A fortnight passed. And one day,
weary with my studies, fell asleep

shoulder. and. looking up, l saw an
Indian in war paint and feathers.

&C. A. READY
A telegram was sent by the Times
Republican to the sender OF the above

ply had been received. This may be
doubtless due to the fact that Hayes

ern counties of Nebraska, is an inland
town, ten or a dozen miles from Pals
ade, the nearest telegraph office.
Owned Land Here Until Recently.
Until very few months ago Weeks

Mountain, which Ia now occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wertenherger and
family Little Of Weeks history while
he was d resident here has been obtain
able. for altho he seems to have been
known and remembered by. many, few
are able to recall details of his life.

residence in the county prior to 4,

west about fifteen years ago. During
the years since then he has visited in
the county several times.
He was about. CO. years Of age. and
u had never been married. The county
