At a meeting of the Blue lodge of

thousand dollar building was care
fully examined and pronounced
very satisfactory, but as yet no

The executive committee of the
street fair held a meeting last even
ing and transacted considerable
business toward windinjr un affairs
and especially the financial part.
Ii was found necessary to make a
ton per cent assessment on the
ubscribers to the original tund,
making a total assessment of sixty
per cent of the amount subscribed.
This will create a sufficient amount
to pay all indebtedness. The total
expenses of the fair, now that all
bills are in, is found to be about
twenty-five hundred dollars.
Several merchants favor holding
i street fair next year, but would
like to see it conducted on different
lines. They would advocate a
continuous booth down the center
of Dewey street in which merchants
could display aud sell their goods,
nd that provisions be made also
to have a complete exhibition of
gncultural products. At the ex
treme end ot the booths pens could
be erected for the exhibition of fine
cattle, horses and hogs. These
merchants think such a street fair
would be a winner.

After Train Robbers.
A lone train robber held up a B
& M traiti near Haiglcr Tuesday
evening and secured considerable
booty from the passengers. It
later developed that the robber had
a pal, and a rapidly organized
posse started in pursuit, lollowing
the trail of the men into the south
part of this county, where the clew
was lost. Sheriff Keliher recclyed
word yesterday to be on the look
out for the robbers, and later
learned that two heavily armed
men had passed through Suthcr
land on their way north. These
men arc known in Sutherland and
live about twenty miles northwest
of that village. They have un
savory reputations and arc
suspected of having committed the
robbery on the Weir ranch several
weeks ago when four hundred
dollars in cash were taken. The
men had been absent from their
haunts for a week or ten days and
there are other reasons for believ
ing that they are the parties who
held up the B. & M. train.
Sheriff Keliher went to Suther
land last night and expected to
make the drive out to the place
where the suspected men live. A
reward of one thousand dollars is
offered for the capture of the
robber, dead or alive.
