Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1906-08-09
SOMETHING DOING IN THIS VICINITY
An Eptome of Personal Affairs and Local
Events During the Past Week.


Maulick, left for home yesterday.
Frank Parker of Dunning, was
transacting business at the U. S.
land office in the city yesterday.
Russell Smith left yesterday
for Crawford, Neb., for an outing
of several weeks with his brother,
Harry.
Geo. Papineau and wife, who
have been visiting at Philander,
Wisconsin, and other points for
the past month or more, returned
home the first of the week. They
report having enjoyed splendid
visit.
O. J Life saw DR.. Talbot's
advertisement for lost dog in
the REPUBLICAN and informed
the doctor of the whereabouts of
the said canine. He received
possession thereof and is again
feeling joyful.
The work at the Teachers
institute seems to be proving
quite interesting, as we'll as
valuable, to all in attendance.
Sup't Pickney is we'll pleased
with both the interest manifested
and the attendance.
Several sheet iron barrels,
nicely painted and placed in the
park as receptacles for waste
paper. Wouldn't that be the
proper thing?. If the city is too
poor-or negligent-let's organize
a civic league, or pass the hat.
Company M, with IS men. left
last Friday morning for Fort
Riley, Kansas, where regular
army maneuvres are in progress
this week, our boys taking note
of how it's done so they will be
capable as we'll as brave when
they go to war. They are ex-
pected home next Tuesday.
]. c. Barton, who has a claim
twelve miles west of Anselmo,
is IN the city and informed tho
REPUBLICAN that prairie chicken
hunters are already abroad in the
land in goodly numbers and that
those who are law-abiding and
wait for the open season will find
poor picking in that part of
Custer county. He saw party
of five, not residentsof the county,
out hunting and from the number
of shots fired they must have
killed fifty chickens, in as many
minutes.
A. ]. VanAntwerp, secretary
of the fair association after
surveying" the situation says
that indications now point to the
most successful fair in September
ever held by the association.
Interest in it seems to be growing
day by day, as he is receiving
hundred, of inquiries and applica.
tions for premium lists and entry
blanks. From the number of
letters received from Custer
county farmers he deducts the
opinion that there will be an I'M
usually large display of stock
and farm products, and an atten-
dance far in excess of any pre-
vious year, provided the weather

Undertaken Cole had quite a
thrilling experience getting over
to the North side at about 2
o'clock Monday morning after
the storm. Water, between 2
and 3 feet deep, was running
over the sidewalk near the depot
and rubber boots were too short
at the upper end to prevent
getting wet, so he employed a
liveryman and team and made
the trip. The water was so deep
the horses had to swim and both
he and the liveryman stood on
the seat, expecting every moment
to be tipped over in terribly
swift current. He says if he
: wasn't bald headed he would
have lost his hat for he could feel
what little fuzz there is on his
head sticking straight up.
Last week a pocketbook found
item was published in the RE
PUBLICAN and there were three
, calls by persons who had lost
purses within two weeks and
, none of them had advertised their
, loss, although one purse con-
,, tanned over $1,000. Some people
+. don't seem to understand that
