Main street at 80 Saturday p. m. A
team owned by W. Nestor of Lincoln

came frightened on the east end Of
Main street and successfully nego-
tiated their way at a dead run the en-
tire length Of the street At the cor
ner of Third street they narrowly
missed going through the windows
of Henvey 4 Keys and then used the
sidewalk until they struck a tsle-
phone pole near the Intersection OF
First street. partially wrecking the
wagon, 1t was miraculous that they did
not seriously injure some one In their
mad dash on the sidewalk.

sECORD CROP STRAWBERRIES

While It is not uncommon to pick
q light. second crop of fruit from the
strawberry beds of western Colorado.
the Inquiries coming to this once sug-
gest that the proper handling OF the
bed to secure this second crop Is not
universally understood. II Is rather
q novel experience TO pick fresh
Strawberries from ones own patch In
September and October, yet there is
nothing mysterious about 1t, and any
one who has his soil conditions well
under control may pick two crops
from his bed each year.
The principa! Involved is an old
one: simply artncially provide for a
resting period after the first crop 10
on. This may be done by withhold
Ing water until the bed is we'll dried
up. As soon rs the first pickinss be-
gin to get light. shut on the water
and leave the bed until the tops are
we'll Drowned. Then NOW and rake
the bed. irrigate 1t thoroughly. and
give It frequent cultivation and irri-
gation until the second crop begins to
ripen. ...
We would naturally expect that
such q system of caring for the bed
would shorten its life, and no doubt
Il does. but a late crop OF berries Is
often quite profitable. and the aver
age bed Is grown too long anyway. It
10 often advisable to cut the drst crop
. little short by withholding the water
and thus Increase the second crop.
In this way we get two light crops,
and although they may not exceed one
good crop from = well grown bed, they
come on the market when, the prices
are good. In western Colorado sec
ond-crop berries often sell ON the re-
tail markets at twenty cents per box.

notice to the adverse parties or their.
attorneys, except that II 1t shall
clearly appear to the satisfaction OF
the court or Judge by distinct aver
ments of the bill, supported by affl-
davit, that irreparable injury will
probably occur in case notice be CIV
en-, or in case of delay until notice
can be given, and that the applica-
ton for an Injunction has not been
unduly delayed, a court or judge hav-
ing jurisdiction may grant restrain
ing order, which order shall reciteI
the facts because of which the notice
is dispensed with, shall fix time,
not exceeding Ave days thereafter,
and a place, at which the application
for preliminary injunction shall be
heard, and shall be in force only un-
til the time so fixed, and thereafter
not exceeding two days, until the APP
plication for a preliminary injunction
shall be decided.
Sec. 2. That the notice mentioned
in section one hereof. IL 1t shall not
be dispensed with by such restrain
ing order. may be given by service
of copies on the adverse parties found
within the jurisdiction of the court,
or upon such and SO many of them

adverse parties, or in case no such
parties can be so found, by publica-

No reasonable man can see how
the city council showed the slightest
degree of animus toward the street
Superintendent, when It refused to
act at present on the report of the
street committee authorizing the
street superintendent to purchase
several car loads of materials al
once. The ground was taken that
the material In car load lots should
not be bought until after the COM
mittees made up the estimates as to
what work should be done this year
as has been the custom. II such ac-
ton was in animus to the street
Superintendent the council is to be
congratulated for 1t by every citizen
who believes in doing business in a
buslness-llke manner instead OF driy-

All will agree that generous de-
gree of liberality should be given the
street superintendent of the city but
not to the extent of permitting him
to purchase many car loads Of ma
terlals before 1t is determined by
council what work shall be done.
This rule has been strictly observed
several years and there is no good
reason to break 1t now.
