We had to.-We understand that some of
our leading citizens blame Us for the arrest
of Colonel Jim Drake, who was pinched and
taken to Omaha the other day. We did
write letter to the sheriff that Jim was
here and could be had any day in the week,
but We had to. He not only persistently re-
fused to subscribe for "The Kicker" but he
avoided our grocery and dealt with non ad-
vertisers. In addition to this Jim was get
ting pufPed up and conceited, and he had an
idea that he was running the town. We
