Tho Train Was Lost.
Westbound passenger train No.
3, due here last evening at 9:30,
was lost for over two hours be
tween this place and Alda, reports
Ihe Shelton Clipper. The train
was reported out of Grand Island
on time, and the operator at Alda
reported it out of that place on
time, hut that was the last that
could be heard ot the whereabouts
of the train for over two and a
half hours, when it pulled into
Shelton, having been two hours
longer on the road between the
two towns than it is supposed to
be by the schedule. When the
train failed to show up here on
time the night operator reported to
the dispatcher at Grand Island and
he reported back that it left there
on time as did also the operator, at
Alda. There being no night opera
tor at Wood River no communica
tion could be had with that point.
The train dispatcher continued at
intervals to inquire of Shelton
whether the train was in pi y li t and
was as often informed that it was
not to be seen, and when the oper
ator here finally informed him that
the head-light of the train could be
seen the dispatcher no doubt
heayed a sigh of relief. The delay
was soon evplnined by the train
men after their arrival here, and
from them it was learned that a
steam thresher engine had broken
down on the track about three
miles cast of Shelton, and all
efforts to get the track clear proved
fruitless until after a delay of over
two hour had been caused to the
train. What had become of the
train was a mystery for the time
being and caused considerable un
easiness on the part of the railroad
employees as well as to people who
had friends on the train. It is not
often that an entire railroad train
is lost, but this was indeed an
occasion of that kind.

While in the village of Hershey
the other day and having plenty of
time we concluded to take in the
town, The first place we visited
was Ware & Co.'s new store where
we found a spacious room well
filled with all kinds of first-class
merchandise at prices that can not
be duplicated in this comity. After
putting a nickle in the riot nnd
drawing a crook ciirar we took a
bee line east and after falling over
a dog in which Hershey abounds
we picked ourselves up amid the
cheets of several small boys and
pulling up to M. Mickelscn's depart
ment store where we found each
place complete in its line with
prices as low as the lowest. After
dropping a nickle in the slot we
departed with a B cigar for Dr
lives office which we found vacant
because he was out in the country
attending a patient. The next
place we visited was the post-office
where we spied Postmaster
Prickett Bcnted in an easy chair
smoking his pipe of peace and
patiently awaiting the arrival of
No. 5, which was about two hours
late, with the morning mail. From
there we made a break for the
Carpenter livery barn where he was
just making ready to drive two
traveling men to Sutherland and
one to North Platte. Then we
struck for the north side where W,
W. Youngs hardware store and
coal and lumber yard is located
with W. H. Hill as manager.
We had no difficulty t,herc
soon ascertaining that everything
ut-ually kept 111 those, lines were
there and at rock bottom prices
we struck the trail from there for
Seeberger & Co. office where we
lotind D. M. Leypoldt figuring up
his profits on a carload of hay and
E. F. Seeberger calculating on how
many ducks a good shot ought to
get in twenty-four hours with the
wind blowing at fifty miles an
hour from the northwest. From
there we went to the depot where
we found Agent Limpus busy with
Ins everv day employment. After
the above visit we started for the
outh side, just missing a light
extra composed .of a man pushing a
cart loaded with coal. We landed
safely at A. A. Leister's black
smith and wagon shop where we
found him mid his brother Will
both so busy that they could not
stop even to talk. Then we drifted
into G. W. Brown's department
store where he seemed quite busy
attending to the wants of cus
tomers. Feeling at this time some
what weary and hungry we stepped
into C. E. McClain's boarding house
where we filled up lor 25 centH, after
which we quietly departed from
the town.
