Plerco Leader : Herbert Moroy re
ceived a letter from his wife on Sat
urday and it brought the IIOWB that
the Plerco people , consisting of her
self , J. C , Morey , Fred Fry and John
Thomas , were comfortably settled on
their claims in Lyman county , South
Dakota. She says in her letter that
they were not satisfied with their first
claims and were transferred onto oth
er quarters which they think are much
better and nearer those of the Osmond
colony. Mrs. Moroy states that they
are all well and that she is doing the
cooking for the Pierce people as well
as Blair and George Goff , who have
claims adjoining theirs.
M. Dedinger , the traveling salesman
who had his hand shot off while hunt
ing on his homestead a few days ago
out from Wood Lake , Nebraska , tells
the story ol the accident. It seems
the gun was accidentally discharged
while he was picking it up by the
muzzle , the charge of the gun entire
ly cutting all the fingers off of his
right hand. After the accident , ho
and a companion had a drive of twen
ty miles to make before a doctor could
bo secured , the nearest town being
Wood Lake. They were lost.on their
way to town and wandered for almost
two hours before a house was reached
where they could get a guide. By this
time Dedinger was almost dead from
the loss of blood , and to stop the How
they wrapped a largo handkerchief
around the wrist tightening It up with
a stick. After that they made the
drive on to town where the wound
was dressed. They left on the llrst
train for Norfolk.
Pierce Leader : William Zulauf Is
home again , he having ended the rac
ing season at Tildcn last Friday when
his sorrel pacer , Captain Mack , won
first money In a blaze of glory. This
makes six straight races that Captain
Mack won-first place in the free-for-all ,
and during all these races the pretty
sorrel never lost one single heat , he
winning every ono in one , two , three
order. The most remarkable feature
of these races Is that not once during
the whole season did Captain Mack
break or make a mis-step of any kind.
Probably no other animal that has
raced this season can show such a
record. Mr. Zulauf was in two other
races besides these six , at Norfolk and
Battle Creek. At the former place
the horse paced only ono heat , becom
ing deathly sick in the second heat ,
which necessitated bis being atken to
the barn whore it was thought he
would die , but happily ho gradually
became better. The supposition is
that the animal was doped. At the
latter place the horse finished second
place. Mr. Zulauf and Captain Mack
have certainly made a creditable rec
ord this year and have advertised our
town in a splendid manner. The people
ple of Plerco heartily congratulate Mr.
Zulauf on his successful racing season.

The Norfolk high school football
team left for Sioux City this morning ,
, \vliero they will play the Mornlngslde
team of that plnco this afternoon. Al
though the team have been victorious
In their games played this season , It
is not probable that they will come

Sioux City eleven fastened to their
belts , as Sioux City will undoubtedb
have the best men they can get for
this game , out of their largo number
of students. It did not look very en
couraging for the boys this morning
when it was found that several of the
team were not on hand at the station ,
but through the kindness of the train
crow the train was held a few min
utes until they had all arrived. The
colors of the high school were worn
by all members of the team and the
yell was given before the train pulled
out.
O'Neill Frontier : Walter HorlHkcy
met with a distressing accident last

depot when a stock train came
through. The train slacked speed as
It passed the station and Walter
climbed onto the side ladder of a carte
to ride a short distance. Just about
at the switch east of the depot he
jumped off or fell off , striking on his
head on a rail of the side track. Ho
was rendered unconscious by the fall
and lay helpless on the track when
picked up by his companions He was
found seriously hurt and n buggy was
procured and ho was taken homo , Drs.
P. J. Flynn and E. T. Wilson being
summoned. Ills forehead was cut open
to the bone and a terrible gash on the
side of his face. The ph > hielans
dressed the wounds , sewing the torn
flesh together. The patient talked In
correctly but did iKt regain conscious
ness for o\or two hours. When he
came to himself ho could give no ac
count of how he was hurt or how he
got off of the 'car , remembering only
that ho had climbed onto the same.
