An incident ocourred last week that
will mar the escutcheon of a youncr man
whose uame we did not learn and lessen
the confidence of at least one man in hu
man nature. The circumstances as we
learn them aire as follows: D. B. Dyer,
of Ogallala, started six head of hor?es
east in charge of a j'oung man in whom
he had confidence. The young man got
as far as this place and putting five head of
them in Stoddard's stable he concluded to
"right about face." Remembering H. G's
advice he acted the part of "so west."
Mr. Dyer by some means learned of the
"slope" and watchful sentries of the law j
informed who halted and itook him into J
custody at Julesburg, also recovering the
horse. The voung man has excellent
chances for "going over the road."

petuate the memory of the dead soldier."
We did not use the definite article "the"
iu the sense as referring to the present
case; but it's the practice in general we
consider objectionable. As a rule, the
services are not to perpetuate the memo
ry. It is true that many pleasant things
mav be said of the deceased, and his vir
tues can be extoled, but the whole exer
cise partakes more of a "House of Sor
row" than that of eulogy and remem
brance. The relatives appear in deep
monrninsr. The chair of the deceased is
draped with the same emblem of sor
row; the room and the members also
The whole scene is solemn and silent as
the funeral obsequies. The speakers al
lude in words of tenderest eloquence to
the record and goodness of the deceased,
The tender, loving and affectionate feel
ings of the mourners are touched and the
scene is soon one of sorrow and weeping.
If this is not a repetition of the funeral,
an intensification of grief, a raking open
of love's dearest memories, what is it?
We believe in all honor and respect to the
dead, but we do not believe in three or
four funerals.

Engine 1019 from Denver was down on
the Division between here and Sterling.
John Brigham who used to fire between
here an Sidney is now running an engine
on the Division between Sidney and
Cheyenne .
On the 1st the 944, Engineer John
Struhorn. "climbed a frog" while taking
a side track on the branch. No damage
beyond loss of time.
The order reducing the days work from
ten to nine hours went into effect on
Tuesday the 3d. The boys have lots of
work to do so they are worked several
uights during the week.
Xmas, New Years and the cold snap
together gave several of the boys "holiday
fever" and new men on the road were at
a premium. Two wipers were elevated
to the position of firemen
Engineer W. T. Chadwick has been
assigned to pull the "Flyer' on the branch
between Denver and Julesburg. This
train is a flyer indeed, for it makes about
fifty miles an hour.
Charlie Hall has, during the rush, made
two very good records that, while not
remarkable for anything except "getting
over the road" are instauces that are not
often even in rushes. Last week he left
Sidney for Cheyenne and during the 24
hours doubled back to Sidney and out
again to Cheyenne. This week,- he ac
complished the three times over the Di
vision in 24 hours betweeen here and
Sidney.
On the 26th of December, as train No.
18, Conductor McKeonn, Engineer Wood
ward, was coming down from Sterling,
Colo., four miles west of Ihf a bunch of
cattle attempted to cross the track just
ahead of the engine. Tbe conseqnence
thev were struck and the enirine com
pletely turned over. Fortunately no loss
of life took place. Engineer Woodward
had his back hurt.
Another railroad to this section of the
country. The Missouri has filed articles
of incorporation and propose to build a
road from Crete the present terminis
to the northwestern part of the State,
through Filmore, Clay, Adams, Phelps,
Dawson, Lincoln and Keith, thence north
west throush Cheyenne, Dawes and Sioux
counties. Where their western terminus
will be is, to us, not known, but from
present indications it -seems they intend
at outlet into the mineral coal
and oil fields and the. stock country north-
By following up the proposed
west of us
ine they will open up an immense
country rich, m agricultural possibilities,
beside the country that is now a great and
growing greater producer. We are told
by an authority that we consider good.
that a3 soon as spring permits , work will
be pushed.
