THE SENATE
Washington, JaA. SO,-ln the senate
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-07-28

While in Lincoln, first of the week,
Commissioner Ryan had occasion to
speak with State Treasurer Barley. The
conversation naturally turned to the all
absorbing question of finance and banks.
The Treasurer is a practical banker and a
member ofthe state banking board. "It
was most gratifying to me" says the Com
missioner, "to have him state in unmis.
taxable terms and of his own motion that
the banks of McCook were in the best
condition of any banks in the state OF
Nebraska, and to be congratulated upon
that fact"
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-07-28
Some One Was Hoggish.

Two n three consignments o fhogs be-
came badly mixed up in the McCook
stock yard, Monday night, in a mysteri-
Gus manner. Monday evening several
cars Of hogs came down the Frenchman
valley branch, shipped by Pence of Wau-
meta and McClelland of Imperial. c. T..
Brewer also had some hogs in the yard.
During the night those hogs became
so friendly that it became a difficult mat
ter on the following morning to get head
or tail of things, and the matter has not
yet been satisfactorily settled so far as Nc
Clelland is concerned; he being of the
opinion that Pence got the pick Of the
three consignments. Brewer is not a
heavy loser by the peculiar transaction;
but McClelland evidently holds the bag.
A number of people seem to be implicat-
ed IN the shady affair; and it would not
be surprising if something should drop
in the near future with an unpleasant
sound. Supt. Campbell has ordered
locks for the gates to the several sub-di-
visions of the yard, and it is not expected
that such a thing will soon occur again.
