- The local melon crop is now
being freely marketed, and although
the drv weather has militated
against the size of the fruit, it has
all the other qualities and charac
teristics of the same, and is guaran
teed to give the greedy small boy
the same old-fashioned case of
cramps.
A "promoter" of an eastern
tobacco company yesterday dis
tributed free samples of the pro
duct of his factory, and of course
he enjoyed a large patronage. The
tobacco manufacturers' war is
largely benefitting the retailer, but
its advantages to the chewers are
not so apparent.
On account of so many of our
young people attending the State
fair and the unavoidable delay in
securing special music the "Corn
Festival" under the auspices of the
Ladies of the G. A. R., has been
postponed to Oct. 11. The pro
gramme promises to be unique and
well worthy the patronage of the
public.
John Lamaster is fully im
pressed with the belief that if some
inventive genius would put ball
bearings and pedals to the family
sewing machine, and other domestic
machinery, there would be no
trouble about the boys remaining
at home to operate them. He comes
to this conclusion from the disposi
tion of the juveniles to tall all over
each other in their anxiety to run
his lathe.
The North Platte tennis asso
ciation will hold a tournament next
Tuesday (Labor Day), morning and
afternoon. The championship
. games, singles and doubles, will "be
played. The members are very
desirous that the people -witness
these games, and a special invita-
' tidh is ex'tended the public to be
- present. The court is on West
Sixth street iust east ot the old
North Platte barracks.
As will be seen by the following
paragraph from the Lincoln Journal
''our deputy sheriff's story of how he
assistedVBjrThe capture of the train
robbers is like the story of the
Irishman who captured the bull by
allowing the animal to chase him
into the corrall: "Deputy Sheriff
Tim Keliher of Lincoln county
brought in Charles Nolan to the
-
penitentiary yesterday. Nolan was
sent up for three years for horse
stealing. Mr. Keliher is one of the
deputies who took part in the chase
otthe Gothenburg train robbers re
cently. It was his posse, in tact,
that drove the robbers into the
hands of the officers who fiqally
- captured them."

Company E, of the National
Guard of North Platte were in the
city this morning en route to Hast
ings where they go into camp.
They filled one passenger coach.

Rifles. G. I. Independent.
" Rev. S. B. Barnitz, D. D., of
Des Moines, Iowa, will occupy the
pulpit of the Lutheran church next
Sabbath morning and evening. He
will address the Sabbath school in
the afternoon. The Dr. is one ot
the best Sunday school workers in
the Lutheran church. All are in
vited to be present.
A regular patron of the Y. M.
C. A. library in this city says that
for months he has been endeavoring
to obtain possession of the book
"Trilby." owned by the association,
but the editor ot the Era has in
some manner managed to retain
this rich volume. Probably that
is the way in which the little
creature acquired the epithet
Trilbyune."
Work on the South Side irri
gation canal is progressing steadily
toward .completion, the greatest
amount of uncompleted' ditch being
south of town. Several of those
who have alread' done the greatest
amount of work have agreed to
do more. A temporary head-gate
will be put in the South Platte
river so that the winter and spring
waters of that stream may be made
available. This will prove the
most important irrigation entejr,
prise to North Platte that l3&
fceen undertaken.
One of those annoying little
blunders which will occasionally
creep into the most careful of news
papers occurred in our Tuesday's
issue, viz: the paragraph relative
to Sheriff Miller's future political
prospects. Instead of reading "J.
B. Tridle," the name of the pros
pective deputy mentioned, it should
have read, J. H. Seaton. However,
except to persons acquainted with
both gentlemen the strength of the
item was not impaired. It was
simply a case of misinformation as
to the identity of an individual.
John Keliher who has been
employed in Herrod's grocery store
or a long time lett Wednesday
morning for St. Louis, Mo., whither
he goes to take a position in Frank
Reardon's office, who is superin
tendent of motive power for the
Missouri Pacific R'y Co. Some
meago he had the tender of a
similar situation at Little Rock.
Ark., but concluded not to accept
it on account of the malaria lurking-
in that vicinity. By not doing so
he has probably secured a better
and more pleasant position, which
his many friends here hope he may
enjoy here for a long time.
Brigadier-General Hotchkiss of
the Knights of Pythias of Nebraska,
was in the city Saturday and com
pleted the arrangements for the
competitive drill to be held here in
October, at the time of the annual
session of the Grand Lodge. The
gentleman states that at the lowest
calculation there would be 30Q
members of the uniform" rank here
for the drill and he believed there
would be more. The rank in th
state has 800 members and figuring
for 300 would put it at nearly one
third of the members. There will
be four cash prizes and one metal
prize the latter to be given to the
best drilled individual Knight. G.

The Story of the Train Bobbery as told by the
Knudsea Brothers.
Since theiiTplea of conviction and
sentence the fellows have made a
confession of the facts substantially
as follows: They procured their-j
dynamite at Sioux City, Iowa, and
came to this part of Nebraska pur
posely to do the job. It was theif -intention
at the start to make the
hold-up on the Third district up
about Sidney, but. upon reaching
"Buttermilk Hill," and discovering
how near the track was to the
sand hills their plans were changed,
and they concluded that was a
good place to attempt to imitate
the great Missouri outlaw. Three
efforts were made to capture the
tram before one was successful.
The first night in attempting to
locate the express car they failed
to board the train; the second night
while-running across the ditch and
up the slight embankment of, the
track Hans fell down and filled his
pistol with sand so that it would
not work; and they concluded to not
make the attempt. The third night
there happened to be some emi
grants camped near where they
had their horses, and vhere they
wished to have the train stop.
After boarding the engine the
smaller one, Knude, held the engi
neer and" fireman under cover of his
artillery while the larger one stood
in the gangway, between engine
and lender, watching for. the spot
where they had their horses
hitched. Upon reaching this point
they compelled the enginemen to
get down on the right side of the
engine, followed by Knude, while
the larger jumped down on the
left side, ran around in front of
the locomotive, and as he passed
the head-light fired a couple of
shots into it. The method of their
obtaining access to the car and
their efforts to blow open the safe
has heretofore been correctly de
scribed, with the exception that
previous accounts have claimed
that they did not go into the car at
all after the explosion of the dyna
mite. Hans says this is not cor
rect; as he went into the car, but
having no light, the explosion hav
ing extinguished them, he- was
compelled to feel for the resul fc of
his shot with his hands. He
thought the jar had in some way
moved the safe, as he could not dis
cover by feeling over the top that
there were any effects, concluded
that if the three sticks of dynamite
was thus ineffective there was no
was no use in trying any more. It
was while he was in the car that
Duke made his escape with the en
gine. On discovering that the en
gine was leaving, Hans ran after
it for about fifty yards, but as the
sand was so deep he could not
catch it, although at one time he
was within three feet of the same.
He said that if he had been suc
cessful in his chase he would have
made Tom bring it back a great
deal quicker than they went away.
Now that the affair is off their
minds the boys enjoy telling how
they made the engine and train
men dance a la cowboy. After
mounting their horses and starting
it was buta short time until Knude,
the smaller one, mounted upon the
smaller horse, rode into a wire
fence, was thrown into the same
by the badly frightened animal,
(which then escaped), and was un
able to extricate himself. Hans
went to his assistance, and while
helping to free him his own horse
got away.
The horses, old wagon and har
ness the latter of which they ex
pected to leave behind were given
to T.; Fulton Gantt, their attorney,
for services rendered. Tim Keli
her has a handsome new revolver
which they authorized him to sell
for them and send the money
if
to
the warden of the penitentiar-.
nor for them. The new Winches-!
ter is in possession of a Brady Isl
and man. By a singular coinci
dent engineer Austin and fireman
Duke last night had charge of the
engine which bore the fellows
away on the road to the peniten
tiary in custody of Sheriff Miller,
D. W. Baker and Thos. Miller.

The North Platte and Wyoming-Bailroad up
A;hastily. improvised; meetin
was held Wednesday niht at the
Court house ior the purpose of tak
ing the initials'teps toward devising
ways and means for the building of
a railroad from this city up the
North Platte iver to Scott's Bluffs
county, and eventually through to
the cattle, cosd-and coal-oil fields of
Wyoming. Although no public
notice of the meeting by either
press or poster had beeu given, yet
it was fairlv well attended, and the
interest and enthusiasm manifested
was marked.
The assemblage organized by
electing Judge Wm. Neville, chair
man and Lester Eells secretar
The former then very forcibly, yet
briefly, logically illustrated the im
portance of the proposed enterprise
as. traversing- the greatest
area of
irrigated
agricultural
country
within the United States. He de
picted the importance to North
Platte of I not allowing- the
-
products of :the North river
country ta be -transported to
W A.
another competing line, which
would have the effect of upbuilding
towns in other communities. This
was a vital matter and should not
be overlooked.
Upon motion of T. C. Patterson
a committee upon incorporation
and permanent organization was
appointed consisting of the chair
man and secretary, T. C. Patterson,
W. W. Birge and C. F. Iddings.
The motion was amended so that
John Bratt and M. C. Keith were
included in the committee. A
second amendment to .ihe above
added the name of M. Gering-, of
Scott's Bluffs county, who was
present, and .pledged the. people of
his county to work as a unit for
the construction of tlie road.
On motion,, the above committee
was ordered to ' confer with the
Union Pacific officials and see what
aid could be expected from the
corporation.
In speaking of the zeal with
which the people of Scott's Bluffs
county- would take hold of . the
enterprise Mr, Gering said they de
sired the building of the road im
mediately for the transportation of
this year's crop, and that after the
preliminaries were arranged the
dirt could hp flying, within sixty
days.
The importance of this road to
the people of North Platte and
Lincoln county can easily be seen
by the most casual observer at a
glance. "With, this city made the
gateway to what is one of the
surest and largest safe agricultural
districts in the country (for drouths
come to every locality except those
under irrigation), its growth and
permanent prosperity is assured.
Our citizen ' shduld press every
method to secure this advantage,
and the enternriKP. is assured.
