day setting forth statements concern
ing one Thomas A. Stratton that in
volvc grave charges. For the alleged
injury that the said Thomas has done
to the plaintiff the neat sum Of $4,000
is asked. In the petition it is declared
that on the 18th day Of November, 1890,
at her home in Red Willow county, the
said Miss Dole pllghted her love to
Thomas A.. Stratton, who agreed to
marry her on the 18th day of May,
1891. The plaintiff declares her viii
ilngness to marry the defendant at any
time and furthermore has always been
willing to marry him since the event
full day in November. Under this
promise of marriage the defendant is
said to have seduced the plaintiff great
ly to her injury. Afterwards on the
22d day of January the defendant re-
nounced and cancelled the marriage
contract and now refuses to renew it
and marry the plaintiff. Wherefore the
plaintiff prays judgment against the
defendant for the sum of $4,000.
The plaintiff was a school teacher in
Red Willow county, and the defendant
is a citizen of Stratton, Hitchcock
county, said to be well-to-do.-State

PEACE TO HIS ASHES.

Last Sunday afternoon at Indianola
the wasted remains of poor Frank Wore
were laid away under the sod and the
dew, awaiting the judgment day. After
years of suffering death came to his re-
lief. A clever, whole-souled boy was
Frank Wore, and scores of friends we're
his; and over them all the sad circum-
stances of his prolonged illness and
gruesome death throw a deep shadow.
The obsequies at Indianols were
largely attended. Ruthven Division,
Knights Of Pythias, of our city, had
the remains in charge.
Peace to his ashes.

1t is of vast Importance to the pro-
ject that every possible mile of irrigat-
ing bitches be constructed, this sum-
mer. A few miles in operation will do
more for the enterprise than all other
agencies combined. The unanswerable
logic of practical demonstration will do
more to give irrigation an impetus than
anything else. We can't afford to
wait until next season. Now is the &C.
cepted time. Now is the day of our
salvation from possible future droughts.

IS ron THE xxs.

With others The TRIBUNE entered
into this irrigation movement with an
enthusiasm born Of confidence in its
magnificent promlse-impressed with Q
sense Of the great need Of this section.
The drawback to the enterprise has
been the lack of capital. Out Of our
despair q. H. Meeker raised US by m
nouncing that he had secured ample
means to push the South Side ditch up
on our raising $4,000 in its aid. The
one thing neutrality-suspicious. at
at q time when it was agreed practical
ly unanimously that no capitalist would
dream of investing his gold in this &C.
ton, our hopes we're raised to the high
est notch. But we were forgetful Of
our hosts; and the events of the past
few weeks indicate quite clearly that
our before breakfast job now means en-
listment for the war.
Like the measles and numerous 9TH
er annoying but not dangerous ailments
to which mankind is subject, this i'm
portant matter must have it's run. The
captious obstructionist must have his
say. The man with an axe to grind
must secure the desired edge. The
man-afraid- classical must sound the
toscin. The acknowledgements
principles man must be heard. And q
thousand and n other escape valves
must operate before VI Americans can
get down to business.
But after all these preliminaries 1 HE
TRIBUNE expects our good hard bust
ness sense to assert itself and prevail.
MI. Meeker has a valuable water right
and money to construct the ditch, with
the aid asked. He will give proper
guarantees to the proper parties at the
right time. The success Of the ditch
and the value Of the many thousands
which will be invested besides the
amount of bonds asked are alone most
powerful incentives, which will, more
than bonds requiring the pound offesh,
guarantee a ditch of sufficient dimen-
sions and water of sufficient volume.
The means employed to render profit
able the additional $4,000 or $40, 900
required to complete the ditch will
doubtless protect the $4,000 in bonds
required.

SPRING Announcement.

The proprietors of the Circle Front
Livery Stable call attention to the fact
that they enter the spring and summer
season with the best equipment to be
found in Western Nebraska. They have
added sufficient fresh blood to their
string of horses to make that feature
unapproachable in this section. Their
number and variety of rigs is in keep
ing with the rest of the establishment.
They have some of the latest and best.
While their rates are no higher than is
asked for inferior turnouts.

The Culbertson ditch has been pur-

and his surveying outfit are now at
work on the proposed ditch which taps
the Medicine ct or near Cambridge.

Every loyal citizen to McCook's best
interests should encourage the South

possession of this people-irrigation.
