"Full Dinner Pail?"
Seventeen of tho genus hobo were
lined up before Judge Bullock Monday
afternoon and called upon to explain
why they were beating their way on
Burlington trains, living a life of easy
indolence such as is led by all the
"vagrant train," and in other ways
fracturing "Teddy's" doctrine of stren
uosity. Their plea that the "full din
ner pail" was but as an irredescent
dream to men looking for work was
without avail, and the judge reached
into his grab bag and brought forth a
sentence of five days at hard labor,
with which they were presented.

tiation is said ' to bo very impressive
and tho rules and by-laws particularly
rigid. For instance, if a member
marries she forfeits nil rights of mem

members arc to be taken into the or

membership and venture tho assertion
that another Easter will not find tho

Lakeside Depot Burns.
Train No. 46, going cast, is probably
responsible for the burning of the de
pot at Lakeside which occured Monday
night. The starting of the fire is at
tributed to a spark from the engine of
this train as the only plausible solu
tion of the origin of the fire. Agent
Harry Brown, his wife and two babies
were asleep in the building and did not
discover the blaze until it was too late
for them to do more than make their
escape. Owing to the fact that the
depot was a frame one and the con
tinued dry weather it did not take very
long for the fire to complete its work.
Of course, Lakeside will soon have a
new depot and as all the new frame
buildings of the Burlington are roofed
with fire proof roofing there will be
but little possibility of fire from sparks.

or Carelessness?
On last Tuesday night there was
quite a little excitement caused in rail
road circles as result of the officials
calling on the night marshal to hie him
self to the depot and prepare to take in
custody some parties who had attempt
ed to wreck a Burlington train between
Lakeside and Reno. It transpired on
the arrival of the "train wreckers" that
they were two youths named Weber
about sixteen and seyentecn years res
pectively, and the extent of their des
perate work was that they had left a
fish-plate, which they had been using
to drive some tacks into their shoes, on
the rail. The offense being committed
in Sheridan county the local authori
ties have no jurisdiction, and hence the
boys will be taken to Rushville to make
explanation.
