A man about thirty years of age
ticketed from Massachusetts to Lincoln,
Cal., got off train No. 3 Sunday night
in a demented condition. He remained
around the depot until morning when
his actions aroused the suspicions of the
authorities and upon being questioned
it was ascertained that he was tempor
arily insane. He was taken to jail and
during the day became very violent at
times. If he does not improve speedily
efforts will be made to locate his rela
tives. Initial correspondence cards and

The new boiler at the water plant
was placed in service last week, and
while it has greatly increased the
efficiency of the plant, additional boilers
will probably be necessary when the
proposed new extensions' are made. A
new and larger pump will also be nec
essary in the future. Perhaps the
greatest drawback to the efficiency of
the service in the immediate furture
will be the wells. These, however, are
now being examined and will be deep
ened. Miss Lillian Ritner while home from
Kearney on a visit, was stunned and
rendered unconscious by a fall from a
buggy at the depot Saturday evening.
Together with her father she had driven
to the depot to meet a friend and while
waiting for the train tho horse became
frightened. , Mr. Ritner jumped from
tho buggy and caught the horse by the
bridle and while quieting the animal
Mist Lillian attempted to get out of the
buggy, in ooing so her sKirt caught
and she fell over the wheel to the
ground, sustaining severe bruises that
rendered her unconscious. She was
taken to the Timmerman and a physician
called. She soon regained conscious
ness and the following evening was able
to return to her school in Kearney.
