From the Nonpareil. Judge J. .1. Sullivan was up from Omaha Tuesday, called hereby the hear ing in the Payne will case. City life has not spoiled tbe Judge and he is the same affable gentleman as of yore. He was much taken with the new Union Pacific depot and thinks it one of tbe prettiest buildings of the sort he has ever seen. It may be of interest to some of our readers to learn that one man has tested his seed corn and that he found it in good condition. Cbas Willoughby made a thorough test of tbe corn be bad picked for seed and every kernel that he planted sprouted. If others have as good results there will be no danger of Merrick county losing that 260,000. It is feared, however, that all tbe tests will not prove as satisfactory. The Nonpar eil would like to hear from others who have been making tests.

The mules started to run and tbe disc was pulled over him. How be escaped be ing ground to pieces is a matter be is still pondering, hut be wasn't. He was caught in such a way. however, that he was dragged for about forty rods The mules finally stopped and Dunlap, with tbe assistance of John Page was able to extricate himself from the disc. He wus pretty badly brniBed. but his injuries were not serious. Ordinal ily when a disc runs over a man it mikt s a eood imita tion of sausage out of him and Dunlap has reason to be pretty thnnkftill over bis escape. NO REASON FOR DOUBT.
