The Red Cloud chief., 1894-02-23

"A NV METHop.-The adherents OF
the prohibition cause have adopted many
new and peculiar tactics in their efforts
to promote their cause in the different
states, but the most noticeable Of them
all came on a letter to s. +. Cosad.
mailed by his father in.law TO him, OF
recent date, and is az follows: Judas
I~scariot sold his Lord for 30 pieces Of
Silver, and today the Christians Of this
land who vote to license rum.selling for
revenue are following his example, The
gentleman is a Methodist clergyman,
and we presume the balance Of the
| clergy in New York state are operating
in a similar manner II Is stamped in
the left hand corner Of the envelope,
and the type is large enough 80 that it
| will be promptly noticed.

PLENTY OF Ir.-Bro. Greenlee. OF the
Blue Hill Leader, in commenting on our
creamery item Of recent date says: "He
%(meaning the editor Of this paper) must
know that IL is impossible to run a
creamery successfully without cream,
and that there is not enough cream to
be had in the territory tributary TO Red
Cloud to keep the creamery going" The
CHIEF man has been in Red Cloud near.
ly eleven years. and the above statement
Of u editorial brother sounds like
m%oonshine, from the fact that a former
creamery run by Shrader and McShaue
Of Omaha, and operated by j. II. Smith
during the early portion Of our residence
here, flourished like a Green bay tree
and had the cream Of a thousand COWS.
Now. these cows were not on q thousand
hills, but within q few miles Of the city,
say a radius OF fifteen miles, and VIC
have been reliably informed that l,
would be an easy matter to ecure a,
least 800 cows. or course, II would take
an effort perhaps to get them, but nc
mans business succeeds without an Of.
fort is made on his part tn build it up
Messrs. Parker a. Fulton have designat
cd their intention Of running the busi
ness this season, and this paper hopes
that every farmer neal this city will set
to it that they have plenty Of cream, st
that they will DO enabled to run II viii
profit to themselves and patrons.
II For Ten DAYs.--On last Tuesday
!, Diederich g. Cooks boot and shoe store
was the scene Of considerable excite
ment. On said day a gentleman came
!, walking into the store, and wanted t.
get a pair Of socks to try on a pair o.
shoes, but found he couldn't got them
80, finally, he said he would go out ant
, get a pair. In the meanwhile. he hat
been leaning against the counter on thu
south side and swiped n pair Of shoes
l don't mean he BACKED or cleane,
them. but just neatly swiped them-bu
i. Henry Diederich, noticing how his Goa
. bulged out, started and followed hin
catching him in front Of Fentress & re
!, luff's barber shop and bringing him bac
TO the store, where a little scufile or
sued, the fellow evidently not liking tn
scene OF his crime. He then droppe
the shoes and ran of, cutting acrot
6 the bottom in the direction Of Gov. Ca
ber's. Henry Immediately put on hi
! hat and started in hot pursuit. He oveI
= took him in the swamp, but the fello'
concluded not to 60 peacefully back an
here another struggle took place, bu
9 when Charley Winfrey, who had 81
peared on the cen by this time. CAV
. him the privilege Of having his brain
d beaten out or going quietly, he decide
that discretion was the better part {
Q valor and subsidized. The next day whe
arraigned before the Judge, upon NAL
ing a most piteous appeal to b
honor, he was only given ten days wit
bread and water as q diet. Surely, th
way OF the transgressor is hard.
