A Runaway Spoiled.

A little rifle of excitement was caused
in our burgh last Tuesday evening when
Sheriff Courtney walked into the chair
car on the arrival of train 204 and arrest
ed young lady who had skipped from
the parental roof at Wallace, and was
bound for Des Moines, Iowa. The arrest
was made in consequence of a telegram
from the father of the girl to the sheriff
and the girl was taken to hotel to await
the arrival of her father the following
morning. But, though captured, this
young Miss was not subdued and de-
family announced her resolution ever to
go back and sent for an attorney. The
meeting between father and daughter on
Wednesday morning was stormy one,
but through the effort, her attorney and
the sheriff, a compromise was at last
effected, the girl being allowed to 60 on
her visit to her divorced mother and she
promising to return if allowed to go.

A Fatal Runaway.

Last Monday horse hitched to cart
made of pair of wagon wheels dashed
into town from the south and was caught
at Lank's barn. The horse was recog-
nized as belonging to Frank Mason, liv-
ing about seven miles south OF this place.
One of his neighbors who is working in
town took the horse and cart and took
them out to Mason's place, and suppos-
ing that Mason would soon be home, tied
the horse to a post. Next morning see
ing the horse still tied to the post, went
over there and found that Mason was
still missing, and came to town and or
ganized a searching party to hunt for
him. Charley Steward and E. S. Lank
went to Masou's house and finding the
cart tracks made the morning before fol-
lowed them to a point about three miles
south of Hill City, when they saw the cart
tracks turn out of the road, and following
the tracks a few rods found the dead
body of Mason lying in the grass. The
other searchers were called up and the
body was brought into town and an in
quest indicated that the horse had ran
away and threw him out and killed him
instantly, and the coroner's jury returned
verdict accordingly.
The deceased was living alone on his
farm and had no relatives in this county
He was inferred in the Hill City GEM

That Ball Game.

All you that did not go missed circus
1t has been our lot during our brief but
tempestuous life to witness many strange
and laughable things, but never, no
never, did we see such a wonderful ball
game ca as took place last Monday be-
tween the Infants and Venerables II
was simply immense. On the one side
there was good showing of short people
full of skill and on the other, long people
full of muscle. Saum acted as umpire
and made good one-for the spectators
G. Ii. Gibbs acted as captain of the Ven
CRADLES and also did some scientific pitch.
ing. Mack Marshall, catcher; Claud
Henkel, first base; W. Gibson, second
base; W. B. Kelly, third base; G. A.

while T. r. Moore, Carl Henkel, George
l. Verbeck, S. d. Thompson, Len
Schmitt and Cliff. Bakers three goats &C.
cupied the field. The Infant nine was
composed of Fritz Conger, Art. Charvat
1nl ACoS I4AOhg hOIOSIb 0OOlSOQ, Dull
falo" Inscho, "Coon" Sellers, Louis
Brown, Roy Marshall and little Charlie
Gibson. The following is the score by
innings:
Yenerables 7S2 6 10S 67E5e
Infants - 9 81 II . I17-55
Earned runs, none. Two very base
hits, Gibbs and Thompson. Home run
Verbeck (said man wanted to see him al
the store). Bases on balls, 81. Errors
innumerable.
We started in to give a full report OF
the game but had only got to where
George 1. S. d. Thompson Verbeck
pounded safe two-bagger, Hoar famed
out, and Hogan hit an easy grounder to
Charvat, who threw Moore out at first,
when discussion arose as to whether the
new rules allowed Claud Henkel, who
was behind the bat, to catch with his
stomach, and by the time the umpire had
decided it in the negative we had lost the
run Of the game-if it ever had any.

There is certain family in Wa.

their friends. They are fortunate q
enough to have a large number OF
acquaintance living in two towns situated
just nice days drive on each side of this
place, and these acquaintance in each
neighboring town seem to think il their
bounden duty to visit their acquaintance
In the other town about once a week. and
seem also to think it proper to stop and
stay over night on their way with their
Wa-keeney friends. The consequence is
that our home people are entertaining
from one to a dozen 'star boarders'
almost all the time, as well as having to
feed and care for their teams and are
rarely allowed to eat meal alone. It is

Valuable Information.

A small book entitled Abstract OF
statistical rolls of Trego county for $780,
compiled from the assessors returns, by
c. A. Hoar is before us.
The interested tax payer can CLEAN
from its pages much useful and valuable
information in regard to what we are
doing in our county, and by comparing it
with the same record of one year ago, can
readily learn in what we are advancing
and in what we are retrograding. To
give it all would be too much of an
undertaking for an article of this nature,
but we will give few Of the more i'm
portant points.
The total number of acres in farms is
138.O94, the assessed value OF which is
S97I,O Number OF acres of winter
wheat sown in the fall of 1889, II, 769, and
of rye 1880. In the spring of 1890 the
acres of products sown or planted were:
spring wheat 40; corn Z ,022; barley 296;
oats 2,84S; Irish potatoes 314; sweet po-
tatoes Is; sorghum 1906; castor beans %;
fax 8; broom corn 238, and millet 1,249.
On March l, 1890, we had on hand 16.167
bushels of corn and 3, 528 bushels ofwheat.
We cut last year of tame hay 1,722 tons,
and of prairie hay 8, 251 ton and have 1888
acres of meadow under fence. We
marketed l, 439 dollars worth of garden
truck, and poultry to the amount of
S3,097. In the dairy line we made 1,522
pounds of cheese and 1924 pounds of
butter and sold milk (other than to
creameries) to the amount of 81, 060.
In the line of live stock we had on hand
2,069 horses, 157 mules, 2,016 mich COWS,
$3.50 other cattle, 1876 sheep, 500 swine
besides selling and slaughtering animals
of the value of S3O,557. The total wool
clip is given at Is, 40 pounds. We have
1,539 fruit trees in bearing and II, 095 not
yet bearing, also 5 acres of berries, and
1905 acres of artificial forest.
A strange feature of the report is the
showing that we marketed five dollars
worth of wood last year after throwing
the usual amount at the IA dogs which
our people admit they own and the 1901
which no one claims.
Ogallah township leads in acres, farm
machinery, winter wheat, corn, oats, Irish
potatoes, millet, corn and wheat on hand,
garden products, butter and swine.
Riverside excels in tams hay, bearing
fruit trees and value of horticultural
products.
Collyer excels in rye, barley. spnrig
wheat, sorghum, poultry and eggs,
cheese, other cattle and dogs.
Franklin takes the cake on sweet
potatoes, broom corn and clover.
Glencoe has two distinctive features
the most acres of meadows under fence
and the fewest dogs.
Wilcox beats them all on castor beans
and nurseries.
Wa-Keeney township revels in fax.
mich COWS, milk, sheep, wool clip, value
of animals sold, horses, and mules and
asses.

In an unguarded moment promised

In compliance with their request 1 now

In the first place H. Hobbick and my

spent few hours at Pueblo, where we
saw H. F. Morse and Mike Cary. There
are other Trego county people there, but
we did not have time to look them up.
The number of Wa-Keeney and Trego

so surprising. Every section of the state

There is great deal of building going

work to be done. The 81 rate brought
hundreds of people here. Some came for
work and others came because they could
travel SO cheaply. The demand for la
borers was overrun for awhile. Common
laborers get from $3.50 to 1925 per day
of ten hours; mechanics get from $3.50
to So or even So per day. Some trades
work eight hours and some work ten
hours for day. Mechanics chances are
somewhat uncertain now on account of
the eight hour strike. Persons coming
here for work must not expect to get en-
ployment the first day; neither can they
get the highest wages in the beginning.

The dry weather of the past few
weeks does not seem to have interfered
with the scalp crop in any, way Judging
from the amount on the market last Sat
urday. One party from Glencoe town
ship brought in twenty five wolf scalps,
for which he received the nice little sum
of $50, and enough more was brought In,
IN smaller lots to amount to $50. This
is but another instance Of the wonderful
resources of our country. What other
country is there where, when the wheat
crop fails, the farmer can shoulder his
nile and sally forth to harvest the wolf
scalp crop to the tune of $50 per week?
