on That Date.
Next Thanksgiving day the local
football team will play a game at the
Chicago Avenue park which will be
well worth seeing. The game w'll be
with the Dundee team, a strong ag
gregation from Omaha. The boys
are in good form and should have
K:tle trouble in winning although
the Dundee boys are full of hgh: s
tne boys are a little behind tiuaacial
Iv on the season and owe a few bills
around it is to be hoped that tne
I ublic will give them liberal patron
age. They will endeavor :- fell
enough tickets to make tln.mseives
square at least.
As an i.istance that the locals have
been playing good ball, the following
shows the way their game with the
Omaha high school shows up as com
pared with the other teams which
have played there. The locals were
defeated by Omaha 2 4 to 0. while
Nebraska City was beaten 4S to 0.
and South Omaha S." to 0. while Ash
Ian i was drubbed to the tune of Ul
to 0. All this shows that our boys
are playing good ball and anyone who
likes the game can be assured that
a good one will take place on Thanks
giving. Turn out and help the boys
. out.

receipt of information from his wife
who is in Omaha at the bedside of his
daughter. Mrs. Dr. Roy Dodge, that
Mrs. Dodge was not so well. This
news will be received with deep re

Dodge as well as those of Mr. antl
Mrs. Ruffner. It is to be hoped that
there will be a change for the better
very soon and that the lady will
speedily recover from her illness. At
present her condition is very serious,
so much so that a great deal of alarm
is felt.

Married in Omaha.
Krein Friday's Tliiily
Today's Omaha papers contains the
interesting information that a mar
riage license was issued at that city
to Albert Funk, aged 22, and Lydia
Perry, aged 21. both of this city.
While no notice of their marriage
appears, it is presumed the knot was
tied.
Both parties are quite well known
in this city and have many friends
who hasten to extend their best wish
es for a long and happy married life.
Mr. Funk is known as a hard working
young man and one who will doubt
less make an ideal husband. Miss
Perry is a daughter of E. B. Perry, a
handsome and accomplished young
woman, with a host of friends who
know that Mr. Funk made no mistake
in the selection of a bride.

From Friday's l;iily -
Yesterday .morning Burlington
train No. L!i, tin' local between here
and Lincoln, had a costly wreck a
few mils west of Oreapolis. The
train, which was in charge of Con
ductor Cooper, with Kiigineor Henry
at the throttle, pulled out of Orea
polis with two steel gondola cars in
front of the engine, the intention
being to shove these two cars into
the quarries at Cedar Creek. A short
distance west of Oreapolis and this
side of Cullom, a Creek section gang
was at work and they inadvertently
left their hand car standing upon
the track. The train had picked up
a g( od headway when the car
loomed up mi the track in front of
the train. It was at a point win re
the track runs alongside the I'lat'e
river. The- train hit the hand car
with ilisasi : oit:: results to t!ie tvvc

the wreck.
If is said some of the iyns e: Th"
engine had visions of the end cf the
world when they saw the front end
of the j'irst gondola suddenly mount
info the air and then topple, into the
river . They also felt that tley had
had a narrow escape from following
the cars. Traffic v. a.-; rc su ;r,e-! v

will likely be recovered.
The wreck was caused by cnrless
ness apparently on the art of th-1 sec
tion crew in leaving their c-ir on
the track.
THE MURDERERS
OF C. A. RALSTON
Further Evidence that They Were
Tramp Burglars.
Additional evidence has been un
earthed near Weeping Water that the
men who murdered Charles A. Rals
ton were professional yeegmen, or
tramp burglars who are undoubtedly
wanted in many parts of the country,
and who committed the Stella rob
bery some days before they killed
Ralston. The day prior to the mur
der of Ralston the two men had been
seen in a ravine near the home of E.
E. Day, one-half mile west of town.
Last Saturday John Badgley, one of
the citizens who is still engaged in
trying to secure the murderers, made
a search of the ravine and unearthed
about a dozen skeleton watch cases,
the finding of which led him to notify
Thos. Schutz, the Stella jeweler,
whose store had been robbed. Schutz
came to Weeping Water the next day
and readily identified the property by
the numbers on the cases, as his. A
few days later F. Garrison made an
other search in the ravine and was re
warded by finding a small valise in
which was sixteen watches. $57.45 in
postage stamps of different denomina
tions, two bottles of nitro-glycerine
and some fuse. In another place a
gold watch was discovered.
Citizens recall seeing the valise
with one of the men while they were
about town the day before he murder.
From these discoveries the fact be
comes apparent that the men were
professionals and there is now a hope
that they may be located as capable
officers will take up the clues pre
sented by the finds.
So far there is nothing to report on
the case by the local authorities. They
re apparently in the dark on the sub
ject and there is virtually no hope of
their landing the crooks. Metropol
itan officers are expected, however,
to make the capture at some future
time as they now are in a position
to guess who the men are.

!'ro.cii Over l iltv Years Ago.
! I Tom l-'rtil.iv' I utly
' ;rr good ivi, .(j .'..nator S. I...
Thomas this morning reminded us
that lii'ty years ago today the Mis
souri river was frozen over from
shore to shore and the town was alive
with teams from the Iowa side
which had crossed over on the ice.
The surrounding country was then
full of gime and on this day fifty
years tigo a hunting party brought
in a great load of prairie chickens
which they had trapped, that pastime
not being forbidden by law as at
present. They also had more ducks
and geese than could be ate. The
senator states that a month later the
river broke up and closed no more
that winter, a remarkable freak of
the weather.

dis-
" to
cer
upo.i the r.r. p.. sal to
uas for lighting the residence
trits but when the people com
realize that they only have u
tain amount to spend upon light,
they must do with the best they can
get for the money, this opposition
will probably disappear. As a mat
ter of fact, disinterested observers
agree that the gas lamp is really bet
ter than incandescent lights. If the
city was in a position to afford arc
lights there is no question "but what
this would be the general choice of
the people despite the fact tliey do
not light the walks in the wooded
portion of the city.
The proposal of the company tc
furnish arc lights in the business
district and an adequate gas light
service in the residence portions
backed by a good bond for the
faithful performance of their con
tract makes a happy combination,
and is probabljr the best solution of
the question.
Several members of the council
who had been disposed to look
askance at the local company's prop
osition now state that they feel it
is very fair and it is likely that the
longer it is studied, the better it will
appear. In any event public opin
ion seems to be largely against the
Bortenlanger proposition as his ac
tion in the ice cpntract matter has
placed him beyond the pale of their
confidence. The city has virtually
no safeguards in that contract and
Bortenlarger does not seem to be the
man to enter the field. The experi

In County Court.
In county court yesterday William
II. Johnson of Scotts Bluffs county
filed an appeal bond appealing from
an order of the court admitting the
will of his deceased brother, Samuel
S. Johnson, to probate. This carries
the contest to the district court.
This is the case where undue influ
ence was charged against Edwin
Jeary, the chief beneficiary of the
will, by the brother which charges
Judge Beeson held not sustained.
Judge Beeson also admitted to pro
bate the last will and testament of
Lydia Todd, widow of the late L. G.
Todd. Levi G. Todd is named as ex
ecutor and the will provides for the
education of her grandsons who are
named in the will. The estate is made
a trust fund for this purpose and
the neglect of any of the children to
complete the education outlined by
the trustee, cuts them out of their
out of their share in the estate which
share goes to the common fund for
the education of the remainder of
the children.

of the eleventh birthday of Helen,
the daughter of .Mr. and .Mrs. Had- ;
raba. For the occasion the house
had been finely decorated with a pro j
fusion of autumn leaves and various j
flowers and the combinations made
the rooms veritable bovers. There 1
was some eighteen of the young la- :
dies' friends present and everyone !
had an enjoyable time. There were :
games of various kinds to while away i
the hours and Mrs. Iladraba had pre- !
pared a four course luncheon which '
was a gem and which was highly en- j
joyed by all present. Misses Margu-
erite Porter and Blanche Iladraba !
assisted in serving the luncheon.
There were many presents tender
ed the young lady which were both
handsome and costly, all of which
she could not but feel proud of.
At the close of the party. the ;
guests extended to her their con-

Death of Chris I'ctervf-n.
From Friday's Dully
Mrs. J. C. Petersen yesterday re
ceived a message from her husband
stating that his brother. Chris, died
at Tilden, Neb., that morning. No
further particulars were given save
that the funeral would be held Sun
day and that the- brothers would re
turn Monday. This is very sad news
for Mr. Petersen's many friends who
had hoped that he might take a turn
for the better. A further statement
of Mr. Petersen's life will occur in
these columns later.
Congressman Bede has been known
as the "Humorist of the House," and
his wit and eloquence lends fascina
