borders, she gets one slipped over
on her occasionally and the most
recent report comes from the little
town OF Hammet, just west of King
Hill, and the story is told by the
Tilden, Neb. Citizen a. follows:
Deputy United States Marshall
Sides was in town from Ponca Tues
day, to summon G. A. Smith, T.
r. Mcdonald and Glendoris Snyder
to appear in federal court at Boise
City, Idaho, OH July 9th. The
three persons named are required
to give evidence in the case of the
United States against the Medbury
Investment Company. More than
year ago this company had agents
all through the middle west solicit
ing subscribers to scheme which
was promised to he great money
maker. Each subscriber entered
into contract with the company tC
to pay $40 monthly until $50 hac

Among the aspirants on the re-
publican primary ticket for the CON
gressional nomination will he found
that of Benz. P. Shawhan, the pre-
sent manager of the Carey Act de-
partment of the state. We do not
believe that Mr.. Shawhan needs
any introduction to Carey act set
tiers in this section, a. many have
had personal business dealings with
him. As a representative of Carey
act interests we should like very
much to see Mr.. Shawhan receive
the nomination.
He is closely identified with the
interests of the state, and especially
in the Carey act sections, and Is
thoroughly familiar with the wants
of these settlers. He has been Il
resident of the state for the past 20
years, having served the state as
senator in the last three sessions of
the legislature. The knowledge
gained 10y him as manager of the
Carey Act department would be of
valuable assistance to him should he
he elected to congress, and those of
our republican friends among Carey
Act settlers who do not feel pledged
to the division ticket are urged to
support Mr.. Shawhan at the pri-
marieS.

Observe that the two towns, Jerome

Mr.. Bissell confines himself solely to

the bonded debt of old Alturas county
TO which we fell heir to portion some

lower on account of say 5000, 600 for a
