Preston Bryan, a man past forty years of age, was found dead in his room at the Scott boarding house in the rear of the McDonell & Graves drug storo Wednesday morning about 4:30, the victim of suffocation-from smoke from a fire resulting from an overturned lamp. Bryan came here from Colorado several weeks ago, accepted employ ment with the Union Pacific and en gaged board and room with the Scotts. Sunday ho was taken sick and remain ed in his room. Tuesday night about eleven o'clock Mr. Scott went to the room and administered medicine, leav ing a lighted lamp on the stand near the bed. About 4:30 the following morning Mr. Scott detected a strong odor of smoke. Investigation proved that it came from Bryan's room, and opening the door found the carpet and bed clothing smoldering with fire, with the table overturned, the broken lamn on the floor and Bryan lying on the bed with his feet resting on the floor. The supposition is that in his sleen he had struck the small table with his arm, and that practically over come with smoke and gas ho had awakened and attempted to get out of bed. Ho was not burned, but blackened with the soot and smoke. Later the bodv was turned over to the coroner. The fire in the room was extinguish ed after it had burned and charred the contents. An inquest was held Wednesday and a verdict of accidental death rendered A brother of the deceased arrived from Lamoni. Iowa, Wednesday night, also a brother-in-law from Sterling, CoJ.

A Little History. Editor Tribune: In reading your an nouncement that the splendid school building on tho North Side is almost fit for occupancy, one wonders what . tho , citizens who served on the school Loanl in early days would think were they permitted to return to earth and view tho school building's of the present day..' They always underestimated the re quirements of an increasing population, and built school houses too small. '.They never dreamt of the expansion of North Platte or that the sloughs on the North Sido would bo dried up, and the district traversed by good streits lined with substantial residences; and .little wonder, for previous to the eightys. the Third ward wa3 bleak and marshy, and residences few nnd scattered. By 1877, however, quite a colony had located . on the North Sido, and the residents peti tionou me noaru or education ror a school building in their district "so that children would be freed from tho danger of crossing the track on their way to the brick school". Tho board, being sadly embarrassed by lack of funds, tho petition was "laid on the table," but tho North- Sidors were not to bo putoiF, and on April "i'st, 1878, another petition, signed by forty three residents was presented asking tho board to consider their request, and the into talented. Anthony Hies moved that a' school be built large enough to accommodate seventy.fivo children, This, ho thought would sorvo for many years. This was done, and Miss R. C. Cnsey appointed teacher, At the time, there were 437 children attending school in District No 1. Before, tho closo of 1880, tho one school room became inadequate, and an addition to tho building was asked for coupled with a request for two more teachers, "to make school cfll cent." Tho board succeeded in haV' ing an addition built, and on September 7th, 1881, it was approvod, and to quoto from tho records, "Miss Casey gets sixty dollars per, month, but as there is another room added, over which she has chargV, eho was allowed ton dollars extVa," Giles's uho earhed it. Such is a mere outline of the de velopment of educational facilities on the North Sido. The now school build ing in tho ' 2nd, nnd tho ono in tho 3d ward, are jcertainly largo and com modious, but will thoy suffice? "He who lives"longest, sees most." . ,r , Very Truly Yours, . j . "A. R. Adamson The PianojContest. . , ' The judges' 1W" tho Glnny -White' & Schatz piano contest completed . their work Tuesday afternoon. About nine hundred cards wore sent in, and tho number of times tho sentence "Ginn, Whito.&'Scliatz Sell Reliable Pianos" was written on the cards run from six teen to over twelve hundred. Quito a number of the cards containing tho highest number- of sentences were tnrown out on account of illegibility of the writing and failure to comply with the rules of the-contest, The judges made the award to Miss Nancy Johnson, a sister of Mrs. W. A. Howard, tho piano tuner, she having written tho sentence tho greater num ber of times in n legiblo. manner and in nccordnnce' with' the rules "of tho con tent. .Later itdovelopod that-MIss-John-srrti; as an individual,' could "not ontor the cjmtost;pn tfrpgroundof; nrt Ueing" a' permanent resident, and that' she was connected with afamily-thut sold "pianos( these condUions being contrary to the rules.' Miss Johnson "was tlioro forn dropped, ami tjhc piano awarded tr Sister Rosalie, of St. Patrick's school, who had tho next highest number of correctly written nontences.

Hoagland as her at torney and a legal action will probably result. Mining Property Looks Good.
