AUUrWPB ItNX RHBUMATIO C0lfBox U, HrimnaitD,aJNN Gono to His Long Homo. One of the earliest pioneers of western Nebraska, Louis II. Baker, died at his home on west Sixth Btrcet Saturday morning after a long and painful illness. While he had not been confined to his bed very long1, he had been confined to the House tor months, aim dunuir part of the time hud suffered ex cruciating pain, but bore it with a very cheerful resignation. All of his family were present at the time of his death but his step-son and step-daughter and his son Charley, who had but recently returned to his home in iMinturn. Louis Henry Baker was born in Brownsville, Pa., on December 18, 1830. About forty years ago, while he was still a young man, he came west and engaged in the fur busi ness, making trips along the Mis souri river almost to its source. In I860 he came to Lincoln county and established a trading post on a ranch. He has resided here con tinuously since then. Shortly a -ter he came to this country he wn married to Mrs. Lewis, who sur vives him. His life here during the sixties and early seventies was a very stir ring one and was full of thrilling adventures, as the Indians con stantly menaced his life and prop erty. In fact they destroyed a large amount of his property, a claim for which is still pending in congress although it ought to have been paid long ago. Mr. Baker was one of the small band of men who by coming here and enduring all sorts of hardships and peril made it possible for this country to be settled, He was a man ot many excellent qualities and his death has brought &udunss to many. He is survived by a wife, three sons, Charley. John and Will, and two daughters. Mrs. 151 ma Crane and Mrs. II. G. Atkinson. The funeral waH held at the Church ot Our Saviour yesterday afternoon and was attended by a large con course ot people anxious to pay a last tribute of respect.

Tra cy's birthday, a number of ladtcs decided to celebrate the occasion by tendering her a surprise party in the afternoon, They gathered at the home of one of the ladicsnnd at three o'clock presented themselves at the Tracy home and demanded admittance. Mrs. Tracy was com pletely surprised but soon regained her self-possession and proved her self to be a charming hostess even when taken unawares. The ladies presented her with a very hand some hund-paiutcd vase as a token of their esteem. They had also not forgotten the material side of life and had brought with them the essentials for an elegant lunch which was served during the latter part of the afternoon. The occasion was one which will long be rcincm bcrcd by all who were there as one of the most pleasant afternoons ever spent.

The prisoner stoutly main tained his innocence whenever he had an opportunity but the evidence against linn was so great that the jury brought in a verdict of guilty in a very short time after the case was given to them. After the jury brought in its verdict Connors weakened and finally admitted that he had a hand in the burglary of the store but insisted that it was his accomplices who made the entry into the building and that he re ceived the goods outside. Saturday morning Judge Grimes passed sentence upon the men who had been convicted. Harry Foil, who stole the clothing from the Vienna, was given twenty days in jail; A. M. McDaniel, who appro priated the shotgun, was given twenty days in jail as was also Ira James who plead guilty to stealing the Bilker harness.' Connors was sentenced to live years in the pen itentiary. Judge Grimes has set aside the decree of divorce in the case of Sarah Loan vs Patrick Loan be cause within two uavs alter the decree was granted the plaintiff went to Julesburg and was married to A. 15. Sanford. If the plaintiff returns to Nebraska she will be prosecuted for bigamy as the Judge is resolved to put a stop to the pre vailing laxity in regard to immedi ate remarriage after divorce and the obtaining of divorces to marry other people.
