Faith in Broken Bow is spread
abroad in the estimation of Judge
Armour is sure enough fact as
he has just purchased the half
block of lots, opposite the South
side school on the east, of "Jack"
Cradle, now "a resident of
Nebraska City, for $1,000. The
rapid rate at which. lots are
selling and raising in price will
soon enable the judge to realize
a snug profit on his investment.
The new boiler at the city
pumping station is proving very
satisfactory and at the rate it is
saving coal will soon pay for
itself. With the old boiler from
1000 to $500 pounds of coal was
consumed daily, while only from
1900 to 1900 pounds are used
since installing the new one,
which is saving of half ton
daily, or about 500 per month.
1t cost 5000, and the freight and
setting about 5000.
Jesse Candy, after the city
caucus Monday night, seems to
feel that his failure to receive the
nomination for mayor was be-
cause the voters do not appreciate
his gift of the court house block,
but Jess should know that his
lack of votes was not due to lack
of the voters appreciation of his
past and present interest in the
city. The facts tre he has no
reason to feel sore over the result.
The present mayor had served
but one term and while he had
announced he was not a candi-
date, it was very plain from the
opening of the caucus that the
voters did not intend to let him
off from serving another term
and that was the principal rea-
son that he, with other candi-
dates for mayor, were not serious
ly considered by the voters.
Mayor Georges administration
has been a clean one and gener-
ally acceptable, which fact alone
is responsible for the defeat of
all other candidates. Broken
Bow and Custer county do APP
preciate Jess liberality and they
will show it, should an accept
able opportunity present itself.
There is probably not man in
the county more generally known
than Jess Candy and under some
conditions no one would get a
bigger vote for any Office and his
defeat Monday night does not
signify disapproval of his public
