Lincoln Star: The last issue Of the
Crawford Tribune had an excellent
sketch of the career OF Capt. Emmet
Crawford, for whom the town was
named. A great many people have
the mistaken idea that Crawford was

poet scout. Capt. Emmet Crawford
had distinguished military career.
His body was buried at Kearney, Neb.,
in 1886.

arrived home Thursday from Lincoln,
where he attended the Bryan banquet,
he found but one inmate in the county
Jail and that inmate his favorite bird

what surprised to find Rosebud be-
hind the bars but investigation showed
that Rosebud had committed no great
er offense than that of insisting on
following Frank Flynn around while
the latter was acting chief.

son secretary of same and both are
on the board of directors of the COM

formed very high opinion of his
ability while he was with us here in
the postoffice in Lynch.

Wayne Herald: Chandler Owen,
nephew of the Owen Bros, was an
over-Sunday visitor in Wayne. Mr..
Owen is the son of H. E. Owen of Nor
Go Iii In, roH
road wreck year ago. qe was in a
hospital at Omaha for months and sent
home to Norfolk to die, the Omaha
surgeons practically giving up the case
as they had sewed up his body two
or three times and failed to keep him
together. At Norfolk DR.. Tashjean
took him in charge, cleaned him out,
fed him up instead of starving him,
and today no one would ever know
the stalwart appearing young man had
ever had the most necessary part of
his anatomy literally torn wide open.
YanRton Press and Dakotan: The
Gregory county-seat fight has come to
a temporary halt, caused by the county
commissioners declining to order an
election on the petitions of the towns
of Herrick and Burke, both applicants
for the county seat now located at
Fairfax. Lawyer Orvis, of Yankton,
represented Burke before the board,
and raised the point that it would have
to be determined by the court whether
the county seat was permanently or
only temporarily located at Fairfax,
and until this question was settled,
the matter of an election should be
deferred for the reason that If it is
only temporarily located then any
town in the county may become a can
didate without petition, and the ma.
jority of voters could decide the ques-
ton; but if it had been permanently
located then only one town outside of
Fairfax could contest for it after filing
a petition, and it would require two
thirds majority of the votes to remove
it. The court will be asked for an
early decision, and the aspiring county
seat towns will continue the campaign
