Thursday afternoou the wind blowing
a gale from the north, fire was discov
ered in the double corn crib near the
Hord & Shonsey elevator. The crib was
tilled with cobs which made a hot tire,
and the flames leaped across the road to
the Hanson barn, thence to the Kokjer
implement house, all burning to the
ground with their contents, except a
few pieces of farm machinery. Resi
dents in the neighborhood hustled out
their household effects.
Monday afternoon a team of horses
came dashing through Main street from
the south and was caught about a mile
west of Wm. Allerton's place. Upon
further facts being learned it seems that
Nela Holm, who lives on the south side
of the river was on his way to town and
when on the bridge one of the horses
which was a young one, became fright
ened, and as Mr. Holm went to their
heads thinking to quiet them, they
knocked him down breaking bis leg,
and running as above stated. Mr. Holm
was brought to town and his broken
limb set and taken home in an automo
bile by W. Chamberlin. Neither the
team or buggy were injured in the least.
At last report Mr. Holm was resting as
comfortable as could be expected.

Miss Inez Nelson, a sister of Mrs. J. A.

Cbas Ruth at thf home of her sister.
Mrs. C. C. Hard, in Columbus, on
Wednesday afternoon. The bride is well
known hero as she grew to womanhood
in this community and is held in high
esteem by everyone. The groom is
spoken or us a most excellent young
man and is the Nye, Sohneider, Flower

which united for life Miss Pauline

Up to this time we have refrained
from making any statement regarding
the sudden disappearance of Jack Ryan,
who has had charge of the Stanton Mill
ing Uo'a. business at this place. On the
morning of April 0, Mr. Ryan told his
wife that he was going to
Humphrey to work with a telephone
gang and, accordingly, took his depart
ure on the morning freight, saying that
be would telephone her that evening.
Mrs. Ryan suspected nothing bnt before
evening came she found a note in the
house from Mr. Ryan wherein he stated
that he had left for good. The
next morning Mrs. Ryan called np diff
erent parties in Humphrey and found
that be had not stopped there. On
Thursday, April 7, Arthur Graf ing saw
Mr. Ryan going through Columbus and
that was the last heard of his where
abouts. It appears that Mr. Ryan has
been drinking htavily for some time and
has spent a considerable portion of the
money belonging to the Stanton Milling
Co., leaving no records to show the con
dition of the business. Just what the
shortage is cannot yet lie determined.
Customers who hold receipts showing
that they have paid all bills for Hour or
feed are indeed fortunate. Mr. Ryan al
so leaves numerous unpaid bills about
town. It is a clear case of cowardly de
sertion and Mrs. Ryan is left practically
destitute with three small children to
care for.

As evidence that they mean what
they say when they are asking for a
bridge across the Loup, sooth of town
Monroe business men and residents of
the village have subscribed $3,000 toward
building it And the list has not been all
the way around yet Loup township
farmers are also interested in a bridge as
it means a saving of many miles of tra
vel for them in marketing their grain,
and also to do their trading. At present
their nearest town is Columbus, and it is
sixteen to eighteen miles of a trip each
way for many of them. With the bridge
they could' drive to Monroe, and if they
wished to go to the county seat, make
the trip on the train. And their land,
being that much closer to market, would
raise in value, as the distance from town
is practically the only drawback they
have. And the bridge would mean mnch
to Monroe increased trade, and more
money and business here, and quite like
ly another rural route, as this territory
could be best served from here. And a
larger town naturally raises adjacent
land values, which means mnch to every
land owner. So far the sentiment on
this side of the river is practically un
animous for the bridge, and it begins to
look as though when the subscription
list has been completed that a small bond
issue can be had to make np the neces
sary amonnt A good steel struoture is
what must be built, and it is the inten
tion of those pushing it that this is what
is to be done.

Wednesday afteraooa the editor took
aa auto ride out into the north central
aad western part of the county. We had
been led to believe that the winter wheat
.field were in bad condition but we saw
some fields, that could be considered in
f rat-class shape, others looked very thin
aad ao doubt it would be advantageous
,to put in another crop. The percentage
of failure is not so great as some think.
On March 30, 1910, Mrs. Geo. W. Gal-
;ley, sr., of Columbus, Neb., received the
sad newa of the death of her brother, W.
J. P. St. Clair at his home in Chicago.
He died at Kb) a. m. on the 19tb, of
meningitis. Deceased will be remem
bered by a number of the early settlers
of Schuyler, Colfax county and the sur
rounding country, as he was the first
agent at that place after the U. P. R. R.
was bnilt Schuyler was then called
Shell Creek station. Many, if now liv
ing, can testify of his generosity aud
hospitality in those early dajs. S; S.
Green of 8chuyler remembers coming
into the station one evening in 18G7 and
was unable to find a lodging place, when
Mr. St Clair kindly offered him a lodg
ing at his home, which was gratefully
accepted. He had his share of the hard
ships of those early days, and when one
of those awful Nebraska blizzaids came
and tore the telegraph wires down, he
would go out and faithfully do bis duty
helping the men to repair them, and
when a party of them went hunting and
had the misfortune to get caught in one
of those blizzards, he would light a lan
tern and hang it high upon a pole aa a
beacon light to guide them safely to the
station, and in tha way doubtless saved
a number of lives, as they told him that
had it not been for bis kind thought
fulness they could not possibly have
fonnd their way. He held the position
of agent at quite a number of stations
on the U. P., all the way from Schuyler
to Ogden and Salt Lake, and for a time
was also auperintendent of the Utah &
Northero, now called the Oregon Short
line. He will be remembered by many
old friends all along the line from Omaha
to Ogden and also at Salt Lake.

A case ban been decided in the district
court of Merrick county in which a
subscriber to the building fund of the
Methodist church of Fullerton was de
fendant and the Methodist church so
ciety of Fullerton plaintiff. The plain
tiff sued the defendant for $300 subscri
bed by him to the building fund, which
be had refused to pay. The court's de
cision was in favor of the plaintiff, and
the defendant must pay the amount he
subscribed and interest on the same from
the date it became due.
The beet rat catcher yet baa been dis
covered by a grain dealer in Chicago
The rata in this man's store refused to
enter traps, and there were some reasons
why he objected to the use of poison;
therefore be bought a few dozen fish
hooks and lines. Using cheese as a bait
he dropped the hooks down the rat bur
rows and waited. In the first hour be
caught at least one rat with each hook.
He says that it is much more fun than
fishing for fish, a game rat putting up a
fight that would make a big mouth bass
ashamed of his prowess. Belgrade Her
ald. W. A. Benson, of Madison county,
Montana, was in Genoa Tuesday. Forty
four years ago Mr. Benson carried Uncle
ama's mail between Columbus and Gen
oa. At that time he knew every white
man, then residing in this locality. Tues
day he could locate only two of his old
time friends -D. A. Willard and Neil
Oartwright. The latter was a resident
of Columbus when Benson was mail car
rier. Mr. Benson's parents settled in
Columbus before the Union Pacific rail
way waa extended west from Omaha.
In the pioneer days he drove a freight
team along the overland trail. When
the country settled up, Mr. Benson
moved west. He has been a freighter,
grade contractor, cow boy. buffalo hnn
ter and miner, finally settling down as a
ranchman in Montana where he takes
life easy, as hie sons are now old enough
to run the ranch.

joined a story tellers' club that thought
it had a corner on the humor of tho
universe. The man got along very !
well so long as he didn't have to say
anything, but there came a time wheu
he was put on the program for n
humorous story, and then his wifo
coached him for a week beforehand
on one of her own funniest stories.
Wheu he came home from the story
telling contest she asked him how
things went. Fie said: "Pretty well.
AH the other fellows told some
mighty good ones." Then he gave a
synopsis of the good ones the other
fellows bad told. "Darned clever,
those chaps are," be said. "I don't
know what they would thiuk of me if
they knew I had learned my story
from a woman. They don't think
much of a woman's sense of humor."
Ton needn't let that worry you,
dear," she said sweetly. "1 have
heard the other fellows wives tell
their old stories at card parties for the
last five years." New York Press.

Thereupon an unblushing Q. C. looked
