   Hyannis the county seat of Grant county, is on the Newcastle branch of the B. & M. R. R., 131 miles west of Broken Bow, and 59 miles east of Alliance. It has a population of 200. The altitude is about 3,900 feet above sea level. The surrounding country is hilly and what is known as a lake country. Fertile valleys surround the town, and all kinds of grain can be raised in abundance. The hill-sides are covered with thick grasses upon which immense herds of cattle can be profitably fed. Springs are plentiful and water can be procured at a depth of from five to thirty feet. There is abundance of hay in the district. This is perhaps one of the best stock raising countries in the West. There is one newspaper published here, the Tribune, Cushing & Alwood, proprietors.
