1000 Cattle StoleiiT '
A counlo of weeks atro Tho Tribune
made mention of the visit to North
Platte Cof Milo Burke, of the Big
Horn Basin, Wyo., and at ono timo a
resident of this county. It is now
learned that Mr. Burke's visit to Ne
braska, and particularly to Stuth
Omaha, was to learn, If possible, in
formation relative to tho disappearance
of about 1000 head of cattle belonging'
to him, to ono of the Sutherland boys
who was also formerly a Lincoln county
boy and to other stockman of the Big
Horn Basin. These cattlo all dis
appeared at tho same time; undoubt
edly they were driven ok" by cattle
rustlers, but the strange part of it is
that no trace of them can be found.
Tho stockyards at Denver, South Omaha
and other cattle centers were visited.
but it was found that no cattle bearing
the brands of the stolen stock had been
shipped. It is supposed now that the
cattlo were driven north into Canada,
probably being divided into small
bunches by the thieves.

Most Luxurious Train in World.
Starting February 3, says tho Omaha
Bee. the Northwestern and Union
Pacific will run a Sunrise-Sunset special
from Chicago to Los Angeles, passing
through Omaha.t., The train will be an
experiment, but" if it comes up to ex
pectationsit will become one of the reg
ular trains of the two roads.
The Sunrise-Sunset special will be
sidetracked at important pointB during
all of the nights, running only during
tho daytime. It will leave Chicago at
9 o'cI6ck in the morning and arrive at
Omaha at 10 that night. Hero it will
remain until 8:30 the following morning,
when It will continue westward. Pas
sengers will be five nights on the road,
but each night their train will be on a
sidetrack.-
The train will carry seven sleepers,
an observation car, adiner, andalibrary
and a buffet car. For the initial trip
nil of tho space has been sold. Besides

Our gobd democratic friend Henry
Fulk wo say democratic because so
long, as Henry remains thero will always
be one democrat in Sutherland precinct
was summoned to town Thursday
afternoon by phono by Bill Beatty and
Tom Marcott, of Brady, who were al
icady here. Presuming that these dem
ocratic statesmen of the east end de
sired to consult "with him on things
political.-vHenry came to town in an
auto, and had scarcely set his foot on
Dewey street when ho was collared by
the police patrol, taken before Judge
Sullivan and fined two plunks. It then
developed that Bill and Tom had set tho
trap for Henry; had caused him to
travel twenty miles in order to be fined
in a kangaroo court. Within tho next
six monthsrwe expect to be able to re
cord how Henry got even with Tom and
Bill.
Tho Union Paaific Railroad company
furnishes an illustration of what cor
porations have come to regard as a bus
iness in the matter of furnishing as
sistance to the loyal and faithful em
ployes. This railroad company was the
first in tho country to pension employes
and at this time is carrying upon the
payrolls more than 200 men and women,
about a dozen of whom aro residing
in this city. The others are scattered
over tho county from ocean to ocean
and from Canada down into Mexico.
All of them have seen long years of
service with tho "Overland" system
and tho pension, or reward for efficient
services, as it is better known, aggre
gates at this timo $7,000 per month and
is constantly increasing, for Father
Time is constantly astir and bringing
the employe up to tho line of retirement.
In Mcmoriura
Byron L. Robinson, was born in
Ondago county, New York, February
15, 1819. When a small boy ho moved
to Michigan with his parents, whero ho
remained until the outbreak of the civil
war, at which time ho volunteered his
services to tho union ns government
operator in the south.
In 1871 lio moved to North Platto,
where ho entered tho employ of tho
Western Union Telegraph Co. in which
capacity ho toiled a as( faithful steward
for twenty-eight years. His total ser
Vico for tho Union Pacific Railroad Co.
was forty-two years. For tho pait
fourteen ho has been passenger director,
and hero his gentlemanly courtesy and
kindly spirit havo been greatly appre
ciated both by tho company and the
traveling public.
On September 2, 1877, Mr. Robinson
was united in marriage to Miss Alice
Tinkham of Beatrice, Neb. Two chil
dren were given to them- a daughter
for whom tho good angel who loveth
the little ones came nnd in infancy boro
her away to the green hills of God, and
a son, Guy, who now resides at Bur
lington, Iowa.
On November 9, 1912, he was strick
en with an attack of pleurisy, which
cfToctcd his heart. For weeks he was
confined to his home, but he was alwnys
cheerful and as ho lapsed into tho
shadow ho said "I am not nfraid." On
Friday, January 17, 1913, ho was taken
to '.Omaha and placed in the Wiso
Memorial Hospital. From there he, in
company with his wifo, expected to go
to California for the winter, but at G
o'clock Tuesday evening, January 22.
quietly nnd unaccompanied, his spirit
took its flight, to that city which lieth
four spuarc, whose maker and builder
is God.
To mourn his departure aro left a sor
rowing wife, a son Guy, two brothers
and a sister who rosido in Michigan,
and a multitude of friends who say by
their tears, "We loved him."
On tho evening of February 8, 1880,
Byron L. Robinson was cjnvortod. Ho
knew it, North Plntto know it, and tho
employes of the Union Pacific knew it.
A soul had been transformed and trans
figured by tho miraculous power of
Jesus Christ.
.He at once united himself with tho
M. E. Church in North Platto and was
an official member of that church to
the day of his death. For eighteen
years ho was superintendent of the
Sunday school. Thoso were precious
years. Tho young life of the church'
grew into manhoqd and womanhood
under :ho benediction of his spiritual
presence. Every child loved Uncle
Rqb and all took notice that he had
been with Jesus and lonrned of him.
Wj) have sustained a great loss.
Earth is poorer but heaven is rlchor.
Today Byron L. Robinson with a palm
of victory in his hnnd, stands ' among
thdse who have come up out of great
tribulation nnd washed their robes and
mado them whito in the blood of the
Lamb.
Sidney Dentist Fades Away.
Sidney mourns the departure of Dr.
A. N. ltecd, a dentist, who sloped
away during the starlight, leaving many
unpaid bills. But worst of all are the
cries of lamentation from the Sidney
ladies, with whom ho was very popular,
in fact he was what is known ns a lady
killer and he had nil tlm dear girls just
about crazy in their efforts to court his
favor.
