A Sad and Fatal Accident.

Word reached this city, last night, of
the instant and tragic death of frank
A1brecht, manager of the Stewart ranch
on Dry creek, a few miles south of the
city. The deceased was engaged in fell
ing a tree, which in falling lodged against
the bank of the creek. When a limb
that was holding the tree was cut off the
tree fell back across the unfortunate
mans body. AS the swaying tree lurch-
ed again, his companion succeeded in
pulling his body from under the tree,
Mr.. Albrecht Immediately expiring. The
deceased leaves a wife and seven young
children to mourn his early and sudden
death. He was a member of the A. o.
wv. lodge of this city, in which he car
ried s. 900 insurance. He was a fine citi-
zen, a loving husband and father. His
tragic death is generally and most sim
cerely deplored.

1.-THE McCook building association"
said Bank Examiner Cline after his rec
emit and thorough examination, franks
as one of the two best conditioned asso-
Citations in the state" Under the cir
cumstances of general business depres-
sion, this statement coming from n who
is certainly in a position to know where
of he speaks, is highly gratifying indeed.
And the indications now point to an ear
ly improvement in the business of the
association. Borrowers are becoming
more numerous and the rate of premium
has somewhat increased accordingly.
S 1880 were loaned at the last meeting.
With the early approach of spring the
association confidently expects an active
demand for their surplus money. Be-
sides ~disposing of the routine business,
an auditing committee composed of J.
E. Kelley, r. B. Simmonds and E. F.
Harmon was appointed to audit the
Secretary's books.

Some of the people who have been
laboring for what is known as road 282,
or the Andrew Carson road, for the past
six years, are as mad as a whole coop
full of wet hens over the recent action
of the commissioners, in reconsidering
their action of December IS in opening
that road to the public, and i n n "
ordering the closing of that road, after
considerable trouble, treasure and labor
have already been expended on the road.
One of the prime movers in securing the
road informs the writer that the r o a d
will be kept open at all hazards, init
mating with a business sparkle in his
eyes, that the people of that locality
proposed to have a road to town if wire
fence cutters and shot-guns and earnest
men could do it. The principal bone of
contention seems to be the fact that the
road runs through the Hirsch ranch. It
is to be regretted that this troublesome
question has been re-opened.

Startling Accident in Valley
Grange Precinct.

Last Thursday evening, lust as the sun
was lowering in the west, our quiet little
neighborhood was startled by the report
Of a gun, followed by horrible screams.
DR.. Cruiser knowing his only son Will
had gone hunting a few minutes before,
mounted his pony, never stopping to
bride her. and departed in the direction
from whence came the report; at the
same time, Ed. Benjamin hearing the.
scream, thinking something unusual
must have happened, also started, and
when they reached the spot there he lay
insensible-the coyote, usual size and
beauty-Will's face; we'll, it was some
thing unusual to behold. Now if YOU
want to see a smile as seldom ever smole.
just ask Will if he ever shot a coyote.

The recent report from the Nebraska
experiment station shows that the Rus
sian thistle, one of the rankest and most
dangerous of tumble weeds, has gained
quite a foot hold in Nebraska, being es-
pecially thick in those counties having
a considerable Russian settlement. Bull
etin No. 81 gives a complete description
of this n~oxious weed, with illustrations,
and any interested farmer can secure a
copy by sending to the experimental
station of the Nebraska university at
Lincoln. One-fourth of this state S
more or less infected, Red Willow county
but very slightly. Farmers should be
on guard, however.

clever and charming of the season.

Wednesday of last week, while she'll
ing corn on the Hatfield ranch, Will
Wright, eldest son of James Wright of
Danbury precinct, met with a frightful
accident, which will sadly cripple h m
for life. While oiling the power in mo-
ton he slipped and fell, his left hand
being horribly crushed in the gearing.
DR.. Gum was quickly summoned and
the injured member was amputated at
the wrist. The young man is getting
along nicely. He was endeavoring to
shell Is 900 bushels of corn within six
days, hence did not stop to oil up, to
gain time. His misfortune is greatly
deplored by his many friends.

Superintendent J. NJ. c. Jones, of the
Beatrice Canning factory, has leased fifty
acres of land on the Eccles' farm bot
toms, just below the C~hautatuqua
grounds, and will make the experiment
of irrigating the am for tomato grow
ing purposes. The intention is to steam
pump the water from the river to the
crest of the hill above the tract into a big
ditch, and then run lateral bitches down
through the tract. MI. Jones is thorough
ly acquainted with the question Of irri-
CATION and will make a practical demon
s~tration of its utility in this section. He
expects to raise about twenty tons of to-
