Supreme Court Decissions. County Attorney Burket has been made glad by two decisions in the supreme court this week. They have sustained Judge Graves in the judgement rendered against Wm Loring and in favor of C. K. Smith for $400. They also reversed the lower court In the case of the State vs Martin. It will be remembered that Marlin was charged with arson at Belden. The judge directed a verdict of not guilty, supporting the contention of the defense that it was not arson to burn a building of which the firebug is himself a tenant. The supreme court with rare good sense decided that arson was the act of burninq a building, and that the fact that a man was an occumpant did not make it a commendable stunt. So while Martin escaped without a trial it will not happen again - "not so more never." - NEWS HARTINGTON.

SIOUX CITY NEWS: Lying on his cot in St. Joseph's hospital, Peter Peterson, of Hartington, Neb, who was operated on Tuesday, tries to be brave in the face of an awful sorrow.
Greedy, life taking flames at 4 o'clock this morning destroyed Peterson's home three miles north west of Hartington and burned to death two of his little children and the 13-year-old son of his brother, Seibert Peterson.
Mrs. Peterson was in Hartington, on her way to Sioux City, and had left her six small children and their cousin in the house alone.
When the four surviving childpen were awakened by the fire, the house was a mass of flames and it was all they could do to make their way through the heat.
Hurrying to the home of a neighbor, the thinly clad children, chiled by the biting wind and fatigued by their run, were but able to gasp out their horrible tale.
The neighborhood for miles around was informed by phone, and within a short time men and women were rushing to the scene. But when they arrived. the home was but a smoldering mass of ashes and side by side, were found the three little bodies burned to a crisp.
The mother, already suffering under the strain of having her husband in a hospital and the thought of her little children at home alone, became violently hysterical when she was informed of the tragedy. Her pitiful cries resounded throughout the still morning as she was rushed to the scene in an automobile.
The dead children were mere tots boys aged 3 and 5 years.
Nothing is known. of the origin of the fire. All had retired early. SIOUX CITY NEWS.

November 10, page "2" col 6Last Thursday afternoon the home of Luther Bowlin, a farmer living 5 miles southwest of McLean, was entirely destroyed by fire. Mr. Bowlin at the time was at McLean, or the situation might now be different, the team, wagon and harness, which he had with him and a trunk from the house was all that was saved from the ravages of the flames, 3 head of horses, a few hogs and about 150 chickens besides his hay and a considerable amount of grain was lost. He carried some insurance, which will help him to sustain the loss. Mr. Bowlin is a hard working man and his loss should appeal to his neighbors and friends in such away that they will help to relieve him in a financial way.

No, the deadest man on earth is not numbered in Father Times harvest. You cannot find his tombstone in the cemetary, neither does a mossy mound mark his lowly bed.

Why I would much rather be a first class corpse, with my body nurturing green grass above me and taking my chances of developing into the liveliest kind of an angel over there than to exist in such a mental fog of stupidy, as if the undertaker had judged I was not even worth a coffin.
