wife had secured n separation. For
sometime past he has been trying
to find the daughter and finally he
traced her to this part of the countr

married a son of William Boyce, of
this place, and had previously re-
sided hehe. fl the father is right

the wife of John Boyce, and they

city hall Ground was broken for
that structure last Monday morning
and the work of excavation is being
rapidly pushed. When completed tn
new building will have an imposing

Runaways Smash a Buggy.

A work team belonging to Charley
Martin ran away Monday afternoon
and crashed into buggy belonging
to Water Commissioner McBurnie
reducing the vehicle to kindling woo
in less time than it takes to tell.
Fortunately Mac was elsewhere
when the accident occurred or he
might have been included in the
general smashup. The Martin team
which is employed by the Electric
Light Company took fright at some
thing near the depot while the driv
er was attending to something else
and shot across town at express
train" speed. When the heavy wag
on struck the light buggy and crump
led it up like card board, theteam
OF runaways never faltered, but kept
on until they reached Mr.. Martin S
stables where they stopped of their
own accord. This is the same team
by the way, that nearly caused the
death of Earl Cooper severalweeks
ago, by running into him while he
was seated on a moving machine in
the middle of the street Commissi
er McBurnie says although there are
no wheels to his buggy to speak of
and the body is badly fractured both
externally and internally, still he
thinks the seat might be utilized for
something if only some repairs were
put on it.

Sullivan and attorney Millard ap-
peared for the defense. Dr. Davis,
of Galloway was put on the stand

of Mrs. Moses. testified that he had
gone to the drug store and asked
for cream of tartar for his sister,
that ChirsterphersCn was a lone in
the store at the time, gave him what
subsequently proved to be tartar
emctic, and that his sister received
the poison under the impression it
was cream oftartar. Sterner said
he had never heard of tartar emetic
before his sister was taken ill.,

want our readers to give special at

rich. AS candidate for governor
the "Dahlmanite" party have accus-
ed him of being an unfit man and
laid up to his door about all the
mean things that man is capable
. doing in his life time. These in
;crNicWs with doctors, lawyers, bank
ers, ministers and leading citizens
OF Mr.. Aldrich's home town complet
ly refute all these charges and show
conclusively that Mr.. Aldrich is q
typical representative of Nebraska s
highest and best citizenship.
