Ft. Niobrara is not slated for
abandonment but it is to be re
tained for future use as a post and
there is no use talking of opening
it up for settlement. This gives
hopes that at some time the gov
ernment will rebuild and make
one of the best-posts in the U. S.
of Ft. Niobrara which is an ideal
place for many reasons for army
purposes. Don't forget that Fort
Niobrara will yet come to the
front and be known far and wide
as the greatest reserve post for
quartering U. S. troops in times
of peace or for a recuperating
station.
The boxing contest came off last
Saturday nignt between Kid Ryan
and Lee Davis. It was a tame af
fair , Ryan laying down in the
third round. He was no match
for Davis and probably thought
he'd live to fight another day by
not going too strong here. The
preliminary contests between
Bryan Quigley and Othel Bache
lor and of Roy Brosius and
Billy Keeley of two rounds each
were fast and furious and no fak
ing. They pummeled each other
all the time and the cheering was
loud and hilarious. They gave a
good exhibition and spectators got
their money's worth in those two
events , but were disgusted with
Kid Ryan , though perhaps he did
his best while ha stayed but was
outclassed and after the first round
was chased around the ropes ,
knocked down three or four times
and finally with a bloody nose
fryttf tiowa in th'e third
