firm, but It failed to produce.
J. J. Stewart, attorney for 8. G. Under

denied the rumors ot the rich finds on the
property but persistent rumors say that
sufficient gold has been taken out to pay

An enterprising real estate man Interested
In exploiting Texas lands Is credited with
doing a thriving business up In Loup county
with the assistance of a horoscope reader.
The astrologer has a dignified and com'
mandlng presence, and he and the real
estate man will stop at soma town, but at
different hotels, and are apparent strangers
to each other.
Mr. Real Estate Man advertises the ad
vantages of Texas. He finally suggests
to a receptive customer that Just for tho
fun of the thing they go over and have
their horoscope read by the astrologer.
Of course neither gives the result of his
respective horoscope 'readings away, but
the next day the receptive citlken closes a
deal with the Texas' 'teal estate man for
several hundred dollars worth ot Texas
land.
The astrologer has told him, "You are
about to Invest In some Texas property and
should close the deal at once, as It will be
the making of your fortune."
No enterprising citizen Is going to let a
tip of that kind get away from him and
so he Invests, while the smooth rear estate
man and astrologer slip off to some other
town and work the same Job off on other
easy cltlsens.

The life of Miss Jessie Rutan was saved
by the promptness of her father, Peter
Rutan, a pioneer rancher of Lyman county.
While the s-lrl was walking across a low
land near the home of her father she ran
upon a monster rattlesnake. Before she
could make her escape It hud twice burled
its fange In one of her feet. Crazed for
the time by fright, the girl rushed to her
rather, who without an Instant's delay
sucked the poison out of the wounds and
then applied a solution of soda and kero
sene. This done, he hurried the slrl to the
sanitarium at Chamberlain, where she is
rapidly recovering.

Neway Finally Comes to Relief of
Two Men Who Mlsa tho
siam.
Since Sixteenth street oetween Farnam
and PouKlas streets has been undergoing
repairs street cars have been stopping for
passengers only on the south side of Far
nam. Because of this several people who
wished to go north have been fooled.
During the rain Monday a bright looking
young man In company with an older man
walked briskly over the Improvised cross
ing on the north side of Sixteenth Just as
a car was approaching from the south.
The two men were in conversation and
the elder was "seeing" his companion to
the car.
"Well." began the young fellow. Til be
down In time for the show tonight This
car will get me home In time to get supper
and then I'll hurry back.
"All right," harmonised his friend, "I'll
wait for you at the Henshaw."
By that time the car was crossing Six
teenth street. It came on to the two men.
The younger one turned to say a final
word.
"Don't forget"
Just then he glanced around to see that
the car had not stopped, but was half way
down the block. He stepped off the cross
ing as If to run after It; then ohanged his
mind.
'It must have been filled up," he said.
'Ouess that's right. Well, you can wait
for the next. There it Is, only a block
down."
So ths two waited and again the car
passed them up.
'Gee, there's something wrong here," de-
claaed the older man."
At that moment a newsboy, who had
watched the performance from under an
awning at the Faxton building ran out to
the two wondering individuals.
""You fellows will have to get over on
the other side of, the street to get a car."
was the Information he tendered. "They
don't stop here any more. See that sign."
