Postmaster Wells says that as the
Christmas season is approaching when
people will be sending pesents by
mail tina they would get much better
service ron the office if they would
not all try to get TO the Office to do
their mailing at the same time. From
10:45 on to o is a very busy part
of the day, for the mails from the
Omaha and the Milwaukee roads
both come in at that time and the
force is busy distributing the same,
consequently but one man can be
spared at the window. The post
master suggests that patrons will be
accommodated much better if they
will bring their packages from 8 to
IL O'Clock and from 2 to 4 o'clock,
when the force will be more at lib
erty to attend to the business at the
window.

Judge Smith and Court Stenogra-
pher Boyles went out to Oacoma
Monday evening for the term of
court which opened Tuesday morning.
There is not SO much excitement in a
term OF court out in Lyman county
nov as there was several Years ago.
That was the time when the cattle
rustlers were occupying the attention
OF the entire state. Through the en-
ergy of Judge Smith and his fearless
ness OF the gang he got them all tam
ed and quiet. When the first pro,
ceedings were started against the
rustlers out there some or their
friends would attempt to intimidate
l the court by talking of the shooting
ability the rustlers had for those w.o
attempted to Illustrate their plans.
But Judge Smith did not intimidate
to any great extent and now those
t %rustlers are either banisned from Ly-
Z man county n gone to some other
quarter of the country or they are
serving time in the state penitentiary.
