Saturday morning the good people
of North Platte sho has but fow hope
lessly bad ones were surprised to learn
that the postoffice in this city had been
burglarized tho preceding night Some
$2,230 worth of stamps were taken and
something near S100 in money. Tho
thief, or thieves, effected an entrance by
cutting a panel out of the back doer
and then they began operations upon
tho safe. This was apparently a simple
job for them. A hole was drilled in near
the door handlo and the lock combina
tion quickly knocked off. The same
method was used that was employed in
opening Gertler's safe some time ago.
No clue was to be had of the perpetrator
other than the small foot-prints of a
single individual, but doubtless the fel
low bad a confederation watch.

would --com to precludo such an interest

Miss Alice Grace thon delivered the
recitation "Asleep at tho Switch" in a
manner highly appreciated by the audi

strains evolved from the intestihe's'6f tlio

sheep.
A splendid supper was served iu a por

thereof.
As a whole the entertainment was a
splendid success, surpassing tho expecta

as to tho meaning of the motto of the
