A Heroic Act Rewarded.
From Fremont comes tho announce
ment that tho wedding bans of Frank
Lnrson, of that city, and Mrs. Winifred
Delnnoy, for tho past two yoor'B resi
dent of North Platte, will bo published
next Sunday in St. Patrick's church nt
Fremont.
Mr. "Larson is u fireman on the North
western railroad, who two years ago
saved tho livo of Earl, tho four year
old son of Mrs. Delnncy. It was near
Exeter that this act of heroism oc-
cured. Tho child had strayed on
truck, when tho train Larson was
tho
lr-
ing enmo along at a thirty-fivo mile an
hour gait. Tho train could not bo
Btopped in timo to snvo the child, nnd
Lnrsori climbing out of tho cab nnd
down on tho pilot brushed the child
from the track nnd out of way of hnrm.
Larson later was given n hero medal
by congress ami tho nownpnpers over
the country published his picture.
As might bo expected, Mrs. Delnnoy
wns sincorely gratoful for this horoism
on the part of Larson, nnd tho latter
accoptqd nn invitation to visit Mrs. Do
laney. This visit wns tho beginning of
a mutual admiration that will, accord
ing to tho Fremont announcement,
soon havo n h.ppy termination.
This also clears up some speculation
as to why Mrs. Dplar.oy, nfter being
ro-olected n teacher in tho North Platto
schools, sent in her resignation.
Mrs. Dclnnqy is a women of charming
personality, refined and well educated,
and during her residence in North
Platto ms won tho highest cBtccm of
every acquaintance.
Tho sequel to Larson's act of heroism
is indeed as fitting and happy as it is
romantic.
In any city you will find the best
residence district adjoining the city
paries. The same will be true in North
Plalte in a few years. The city park
purchased from Roy B. Tabor, trustee,
is to be improved with trees, etc.,
next spring. It will probably be the
only public park North Platte will
have iff- many years. lt will' Contain-
eleven acres. Now the opportunity
exists to buy residence lots adjoining
the city park site. These lots arc im
proved with five-foot cement side
walks, graded streets and sewer, and
the prices and terms arc right. The
Trustee still has for sale a number of
corner lots adjoining the park site.
These are for sale by
WM. E. SHUMAN.
