and citizens to turn out to see if
there was a fire. None was dis
covered. At least this is one way
the alarm may be accounted for,

The case of the city of North
Platte vs. B. I. Hinman for illegally

trary to the city ordinances was

Tuesday afternoon in a technical

Elsewhere in this issue ap
pears a condensed statement of the

It shows a very healthy condition

items being particularly noticea
oie. viz: "vjasn ana signt ex
change," and "Deposits." The
former represents the supply of
cash on hand, while, the latter
shows the savings of its patrons.
These indicate thrift upon the part
of the management of the bank, and
also economical habits upon the
part ot our citizens.
This morning shortly after one
o'clock our citisghs were awakened
by the fire alarm. Investigation
developed the fact that it was a
small barn in flames on the prem
ises of Mrs. P. Manion in the Third
ward. Owing to the inflammable
nature of the contents and the
start the fire obtained, the struct
ure was quickly consumed, almost
before the fire department could
accomplish anything. Fortunately
at the time of the fire it was slight
ly raining which prevented the
flames from spreading to other
property. The building and con
tents, consisting of a couple of tons
of hay and a buggy, are a total
loss, with no insurance.

Farm & Stock Improvement Co.

highway is what is known as the
Bratt road through the latter's
ranch. It appears that it was at
one time a legally established road,
but it is said to have been vacated
by the county commissioners with
out a petition praying therefor, thes
closing it to the public, and of wlilci
action there is not a proper record.
The county found itself similarly
situated in regard to a road through
Giltrian canyon, and was mulcted
into damageson this account. ' j

Manager Lloyd discovers upon
consulting hiscontracts that the
date.for "The Pay Train," which
he supposed was to be here to-morrow
night is instead Nov. 4th. War
ren has wasted a great deal of
vigorous language upon the above
subject for-which he is now heartily
sorry.
V. VonGoetz and John H. Day
have signified their intention of
moving their stocks of merchandise
from the Third ward into the Otten
stein building on Spruce street
about the 1st of November. This
will bring them more into the cen
ter of business and trade, aud will
no doubt be appreciated by many
of their customers.
J. R. Bangs returned Wednes
day night from his trip up into the
cuttle country northwest of here.
He is very much in love with the

returned the latter part of theweekr
from the cattle round-up in Wyom-.

that country they were caught
the recent cold snap, for which theyf
were improperly' equipped, and in
consequence had a very lively ex
perience, although no actual suffer
ing was occasioned. Last year
vigorous efforts were made to rpund
up all of Mrs. R. Watts' cattle in
that locality, as she had sold sher
ranch property to Mr. Diilon whojs
utilizing the same as a horse ranch,
yet at the late round up there were
round about sixty head of cattle
