Ed Ferris, the barrister, writes city clerk after his name. ... -------------- "The City of Red Cloud."-For the last two years the press of Red Cloud and the people generally have been agitating the question of organizing the village of Red Cloud into a city of the second class. It would have been done long ago, but for the fact that the law was lame in regard to the proper mode to pursue in regard to the matter. But finally the difficulty was overcome, and by advice of City Attorney Rickards the organization was completed on last Thursday night. July 16, at the regular meeting of the council. Under the old regime the powers of the city officers for making internal improvements was abridged, and consequently could not proceed to the extent that our growing city demanded hence the new organization. The Chief is pleased to see that our board of trustees have the advancement of the city at heart, and with the aid of the citizens there it no reason why there should not ae an unprecedented era of prosperity in the future. Let push and enterprise be the watchword. New railroads, new bridges, new stores, manufactories, etc. are what are needed, and having the best location in the valley there is no reason why we should not be a great city in the future Let the business men and citizens unite for the advancement aud growth of our city and business interests. The city officers under thc new reign are: Mayor--R L Tinker. Alderman, 1st Ward--S. W. Coon and J. L. Miner. Alderman, 2nd Ward--A. T. Ormeby and T. J. Mosher. Clerk--Ed. Ferris. Attorney--J. N.

A CHANGE OF PARTNERS ---------- [Original.] One summer evening a rowboat containing two young men and two young women was drifting idly on the Allegheny river above the city of Pittsburg. They were two pairs of lovers, John Baron and Lillie Beck, Bartle Farr and Margaret Ferris. If any one would have told them that within a very short time there would be a transposition among them as fiances they would not have believed it. Nevertheless such a change came to pass. John Baron was one of those phlegmatic, taciturn, undemonstrative fellows who usually choose their opposites, and ?? Lillie Beck he found, exactly the girl to attract him. Bartle Farr was a gay, devil may care young man, who found in Margaret Ferris those steady qualities that a man of his character seemed to need. Everybody said that both couples would make an admirable match. It was in a the days when Nitroglycerin was supplied from above Pittsburg on the Allegheny to the oil fields in Pennsylvania, floated down in the stiletto-like boats some thirt feet long by four feet wide. Each boat carried enough nitroglycerin to blow anything it struck to the clouds. It was run by two men, who had strict orders to lie up at nightfall. In the daytime they could be seen far eough ahead to enable such craft as they came across to get out of the way, and , since they did not run at night, there was no necessity for accident. The party in the skiff had pulled far up the river during the afternoon, intending to drift down leisurely with the current in the twilight. Bartle Farr, who never took thought for the future, inststed on rowing up much farther that was intended. Margaret Ferris had endeavored to check his enthusiasm, but on this occasion was unequal to the task, or, rather, she permitted him to have his way, only warning him that in case they were caught out on the river in the dark and anything happened she would hold him responsible. Twilight was fading into night, and they were still several miles above the city drifting down with the current. Margaret proposed that the men should take to the oars and was seconded by Baron. Whereupon Farr declared that they were having the best part of their excursion and as for himself he proposed to enjoy it. Baron took a pair of oars and began to row. At this Farr made a curt remark about his timidity at being out after dark without a protector. Baron made no reply, but kept on pulling. When the night settled down upon them Farr and Miss Ferris were in the bow, Farr with his back between the two gunwales, Miss Ferris sitting on the foremost seat, facing him. Miss Beck was at the tiller, Baron on the "stroke" seat rowing. Suddenly something black on the river appeared within a few yards of them, and a voice shouted, "Get out of the way for your lives!" and two splashes followed as of persons jumping into the water. In another moment John Baron recognized the dim outline of a nitroglycerin boat coming straight for the skiff. At the moment Farr, who had risen to see what was coming, recognized the danger. He plunged into the water and dived to avert the coming explosion. Baron, putting all his strength into one supreme effort, gave two strokes with the port oar, and before he could give a third the nose of the nitroglycerin boat rubbed the stern of the skiff. For a few seconds the side of the explosive craft slid along the stern of the skiff, then the danger had passed. Baron took in the situation at once. The men on the boat had been running her too late into the night, and on coming upon the skiff, after shouting a warning, had jumped overboard. The situation after the danger had passed was this: Farr was swimming for the skiff, Miss Beck was lying in the a faint in the stern. Baron was resting on his oars, while Miss Ferris was sitting quietly on the forward seat. Her checks flamed at the cowardice of her lover, who had left her to die while he saved himself. Baron knew that the nitroglycerin boat being without guidance would go on down the river, liable at any moment to cause great loss of life and property. He was a good swimmer and resolved to catch it. Plunging into the water, be swam lustily, gaining on it all the while till at last he caught it. Pulling himself upon the deck, he seized a rope fixed to the bow, tied the line around body, and, plunging again into the water, swam for the shore. In this he ran a fearful risk. A rock or a root of a tree if struck would blow up the boat and him with it. Landing on a point, he allowed the boat to swing downstream with the current, then fastened his rope to a stump. The next morning John Baron's feat was konwn in Pittsburg and Allegheny, and he became a hero. As for the two men who deserted the boat neither ever showed his face in that region again. The day after the party reached home Miss Ferris wrote Farr a note breaking their engagement. Baron ??? noticed his fiance's collapse and that Miss Ferris retained her equanimity. From that moment he showed the latter a preference, which resulted in the breaking of his engagement, and he afterward became engaged to Miss Ferris. Bartle Farr, when he found that that he had lost Miss Ferris, wither to show that he was not inconsolable or from sheer desperation, took up with the neglected Miss Beck. She was not a strong character. Farr made love desperately and won her. He derived some satisfaction in making the other two believe that he was just as well satisfied as if the exchange had not occurred.

Reynoldville, Pa., Dec. 5.---Robert and Charles Ferris, nine and five years old, were burned to death and their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Caesar Ferris, probably fatally injured, and the only other members of the family, Maude, eleven years old and a bay, were badly hurt in a fire which destroyed the Ferris home early today. The family was asleep on the second floor when Robert was awakened by the flames at 4 o'clock this morning. The only stairway in the house was afire. The father and mother were injured in jumping through w window, with Maude and the bay. The two lads, bewildered with the flames already leaping around the window, turned to look for another exit when the house collapsed. Their bodies were found in the ruins tonight. A gas stove left burning is supposed to have set the woodwork on fire. ________________________________________________________________________________________ name of newspaper: The Norfolk Weekly News-Journal location: Norfolk, Nebraska date of article: Thursday, November 24, 1911 issue: unknown page: page 8 column: 4 about: https://nebnewspapers.unl.edu/lccn/sn95070058/ about: https://www.loc.gov/item/sn95070058/ source: https://nebnewspapers.unl.edu/lccn/sn95070058/1911-11-24/ed-1/seq-8/#words=Ferris+Robert ... ---------------- SOUTH DAKOTA AT A GLANCE. ------- ...

He plead guilty to the charge and was sentenced by Judge Dickson to three years in the state penitentiary. He was taken to Lincoln Saturday morning by Deputy Sheriff Bergstrom. The attempted assault took place near the public library, about 11 o'clock Wednesday night, July 21. He grabbed the girl, badly tearing her clothes but she put up such a fight and screamed for help and Ferris got scared and ran away. The young girl recognized her assailant and Chief of Police Calkins was notified and he had the attempted ravisher in custody and in the city jail within an hour after the attempted assault. Friday morning he was confronted with the mayor and police officers and he admitted the attempt to assault and signed a confession to that effect in the peresnce of Mayor Kersenbrock, Police Judge Bay and Policeman Lewis. He was then taken before the County Attorney where he again admitted his guilt and was then taken before the district court where he plead guilty and was promptly sentenced. The local police are entiled to credit for handling this case so efficiently. For several months women and young girls have been chased on the streets of the city, during the evening hours, and the punishment of this man Ferris will probably have a good effect on others who are pursuing the same tactics, and they had better take warning from his case unless they also wish to get a few years in the big house near Lincoln. ------------------- ...

Mr. Long writes that after organization all that part of the state lying north of a continuation of Holt's southern boundary line, from its southwest corner straight west to where the same would intersect the Wyoming line; thence to the north boundary line of the state and comprising the vast territory before mentioned was attached to the county under statutory provisions for election, judicial and revenue purposes until the organization of Brown county in 1883, and Boyd county in 1891. But slight effort was made however, to enforce the provisions of the law in respect to the collections of revenue by Holt County until the year 1879. In the autumn of that year the officials of the county employed and dispatched H. M. Uttley, a resident lawyer of O'Neill to the unorganized terrritory to ferret out the inhabitants of the county who were taxable. Mr. Uttley reported the following ranchers as residents and doing business in the territory and who were widely distributed over its vast area, but principally along the Niobrara river and its tributaries the Long and Short Pine Creeks, the Ash, Keya Paha, Bone, Gordon, Bordman, Snake, White and Holt Creeks, namely: Morehead and Carpenter, Countz, Yates & Co., Hunter & Todd, H. Drexell, M. Kernan, A. N. Bassett & Co., Y. W. Sharp & Co., J. R. Poor, Robert Ferris, James A. and J. Creighton, A. M. Brinkerhoff, T. Barnhart, G. W. Tower & Co., Carpenter and Robertson, J. G. P. Moorehead, M. F. & D. J. McCaun, Ed Cook and Hunter & Evans. Most of the cattle carried on those ranches had been driven in from Texas and the ranchers carried from 1000 to 10,000 each-—most of them averaging about 5000 head.
