RAP MAN CI TS
TP AT ACTIO It
York Democrat:
Who got that port wine? This (a
' question agitating the minds of r
lot of Gresham people, as well as the
minds of County Attorney Gilmore
-nd Sheriff Miller. A few Gresham
'sports" know, all right, but they
are keeping as mum as the proverb
ial oyster.
Just before May 1 a cask of port
wine was received at the Northwest
ern depot in Gresham. It Was not
ailed for beforo the "deadline" date
was passed, therefore it could not be
delivered and was carefully stored
a way in the freight house. May 4
County Attorney Gilmore made de
mand upon the agent at Gresham for
the wine, but the agent asked for
time in which to correspond with the
railroad authorities at Omaha. Time
was granted, but nothing was done,
and one day last week the county at
torney made another demand, cou
pled with the notice that unless the
'iemand was complied with he would
begin action agalnat the agent for
fiaving wine In his possession illegal
ly. The agent complied and County
Attorney Gilmore and Sheriff Miller
seised it.
That is to say, they sized some of
rt. But before they got to it some
thirsty Greshamites beat 'em to it.
The depot at Gresham has no other
foundation than short piling, and the
floor is about two feet or a little more
from the ground. All around the
bottom is nailed grain doors to keep
out four-legged hogs- They proved
useless againBt the two-footed pork
ers. Carefully locating the exact
Position of that cask upon the depot
floor, some thirsty Greshamites re
moved a grain door, crawled under
'he depot, and with a brace and bit
bored an inch hole through the floor.
With the same brace and a smaller
bit a hole was bored into the bottom
of that cask, and presumably a short
piece of hose inserted. Anyhow,
nore than half the contents of that
cask was drained out and presuma
bly found ila way down thirsty and
parched throats. Who owns those
once parched throats? County At
torney Gilmore wants to know, and
wants to know badly. The cask with
the remainder of the original con
tents were brought to York and will
be held pending the rusults of a thoro
investigation.
Rushvllle Standard:
Sheriff Ilruce was out north of
Gordon last Saturday delivering sup
plies for registration day and while
there received word to go over to
Antioch to quarantine some small
pox cases that had been reported.
Shortly after receiving such a mes
sage he received another one inform
ing him that there was a bad man
over there who was attempting to
clean out the town and was fairly
successful in carrying his attempts
to a successful point, and that the
sheriff was wanted. Procuring Lew

the trip swiftly and successfully. The
fellow was secured Sunday and they
started for Rushvllle with him.

tough's name is John Heustas and
he assaulted Ed Sanford, who came
around by train and filed a com
plaint against Heustas. Sandford

on his face, neck and head. Heus

$25 and costs, but being financially

Scottsbluff Republican:
At the meeting of the Commercial

good one, and we are of the opinion
that he will fulfill the duties of the
office to which he h hn Stftettd
with rredit both to himself and to
the organization. We are intormeo
that he will still retain his position
as city attorney, but that he is to de

position to the work of the club. He
will commence his duties as secre

Crawford Tribune:
State Senator Adams has been
busy the past ten days in telegraphic
and written communication with U.
S. Senator Hitchcock and others in
relation to having Fort Robinson
military reservation duly considered
as an appropriate place for training
and mobilizing a division or more of
troops of our emergency array. As
surances have been given that the
attention of the secretary of war and
the commanding general of the de
partment have been properly called
to the matter, and this in connection
with the favorable report made by
the army officers who were here
some time airo lookine over the res
ervation will undoubtedly cause Fort
Robinson to receive due consideration.

of Bayard people congregated at the
hall to do honor to the yourjg men
of this town and community who
have enlisted in Co. G, 4tb Nebraaka

Capt. J. B. Miller of Alliance. There
were ten who made application, two

for the occasion and while there was
music, songs, speeches and laughter,
there was .ilso mingled with it an

Kimball Observer:
A crook named Chas. C. Morgan
came near getting away with $100
from the account of Harry Olson of
Kirk, who for the past six months
has been making his home In Chey
enne and working as n brskemsn.
Saturday the Citlsens' State bank
at this place received a wire from
Billings, Mont., requesting it to wire
to Harry Olson $100. As Mr. Olson
had been in the habit of having the
bank wire smaller amounts to him
they thought little of it. Two rea
sons were given by Mr. Bushee for
not wiring the money. One was that
it had not been the custom of Mr.
Olson to wire for as much as $100
and the other, they supposed he was
In Cheyenne. Instead of wiring the
money they sent a draft Saturday
and wired to Mr. Olson (supposed to
be) that they had sent a draft. Mon
day morning Mr. Olson happened to
come to Kimball and came into the
bank. After he had learned what
had been done, the bank wired to the
bank at Billings and also to the sher
iff there to srrest the man who called
to cash the draft. This was done
and Chas. C. Morgan is now in Jail in
the city of Billings.
Mr. Olson stated that he had met
Morgan and another fellow In Chey
enne and had told them considerable
about his business. That he had
notes to the amount of $2,000 in the
Citlsens bank at Kimball and also a
checking account. He often wired
for a little when he needed it snd al
ways received it at once. This put
Morgan wise and the effort to ex
tract one hundred dollars from Ol
son's account followed. Mr. Olson
and Cashier Walter Rodman went to
Cheyenne Monday to find the other
man who had chummed with Morgan
but were unsuccessful.

the boys of Mitchell taking their j

country. There are no recruiting
officers here, no demonstrations to
enthuse, no loud hurrahs such as in
some localities appear to be neces

rahs snd grand displays mean little
as compared with that love of coun

hazardous service for sn Indefinite

can only be conjectured.
