TWENTY SECQND YEAR
Identified the Pueblo Suspect
J W Hupp received a photograph of
the man held in Pueblo Colorado sus
pected as being one of the robbers of the
State Bank of Lebanon Monday morn
ing and the sairie day went down to Ox
ford whore ho exhibited the same
which was identified by a number of
people as a man who had been seen
loafing about that town about the time
or just before the robbery of Mr
Hupps bank at Lebanon The sus
pects picture is that of a hard looking
desperate man There seems to bo good
ground for believing that the authorities
have in custody one of the robbers
The Oxford identification is additional
proof of the claim not long since made
by The Tribune that Oxford is the re
sort of more notorious scamps than any
other town in Southwestern Nebraska
It is the theory of some that organized
gangs operate from that burg and per
haps some of the quite numerous rob
beries occurring over this section of Ne
braska can be traced to that place if
thoroughly investigated by experts
Compliment to a McCook Girl
The Sunday August 23rd issue of the
Boston Daily Herald contains a full
illustrated page devoted to half tones
and letter press matter illustrating and
describing Types of Girls in Summer
School at Harvard Among those
selected from the hundreds attending
the school is Miss Ethel Barnott of our
city who is giyen the place of promin
ence on the page occupying very largo
space in the center of the page In ad
dition to the large half tone the Herald
has the following to say concerning
Miss Ethel who is a student at the
New England School of Oratory in Bos
ton but has been attending the Har
vard summer school during vacation
A Nebraska girl Miss Ethel Bar
nett was the acknowledge beauty of
the gymnasium as well as one of the
cleverest and most indefatigable work
ers Miss Barnett is an Emerson col
lege girl and sees her distant home
only at long intervals
In Favor of the High School
The shop boys and High School teams
met on the athletic diamond Labor Day
afternoon in battle array The result
was a victory for the High School club
score 14 to 9
Traver and Burnett and Smith and
Powers were the batteries for the teams
with Chlanda as referee and between
chews and whittles Willie occasionally
was inspired by suggestions from the
grand stand and got into the game with
fairly satisfactory results
The scholars had the game fairly well
in hand from start to finish and the
shop boys admirers waited in vain for
the balloon to go up it refused to as
cend high enough
The game was the sole diversion of
Labor Day but the attendance was
small but enthusiastic withal
Samples of Some Fine Corn
Mrs E R Banks and Mrs M G
Stephenson visited at the farm of the
formers brother Nick L Lee eleven
miles north of Indianola Sunday and
brought home with them to McCook
samples of the corn growing on the
farm as a memento of the trip Mr
Lee has 110 acres of the corn and from
the splendid samples exhibited at this
office it is fair to estimate he will gar
ner between 3000 and 4000 bushels of
corn from his place this year The
oars are fairly large and well filled and
some of the corn is already out of the
reach of frost
Inhaled Something Poisonous
A son of Lafe Miller of the Willow
was taken very ill last Saturday while
pitching wheat straw to a threshing
machine and medical assistance was
hurriedly secured from this city The
theory is so far as we are able to get
knowledge of the case that the young
man inhaled something of a poisonous
nature while at work as above indicated
It is stated that the young man was in
the habit of working and breathing with
his mouth open

Lost Her Right Thumb Nail
Miss Mabel Wilcox had tho nail of1
her right thumb bitten off Sunday
afternoon wnile feeding a norse somej
grass She with tho other members ofV
tho family had drivon out to tho farmi
of Captain I H Wasson ile the
men were a short distance aw jrom the
carriage Miss Mabel essayed the role of
Good Samaritan to the poor livery
horse to whom she thought green grass
would be a great boon While feeding
the animal her thumb was taken into
the horses mouth The nail was
quickly chewed off and the end of the
thumb painfully mashed and lacerated
Indeed it was with some difficulty that
the thumb was released from the ani
mals mouth although the horse is in
no sense savage or unruly Professional
skill was summoned as quickly as possi
ble and the injured member dressed
Unless blood poisoning intervenes the
thumb will bo rapidly repaired Not
withstanding tho thumb pains quite
severely at times Miss Mabel assumed
her position as teacher in the primary
department of the East Ward public
school on Monday morning The ex
perience was one she will never wish to
have repeated

Struck by Lightning and Burned
During the rainstorm earlv Wednes
day morning the Hamilton building in
which J G Stokes grocery store is
located was struck by lightning and
the building and contents practically de
stroyed When thefire department ar
rived at the fire at about half past one
oclock the work of destruction was too
far advanced to more than confine the
fire to the building so nothing could be
removed from the building A strong
water pressure was available however
and the boys quickly had the fire under
control
The grocery stock is insured for 81350
and it is thought this amount will cover
Mr Stokes loss The building is ownJ
ed by J M Hamilton of Pass Christian
Miss who carried no insurance His
loss will be about 50000
The building is one of the oldest in
the city having been built in the sum
mer of 1882 and it will not likely be re
built being within the fire limits now
Mr Stokes was absent at Lincoln
during the state fair and did not know
of his misfortune until Wednesday af
