Detective Jack Davis is having
quite a serious time with his knee
which he badly bruised some time
ago while getting on a train at Big

.-Quite a -surprise, was sprung
upon some of the railroad employes
a few days ago. The company sur
mised that several, employes were
obtaining fuel without rendering
an equivalent, and an investigation
proved that these employes had not
purchased any coal this winter
through the order system provided
by the company or from the local
dealers without orders, although
they burned as much coal as other
employes. Confronted with these
facts, it is said these certain em
ployes admitted that they had
been getting their supply of coal
from the company's yards without
rendering an equivalent therefore.
It is said this discovery may result
in some discharges.
' The case of William Brown
against John Keith is being heard
before Judge Hoagland, who was
appointed referee by Judge Norris.
This case, which involves several
thousand dollars, grows out of a
partnership which existed between
Keith and Brown for about four
years, the business being that of
raising and feeding cattle and con
ducting a general ranch business.
At the time the partnership which
was of an oral nature was dis
solved, an amicable settlement
could not be madS by the partners,
Brown contending that Keith owed
him several thousand dollars, while
lleith claims a counter account
gainst-Brown. Considerable evi
dence will be introduced in the case.

Dr. McCabe will speak at the
Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon. He
will enlarge some on his lecture
delivered once before to the young
men at the association rooms. The
Doctor's talk before was from a
physician's experience and was full
of helpful suggestions and warnings
to all who heard him. It is by
request that he repeats this talk
and it is hoped by the association
that every man in the city will
hear him.
The Tribune expected a report
of the teachers' meeting, held last
Saturday, from one who was in at
tendance, but it expectations were
not realized and an account of the
meeting cannot be given. We learn,
however, that some fifty or sixtjr
were in attendance and that the
programme was presented in a
manner that created much interest.
In the evening Rev. D. Z. Foulk
gave a lecture on the battle of
Gettysburg, of which he was an
eye witness. This lecture proved
very interesting, as it brouglit out

The North Platte Telephone
Company was organized yesterday
with Geo. T. Field and O. W. Size
more as principal owners. An
order for the central office fixtures
was sent out by last night's mail,
and it is expected that the mater
ial will be received within two
weeks, though the line will not be
in operation before March 1st. It is
the intention of the compay to con
struct a line extending to all parts
of the city, and the work of so
liciting subscribers began today.
The company will put in instru
ments and charge a monthly rental,
or patrons of the line may put in
their own instruments and pay a
small sum as central office charges.
The central office will probably be
located in a room in the rear of
Sizemore's barber shop. The com
pany does not expect to make a
mint of money out of the enterprise
at the start, tmt the promoters do
believe that a business can be
eventually worked up which will
pay a fair per cent on the invest
ment. A telephone line will prove
of great convenience to a number
of our citizens, and we trust the
enterprize will prove a paying one
to the gentlemen interested. The
rate to be charged "customers has
not yet been decided upon. For
the benefit of the skeptical, we will
say -this line is an assured fact, as

In the present cold snap North

extremely cold, wThile here the
lowest temperature reached was 9

D. C. Congdon admits that all

The farmers' institute to be

Friday, February 4th and 5th,

ordinary interest. E. F. Stephens,

he is familiar and well posted. Mr.
Elmdorf, one of the most success
ful growers of fine-bred cattle in
the state, will also be present and
deliver an address upon the cattle
industry. A number of local speak
ers have also been secured to make
addresses. W. L. Park will talk
on soil culture, a subject which he
has given considerable study. H.
Otten will give the audience a re
sume of his experience in raising
fruit in Lincoln county. Sanford'
Hartmau, who has had much suc
cess as an apiarist, will tell of his
experience with that industry, and
J. A. Goodman will talk upon the
subject of stock feeding. Presi
dent Dooliittle, of the state board
of agriculture, will tell some facts
relating to that body. Several
fanners in the county have prom
ised that they will assist in discus
sing the several subjects. Al
together this institute promises to
be the most interesting of any yet
held in the county, and farmers
should make it a -point to be present.

court Friday and was fined one hundred
dollars and costs and ordered to make res
titution of the property. Seventeen
witnesses wore examined and the case
was warmly contested, but the evi-
depce proved conclusively that the pris

is a stiff one, but none too much, and

who js charged as an accomplice of Har
din in the stealing will have his hearing
on February 2d.

maidens, both of which were well re
ceived by the audience. The maskers
numbered about one hundred, a number
of the costumes being original and
striking. The judges awarded the
prizes for best costumes to Mrs. Henry
