Mark IT. Warner
Visits Here

Mark n. Warner, one of the former
editors of this paper, and one of the
pioneers Of the county, has been in the
city few days. MIR. Warner settled
in this county in 1872.
His brother Joseph c. Warner was
the first real hotel man of the city,
the builder OF Tho Valley house.
In 1873 Mark, who was then com.
paratively young man, bought the
Chief from c. l.. Mather, the first own
er and editor. Mr.. Warner was wholly
without newspaper experience ut the
time. lie had never set stick oftype,
nor written anything more pretentious
than a letter. However, the times did
not require signal display of editorial
ability, and there WAS competent
type-sctter in the Office, known as
"Curley" 1t did not take Mr.. Warner
long to familiarize himself with the
business, and the Chief of those days
was not unworthy of its general his
tory.
The purchase price Of the paper, at
that time was. we are informed, $500.
In 1877 Mr.. Warner sold out to Mr.
Thomas, and having married In the
meanwhile, went upon his farm south
of the river, and soon became one Of
the leading farmers of this vicinity.
His homestead was the land now own.
ed by Mr.. Barlow. In addition he
owned two or three ad Joining quarters.
In 1903 Mr.. Warner removed to the
Big Horn country where he has made
his home ever since. lie has served
the government as a forest ranger in
that part of Wyoming, and his own
particular locality as a county com.
missioner.
He is extensively interested In horses
and cattle, and 1t was q shipment Of
cattle to Omaha that was the occasion
OF his present visit to his old camping
grounds in Nebraska, where he was
gladly greeted by the old timers, who
knew him only to respect and love
him.

 His recovery will be little less than a miracle, the doctors say. Since the attack 3O,O00 units of anti-tetanus serum has been in- jjecled in the little fellows finger tips and at the base of his brain. This was the largest amount of serum ever used in such a case.

Paris, Jan. 2.--France is growing somehat excited over the discovery that large tracts of territory in Muerthe and Moselle along the borders of Lorraine, be- long to German proprietors. They have passed into that possession through the acquisition of mines, one-ninth of the entire industry in that region being under, Ger man control. In Normandy the situation is more amazing still, to French eyes, one-half off the mines there belonging to Ser mans. :
 Louis Bruneau, writing in the Grande Revue, says that : this peaceful invasion, which has been going on for many years, has reached incredible proportions. Strategic positions of great mili- tary importance, Bruneau de- clares, have in this way become occupied by Germans. s
