6 RAILROAD NOTES,
Asst. Supt. Ware returned yes
terday from a trip to Grand Island
and over the Ord branch.
Luke Hart, who had been work
ing in the Cheyenne shops, is visit
ing North Platte friends.
Messrs. Brennan and Quinn;
former employes of the machine
shop, leave for Chicago tomorrow.
Supt. Baxter, of the Union Pa
cific, spent yesterday in town on
matters pertaining to his official
position.
Word from Cheyenne is to the
effect that all the machinery in the
Union! Pacific shops in that city
has been white leaded. This would
indicate the shops will not be re
opened in the immediate future.
Word was received at the divi
sion foreman's office this week to
the effect that the U. P. company
had removed all charges against D.
A. Brown, who was in a mix-up
while running an engine on the
Wyoming division about two years
ago. Brown is now running an
elevator engine in Cheyenne.
The Cheyenne shops of the Union
Pacific Company were closed down
Tuesday evening, throwing about
650 men out of employment. Sev
eral reasons are assigned for this
action. One is that on account of
of the boilermakers' strike there is
no work in the other departments.
Another cause assigned is that the
merchants and property owuers of
Cheyenne charge such high
prices tor goods and exorbitant
rents for houses that Mr. Burt con
cluded to bring them to terms by
temporarily closing the shops.
Another rumor is to the effect that
when the shops re-open the piece
work plan will be adopted.
The Union Pacific made a re
markable run with the Aladdin
temple ot Shriuera from San Fran
cisco to Omaha. Ths special train
of seveu cars was carried the thous
and miles, from Ogden to Omaha,
in twenty-five hours, including slow
downs, stops for icing and water
ing trains. The most remarkable
part of the run was from Cheyenne
to Omaha, 516 miles in ten hours,
The 291 inileb from North Platte to
Omaha was .made in five Iioutb and
the portion from Grand Island to
Omaha was proportionately faster.
Though such speed an developed by
this train is common with other
roads, as well as the Union Pacific
for Bhort distances, or stretches of
an hour, the fact that it could pick
up a heavy train and carry it 1,000
miles over mountains and plains
without mishap at such tpecd, it is
pointed out, is a feat that but
few railroads can accomplish. All
of the ShrinerB1 trains tared with
similar good speed while on the
U ii ion Pacific.
About Bcventy-five Lutheran
people, principally members of the
aid society, drove out to the Han
sen ranch north of the river yester

played. Refreshments were served,

THE BIG STORE,
Indian Take More Scalps.
The Cheyenne Indians, arrayed
in lull war dress, took scalps from
nine young men in North Platte
Wednesday. But ir cost an effort;
it was a battle royal on the diamond
and until the end of the ninth
inning it was no sure thing for the
Indians.
The game waB one ot good
steady work rather thnn of brilliai t
plays, and ot the five errors made,
but one was costly, and that partic
ular one was largely responsible
for the Indians securing their first
run.
Teel, the new pitcher lor the
Union Pacific, did good work in the
box, striking out eleyen men and
keeping the western sluggers down
to ten hits. Up to the sixth inning
the Bcore stood one to nothing.
The Indians went to bat in the
sixth and Nash had reached second.
Then Mr. Green grasped his bat
and pounded out a home run, thus
bringing in Nash and himself.
That was grief for the grand stand
and the bleachers but it had to be
borne. The score:
Cheyenne 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0-3
