened the door ,
but his visitor seemed to be gone ,
so John shot out in the darkness
and stepped down on the walk to
make a . search , when , ' from be-
hind a tree , he was struck over
the head with a bottle of beer
which came near laying him out ,
but he rallied and came back with
a blow over the head of his as-
sailant with his sixshooter which
staggered ; him and he started to
get away.
John doesn't remember any
more , excepting that he dropped '
his gun at that blow , and thinks
he struck at him with his fist and
and grabbed him as he tried to
get away.
, jfew moments later , when
, y m. Heelan and Alex Kief came
running from in front of the Lay-
port residence next door , they
found John sitting straddle of the
prostrate form of a man with
hands to his throat and calling to
his wife , "Don'D be afraid , I've
got him. "
They raised Mr. Bachelor up
and he staggered to the house. .
Then , turning their attention to
the other man , whom they sup-
posed to be dead , as . . he lay there
lifeless , they raised him up and he
soon rallied and got onto his feet.
He was recognized as Earl Hols-
claw. A friend came and led him
away. His head was cut ' and
bleeding , and , Tuesday morning ,
as he appeared in Judge Quigley's
court in answer to a1 charge of as-
sault , his face bore the signs of
two or three heavy blows , beside
the cut across his head with John's
revolver. The judge lined him
§ : 35 and costs. He claimed ] to
know nothing of the night'S
doings but pleaded guilty to the
charge. He is said to have been
on several sprees of late. ,
The Omaha boosters came into
Valentine on schedule time Mon
day afternoon and made our city
buzz like a street carnival i for a
h lalf hour , taking moving pictures
as the parade came up the street
and again as the train departed. ,
They also took a moving picture
of their train as it crossed the
new bridge across the Niobrara ,
which is 160 ft high and a quarter
of a mile long , on the new six-
mile cut off. These moving pic-
tures will be shown all summer at
the Ak-Sar-Ben den in Omaha and
then will be turned over to a
prominent film exchange and . go
the rounds of the country , which
will result in much valuable ad-
vertising of Valentine.

Col. W. H. Davis and wife de
parted for their home at York ,
Nebr. , Wednesday morning. They
say they are coming again inside
,
of the next six years : , and ye edi-
tor and wife hope for more fre-
quent visits now that they have
learned that Valentine is on the
U. S. map. Col. Davis carried
away the honors at checkers from
the local players and they're all
wanting a chance to play some
more. They enjoyed the fishing ,
though the weather was too cool
for a good catch. Mrs. Davis
claims the honors with the hook

They take this opportunity of ex-

splendid audience and the liberal
patronage they received. We
noticed among those attending ,

was well rendered. All entered
into their parts with a vim. J.
E. Thackrey did the comic as
"Capt. Arnold" to the entire sat-
isfaction of the house. Robert
Elli , as the "Ex-Convict , " was
plainly a : favorite. H. A. Lore , I
who was under the shadow , car- I
ried a heavy part. Mrs. : Lore , as
the proud wife , was a success.
She carried her audience through
the various scenes of life with
ease and tact. Jennie Reece , as
e
little Mamie , played her part well ,
with her wreath of roses in effect-
ing the reconciliation pf her par-
ents , also won the love and ad-
miration of her audience. E. R.
Stilhvell , as the servant , was
I
promptly on hand. He had no I
need for a prompter. J.C. Reece , | I
in white wig and moustache , as I
the ! aged father , is entitled to
credit for his imitation of a man
of 70. Mrs : , Edythe Latta , as the
charming daughter , rendered her
part in a very satisfactory Ynan-
ner. C. S. Reece , as Lieut. Man-
ley , wooed and won the blushing
daughter. The society is glad to
acknowledge its indebtedness to
