McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-08-28

The Ladies' Union will give an Apron
Fair and Festival at Menard's Hall,
Thursday evening, September 4th.
Let's make strong effort to have a
cooler built. The regular meeting Of
the Board occurs next Tuesday evening
We have enough citizens who are inter,
ested in this matter, to build it by sub
scription.
I The cowboys have been gathering in
the last of this week, preparatory to the
beef roundup, which commences at the
head of the Willow on September LIST.

We are sorry to record the death of
James Shepherd, an old resident of this
county. The old gentleman had over
lived mans allotted time, being ~
years of age, and had been in feeble
health for some months. He passed
away quietly at his ranch northwest of
here, Sunday night.
GLOW are the mighty fallen p The
Courier comes to us, this week, reduced
to one-half it's size. Another instance
Of having bitten off more than could be
masticated. Now, if the Courier man
agement will eliminate number of
those dead stock adds he will have more
space to devote to his readers. No fee.
Drunkenness continues prevalent and

something in the way of a cooler is
provided wherein to allay the over
heated, who can be seen on our streets
daily. A cooler will reduce the number
of drunken men on our streets so per
cents. We need it, and need it badly.
Some parties drove off twelve head of
sheep for John Evert, who lives in the
bottom east of town, Tuesday night.
The same bunch was offered for sale by
two drovers to Thos. Ruggles, who lives
number of miles north of Evert' |
place, the next morning. About noon, |
eleven Of the sheep returned home, hay
ing in some manner escaped from the |
thieves.
There is absolutely nothing to be said
in mitigation of the fast riding INDUCED
in through the business portion of our
town. Every time some thick pated,
individuals imbibe one
glass of beer do they exhibit their fool
Some innocent little one
will sometime pay the penalty of this
thing with broken limbs or possibly
worse results.
