The high wind has demonstrated
very thoroughly that there is one
civic virtue that North Platte
doesn't possess and that is street
cleanliness. In addition to the sand
which was blowing around very
freely, the streets were filled with
flying papers. People are entirely
too carclesB about throwing papers
in the street. It belies the char
acter of the town and gives a
stranger the impression that this
is a community of indolent people.
If every citizen would exercise the
proper care in this matter it would
make a very material chaugefor the
better in the appearance of the
streets.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Hayes Clemens, a young fireman
on the Third district, met his death
Tuesday evening at Chappell under
peculiar circumstances. The young
man was firing Engine No. 1716
which was pulling train No. 23. At
Chappell the train was sidetracked
in order to let train No. 1 pass by.
Clemens observed that the ash pan
needed cleaning out and decided to
do it while the train was on the
siding. The ash-pans on the 1700
class engines have two openings
Clemens was underneath working
at the forward opening when with
out an instant's warning the arch
pipes burst close to the outer edge
of the fire box and two streams of
boiling water and steam struck
him full in the face and breast.
The force with which the water
struck him was so great that it
threw him back under the wheels of
the tender and cinders from the ash
pan were driven through his cloth
ing and imbedded in his flesh.
Death was probably instantaneous
All of the flesh on the upper part
of his body and his internal organs
were literally cooked. Even had he
been able to withstand the scalding
water the force with which he was
thrown against the wheels of the
tender would probably have killed
him. Engineer Jeffrey was stand
ing at the side of the engine oiling
up when the accident accurred and
he had one foot scalded.
Clemens' remains were taken to
the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Clemens, near Hershev
and the funeral waB held from there
Thursday, He had only been firing
for a short time, having taken his
examination about six weeks ago,
HiB sudden death has cast a shadow
over all of his brother firemen and
the stricken parents have the sym
pathy of the entire community in
their great affliction.

HORSE THIEVES CAUGHT.
Last week two men, C. E. Plun
kett, better known as Happy Jack,
and Bill Johnson, a man who had
only been here for two weeks, went
to Mike Foster's livery stable and
said that they wished to hire two
saddle horses for several days to go
after some horses belonging to A.
W. Arnett in Keith county. Fos
ter knew that Happy Jack had been
working fot Arnett and also knew
that Arnett was going to bring
some horses down so he let the men
have the saddle horses. A few days
afterward he learned that the story
Happy Jack had told was false as
Arnett' had brought his horses
down early in the week so he re
reported the transaction to the
sheriff. In the meantime Happy
Jack sent a letter to Foster saying
that the Arnett horses had gotten
away from them and that they
would need the saddle horses a few
days longer. The letter was sent
from Ogallala so Sheriff Keliher
wired to Sheriff Patrick to arrest
the men. Sheriff Patrick arrested
Happy Jack and brought him down
Tuesday niglit. On his return
home he succeeded in finding the
other mau and arrested him. Sheriff
Keliher went after him and brought
him down Wednesday night. When
Sheriff Keliher reached Ogallala he
found that Happy Jack had sold
both horses, the saddles and bridles
and spurs to Chas. Winter, of Ogal
lala, for thirty dollars. Johnson
says that he was only hired by
Happy Jack and that their original
intention was to go up into Keith
county and round up a lot of wild
horses that are in the hills and sell
them. The men will probably have
their preliminary hearing to-morrow.
