Rides Against Time to File on Land

Valentine, Neb., Feb Especial to
The News; Something like the old,
time rush for land took place here
yesterday when Frank Sedalecek
rode ninety-five miles against time to
file on a piece of land.
II seems that he had taken a sur,
veyor out TO survey this piece he
wanted some where near the Spade
ranch, and the survey showed that it
included some very valuable hay land
that has been used by the Spade and
some employees of the ranch, finding
out what was going on, started for
town at once, but Frank got wise to
the move and himself made tracks for
Valentine, beating the other fellows in
and getting his filing in the first thing
Thursday morning.

Gregory Has a Narrow Escape.

Gregory, S. d., Feb. Especial to
The News: Gregory had a very mar
row escape yesterday afternoon from
disastrous fire when the two-story
building occupied by the Kull & Old
ham locating firm and the Dite tailor
ing establishment was discovered to
be burning. An alarm was turned in,
and the department responded prompt
ly, but after connections We're made no
water was forthcoming, and investiga-
ton disclosed the fact that the hose
joints were frozen After several min
utes delay a stream of water was
finally put to play on the burning
building and in a short time the block
was out of danger
The fire started in the cleaning de-
partment of the tailor shop, the origin
being Of rather strange nature. Mr..
Dite was working in the cleaning room
and stepped into another room to get
warm, He started to poke the Goals
when his shirt sleeves became ignited
Mr. Dite rushed into the back room
where he had been working. Gas
fumes filled the air and his entrance
resulted in an explosion which ignited
the whole room, and but for the timely
assistance of a passerby Mr.. Dite
would have no doubt suffered serious
injury.

CHAIRMAN OF Genoral OOmm1IUee
State Secretary Whites report
shows the order in this state to be in
a most gratifying condition. He re-
ports f3 new councils as instituted
during the last term and an increase
in the membership throughout the
state, the present membership being
about 1000 in the 38 councils of this
Jurisdiction. State Council Treas
urer Farr reports the finances of the
State Council in prime condition
with a balance of $891.31 on hand
Aug. Is. This is an increase of
about $3.50 over the last report. The
reports show that the State Coun-
Gil property and cash on hand Aug.
Is amounts to $1,277.14 and that
on June 80, the subordinate councils
of the state had in their treasures,
2,337.70 in cash; that they had in
vested in paraphernalia, $2,716.53,
and that they had in real estate ST.,
571.76, making a total worth of the
subordinate council of Sc, 525.99
which is an increase for the term of
$2,310.31 or so per cent. During
the term the councils have paid in
benefits and relief SIG, 426.69 as
against $4,821.13 for the term prior
making an increase for this term of
nearly 800 per cent. The total re-
ceipts of the subordinate councils for
the term has been $36,732.72 as
agfnst $13, 900.57 for the term
prior. Thus it will be seen that the
order has made satisfactory progress
in all the various departments dur
ing the last term.
