Court Adjourned till Next Monday.

Monday morning after Judge
Hostetler had arrived here to
convene the equity term of dis
trict court it was found that the
opera house in which the court
was advertised to be held was
not in the original town of Bro
ken Bow and consequently not in
the legal county seat. Super
visors Headley and Dewey, who
happened to be in town, secured
the old Armory and court was
called in that building Monday
afternoon. Upon consideration
the Judge concluded that court
could not be legally held there
until that fact had been adver-
tised. and adjourned until next
Monday that proper notice might
be given.
The fact that this was an
equity term in which title to
property might be tried, foreign
ers naturalized and divorce cases
heard, made it necessary tha'
the location of the court should
be legally advertised.

Galloway Marshall Makes Arrest.

Acting under Sheriff Kennedy's
direction, Marshall Penny of
Galloway arrested a stranger
there Friday. In the forenoon
the marshall telephoned Sheriff
Kennedy that a new arrival in
Galloway was acting in manner
that put him under suspicion.
He said the stranger had disposed
of a superior make of shotgun
worth at least $40 for $8 and later
in the day sold a fine horse and
saddle for $35. He though the
horse alone worth $l00. The
sheriff told the marshall to arrest
and hold him there, as Broken
Bow is still without a county
Jail.
The sheriff had hardly began
investigating when another
phone from Sheriff Miitonbergei
of North Platte warned him t.
be on the look out for Henry
Gibson, whom it is charged
disappeared from there with
horse and saddle, shotgun ant
other things. The description
of Gibson and the stolen propert,
tailed exactly with Marshal
Penny's capture and the Nortl
Platte official was informed by
Sheriff Kennedy that he though
his man was in safe hands
Sheriff Miltouberger will go t.
Galloway.

The Question OF Sewerage.

There has been more or less
agitation of the matter of public
sewerage for several years in
in Broken Bow, but thus far
nothing tangible has resulted.
Conditions have become such
that more than agitation is need
ed. The sanitary conditions of
the city is of greater Importance
than the expense of putting in a
system of sewerage that would
accomodate the city for gener-
alton.
Bonds could be voted in suf-
ficient amount to provide a
sewerage system for the public
buildings and the entire private
district. The new court house
to be built this season should be
provided with sewerage, as we'll
as hotels and all other public
buildings.
While the city council will
have to pass on the plans and
amount to be spent, the CONNER
ciaf club could aid materially in
formulating those plans and
ascertaining the probable cost,
so that the question could be in
diligently submitted to the peo-
pie for their approval. At the
present writing we have made
no attempt to ascertain the
probable cost of system that
would be adequate for present
needs. Let that be great or
small, there is no doubt but that
the valuation of the city is great
enough to admit of a levy for a
bond that would provide the
necessary means without burden
ing any of US. Sewerage is a
matter that must come sooner OF
later and it is better to have it at
once and avoid possible epidem-
lies of typhoid fever for the lack
of it.

has sacrificed and borne the

JOURNAL view OF the controver-
sy between Brookwood and dupont
and the decision of the judges rela-
tive TO the game of last Saturday a
week, the writer would like to sug-
gest the consideration of the follow
ing rules. IN view of the fact that
your correspondent does not claim
to be an expert in knowledge of the
game he hopes that these rules will
not be adopted without due considera-

Rule 1. No umpire will be permit

umpire may be able to follow it while
In play. Provided, however, that no
bell shall at any time be larger than
the ball.
Rule 3. Each baseman and one ex-
ira player OF the infield shall be pro-
vided with a rope which must never
be used excepting when the umpire is
arguing or showing his diploma, in
which case the baseman must tie the
runner fast TO the exact spot whereon
| the runner was put out, until such
time as the umpire can give atten-
ton to the play.
Rule T. Al no time during the game

Rule 7. The two most essential
features in baseball are the ball and
an umpire. Should the umpire at
any time be busy urguing, the game
can be continued with the ball, but
never can the game be continued with
the umpire alone, without a ball.
Rule s. It will be the duty of every
player to protect the umpire from
danger, and any runner OF bases par
ticularly at home plate, who should
find the umpire engaged in conversa-
ton in line OF bases must either run
out of line or politely ask the UNI
pire to move to one side while he
finishes his running. In case any play

run into the umpire and iniure the
latter, the former shall be liable TO
arrest for assault and battery.
