The hog market was all a flurry last

A boy was brought to Supervisor
Speice one day last week as a fit subject
for aid. The lad, eleven years old, was
very closely questioned, and answered
that his father and mother were dead
and buried, that he had had a home at
Mahood's two or three weeks, and the
kind-hearted supervisor started out to
see Mahood, but on his way was stopped
by the boy's father. Another case the
same day was that of a man who claimed
to have been held up near St Edward
and shot in the leg, and Mr. Speice had
just written an order for him to be re
ceived at the hospital for treatment
when in came the marshal of Genoa and
said the man was wanted as an all
around crook. It wasn't the first of
April, either.

About five years ago, remarks the
Genoa Leader, Fred Campbell, while
spending a vacation with his brother
Ed of the Loup, lost his pocket book
containing about $12. No trace of it
could be found and Fred charged it up
to profit and loss account A few days
ago a carpenter who was at work on the
house at the time asked Ed if they ever
got that pocket book he nailed up over
one of the windows. He said that he
supposed they put it there to test his
honesty and he consequently nailed it
it up. An investigation was made and
the pocket book was found with con
tents intact and Fred has $12 more
wealth than he supposed.
Friday morning at eight the fire
alarm sounded, and the department with
many citizens gathered at the residence
of R. G. Hurd, on G street between
Eleventh and Twelfth. The fire origi
nated at the kitchen chimney, and was
well under way when the alarm was
first given from an engine at the B. &
M yards close by. After the firemen
arrived and the hose were attached to
hydrants the flames were soon under
complete control. Most of the house
hold goods were taken out of the burn
ing building. We learn that the insur
ance was $400, loss about $200.
At Genoa Thursday the fourth ball
game of the series of five was won by the
Indian nine against Clarks, the score
standing:
Indians 01610001 211
Clarks 000 0100 0 34
This makes the contest stand two games
each, so that the next will be more than
usually interesting. In addition to the
ball game there was a foot race between
Coyou (an Indian) and John Randall
of this city, in which Coyou came out
several feet ahead, in a run of a hundred
yards.
Rev. S. B. Hayes returned from

urrection morn. He has the deep sym
pathy of a host of friends in this deep
sorrow which only a father's heart can

Bills allowed:

B. McCray, 105 56
Seventy-seven dollars and six cents of
the last bill was for lumber, brick and
nails. Committee reported that west
room upstairs second ward needs ceiling
papered; east room upstairs, papering
all over, etc Committee directed to
make repairs.
Committee on buildings and grounds
recommended the purchase of Bouth
half, block 19, in Becher Place if it could
be had at a reasonable price. This is
two blocks east of Walter Phillips's
We since learn that the price asked is
$1750.
Seventy-five single desks were or
dered. Janitors Ballou, Warner and Novell
were re-elected, there being no other ap
plicants except Wm. Carson, for the
second ward.
The assignment of teachers was made
heretofore printed in The Joubnax.
The salaries, too, were decided upon
Sup't Scott's being raised from $1100 for
the nine months, to $1200; the primary
teachers, Miss Matthews, Miss Rice and
Mrs. Scott to receive $50 a month, being
an increase of $5 each per month; Mr.
Brittel an increase, from $60 to $65 a
month; the teacher succeeding Mrs. A.
C. Ballou, as principal of the high
school who received $800, to receive
$675, being a decrease of about $15 a
month. The other teachers are to be
paid $40 and $45 a month. The scale
adopted was a substitute offered by
Henry, in place of that agreed upon and
reported by the committee, the substi
tute receiving the support of all the
members except Schupbach.
Messrs. H. B. Reed, Carl Rhode und
D. B. Duffy of a committee of five (W.
T. Ernst and John Wise being the other
two), appointed by patrons of the Reed
school, appeared before the board to
present the wishes of the patrons. They
asked that the partition in the school
room be taken out, a storm-door made,
room be reseated, a new blackboard fur
nished, etc. Referred to committee
with power to act. As to teacher, one
had been employed for the place, and
the matter was referred to committee
on teachers. The separation of that
part of the district was talked of, and
the committee informed as to some
phases of the finances, etc.
Sup't Scott said he had received an
application from Miss Uher as a teacher
of shorthand and type-writing. Also
that the teacher of music, Mrs. Page,
had requested him to ask the board to
allow her the coming year to teach the
school children direct, instead of, as last
year, indirectly by teaching the teachers.
Adjourned. .
Andrew Sturac brought suit last
week against Mr. Mesec, both living in
the bottom, damages for shooting two
chickens. The damage was placed at
81.00, but the testimony showed that
the chickens killed were two-month-old
pullets, and probably worth fifteen cents
apiece, certainly not more than twenty
five cents. The butchered pullets were
eaten by the owner, was one item of the
testimony. Mesec claimed five dollars
damage as an offset, claiming to have
been injured by a flock of 'ihickons run
ning at large over his cultivated land,
beside what was done by geese, cow, etc.,
belonging to the plaintiff. The attor
neys, Judge Hensley for the plaintiff,
and C. A. Woosley for the defendant,
contested for their clients with the same
zeal and shrewdness as they would have
done had hundreds of dollars been in
volved in the result. Judge Hudson
gave his decision that Mesec was en
titled to $1.00 damage. The costs of
suit, $9.05, followed the judgment, so
that $10.05 to pay, is what the plaintiff
got for bringing suit Hearing of this
case reminded John Burrell of one tur
nip that cost him $1.00, without any
law-suit and the writer hereof of 84.50
he paid for a bushel and a half of roast
ing ears that the other fellow got the
use of.
Randall Fuller, the founder of Ful
lerton, Nebraska, was in the city Satur
day on business. He is just back from
a trip to the World's fair, to Minnesota,
Alaska, etc. He says that he has been
on the go since he was two years old,
seeking new countries. Across the
plains in '49, '52, '54, '59, '60 and '66; was
on his way to the Black Hills with cattle
when Hugh Compton told him about
Nance county, and, after a little inves
tigation, he pitched his tent where Ful
lerton is, thinking it would some time
be a good place for a town. He has
lived at Ohlahoma City for four years,
making the race for claims along with
the crowd. He is a remarkable man in
several respects very vigorous for his
age, seventy years, "early to bed and
early to rise," one of Dr. Franklin's
favorite maxims, being also one of his in
theory and practice; he never smoked a
cigar or pipe; never swore any; never
took but one chew of tobacco; never
drank but one glass of beer and never
played cards, although he has been all
over the new countries and with all
kinds of people. He evidently enjoyed
his trips to Alaska, Yellowstone Park
and Yosemite, but he said they were
costly. He looks in rugged health, and
you can readily notice by the snap of his
eye that he expects to live as long as ho
can Bee anybody else living.
There is a moral attached to this
tale of woe, so that you who would walk
two blocks around to avoid a reference
to anything like the application of a
moral principle, had better not read this
further. A young man was married, and
in due course of time, for what reasons
does not appear, left his wife, who be
came a charge upon tho city. Before
leaving, the man had worked for the
city to the extent of $62.25, but had sold
his claim, presumably to an innocent
purchaser, as the law phrase is, but it
seems the purcliaser shaved the claim,
getting it at a discount of $5.25. It ap
peared to Councilman Spoerry, (and
when he is unable to see through a
grind-Btone it is because there is no hole
in it), that the purchaser was subject to
pay $35 as a broker's tax under the oc
cupation license ordinance. Tho pur
chaser has taken legal council and it is
presumed that the matter will now go
through the courts to a legal finish.
Well, you have read this far for the
1 moral. State it for yourself.
