A Word From California.
George Hanlein , who is now located
in Bryu Mawr , Calif. , where he recently
moved from Washington , writes us that
he is now holding a position under Dr.
M. N. Eskey , formerly of Bartley , who
is now manager of a company of physi
cians , who have opened a large sanitar
ium and health-resort at Bryn Mawr ,
which is in the orange-growing region
- and about 65 miles east of Los Angeles.
He says the locality as to scenery etc.
is lovely , but the heat , even at this time
of year , is well nigh unendurable. The
fruit , all of which is grown by irrigation ,
is a pleasing sight to see , and the pick
ing of my first orange from the tree was
an unusually delightful experience. He
adds that while waiting for a train in
Los Angeles , some time since , he met
Mr. Hocknell of McCook , with whom he
had a brief talk. Mr. Hocknell's orange
grove , or one of them , is near Bryu
Mawr. He says that the folks were in
good health when he left Washington ,
the close of September , and at that time
the long winter rains had set in ; closing
with kindliest regards to former friends
and acquaintances.
Two Devastations.
This section of Nebraska has been de
vastated by city hunters , past two weeks ,
and birds killed by the wholesale. Last
week , the invasion was from Omaha , and
this week from Denver. Both were
numerous parties ; they were all well
equipped for a wholesale slaughter of the
innocent little quails and prairie chick
ens , and they'went away with well-filled
bags of game. Next summer , when the
grasshoppers and chintz-bugs are de
vouring the farmers' crops , without the
interference of the two or three thousand
birds slaughtered by these municipal
hunters , the farmer of this section should
send in their bill for damages to the
gentlemen composing the two parties
and others. The loss will doubtless be
made good by them wi h pleasure.
Cole's Hot Blast.
We are enjoying a great run on Cole's
Hot Blast heaters. They give complete

A Burlington man has a few prosperity
figures to offer. Nearly a year ago a
new scale of pay for switchmen was
made effective. Before it went into ef
fect day switchmen , who worked thirty-
one days in the month received $65 57
for their labor. Now they receive $80.48.
Under the old scale night switchmen re
ceived $71.54 , while they now receive
$86.44. Dav foremen received $77 50 ,
but they now get $89 42 , while night
foremen received under the old scale
$83.46. They now receive $95.38. The
aggregate amount paid out to laborers
in the Lincoln yards this month will
greatly exceed the amount paid out one
year ago. Nebraska State Journal.

The Election In JlcCook.
There was a deep and keen thougl
quiet interest in the national , state urn
congressional elections in McCook , am
a full vote was cast , considering the fact
that so many of our voters must o
necessity be out on the road on that im
portant day , as upon all other days. All
day long and tate into the night , the in
terest continued unabated , and when
the returns , even at an early hour , indi
cated the expected re-election of Presi
dent McKinle } ' , the enthusiasm was
something McCookesque. This enthus
iasm and interest was Inter increased and
heightened by the indications that Ne
braska would come into the McKinley
column , that the Republicans might elect
the state and legislative tickets as well.
The only item of discouragement were
the returns from the Fifth district , as
the people of McCook were naturally
very deeply touched by the candidacy of
W. S. Morluu for congressman from the
Fifth district While McCook and Red
Willow county stood by him nobly , he
was unable to overcome the large plural
ities of the Fusion counties , and the de
flections of a few Republican counties ,
and suffered defeat by the small plurality
of 424 as developed from reliable , though
not official , returns. THE TKinuNE is
"orced to admit that this is a keen disap-
Dointment to most of the people of Mc
Cook , and we have no doubt that this
sentiment is largely felt all over the dis
trict , who had reasonable hopes that the
listrict would be redeemed and safely
placed in the Republican column , this
fall.

The stalwart type of McCook Republi
canism is told in unmistakable figures in
he abstract of the official returns to be
bund elsewhere in this issue.
In the Fifth District.
After one of the strongest fights ever
jut up in the "Big Fifth" district against
i large Fusion plurality , Webster S.
VIorlan , the Republican nominee of our
city , was defeated by about four hun
dred votes , as the following table dis
closes. While the results given are not
official , they are practically so , and may
je relied upon. Not being able at this
time to secure the totals for each candi
date , we give the pluralities received by
each in the several counties carried by
them :

Carroll Went Gunning.
Wednesday afternoon , Joseph S. Mc-
Brayer was shot in the head by Emmet
Carroll , ( husband of the woman whom
it is alleged by the Carrolls that Mc-
Brayer had upon a number of occasions
assaulted , ) and quite severely injured ,
the bullet lodging just under the skull ,
from which it was later in the evening
removed by the surgeons. Carroll has
not been apprehended , although a search
was subsequently made for him. A war
rant is now in the hands of the sheriff ,
and it is hoped in time to secure him.
Carroll has been absent in Wyoming
for some time railroading , and returned
home to vote. Upon his arrival home ,
the story of the alleged assaults was re
lated to him , and ou Tuesday evening
he went to the hardware store of H. P.
Waite and purchased a revolver with
which he proposed to avenge the alleged
crime against his home. Meeting Mr.
McBrayer just outside of his office at the
livery barn , early in the afternoon , he
fired twice at him , one of the shots
taking effect in the head as above stated.
After the shooting he escaped and is still
at large.
When Carroll commenced shooting ,
McBrayer was unarmed and retreated
into his office after his revolver. Hear
ing the shooting , Joseph Spotts , who
was in the immediate neighborhood ,
started into the barn , and McBrayer ,
mistaking him for Carroll , shot at him
twice , narrowly missing Spotts , who has \
not yet fully recovered from the fright
he received.
The bullet was removed from Mr. Mc-
Brayer'a head , Wednesday night , and he
is getting along favorably.
As to the merits of the case , THE
TRIBUNE will await their development
in a proper tribunal.
LATER.
Developments , this morning , show
that Carroll took to the country at once ,
Koing north-west. Up in Coleman pre
cinct , he appeared at the farm of R. J.
rraphagen , toward dusk , and borrowed
a horse , by stating that he was looking
for some straying horses or cattle of
Wilcox & Flitcraft's. He has not been
seen since , and Mr. Traphagen will be
grateful for any information concerning
his horse. The play seemed to be here
in the city to put the police on the wrong
track and to detain them as long as pos
sible at different places in the city , in
Drder to let Carroll get away. At any
rate , that has been the result.
