Helm attempted to hold up Homer Calle, the man who robbed Hughes Sunday night, in order to force him to go to North Platte with him.

The dis ease developed itself while the de ceased was employed as a fireman 011 the Union Pacific, and he went to Omaha to consult with and re ceive treatment from the LT. P. sur geons. His treatment there brought him some little relief and upon re turning he was given the position of firing the switch engine, a work less arduous than firing on the road. The disease grew worse, however, and a few days prior to his death he was compelled to quit work. While his condition was considered serious, death was not anticipated until twenty-four hours before dissolution occurred. William E. Dill was born at Springfield, 111., on March 12, 1863, and was therefore in his thirty fifth year. lie accompanied his parents to North Platte in 1S7(). and has since made this citv his home. On the litteenth of last April he was united in marriage to Miss Hattie Fenwick, a union that proved a very happy one.

Friend Bare: It strikes me that you and The Tribune are not doing just the fair thing by us railroad men in your unholy crusade against the games of chance resorts here in town. Now, 3-011 know very well we have been running on the road very hard up: to a week or so ago. and often just as we would get in a game and perhaps lose half or all of our check the caller would come along and out we would have to go, not giving us a chance to make up for our losses. Just as business slacks up a little so we would have time to set in the game long enough to make some of our last fall's losses good, you come along and make a howl, shutting up all the gambling houses so we can't get even with the game. It looks to me as if you stood in with them fellows. I am yours truly, Sanford Hartman. SiJiJJ '-2 vs -a i-JJiJiJjjjij cr U 3 VENTS IN NEBRASKA, li -aa33333-333233:233333i3 333 3 5 Mrs. M. E.
