leg Crushed by
Cake Of Ice

George Corbett was seriously
injured on Friday of last week
when a cake of ice, which was
being pulled up 3O-foot chute,
becane loosened and in falling
caught his right leg between it
and a bob sled.
Both bones in the leg were
broken and the point of a pair of
ice tongs. which Mr.. Corbett was
using, was driven through his
foot. The entire leg below the
knee was badly bruised and it
will be several weeks before he
will be able to be out. At first
it was thought that Corbett would
lose his right foot, but unless
complications set in amputation
will not be necessary.
Corbett was just in the act Of
adjusting another cake of ice at
the lotion of the chute when
the tcngs slipped on the cake
that fell and it was impossible
for him to get out Of the way of
the rapidly falling catapuDt.

Perkins County'sDebt
Reduced By $4,000

The PEOPLE of Perkins county
are beginning to realize their
wisdom in following the advice
of the HERALD in 1914, in select
ing the men who were to have
charge of the county's affairs.
The call for warrants that has
just been issued by the treasur-
er's office, shows that the indebt-
edness of the county has, in one
year of the present administra'
ton been reduced in the sum Of
$50, 600.
This reduction means that at
the present rate Perkins county
will be completely out of debt in
three years.
Two years ago, it was proposed
to bond the county for $50, 900 to
pay the warrant Indebtedness
and now the entire amount of
outstanding warrants is cut down
to S27, ,633.76.
The platform upon which the
present officials of Perkins coun-
ty made their campaign, was
that of efficiency and economy
and that their promises have
been fulfilled, is 70 be plainly
seen by the present financial
conditions Of the county. Every
man that was supported by the
HERALD in the campaign of 1914
has diligently and faithfully full
filled his duties as an official, and
has been conservative and eco
nomical to the utmost degree.
Even those who opposed the
present officials and snpered at
their promises that the affairs OF
the county would be conducted
with greater economy, cannot
help but comment upon the great
reduction of the floating indebt-
edness of the county.
Following is a clipping from
the Perkins County sigma, one
of the most bitter opponents OF
the present administration OF the
county Offices:
On page five is published
the quarterly statement OF
the county, which at the
present time shows a pretty
healthy state of affairs. The
last call for payment of Per-
kins county warrants which

Should Lennon
Support A Band?

| Whether or not the city of
Lennon should support a band,
is question that has been dis
cussed by a large number of the
local business men during the
past week.
4 According to a new law that
!! was passed at the last session
= of the legislature, the city can be
taxed for the support of a musi
cal organization Of this kind. OF
course. it is stipulated that the
band must be one that gives pub
lie concerts and entertainments.
For the band to gain the support
of the city, however. it is neces.
sary for a petition to be circulat-
ed, requesting that the matter
be brought to vote.
The HERALD is under the i'm
preston that such a petition will
be circulated within a short time
and we hope that there are none
in the city that would not gladly
affix their signature. The propo-
sitlon would not require special
election, but could not he brought
up at the next regular city cleo
ton, thus eliminating any eX-
pense.
| Whether or not the proposition
is favored by the majority, should
oe determined at the next city
ELECTION and we hope that some
lone will at once start the circu-
lation of the petition.
| Last year the HERALD started
an agitation for a band that re-
Isulted in a few of our citizens
getting together and giving con.
Icerts on the street and as far as
1--we can learn, did not ask fol
lmore than the necessary expens.
IS. 1t can hardly be expected
IChat these men will devote their
Itime to giving concerts and prac-
IIicing unless there is some slight
enumeration. and as everyone
lis aware, every band concert
hight last summer, the streets
IWere lined with people that came
.out to hear the music, which Is
indicative of the fact that the
lei izens want a band.

as strong as that Of any of
the candidates. The votes
which elected the democratic
ticket, were not votes for
the individual candidates, but
votes against the court
house bunch.' Those votes
against the republicans seem
tc have been secured by the
RamsEand Cooper Lem
mon Herald write-ups and
circulars. and the personal
campaign of their tools put
ting out the Old-fashioned
campaign dope of misrepre.
sentations and abuse, which
has heretofore met with lit
tie success in this county.
Many people said: Could
the Herald publish such
statements if they were not
true?" Not stopping to ana
lyze those statements to see
that they amounted to moth
ing but differences of graft
against a bunch. No certain
man was charged with spe-
cifc graft so as to form a
basis for a liLel suit. Had
such a definite charge be-
possible, the Herald would
have made it.
In Dewitt precinct, Mr..
Wickware received one vote
to Mr.. Bunn's one hundred
and three votes, although
their respective claims upon
the office of treasurer and
their ability to properly run
that office are in the diverse
ratio. The same may said
of each other pair of candi-
dates. This is a poor way
for the voters to secure ser.
vice and lower taxes.
