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.

A Delightful Surprlso.
Saturday being Mrs. C, P. 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 ladies who were present
were McfidauiCH Cnry,Miltonberger,
Buchanan, White, Strahoru, Ham

Orr, Hartmau, Eves, Parsons, Goo

' District Court.
The entire day Friday was devot
ed to the case ot the State vs Con
nors. 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.
