John Dill's team ran away in the
streets Monday with a load of potatoes.
They ran over horse belonging to
A. J. Farley of Speed, which was
hitched to a buggy and tied to the
court yard fence. Strange to say very
little damage was done
Whatever may be the status Of the
wolf-scalp case that created a stir in
the county clerks Office, we simply
say that the story did not originate
with populiStS or democrats. County
Commissioner Br asted was the only
man in the Office at the time it &C
Cured and the matter started through
his telling it.
There are however some things in
rega I'd TO the candidacy OF Judge Gel
ger which the Citizen could have
published which possibly might have
been more than passing interest 10
Judge LOofbourrow 5 subscribers. For
instance: Judge Geiger's friends are
not urging his election just in order
te give some StenOgrapher job. No
cattle corporation in Rawlins county
or elsewhere is putting up money in
the interests Of Judge Geiger's caHdi-
dacy. No cattle company or corpora
tiOn in RawiipS county is using its in
Auence with its imported employees
to secure his election. Or the Citizen
could have pointed out he fact that
Judge Geiger is not making assertions
in the east end OF the district that he
viii be elected because Of his personal
and political friendship to certain
cattle corporation and its agents and
attorneys in the west end of the dis
trict who WELD considerable political
power. These things however are at
tracing the attention Of thinking
people, and tie Citizen discreetly con-
cludeS that the less they are discussed
in the public prints, the more favor
able Will be the chances for the cleo
tiUn OF Stenographer Scott and Judge
HamiltOn.-AtwOOd Patriot.
