NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 22 Nov 1889, Vol. III - No. 12 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1889/89nov22.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin June 18, 2002 =================================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado A.A. Spahr, Editor & Publisher 22 Nov 1889, Friday, Vol. III - No. 12 Page One LOCAL LORE C.E. McPherson returned from the Silver convention Tuesday. J.F. McClug of Cheyenne was in town last week. Clarence Sherman is spending a few days in Holyoke this week. Frank Stack was holding down cases on the HERALD this week. William C. Robinson returned from his Denver trip last Sunday. This week we publish the official vote of Phillips County in full. C.R. Hubble is now reading the HERALD in pay for bringing in the largest watermelon last summer. The stand pipe is now towering the heavens, and is quite an ornament to Prospect Hill. P.C. Westover, A.M. Woodford, and W.N. Jordon rode their bicycles to Grant Sunday. They took the freight on their return. Mr. Rogers from the country, dropped dead in the City Drug store last Monday. He had been suffering with consumption for some time. The HERALD has changed its location and will now be found one door south of Hoskins Bros Store, where we shall be pleased to have our farmer friends drop in and give us the news. S.H. Shoemaker, of Raymer, one of the editors of the Raymer Herald, was in Holyoke over Sunday, the guest of Mr. Frazier of the Gordon House. He reports the little burg on the boom. Mrs. Belknap, who has been sick for some time past, died last Monday morning. She leaves a husband and eight children to mourn her departure. They have the sympathy of the entire town in this, their great misfortune. “How would W.W. Ware sound for state senator from this district next year?” - News. Well, really, Bro. Williams, we are compelled to say that it sounds a very great deal better now than it will sound next fall, and judging from the vote that has just been cast we think we come very nearly voicing the sentiment of the voters of Phillips County when we say W.W. Ware for senator would harmonize with public feeling about as well next fall as would the filing of a cross-cut saw with the music of an old bull. But of course this is not time to discuss the chances of any man for that position, and we are confident that had Mr. Ware known of this blunder being made he would not have allowed the above item to have appeared in the News or any other paper. But the old man is always going off prematurely and his friends must put up with his shortcomings and mistakes. The post office squabble seems just as far from a satisfactory settlement now as it did two months ago. Everything depends upon the action of the state delegation, and the matter stands in just this position. Our delegation consisting of our senators and representatives have now recommended the appointment of S.K. Cheadle, which means his appointment and a consequent continuation of the fight and a probable election of a democratic representative from this district next fall, and also a very strong remonstrance against Mr. Cheadle as soon as he is appointed. Now the situation narrows down to this: will our delegation withdraw their recommendation of Mr. Cheadle and combine with us upon a new candidate in the interest of party harmony and republican success, or will they persist in their ill-advised course, and fasten the rope about their own political necks. Will they continue to ignore the wishes of our people and the advice of our party leaders who are here upon the ground and do that very thing, they would be so quick to censure if the act was not their own. We must wait developments, and hope to have some light upon this subject for our readers in our next issue. Tom Martin took in the sights of Grant Sunday. Andy Jackson has rented Al Gaddy’s house and moved in. Johnnie Huntington is now tending bar for Lewis. Mr. Keiser, traveling for the State Journal, was a caller last week. James Glynn took charge of his duties as county judge last Monday. Gus Temple had he misfortune to run a pitchfork through his foot last week. Mr. McMahone of Loomis, Nebraska has rented a building in Holyoke prepatory to putting in a flour and feed store. A.F. Clappers’ smiling countenance was seen on our streets during the week. A.F. is located at York. E.J. Wolters and wife left Monday morning for Salt Lake City, where Mr. W. is putting in a stock of clothing. They will be very much missed in Holyoke. As the HERALD has been somewhat torn up during the past few weeks on account of moving, its columns have not been filled with as much news as in the past. But we are now settled and will guarantee our readers all the news in the city and country. The Phillips County Bar tender their thanks through the HERALD to J.H. Painter for his kindness and courtesy shown them during his term as county judge, which expired last Monday. Mr. Painter made a good record while in office and has the confidence and respect of the people of Phillips County. He will now resume his law practice. The following contests have been begun in our courts: T. Barr vs. B.A. Hoskins, with L. Tinkel, D.R. Wilson and Jesse B. Gordon as bondsmen; A. A. Temple vs. L.C. Witherbee, with Temple Bros., L. Tinkel, E.S. Dakan and W.G. Helland as bondsmen; and E.E. Brannon vs. James Glynn, with C.M.C. Woolman as bondsman. We say not a word. We have no comments to make. All we ask is that the public notice the men who are interested in the above and pass their own judgment. A little difficulty arose between Aaron Woodson and a man from Haigler last Wednesday. The Haigler man claimed Aaron owed him and a dispute followed when Aaron slapped him and the Haigler man pulled his gun but lacked the nerve to shoot; about this time Sheriff Witherbee appeared on the seen and took the man with the gun before Squire Moore. He was tried and turned loose, and as soon as he got out of the justice’s office Aaron came up and wanted to finish up the affair, but the presence of Sheriff Witherbee put a stop to any more “scrapping” and the blood thirsty individuals separated, both unharmed. DIED - At David City, on Sunday, November 3, 1889, of heart trouble, Mary A. Gleason, aged 30 years, 6 months and 19 days. Mary A. Bowen was born in Grant Colorado, Wisconsin, April 14, 1859, where she passed her childhood. January 25, 1880 she was married to John V. Gleason, and came to Nebraska that year. Two children, a girl of eight years and a baby boy, were the results of that union and survive her. A kind and devoted wife and loving mother is taken from this earth to the happier home above, and to the mourning husband, father, mother, brother and sisters we commend these few lines, written by her a few days before her demise, headed “God Be With You, Till We Meet Again.” God be with you ‘till we meet again. By his council, guide and uphold you, With His sheep securely fold you. God be with you. ‘Neath his wings securely hold you, Daily Manna still divide you. God be with you, When life’s peril thick confound you, Put His arms unfailingly around you. God be with you. Keep love’s banner floating o’er you, Smite death's thr’t’ning wave before you. God be with you. The funeral services took place from the M.W. church here on Tuesday, Rev. H.C. Harman officiating the services being well attended by her friends here and in the country. -- Utica Sun. A RESOLUTION At a meeting of the Phillips County bar the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. - WHEREAS the Honorable J.H. Painter’s term of office as county judge of Phillips County has expired and he is again to take up his practice as a brother attorney. Be it - RESOLVED By the attorneys of the Phillips County bar assembled, that we tender our kindest regards for the courtesy and kindness which has been uniformly extended to all of us during his term of office, and upon the retirement from the official position which he has so ably filled, we all welcome him back to our ranks and wish him abundant success in professional life. - RESOLVED That the foregoing resolutions be published in the Phillips County papers. -- James Donovan, J.S. Bennett, P.J. Dempster, W.D. Kelsey, Emmet E. Brannon, A.A. Spahr, C.F. Frank, Charles E. McPherson, James Glynn Mrs. Kidd is visiting in Denver this week. Al Gaddy has purchased J.E. Wolter’s house. W.F. Slater has rented a house and moved his family to town. Daniel Boyer proved up last week and is going to stay in Phillips County. Ad - The City Drug store has received their holiday goods, and have got a fine line. Ad - Call around at the City Drug store and inspect those Holiday goods that they have got in NOTICE - Teachers examination at the school room in Holyoke, November 29th, 1889 at 9 o‘clock M.T. -- O. Trego, County Supt. The News comes out with about three columns of reading matter and fourteen columns of dead patent medicine adds, and still the old man persists in saying the News is the best local paper in the county. The call is out for a meeting of the farmers and all voters of Phillips County tomorrow, at 2 o’clock, in Baker’s hall, to have an expression of the people upon the numerous contests that have been filed against our county officials. This is a move in the right direction. The voters of Phillips County elected them to the positions they now hold and their wishes in the matter should be regarded, and we will say right now that we have the first man to say that he favored any of the contests that have been begun, and those that are interested will one day discover the sad mistake they have made in this matter. On last Monday Jerome Lewis’ bartender got to imbibing a little too freely and imagined some of the occupants of the saloon were snakes and other reptiles and consequently got after them with a gun, which caused the saloon to be vacated very sudden. Fortunately no one was hurt. The said bartender is not to be seen behind Lewis’ bar any more. Among our people it seems there are always “wars and rumors of wars.” How long, oh, how long must this unnecessary evil be with us? It is wrong. It is all radically wrong. When the 5th day of November had passed, then should peace have been declared, and those candidates who received the highest number of votes should have taken their seats for the respective offices to which they were elected, without any further opposition. This is the policy the HERALD advocated, and this is the policy we now most emphatically advocate, and the fact that some of our people who had their most cherished hopes shattered and their favorite plans go wrong should now by harassing and persecuting attempt to cause any of our county officials unnecessary trouble and expense is the basest of injustice and the height of politic folly, and the day will come when they will fully realize the force of these words. Dr. Barr made many friends by his manly course, and while there were so many votes against him it was not owing to his unpopularity but simply to B.A. Hoskins popularity and now the best thing, and only thing left, for Barr is to bide his time and not by any act of indiscretion at this time drive from him the friendship of the voters of Phillips County by or through the advice of those who are his pretended friends for the simple reason they would use him as a tool to satisfy their own appetite for revenge or line their own pockets with his misfortunes, and the same argument; the same facts apply to every other case. Gentlemen, for heaven’s sake be men! Stop these factional fights that benefits no one, and is making it such a hardship upon our town and county. It is not with any pleasure we are compelled to write this. The HERALD is not seeking a fight with any man or set of men, and it is with a feeling of the greatest responsibility we take a stand on the many vexatious questions that are daily, it seems, coming up. But it is our duty and the HERALD will never be found dodging an issue or running from a foe worthy the name, and we now want it distinctly understood that this paper is squarely against any man or combination of men who attempt to create discord in our midst or dissensions among our people, and to the end that we may be as widely known for our harmonious progression as we are now known for disgraceful dissensions shall we strive. SIX FORTY-FOUR John Brummer was down to Buzzard’s Roost this week. The young folks enjoyed an evening with Mr. Jarvis and lady. A “Prairie Schooner” in our neighbor Brown’s yard reminds us there will soon be another family lost as they propose visiting Mrs. B’s parents in Missouri. Mrs. Shoals is quite sick at this writing.

John Norseen has been in 9-46 the past week. The young folks of this vicinity met at Thomas Peter’s last Friday evening to have a social good time. The evening was enjoyably spent in dancing and cards. Messrs Trego and Burkhalter discoursed some fine music for the occasion. Mary Peter was at John Hageman’s the fore part of last week. County Superintendent Trego was visiting the school in Dist. 47-9-46 last Tuesday. Dan Boyer of 7-43 was in this vicinity last Thursday.
