Born Tuesday evening July 11th, to Mr. and Mrs. Chris Jessen eastof town, a fine chubby babe, the same as all other infants with this ad ditional start it haB two well de veloped teeth. While cutting hay, one day last week, the team of mules belonging to Andrew Denesen became fright ened and ran away, breaking the mower to pieces. Luckily, no other damage was done.

The birth, still-born, of the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Cochran which occurred last Friday is in deed unfortunate. The young par ents looked forward with pleasure to this accouchement, their only child having died sometime ago But this anticipated pleasure is again denied them. The Benton Bros, of North Branch drove in twenty head of two year old Hereford steers last Saturday that waa certainly prime beef and fit for any market under the sun. The Benton boys are all good far mers and when it comes to fitting cattle for market they can always be found with the goods. It certainly pertains, to a clouded condition of an editor's brains, when he takes such pleasures and pains, in telling the public (most of whom don't care a lick) about the little troubles that occur in the neighboring town. Tbey said "Smith was arrested down there and fined five dollars" while several Jones had been arrested up there and nothing said about it. Is that fair? Then John Doe made a die tarbance on the streets, was fined $5.00 and trimmings down at while two young men stole a team there, sold it in Omaha, were caught, broke jail and are free, and atill no mention waa made of the crime, Are we giving our sister town impartial news in such repor ting?
