Got Three Biu Stories Here,

One of the writer's in the coming
months magazines is a man who, dur
ing the recent Trip county land rush,
became more or less well known to
a number of people in this vicinity.
Lindsay Denison, author of "An Irish
King" in this months Everybody's
magazine, spent couple of weeks at
Dallas during the rush He was there
covering the story for Golfers
Weekly and the American magazine.
Mr.. Denison created rather unusual
interest upon his arrival at Dallas
by reason of the fact that some people
mixed him with Tom Dennison, the
noted policy king of Omaha. Under
stand Dennison is here" people said,
''and so it must be that the gamblers
intend to pull off some big stunts"
But Lindsay Denison wasn't a gam
bling king-at all events he did moth
ing in Dallas to indicate that his sue
cess in that line would equal that OF
the Omaha Dennison in a game of
stud poker.
DenisOn brought with MIN a letter
from President Roosevelt to United
States Marshal Seth Bullock of South
Dakota. For, incidentally, Denison
stands ace high with President Roose-
welt, having travelled with him during
his presidential campaign. Denison
is one of the cleverest magazine writ
tiers in America today and during the
past few months has been mentioned
perhaps as frequently, in one way and
another, as any other writer.
An article written by him some
time ago for the Broadway magazine.
New York, on the Japanese question,
was widely quoted and commented
upon. Because of his intimate rela-
ton with the White House, his story
was thought to be semi-official. Deni-
son said that as matter of fact
Japan had purposely started the war
talk for the sake of allowing her to
quickly build big navy, without max
ing it look badly.
A writer for Pearson's magazine,
who went to Dallas during the rush,
told Judge Witten that Denison was
one of the brightest men in the coun-
try.
VIII Irwin, a well known writer, in
a recent article on THE New York
Sun" tells of some of the old star re-
porters who have made the Sun fam
Gus, and mentioned the work of Deni-
son which, now and then, shone out
of the pages of the Sun like flashes
from lola"
Denison said he got three big stor-
les in his trip to Dallas He felt re-
paid for any losses the trip might
have cost him,
A cut of Denison, printed in Every
body's last month, is loaned to The
News by that magazine.

FARMERS BURNING HAY.
Finding it More Economical and Just
as Good as Coal

It's back to the hay for many far
mers in northwestern Nebraska this
winter. Hard coal is hard to pay for
at current prices and hay is cheap. A
number of homesteaders located south
of Long Pine are reported to have
recently installed improved patents
on the old time hay burner and are al
ready enthusiastic over the results OF
their experiment. In economy
warmth giving properties and cleanli
ness, the hay is said to be superior to
