Hold up and ICobbcd.
Gus Murphy was held up, severely
beaten and robbed of twenty-five
dollars at his home near Herahey
Saturday night about eleven
oVloek. Murphy lives alone in a
small house and at the above hour
two men appeared at the door and
asked for lodging, but were told
they could not be accommodated.
They then asked for something- to
eat, and Murphy said he would net
i hem a bag of crackers, which he
proceeded to do, the men remaining
outdoors. Murphy, however, grew
suspicious, and when he went to
the door with the crackers he took
li is gun. As he appeared at the
door the two men jumped on hint
and severely beating him, took
twenty-live dollars from his pocket.
Sheriff Carpenter was notified,
went up Sunday morning and made
an examination of the premises
which showed that the men had
ridden to Murphy's house on horseB
and the latter were tracked to Iler
sliey. It is the prcvailingiopiniqn
that the hold-up was committed
by parties living in the vicinity ot
Iersliey. Murphy says that in the
struggle he bit a finger of one of
the in n. and this may perhaps
lead to detection.
Murphy had kept four or live
hundred dollars in his house, but a
few days before the liolcl-tip had de
posited nearly all of it in the Suth
erland bank. The men attacking
turn probably knew that he had
been kcepinir this money in the
house and hoped to secure it.

opposed to the proposed lease law
now pending in Congress., believing
that its passage would work a
great injury to the interests ot
western Nebraska and other por
tions of western America, where
the stock industry is the leading
business of the people, for the rea
son that its passage would concen
trate this industry in the hands ol
but few individual aud work a
great injury and harm to the
smaller cattlemen of the west.
We also favor the passage of a
new homestead law, which will
allow settlers within the arid or
subarid portions of the west, sul-
ficieut laud upon which a profitable
business can be transacted in the
raising of cattle, horses or other
Block: that the limit should be in
