From Friday's Dally. This morning at an early hour the residents of the countryside in the vicinity of the Missouri Pacific rail road viaduct near the farm of T. J. Will, were attracted by the fact that the wooden structure was ablaze and when first discovered had gained a great headway and so far progressed that all attempts to check it were without result. The viaduct is quite a long and high structure and constructed en tirely of wooden piers so that it made an easy prey to the flames as the north wind fanned them on to the destruction of the structure. The origin of the fire is unknown but mry have originated from sparks from the engine of tVe midnight pas senger train from Omaha which pass ed about an hour previous to the discovery of the fire and with the extreme dryness of the wcoden piers the starting of the fire would have been an easy matter. The spread of the flames was rapid and the force of the wind made the work of the nearby residents in at tempting to check the blaze fruit less, although a determined effort was made to get water onto the sec tions of the viaduct not ablaze. The fire will result in the main line between this city and Omaha be ing out or oorami isj-n for at least two days, before a temporary struc ture can be built to replace the burn ed viaduct.

Some of these are among the big gest corn growing counties in the state. "The filling of silos and the cut ting of corn for forage has started in the section named." said Anderson. "Much of the corn has been 'fired' from base to top." Rain which fell in the vicinity of Kearney this week greatly benefit ted the corn not yet ruined by the drought, Anderson said. CAUSES SOME STIR From Friday's Dally Out in the central part of the county last night there was more or less excitement created when a trav eling horse buyer with some sixteen head of the animals passed through that locality. The horse buyer was camped along the highway in the vi cinity of Manley and the animals roamed over the road and as the car driven by a young man named Ter ryberry came along, one of the nags ran into the road and as a result was struck by the car and had a leg broken. The animal continued to lie in the road and a second car con taining a man named Haynie and a companion, and this car struck the horse and broke another leg. The owner of the horse then appeared and made a gun play toward the car owners and threatened some trouble if the price of the horse was not forthcoming. Sheriff Quinton was called to the scene of action and poured oil on the troubled waters and all parties were made happy. ONLY OLD SOLDIER I. M.

RAID MADE ON MOIST SPOT IN VI CINITY QF MURRAY Walter Sans, Owner of Place Where Liquor is Found Draws Fine of S300 and Costs. From Friday's Daily Late last night a Braid was made by State Agent Grebe on the farm of Walter Sans eight miles south of this city and east of Murray,, and the owner of the farm, as the result, was fined SHOO and costs in the county court this morning for possession, selling and giving away liquor con trary to the peace and dignity of the state of Nebraska. The visit 'of the state agent was preceded by the visitation of a num ber of emissaries who looked over the sitnation and the large number of persons who were at the farm en joying a little of the refreshments in order to drive away the heat of the day and the sale of beer being on in full blast, the representative of the state law enforcement bureau made a hurried appearance and closed up the festivities and placed the owner of the property under arrest. This morning County Attorney A. G. Cole filed a very severe complaint -.gainst Mr. Sans, mucii more force ful than that which is usually hand ed the persons who deal with the forbidden liquor, and the complaint charged three violations of the prohi bition law, possession and selling and giving away the liquor contrary to the law of the state. The county attorney was more harsh in this case than usual, due to the complaints that have been made from the locality in which the defendant resides and the apparent open method of liquor sales that have :een going on. although this is the first time that direct evidence was obtained of the handling of the liquor sales. The defendant when appearing in the county court entered a plea of guilty to the charge and paid over the necessary funds to. settle the amount of the fine and costs. TAP GAS TEETER FOR RECEIPTS; $33 IS AMOUNT SHORT Some One Enters Cellar at Foster Grill and Makes Away With Contents of Gas Meter. From Friday's Dally. The pay gas meter located in the cellar at the Foster Grill was rob bed as far as can be learned some time between 8 a. m. and 11 p. m. Wednesday and the contents of the meter estimated at $33 made away with by the party or parties pulling off the stunt. It is stated that there was $1 de posited in the meter Wednesday morning by the members of the Fos ter family and this cared for the gas used in cooking up to Wednesday night when Clarence Foster made a trip to the cellar and deposited a quarter in the meter. Yesterday the representative of the Nebraska Gas & Electric Co. visited the premises in making the monthly collections and meter readings and discovered then that the small padlock that is used to hold the cash box of the me ter was broken off and that he con tents of the meter were apparently gone, there being the. only quarter that Clarence Foster had deposited in the till. This leads to the idea that the deed was pulled off some time after the money was placed in the meter Wednesday morning, the time of the last deposit. The cellar has a door at the rear that it is reported was left open of ten for the purpose of ventilation and also an entrance from the main floor of the restaurant where any one could get down the cellar un observed if they watched their op portunity. However, the person pull ing off the act was apparently aware of the fact of the existence of the money meter and its exact location. WELCOME CHANGE From Friday's Dallj. After a day that broke heat rec ords for the past four years, the mer curing hovering near the 104 mark, the cool night breeze last night brot an untold relief to the residents of this part of the city and freshened up the tired and heat-worn popula tion.

ENCAMPM'T Nebraska Expected to Send 1,100 to Des Moines Sept. 25-29 Single Fare for Round Trip. The office of Adjutant Bross of the G. A. K. in the state house is becoming a busy place in preparation for the forthcoming national encamp ment in Des Moines, September I'oth to 29th. A consignment of seven hundred railrcad identification certificates from national headquarters readied the office yesterday witli the assur ance that more would follow if need ed. These seven hundred will be distributed between the various de partments of the Grand Army and its allied organizations. It is not generally known that un der the one designation of Grand Army encampment there are really 6ix national conventions, all coming within the same railroad regulations and the hospitality of the entertain ing city. Following are the six organizations. Grand Army of the Republic; Wo men's Relief Corps. Ladies of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans. Sons of Vet erans Auxiliary and the Daughters of Veterans. These organizations have nearly reached a total member ship in Nebraska of nine thousand. Every member going is entitled to purchase not only for himself or her self at the one-fare rate, but tickets also for every dependent member of the family. It is easily seen there fore that 1,100 is not a large esti mate for the attendance from Ne braska. One-third of these will prob ably go by automobile and abundant provision will be made at Des Moines for the care of the cars. However, the special train leav ing Lincoln at 10:30 o'clock Monday morning. September 25, and Omaha at 12:30 o'clock the same day. af fords such convenient transportation that many who planned to use their own cars will go with the crowd on the train. The occasion appeals especially to all Iowa soldiers in Nebraska, an it affords a fine opportunity to meet old romrades and friends. The de partment commander, who is an ex Iowa soldier has made a strong ap peal to his Iowa comrades to join the delegation. As the limit of these tickets is Oc tober 31, and Des Moines is a great center of railroad and interurban traffic, those going will have excep tional facilities for reaching near-by resort points. Tickets will be on sale September 21 to 2 6. ENTERTAINS FOR GUEST From Thursday's Dally.
