Beatrice in Brief

Mrs. Dr. R. S. Albright and son have gone to Polo, Illinois on a visit.

Dr. Herbert Smith left today for a visit with friends in Iowa.  It is reported that while absent he is to be married.

Sheriff Nelson today took Smith, the convicted Adams hide thief to the penitentiary.  He also took to the asylum a man named Roberts, formerly of Liberty.

Farmers in this section who were decidedly blue a few days ago because of the continued cold wet weather, reported that corn is fairly jumping in its rapid growth.

A valuable team of large bay horses were stolen last night from the farm of A. M. T. Miller, two miles north of Pickrell.  It is thought the thieves took a northerly direction.

State of Nebraska vs. John Pisar was the title to a case tried in Justice Swain’s court today.  The defendant was charged with running a saloon in Blue Springs without a license.  The defendant, it appears, had been granted a license, but the court held that his notice of application has not been published the requisite length of time, and found for the plaintiff.  The defendant gave bonds for his appearance in district court.
