Judging from the number in the court
tMt gathered to listen to the testimony
BroagK out against the car thieves, a
rtraoger might think all the people in
North Platte were idle. He would be
mistake they were not all there.
A disagreeable cold wave struck us on
Wsitcdsy continuing all the following
day. The wind" was from the east and
aslsnssL damn and raw. What made it
worse, THz didn't run up his cold wave
flag, sad we had to take it raw without
waraiag. If Fitz serves us that way any
more we shall consider it our privilege to
kick.
James McMichael evidently believes
in the old saying: "build your cage then

are in order.
Mrs. 3Iathews will build a house in
Peniston's addition as soon as the weather

nn heinp made in Miller's addition . In
the B. & M. yards are located in that part
of town there will be a "rise" in real es

That part of the country has a number of
canyons in which the grass is already

The Apollo Club made a chauge in
their music on Friday evening of last
week, using only three pieces, Pro . Klein
pianoist, Chas. Monagan violinist and
Chas. Martin cornet. It is needless to
say the music rendered was simply im
mense, as the above gentlemen are
certainly artists in their line.
The Geo. R. Hammond Hose Com
pany received their parade uniforms
Saturday. The shirts are gray with blue
front and initials in dark brbwn. The
caps are of fatigue style and the belts are
neat, the whole costume forming a hand
some make-up . On next Tuesday the
boys headed by the cornet band will go
out on parade.
The Ogallala Charitable Association
presented "Mabel Heath" to a very slim
audience Saturday evening, although the
acting merited a'full house. The com
pany secured a date just ahead of several
ether attractions and our neonle showed
an inclination to patronize the traveling
troupe in preference to home talent "We
understand the Ogallala people came out
about fifty dollals behind, a result we re
gret to chronicle.
Asa T. Marcellus was arrested last
week by Sheriff Baker near Somerset on
charge of horse stealing. Marcellus is a
young man who has worked for Murphy
several years but of late has been stop
ing in the vicinity of this city, mostly at
Miller's rasch. When Evans and Waldo
purchased Miller's horses, among them
was one that Marcellus had owned but
which he did not claim, although present
at the time of the transfer. This horse he
took and was proceeding to Kansas when
arrested. At the preliminary examination
Wednesday Marcellus was discharged.
Evans and Waldo claim the horse, and the
matter of ownership is still to be settled.
''Rene" was presented at the opera
house Tuesday evening to a large
audience and the play was enthusiastically
received. Wm. Redmund as Rene de
Pardillan is strong and effective in his
acting, taking his part with spirit and
devotion, the duel between him and
Hector de Satigney exhibit great skill and
experience. 5lrs. Barry as Jeanne is a
careful actress and interpreted her part
to the perfect satisfaction, as did her
daughter Farm' Barry Sprague in the role
of Qabrielle, Rene's sweetheart The cos
tumes worn by the ladies were superb
and the scenery carried by the 'company
added much to the effect. The stars had
excellent support, the company being
good throughout
Tuesday evening next is the date for
the home minstrel show, and we hope to
see the opera house well filled. During
the past week several new "attractions"
have been secured thus strengthening the
company. The list is now complete and
a satisfactory entertainment will be the
result The first part of the show will
consist of choruses, quartettes and solos ;
clog dancing, farces and specialties will
form the second part "Come where my
leve lies dreaming" will be rendered as an
instrumental quartette, while those artists,
Klein, Monagan and Martin will play
some of their best selections. The list of
burnt cork artists are as follows : Bixler,
Upright, Flynn, M. Murray, Simon, Conk
lin, Wyman, Bare, Langley, Warner,
Clark, Williams, Clinton, and Poole.
The Nebraska Pacific railway recent
ly organized in this state has been taken
possession of by the Missouri Pacific, and
it is said the line will be pushed vigorous
ly the coining summer from Hastings to
the Wyoming coal fields. This line will
undoubtedly strike North Platte. That
there will be railroad buildimrin this
vicinity this season is strengthened by
the actions of contractors. A few weeks
ago -a contractor was sending a lot of
avmles down into the corn districts to
-waiter. At North Platte they were
stopped, and are now being fed at the
Leag ranch on the North side, the remark
being made that there was no use driving
them east when the' would be wanted
here in the spring Indications point to
early work on the 3Iissouri Pacific and
also on the B. & M. Branch from Somer
set to this city. In case the Union
Pacific gets the necessary relief asked for
at the hands of Congress, the branch up
North Platte river will be commenced
and pushed with all energy into the great
coal and cattle fields of Wyoming. This
seems necessary in order to cover the
territory naturally tributary to this great
line, and which is being permented by
other roads. The Missouri Pacific and
tke B. & M. are two gigantic competitors
of the Union Pacific, and our men of
meaM should be alive to the interests of
tke citor, leaving no stone unturned that
will offer an inducement to secure their
speedy construction to this point.

The young people had a very pleasant
nartv at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W,
M. Hinman about a mile west of the city
on last Friday evening. In spite of the
1 a m .
unpieasani weatner, aoout a dozen coupie
were there. Games and dancinc were
kept up until a late hour, when all return
ed to their homes feelintr that the' affair
had been one of the most pleasant of their
lives.
At the meeting of S. A. Douglas Post
baturday evening, Vice Commander J. D.
Jackson was advanced to the position of
Commander, Geo. T. Snelling, the com
mander elect having failed to qualify.
Junior Vice Pat Walsh, was promoted to
the position of Vice Commander. Since
the commencement of the new year more
interest than usual is manifested in the
meetings of the Post.
It makes us smile in a broad and

The Tribune should be a weekly visitor

county. It is good medicine, warranted

That's why so few doctors advertise in it;
they fear it is running opposition to their
healing art. After due deliberation we
have concluded to continue the $1 rate.

52 consecutive times for the small sum ot

The gang of car-robbers who have had
their headquarters in this city should be
prosecuted with the utmost vigor of the
law. It is discreditable to the town, and
North Platte cannot afford to harbor them
or condone their crimes. Owing to the
rules of practice devised by cunning
lawyers, there are many slips between the
discovery of crime and the consummation
of justice, and public prosecutors in
running the gauntlet of "rules" with their
prisoners very seldom reach the end
in safety. Much depends on commencing
right, with the intended course well
mapped out. The Tribune believes
that the lawyers engaged in the prosecu
tion of these cases will do their duty.
Talking about the most profitable
crop, a farmer said to a Tribune reporter
the other day that potatoes in his opinion
would pay more io the acre than any crop
that he knew of. He contended that they
were equally as safe as corn, for he said
that the same rain that makes corn will
make a fine yield of potatoes. The agri
cultural editor of this family journal
agrees with him, that they are the most
profitable, but they cannot stand a drouth
quite so well as corn. Sometimes three
weeks of dry, hot weather will kill the
tops and they cannot recover, whereas
corn will revive almost instantly. How
ever, the prevailing high price should
induce the planting of large quantities of
potatoes of the best varieties. The market
has never been overstocked here, besides
they will bear shipping if favorable rates
can be had from the railroad. Plant
largely of potatoes.
Death of Anthony Ries.
Anthony Ries, one of the oldest and best
known citizens of North Platte, met with
an accident Sunday evening that resulted
in his death Monday morning. He was
engaged in conversation with Joseph
Schatz relative to a local matter of con
siderable interest, when the question arose
as to the law upon the subject. To settle
the point Mr. Ries went upstairs vtq get,
the statutes. This was about 8 o'clock
Taking the book out of the case he started
to descend by the rear stairs. From in
dications it is believed he received a
slight stroke of paralysis while at the
book case, and -just as he was at tne nead
of the stairs received another blow that
prostrated him. He fell to the bottom
and was picked up in an insensible condi
tion. Dr. Dick was summoned, but all
efforts failed to restore him, and he died
as above stated about 4 o'clock the follow
ing morning. The funeral took place on
Wednesda' from the Lutheran Church,
the remains being followed to the grave
by the Masons, Knights of Honor, S.A.
Douglas FostG. A. K., and a large pro
cession of citizens, the Masons rendering
their burial service at the grave, and a
salute, the last honors to a soldier, was
fired by the Grand Army.
Anthony lues was born in the Uuchv of
Baden, Germany, the 10th of March, 1845,
consequently was nearly 43 years of age
. j. j tt: r :i
wnen ne aiea. xiis inuiiiy ctuuo w mis
country in leo2, the father having been
exiled for participating in the revolution
ary movement of 1848, and settled in Mil
waukee, where young Ries was raised.
At the age of twenty years he enlisted in
the 21st Wisconsin infantry in April 18G5,
and served until the end of the war. In
1868, Mr. Ries came to Nebraska and
soon after entered the service of .the
Union Pacific Railway, coming to this
city in 1872, where for a number of years
he was foreman in tne car depart
ment. His natural ability soon made him
occupy a leading place among local
politicians, and he was chosen to fill many
positions of honor and trust When
North Platte was organized as a city ho
was chosen its first mayor. In 1880 he
was chosen to represent this district in the
legislature and was shortly after elected
county treasurer of this county, which
position he resigned in 1883 to accept the
office of postmaster. As a politician, Mr.
Ries possessed executive ability and fore
sight far above the average. He could
see ahead and lay plans that were well
calculated to deceive and confuse the op
position. In a wider field, this talent
would have brought him into national
prominence.
Of Anthony Ries it may truly be said he
was a man of large soul and generous
heart Such a thing as enmity could not
find a resting place in his mind. Gener
ous to a fault, his sympathizing nature
felt keenly the sufferings or misfortunes
of others, and no one ever asked charity
of him and was refused if in his power
to bestow. He has passed over the dark
river into that land from whence no
traveler -returns, but he has left in this
world few enemies and many sincere,
mourning friends. May ho rest in peace.
A Gang of Car Thieves Broken Up.
For several months the officers of the
Union Pacific Railway have received com
plaints from points west of North Platte
that goods shipped over their line had
failed to arrive. They were soon con
vinced that a gang of thieves were mak
ing a regular business of robbing cars,
but just at what point they were operating
had to be determined. Investigation and
other "signs" soon made it manifest that
North Platte was the field of operations,
being a division station. Plans were then
laid to catch the thieves. Robert Douglas,
a detective of local reputation. was given
the job and he was not long in spotting
the leaders. The next thing was to pro
cure evidence. This having been accom
plished, it only remained to arrest the
gang.
Tuesday evening Chas. E. Brooks, a
man employed as switchman in the yard;
John Tilfofd, Jr., an ex-brakeman; Nich
Quirk, a fireman; E. W. Zebert, night
watchman, were arrested and placed in
jail, as principals. The next day, Mrs.
Chas. E. Brooks, John Tilford, Sr., and
Chas. "Brooks, Sr., were arrested, charged
with receiving stolen goods. Also Michael
O'Brien and. Jasper Van 3Ieter, the two
latter as witnesses, but they were subse
quently released. Chas. Brooks, Sr., was
also discharged, there being no evidence
against him.
On searching the house of young
Charley Brooks, as he is generally called,
a large amount of goods were found,
consisting principally of flour, rice, canned
goods, dried fruit, several hanging lamps
and fixtures, and a large quantity of
rio-arv At the residence of old man
Tilford, who lives eight or ten miles up
the river the ashes of a recent bonfire
were found, and a hanging lamp buried in
a aaoir at thfi hank of the river. In the
debris of the bonfire were found ashes of
fine dress goods, cigars and other evi
dences of what the nre naa consumeu.
At the preliminary examination of young
Charley Brooks Thursday afternoon, the
witness Van Meter testified that he and
Brooks entered a car on the night of Jan.
9.7th and took out four boxes of raisins.
two packages of rice, and a chest they
supposed to oe tea, uui it uhghu.uo
proved to contain tininese goou, uuwug
which was a bottle of Chinese whisky.
The whiskv thev retained, but the chest
with its other contents was returned to
the car. Brooks was held to answer at
the district court, bail being fixed at
45,000. . .
Yesterday the young Tinord s preumin
arv PT.iminatinn commenced, the forenoon
being consumed in taking the testimony
of Zeibert theyardmaster, who has been
allowed to give evidence for the state, and
the charge against him will probably be
"nollied." The evidence was similar to
that given by Van Meter. The defense is
makinir a stubborn finht the whole after
noon being consumed in the examination
of me-ower-witnesses.
The cases are prosecuted by County
Attorney Nesbitt for the State, assisted
by Messrs. Grimes, and Churcn s wixier.
The defendants have employed Beach I.
Hinman, Hoagland & Risse, and H. D.
Rhea.
Our City Legislators.
The city council held an interesting
meeting Monday evening and transacted
a fine lot of business. After the reading
and approval of the proceedings of pre
vious meetings,
John Hinman gave notice that the hose
houses were completed and ready for in
spection. He wanted them examined,
and if found according to contract accept
ed. The old committee Walsh, Roche
and Sorenson appointed for that pur
pose were instructed to examine the
houses and if found all right the clerk
was authorized to draw a warrant to pay
for the same according to contract.
Pat O'Hare presented a petition asking
permission to repair his building at the
corner of Chestnut and Sixth streets,
within the fire limit?. After careful cod-.
sideration of the subject, the petition was
referred back to Mr. O'Hare, with the
opinion that he apply to competent at
torneys for information as to what could
be douo under the ordinance.
City Treasurer Van Doran presented
his Quarterly report which showed a
much better condition of the treasury than
was expected. The balances in the
various funds were as follows: General
fund, $426.43; Poll fund, $17.63; Water
fund, $1,458.09.
A petition was presented signed by
nearly every tax-paver in the city request
ing the council to have the streets lighted
by electricity. Thereupon a discussion
arose as to how money could be raised to
pay for the same without increasing taxes.
Several schemes were broached among
them one levying an occupation tax met
with, considerable favor. In the absence
of money to pay for the lights, the peti
tion was laid oh the table to be called up
at any time.
The question ot extending tne city
tmits was tan brought up and discussed.
The proposition apparently meets with
general favor, as the city attorney was in
structed to take the preliminary step to
that end immediately. He was also in
structed to draw an ordinance levying an
occupation tax.
The question of readjusting the salaries
of city officers was then taken up and
talked over. The opinion was expressed
that the city treasurer's salary is too high
in fact a feeling appeared to prevail
that a salary for doing the work of that
office is entirely unnecessary. As an
outcome of the whole matter, the city
attorney was authorized to prepare a new
ordinance relative to salaries, leaving
blanks to be filled bv the council.
The matter of a telephone or fire alarm
from some central point to the water
works engine house was discussed and a
committee was appointed to investigate
the subject and report.
Then the council adjourned.

Klenk & Gatword have cured onwards nf

criminal, still they realize that the charge is
serious and that it is gross neeliaence atlenaf
give ground for such a charge. They regret it all
the more because of the high position he has oc
cupied. U. S. Dist, Atty.Pritchett cameup from
Omaha and on Tuesday Mr. Ferguson gave bail
before Commissioner Peniston for $1,500 to ap
pear before the U. 8. Court at Omaha in May
