Creighton Nebraska Liberal: The
Norfolk News got up a very creditable
paper Saturday. In the matter of size
it compared favorably with some of
the big ones and there are none living
in this congressional district at least
who would not consider it a warm
number editorially. The News is
for it has the news that is close to
home
Clay Redinbaugh, who lives on
Fourth street, has just returned from
trip to western Nebraska. He re
ports a heavy snowfall all over the
western range-and incidentally re-
lates a tale of a cold night spent at
Hay Springs. He declares that he
crept into bed with all his clothes on
including overcoat, and that the ink
froze during the night in the fountain
pen in his vest pocket and bursted it.

Omaha Bee: Rome Miller will have
to vacate the Her Grand according to
verdict rendered in Judge Redick's
court yesterday afternoon, under in
structions of the court. The case was
the one in which Mr.. Her is seeking
the restitution of the premises on the
ground that the lease has expired.
Only two witnesses were examined.
Mr.. Her testified as to the expiration
of the lease and Constable Hensel as
to the serving of notice to vacate.
Then both sides submitted the matter
to the court on motions to instruct the
jury. Judge Redick decided the lease
having expired, Mr.. Miller had no right
to retain possession of the property.
This suit includes all of the hotel prop
erty, except that occupied by the la
dies cafe. 1t also includes the twelve
flats knows as Nos. 514 to 524 South
Sixteenth street and the barn at Six
teenth and Jackson streets. The por-
tion of the building in which the ladies'
cafe is situated is included in another
suit. Both were appealed from the
county court, where the judgment was
for the plaintiff. 1t is understood Mr..
Miller will go to the supreme court on
error and thus may delay the execution
of the order for year or so.

brought the flag to Norfolk thirty years
ago The big banner is made of bunt-
ing and was strung across the street
of the village back in Connecticut, be-
