Tull have bought the Posey Stables
property on Main street 75xl50 feet

1t may not be generally known out
side of musical circles that kingman
has the most artistic banjoist of his
age il America in the person Of Ed
ward A. Buckley, but such is a fact.
He is what might properly be called a
charmer. His music and moonlight
| combined are arch-destrOyers of bach
elors' and maidens' peace, and sworn
enemies of careful mammas. In his
solos he turns his instrument two rev.
olutions in the air, keeping perfect

wonder as Blind Tom.

home and family in kingman county, NE

| am satisfied that there is one house
in this city presided over by one
madam that could explain all. While
upon this subject, deem it advisable
to inform the county attorney, the
mayor and city marshal, that this city
is iull of thugs of the worst sOrt-mOre
than has been known at any one time
since the railroad reached the town.
That there are four or five well or
gained houses Of i'll fame on our best
residence streets. Some of them are
fences and harbors of thieves and rob-
bers. and one of them could to-day ex-
plain who the murderer or murderers
of young Crumley are. The right kind
of work could easily locate the guilty
ones. They are here, right in this
town, and can be seen any day upon
the streets, and if the officers can not
pick them out they had better consult
some of the newspaper reporters. Mr..
officers, do your duty.
In fight Saturday night on the cor
ner of Main and Sherman streets,
Mike Bremen stabbed Bill Wilcox, a
bartender, in the left cheek, cutting
nearly the lower half off. DIR. Yancy
