Will Run Through To Cheyenne.
George W. Vromau received a
cttcr from General Manager Dick-
nson this morning stating that
after Sept. 1st freight cuginc and
train crews will run through from
North Platte to Chcycnw, a dis
tance of 225 miles. Wc undcrhtand,
however, that it is stipulated that
f it is found the firemen cannot
stand the trip through they can
change at Sidney. The engineers,
conductors and brakemen will run.
through without change.
This move, it is believed, is
argely experimental and local rail
road men, generally say that it will
not prove successful. The schedule
of the ia&tc&t freight trains be
tween North Platte and Cheyenne
is twelve hours, while the slower
trains cover the distance in from
eighteen to thirty hours, governed
argely by the time spent on side
tracks, It is argued, and appar
ently correctly, that cuginc crews,
especially firemen, cannot stand so
many consecutive hours of labor.
The labor devolving on the train
crews may be somewhat lighter
than on the engine crews, but,,
nevertheless it will be such as only
the most robust constitution can
stand.
This new order has already
created considerable dissatisfaction
among the roadmen.
A carload of Missouri apples
were shipped into town today.
Physicians report several light

The sidewalk ordinance recently

considerable talk, and there seems

of the citv and that the proper
width is five feet lour Inches.
