go after the business and get it.

The U. P's Bluff.

Some time ago the U. P. sent man
and his wife here who camped just east
of town and made a bluff at grading,
etc. for the removal of the stock yards.
They were here perhaps three weeks,
when they left. The stockyards are
still doing business at the old stand
and are liable to remain. The city viii
probably have to take the matter IN
hand and enjoin the company from US
ing the yards before thing more will
be done. They have also dumped sew
eral cars OF broken stone along north
Main street. IN piles, instead Of filing
up the mud-holes as should have been
done. Its up TO the city, We suppose,
to see that the stone is propely placed,
and covered with earth so that auto
mobiles and other vehicles can psss
over them without cutting auto tires
or the feet of horses who have occa-
sion to go along that way.

 For only an instant Ned Warner stood nonplused before the door of the room; then he seized chair and stridng to the door, he swung the chair while the others of the little throng. which had piled in after him, fell back.
 Beyond the door the dark handsome with the black Vandyke had led the beautiful little run away bride to heavy man with thick lidded eyes and round head bristling with short hair. He sat in a chair, and in his hands money He
