McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-02-07


Richard is himself again. The edi-
tor of the Courier, it seems, is utterly
unable to rctaie his spleen againt our
town and THE TRIBUNE any length of
time
The question of building school
house is being discussed by our citizens.
The advantages that would accre to our
town from a good school all understand
and appreciate. Let us have school
building that will be source of pride
to our people.
The train was delayed 20 minutes at
Denver in receiving eleven dead bodies,
which passed through McCook, Friday,
on the B. & NJ, enroute to Pennsylvania.
They were victims of the Crested Butte
disaster. Three parties accompany the
bodies to their destination.
By an official circular from the B. &
NJ. road, it is announced that hereafter
passenger trains No. 3 and 4, running
between Omaha and Red Cloud, will be
run every day in the week, Sundays in
cluded. These trains have not been
Sunday trains heretofore and the change
will be appreciated by the travelling
public.
Last Sunday, Squire Fisher, in his
inapproachable style, united in the holy
bonds of matrimony, George P. Weick
and Mrs. Jacobina P. Rail, both of
South McCook. As both of the high
contracting parties have sailed ON the
calm sea of matrimony for number of
years, they know the breakers and will
be able to avoid squalls, and THE TR1B-
UNE wishes them bon voyage.
A. W. Corey, whose ranch is situated
about three miles east of McCook, has
a fine bunch of 200 cattle which he is
grading, as are the majority of stock
men in this section of country, higher
and better each year. MIR. Corey has
1000 acres under fence, comprising one
of the finest little ranches along the
river. He also has one of the best pedi.
gree Short-Horn bulls in Red Willow
county.
McGee & Campbell of Brownville,
Neb., have entered body of land in
the Mecklin Canyon in Hitchcock coun-
ty, for ranch purposes. They intend
to stock the same, which we are inform
ed will make one of the finest in this
locality, in the spring, either with ma
tive or eastern cattle. Possessing the
requisite, they will make valuable ac-
QUESTION to the stock interests of the
valley.
The County Commissioners have been
making some needed improvements in
the Court House. The Clerk and Treas
urer now occupy different rooms, and
these have been plastered and castings
put on. The vault is being pigeon-holed
and otherwise made more convenient as
recepticle for the valuable papers and
books it is intended to preserve. The
Court Room is to be finished and jury
room built. The contract has been let
for this work.
At the Phantom Party to be given by
the Social Club, Wednesday evening,
of next week, none but bona fde phan-
toms will be allowed to participate in
the dance until after unmasking time.
The ladies who are preparing a supper
for the occasion, desire us to state that
none but maskers will be invited to
partake of their repast. To those who
may receive invitations our advice would
be to see that the sheet and pillow case
be not wanting-as they will miss half
the enjoyment Of the evening.
\ Tuesday afternoon, the 22d ultimo,
MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Hocknell started
with their baby for New Orleans, hop
ing that the little one under the healing
influence Of that sunny cline might he
come we'll and strong. MIR. Hncknell
