M I SERVICE Morrill Mall: One of the most important chang es in freight service was scheduled to take place Monday morning, Ap ril 16. but has been postponed for a short time now. All freight trains out of Alliance west on this branch were to make the run to Morrill, where they would lay over till the following day, and the trains from Guernsey on the west were to do the same. This change in service will make Morrill the most important railroad town be tween Alliance and Guernsey, equip ped fo rtrain service as It is with a "Y" and about two miles of siding, we are watching for news announc ing the building of a round house and other big improvements for this promising little 'fsity. MOLD II' OLD LADY 75 YEARS OIJ Custer County Republican : Robert Draper and Arthur Clark are now lodged in the county Jail with the preliminary hearing set for 'his afternoon as a result of a holdup near Arnold the first of the. week. The victim was Ellen Robison. The robbery occurred Monday night. The young men went to the Robi son home during the night and stole some butter and eggs and were leav ing when it was seen by them that the noise had aroused the resident. They waited and watched through n window and saw her put some money in her dress and put out the light. They watched her and she started to ward the neighbor's, nearly a quar ter of a mile dlBtant. The young men followed and over came her, taking the. money from her. She suffered no injury at their hands. Complaint was made and a search started. Ernest Thompson went over Tuesday and saw the marshal and found that blood hounds had been sent for and it was decided that they would wait until they earned Marshal Draper of Arn old however suspicioned his nephew, Robert Draper, and so went and hunted the boys up. They confessed to him and he arrested them and turned them over to the deputy sher iff. The boys claim that they were drunk at the time they committed the crime. Every credit is due to Marshal Draper for hunting out the b'lys when he was suspicious, even though one of them is related to him. SKIM KM OK HAD FIRES CAUSES EXCITEMENT Bridgeport News-Blade: Bridgeport and vicinity has been the scene of a series of conflagrations and prairie fires the past week and has aroused many property and land owners to devise ways and means of preventing losses from the fire de mon. On Monday night Fred Her man's place was visited by fire and a big barn and Overland car. which was Inside of the building, were de stroyed. Two prairie fires were also reported that afternoon north of Bridgeport on the Wm. Bassett place and also on the J. D. Hagerty place, but these were not particularly seri ous. Early Tuesday morning the fire bell was rung to procure help in fighting a prairlejnre west of town on the east side of the Burlington railroad track, and this was success fully extinguished; but at 3 o'clock all the bells and whistles in towi were again sounded calling for help In fighting a big prairie fire west of the city on the west side of the Bur lington track and this one was of a more serious nature. Sufficient help was secured to chock it and fort;;:: ately no buildings or other property were lost. These late fires have been awakening everyone to the fact that fireguards must bo plowed on grassy land and property owners In the city as well as In the rural districts should take extra precaution in clearing away all dead grass, weeds and rubbish in order that a serious fire may be avoided such as visitd the neighboring town of Mitchell. it of patriotism which is so appropri ate at this time. We understand that the work of making the pole will be completed In time that the dedicating of the pole and the raising of the flag for the first time may take place on Memor ial Day and special services be held for the purpose on that day. Is Gordon patriotic? Wait and see, or look up and down Main street any day. NO SPY KILLED AT LAKK M1NATAKK AKTKR ALL Minatare Free Tress: Wednesday morning there was quite a little excitement in town bas ed on a report that a man had beeh killed while prying around the dam of Lake Minatare which is now un der guard as a precautionary meas ure. The only grounds for the re- i port seems to lie in the fact that a ! prowler was driven away from the ham of Camp 12, but as the night was as dark as a stack a block cats he was able to make his getaway i without being detected.

The list was circulated all day Sat urday and at night more than $119 had been subscribed, and this added to a sum secured the fore part of the week seems to be ample to put up a fine staff.

It is the first time that this organiz ation has held a meeting of such i magnitude In the city and much en- I tliuslasm was shown by those attend- i ing. The Public Service club rooms was !the meeting place for all and as the 'noon hour approached there had as sembled between seventy and eighty ' Scottish Rite Masons, many of them accompanied by their wives. A little before 1 o'clock they marched In a body to the Burlington hotel, where an elaborate banquet had been I spread in the large dining room. Immediately following the splen did dinner, Hon. F. M.

Tooley, of Anselmo, Clarice lalDoi, of Berwyn, Fred C. Embree, of Mer- Gerlng Courier: There Is a strong prospect that a change of the passenger train sched ule on the Gering line will be put In to effect within the next few weeks, according to Traveling Passenger Agent Maiion. who is in this city to day consulting business men and others in reference to the matter. Briefly, it comprehends shortening the running tlem between Gering and North Platte each way so as to make about one and three quarters of an hour between the Incoming and out going train here. This would not only allow better shopping time In Gering for people from down the line, but the later, thus giving that much less time on the run from Gering to Omaha, the arrival there being the same as at present. It may be htat the Incoming train will arrive half an hour later, but this will admit of leaving Omaha on either No. 13 or No. 19, and In the latter case a close connnection would be made at North Platte. The matter Is being looked Into from the (ierlng standpoint, It hAine the ststed desire of the Union Pacific to do what they can In the In terest of this city, which they regard as their important point on this line.
