North Platte people were shocked
Wednesday to learn that tho lifeless
body of Sidney Dillion had been found
that morning in tho FunkhAuser hotel
at Hershey. Mr. Dillion arrived at
Hershey from Ogalalla Monday night.
and upon engaging: n room requested
not to be awakened In tho morning.
At noon the following day Mr. Funk
houser knocked on tho door and Sidney
replied he was not yet ready to get up.
Again at six in the evening Funkhouser
knocked and this time Sidney said ho
would not arise. Wednosday morning
at seven o'clock Funkhouasr went to
tho room, knocked several times but
raceived no reply. He then looked
through the transform and saw Dillion
lying on tho bed with the upper por
tion of his clothing covered with blood,
and evidence that he was dead.
Funkhouser communicated tho 'news
to residents of the town and at once
notified Coroner Maloney who went to
Hershey and after investigating condi
tions concluded that tho evidence of
self destruction was so plain that an
inquest would be unnecessary. With a
pocket knifo tho unfortunate man had
sovered the jugular vein nnd then lay
ing rigid and with hands clasped awaited
doath. There was no evidence that he
had struggled whilo the end came; a
stoicism not often recordod. Tho body
was brought to this city and placed in
the Howe & Maloney chamber.
Sidney Dillion had been a resident of
North Platte from birth until a few
yoars ago when he located on a ranch
in McPherson county about thirty miles
north of Paxton. Ho graduated 'from
tho local school, nnd later attended
Yalo university, and completing his
course became associated with Ills
father as railroad constractors.
Upon tho death of the father, con
tracting was discontinued and Sidney
engaged in ranching. About eighteen
months 'ago ha was thrown from a
horse, sustained injuries which serious
ly oll'octod his head and speech, and for
several months was under tho caro of a
physician and nurse. Since then his
more intimate friends have noticed that
his mentality had beon impaired, nnd it
was through the loss of this led to
self-dostruction.
Wednosday foronoon Minor Hinman,
accompanied by Miss Alice Birgo, drove
to the ranch in a ear and brought to this
city tho gnof prostrated wifo who a
year ago had become k brido.
Beroft aro tho young wifo, the
mother Mrs. Isaac Dillon, and two
sisters, Mrs. Lester Walker of this
city and Mrs. Donald Goodwill, of Min
den, La. At this writing funeral ar
rangements have not beon comploted.
The mother, who has been visiting in
Louisiana is expected to reach here to
morrow night'and tho service held Sun
day. (
The Omaha Bee of Wednesday con
tained a lengthy article relative to tho
building operations of tho Burlington
in Wyoming, in which is stated that
the contract for grading between Pow
der River and Casper had been let, and
5,000 men and 1,000 teams had been put
to work last Monday. As soon
this stretch is comploted tho grading
force will be put to work on the grade
betweon Casper and Orin Junction, and
tho entire work is to be completed
ready for tho stool not later than No
vember 1st.
The Beo further states that the grad
ing for the Platto Valley lino from
Kcarnoy to Bridgeport has been let
and will be finished this season, and the
statement is made that tho Burlington
has purchased eighty acres of land west
of Kearney and it looks aB though that
city was to be mado a freight terminal
point on tho new road. If tho Burlin
ton has decided to make Kcarnoy a
division terminal instead of North
Platto, the one great hope of this city
has been blasted, for with the invest
ment of $100,000 in real estate in and
near the city which tho company had
made, it was only reasonable for us to
believe that we woro to become n ter
minal. Wo arc inclined to believe
that the Bee's "dope" on Kearney is
incorrect; that town is not so situated
to becomo a terminal point as tho dis
tance from Lincoln to Kearney is about
1C0 miles, nnd from Kearney to Bridge
port is over 200 miles.
Moro likely the freight divisions would
be from Lincoln to Hastings, Hastings
to North Platte and North Platto to
Bridgeport, with North Platte tho end
of tho first passenger division.
Unless North Platte is made ft divi
sion terminal the building of the Burling
ton will be of little vnluo to tho city.
FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.
Tho Lincoln Journal of yesterday
contained this item in connection with
the abovo subject:
To protect itself against a possible
riso in property values when it may
find it necessary to complete a right of
way tlirough tho city of Kearney the
Burlington has bought a consider
able amount of property thoro,
property amounting all told to
about seven blocks. It is understood
this property wa3 about to be placed
on tho market as town lots and that it
could bo uougiu lor mucn less money
beforo being placed on the market in
that shape.
No announcement as. to intentions
have been made, but those familiar
with tho situation oxpect tho Burlington
to begin construction of the ' Kearney
Bridgeport line, connecting tho Ne
braska system directly with tho Wyo
ming system, during the next two or
three years.
Improvements Under Way
OntheBratt Building.
The two store rooms of tho Bratl
building on Front streo occupied by E.
T. Tramp & Son are being romodelcd
and modernized in severnl particulars.
New late stvle fronts aro being con
structed, steol ceilings have been put
on in both rooms, tho ovorhend veranda
torn down down, and other improve
ments made. In keeping with these
changes the occupants will also moko
re-arrangements of tho stock that wil(
add to tho 'attractiveness convenience
theroof and in tho handling of the same.
Sinco adding tho dry goods depart
ment, the volume of business of the
firm has wonderfully increased, the dry
goods department causing greater
sales in tho grocery department and
vice versa.
The improvements being mado will
add greatly to tho general appearance
of the building.
