Arriht of h Sust I!y the Sheriff of Nt-
m:ilin County.
From Thursday's I;illy.
SlicrilT Hollow ay received a tele
gram frowi the slk-ri II" :it Auburn last
evening stating that he had under ar-re-a
at that p!at-e a man who had
roods in his possession which
answered the description of those
taUcn from the general merchandise
store of C. (J. P.uckwell at Alvo last
Friday niht. The Nemaha sheritF
ha.l no description of the thief, but
will hoid this man until an investiga
tion is made. County Attorney C. S.
Polk went to Alvo today to see if ho
could secure any evidence leading to
the detection of the party who com
mitted the r. h.rry. Jt is possible that
someone saw the thief the day pre
vious to the robbery and would be
able to identify him. The sheriff is
serving papers in the southern part of
the county today, and will zo to Au
burn tomorrow after the man.
The sheriff is rrc;itly handicapped
ia rapturing thieves trom the fact that
where robberies occur in the small
town out in the county they neglect
to promptly send in a description of
the stolon property, or of the thieves,
if any is had. The lirst intimation
thehei-iiT had of the Alvo robnery
w:l-i ML hen ho sav an account of it in
Wednesday morning's paper. A thief
would have ample time to reacn
Canada in that time, if ho so desired
W rat her Keport.
The temperature of the past week
has been slightly below the normal in
the western portion of the state and a
little above the normal in the eastern
The wcok was generally dry until
the last two or three davs, when
copious rains were general in all parts
of the state excepting the extreme
northeastern and southwestern pot
tions. Over most of the southern part
of the state from two to three inches
fell. The dry weather early in the
week was very favorable in the pro
gress of the corn planting, and most
of the eron is now in the cround.
Some of the early planted is six inches
rutin and much ol it has been worked.
Sinall er.-tiri. althoUL'h it has suf
fered somewhat from drv weather in
the western portion of the state, has
generally attained ranK pro win anu in
some cases has bCiTun to lodge slightly;
some rye is reported six feet tall, ltyo
is generally in nlossom and wheat is
hei'iiinini to blossom. Considerable
da ma ire is reported in some localities
from cut worms and in the extreme
southeastern corner of the state from
the army worm .

The board of county commissioners
have called a special election for July
7 to vote bonds in Eight MtV- Grove
precinct for the purpose of erecting a
bridge across the Plutto river at Cedar
Creek.
lo a man tin a tree tms iooks
like a bad move and will even
bo an injury to the little town
of Cedar Creek. It is not at
all probable that Sarpy county farm
ers would cross the river to get to
trade at Cedar Creek, when by driving
a little farther they could go to &ouin
Omaha and Omaha. It is more prob
uhle th.it. the farmers on this side of the
1 'lalte will pass right through Cedar
Ci eek and go to South Omaha to trade.
There ic no ilniKit hut that a man can
ret iust as e-ood bargains of the Platts-
inouth and possibly the Cedar Creek
merchants as those of South Omaha,
but the name cuts a large figure and
it is difficult to make them believe
