More Time For Homesteaders.


Wednesday, Jan. IL, the house
passed the Martin bill extending
the time for certain homesteaders
to establish residence upon their
lands. Through the efforts of
Representative Kinkaia the bill
was so amended as to include
Nebraska. The bill provides
that all persons who have made
homestead entry in Nebraska.
South and North Dakota, Idaho,
Wyoming, Minnesota, Montana,
Colorado, where the period in
which they were or are required
by law to make entry under such
declaratory statement or establish
residence expired or expires after
December l, 1909, are granted
until May IS, 1910, within which
t. make such entry or actual
settlement and establish resi-
dence upon the lands so entered
by them. There is a provision
that this extension Of time shall
not shorten either the period Of
Communication or of actual resi-
dence under the homestead law.
Homestead settlers upon the
public domain in the states
named are granted leave OF
absence from their land for the
period of three months from the
date of approval of the act, pro.
vided the period of actual alb
sence under this act shall not be
deducted from the full time OF
residence required by law.

7. L. V. Ranch Sale.

The T. L. V. ranch property
located in township l9, ranges
IS, 26 and II, comprising 5000
acres, was sold Tuesday after
noon in front of the court house
by Master in Chancery S. A.
Holcomb by order of the district
court to the highest bidder above
two-thirds of the appraised
value.
The land was first offered in
individual tracts, all of which
was bid in by Walter V. Hoag-
land, of North Platte. The
price bid was in round numbers
two-thirds value of each separate
quarter. He bid for the fence
belonging to the company and
not on the lands sold, for $40.
The ranch as whole was then
offered, including all the i'm
provements, and fence not on
said land, for which Hoagland
bid $4,000, or two-thirds of the
the appraised value. VIM. War
rem raised this bid to $4,000, and
it looked for while as though
Mr.. Warren's bid would buy the
property, but Mr.. Hoagland
raised the bid 500 and Mr.. War.
rem came back with another
thousand. Mr.. Hoagland again
bid 800 more and was in turned
raised $1,000 by Mr.. Warren.
Mr.. Warren's last bid was $4,000.
Mr.. Hoagland bid $1,000 ano
got the property. A large
acreage of hay land is included
in the ranch, which makes it a
very valuable property.
For several years Tierney Bros.
have had the ranch leased and in
that time have acquired title tc
a fine body of land in that vici
nifty by the purchase of isolated
tracts and individual holdings o.
decided land.
AS they were present and die
not bid on the land it is generally
believed that they will become
owners of the land by purchase
of the successful bidder, Mr.
Hoagland. This ranch embodied
with the holdings of the Tierney
will make one of the finest rancl
properties in the west.

Story of the Fire.

Last Friday night about IL
o'clock or a few minutes after
Huckleberry and Lloyd were 60
ing home from the gas plant
where they had been working,
when they discovered the court
house on fire. They hastened to
the bell tower and rang the fire
bell and in a short time large
crowd had gathered. The fire.
men run out a line of hose and
connected with hydrant when
it was discovered that there was
no pressure on the mains. Only
a feeble stream of water could be
obtained and nothing could be
done towards extinguishing the
fire. What little water could be
obtained was used in protecting
the Temple Theatre and adjoin.
ing buildings across the street
north. About half past one the
pressure came on and stream of
water was played on the ruins at
intervals until morning. The
fire boys did nobly and were ably
assisted by the citizens in gen.
eral. Had there been enough
pressure and plenty of water it is
believed by many that the fire
could have been stopped in the
south wing. However there is
no use to mourn over spilled milk,
bat it might be good plan to be
little careful and spill no more.

secured quarters outside. County
Judge Holcomb will be found at
his old Office. Superintendent

viii Rebuild at Once.

II appears to be the unanimous
opinion of the board that the
building should be rebuilt at
once, and they will probably call
a special election for the purpose
of voting on the proposition to
make a direct levy for that pur-
pose. The levy will not neces-
sarily have to be large one as
the insurance money will be
available. The cost of the new
court house will of course be
greater than the old one, as ma
terial and labor are nearly twice
as high as it was at the time the
old court house was built.

How II Started, You Tell

The origin of the fire is a
mystery which will probably
never be solved. Parties who
first seen it are at variance as to
where it started, some declaring
tfiat it was on the second floor in
the hall between the Offices of
the county judge and the clerk
of the court, while others are
equally as positive that it started
in the treasurer's Office. The
cause of the fire is also very much
in doubt. Some have advanced
the theory that it was caused by
pet squirrel that nests in the
building carrying matches to its
nest, while others lean to the
theory of spontaneous combus-
ton, and others more outspoken
declare it the work of an incen.
diary. A thousand and one
theories have been advanced, but
there is nothing of fact but the
fire which was bad one. Lucki-
ly for the city there was scarcely
any wind and by close work the
fire was confined to the court
house.
