THIRTEENTH YEAR.-Wi,h this num-
Der of THE CHIEF We end the 18th VOL
urn and enter upon the 18th year Of its
existence. Tue CHIEF is one Of the
pioneer institutions OF Webster county,
it having been founded by the early
settlers twelve years ago when the
present city Of Red Cloud was but =
a dot on Nebraska's fertile plains and ut
a time when but very few people lived
in this section. The first copies Of the
paper we're issued from a dugout where
Miner Bros. store now stands. In
those days the buffalo and the festive
red man roamcd at will over the hills
and dales that are now occupied by the
pale faced brethren. Those times have
gone. the Indians have moyed on and
with the buffalo roam over more west
ern plains. During the years gone by
the paper has steadily prospered and
each succeeding week has published
. miniature history of the Transporting
events Of Red Cloud and Webster
county. THE CHIEF is therefore close
ly allied to the early and present his
tory of Red Cloud and vicinage. and
for this, in part, is due the indomitable
energy and enterprise of the early pi-
oneers in sustaining i. during the early
days. BY their acts THE CHIEF is to-
day in the front ranks Of Nebraska's
solid newspapers. During the two
years just elapsed the present proprie-
tor has more than doubled the circula-
ton, and today THE CHIEF has more
bonafida subscribers than any paper in
the valley, and is rapidly increasing.
This shows that the people appreciate
a good newspaper. from the fact it 10 a
welcome visitor in hundreds Of homes.
not only in Nebraska. but in every
state and territory in the Union. We
have prospered in the past and the fu-
ture outlook for the paper is all tha,
one could desire or care for. We shall
still continue ITO improve the paper
from time to time and feel satisfied that
We shall merit tie same kindly patron
age that has been extended in the past.

FROM THE taRIssEL., GOLDEN BELT

FROM THB t}RISNELL) GOLDEN BELT.
We are Informed by gentleman who stop
ped at Colby, Thomas county, on Thursday o!
last week, that q most ludicr0us panic was
created at that place on the same evening by
| rider tearing into town at break-neck speed
yelling, 1.-The Indians are cOming!'' declaring
that they had crossed the railroad at Monu.
ment and were in full tilt for Colby. The re.
suit was that in less time than it takes to tel
mp, and men. women and children climbed in
to the wagons and skedaddlcd for Atwood,
with horses on full run. The gentleman states
| that in less than half An hour after the alarm
was giveu Colby was very nearly depopulated.
He says the fleeing chivalry gave tine alarm to
| the settlers on the road, but did not stop ia
help them away; among these was helpless
WOMAN with four little children, who had no
| means OF escape, and were left by the terror
stricken crowd to the mercy OF the blood
thirsty savage. Truly, Colby is on Il boom.
We would politely inform .nis gentleman
that he is prevaricator of the truth-Or il,
other words, q liar. In the first place there
was no one came riding q horse at break neck
speed" certain person came here on a loaG
| of lumber, and told what he had heard in an
| other town. His report alarmed q few of the
women and children, but who were braver
| than the few re;reatins men who conveyed the
| news. Tho element which has made Colby. and
is to-day carrying her on. have never beer
| frightened and never contemplate leaving the
county. Our town Is booming. and on the
morning after the news of the indians came
two large loads of land hunters and business
men came to our town to start In business and
take land. Colby will he live growing city
| when the town where the above article was
written is forgotten. Gentle writer. when you
are next at a loss for q truth to convey to
your readers come over to Colby and you car
procure something of interest to all.
