The train had stopped at Hershey and Gilfoyle told the hobo, who was on the train to get off. The latter complied with the request, but later climbed on again. Gilfoyle again made the fellow get off, and this time the tramp struck Hank over the hand with a club. This ronsed the ire of the latter and he proceeded to administer a good thrashing to the tramp. Hank supposed this would settlethe matter, and walked away. When a few.steps distant the tramp drew a thirty-two calibre revolver and fired twice, one of the shots hitting Gilfoyle above the hipand cutting through the flesh, the heavy clothing evidently causing the ball ball to glance. The tramp then took to his heels and fled north. The train arrived in town about an hour later, the officers were informed of the occur rence, and Sheriff Miller and others left on an extra at eleven o'clock for Hershey -to search for the assailant. Gilfoyle's yound is tnot- danger ous, but that he is alive is due . to the poor marksmanship of the tramp and the heavy clothing which caused the ball to glance. George, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McDonald, died at his home in this city Saturday night of consumption, a disease he contracted last spring while a stu dent at Kendall Green college near Washington, D. C. The deceased since earl', childhood was deprived of the power of speech and sense of hearing, an affliction that fell heavily upon him, as he was natur ally a very bright and ambitious boy. George was born in this city in the early part of 1872, and though unfortunate in the above particu lars was a general favorite with all both as a boy and as a young man. He attended school at Omaha, and later at Kendall Green, and became very proficient in communicating his desires by writing as well as by actions. Had he possessed the faculties of which he was deprived, his ambition and natural brightness would have won him more than an ordinary station in life. The funeral was held from the Methodist church yesterday afternoon, Rev. Snavely officiating, in the presence of a large assemblage. George's life on earth was heavy with affliction but it was as pure as . crystal; he has won the crown of' that peaceful, happy and eternal life beyond the grave. Prof. Garlichs' 4 -Little Tycoon" company from North Platte showed last night in this city. They were greeted by a rather small audience, but gave a good performance when the disadvantages they labored under are taken into consideration. There were over thirty people in the company and everybody won ders how they managed to get along so well on the small stage.

On Tusday night, Oct. 22c', Manager Lloyd has arranged for the appearance of Wm. Hoey's com pany of laugh-makers presenting a new comic play by Louis DeLange, entitled "The Globe Trotter." Bill Hoey, OldHoss, is certainly one of the most prominent of laugh-makers, and now has a play which it is sani suits his peculiar line of comedy admirably. He is still to be seen as; "Old HosSjnnd again as a deaf and dumb old lady and a bpgus English swell. Admirers of Hoey will find it hard to imagine Old Hoss as a woman, dressed in a most regal costume, bewigged and .powdered to to the highest degree, but such, the public is assured, is Hoev in his tfew creation, and the fun he manages to extract from this new element of comedy is certainly "unlimited, as he keeps his auditors in one continuous roar of laughter throughout the entire evening. Hoey as an English swell has been known, his walk and drawl having been imitated unconsciously by theatre goers for some time past. This time we will have him in a new creation of the English swell a sort of Taffy as it were, with flowing mutton chops of the most vivid hue, a tight fitting suit, a walk and a drawl that are all new and laughter-provoking.
