(Taken from Tho Tribune of July 29, 1891.) J. B. McDonald, a member of the younger set of North Platte Hustlers, was collecting im exhibit of Lincoln county products for display at tho state fair. A carload of the products was later taken to Lincoln. Lester Tnrkington entered the locnl shops as a machinist apprentice. Joe Perritt, a son of Fred Perritt, went out on Jack Morrow flats to visit n son of J. H. Hardin. The two, each aged about twelve, dressed up in Indian costume and with feathers in their hats and hatchets in their hands went howl ing over the prairie. Their fun was short-lived, for a man named Batemnn noticed the disguised boys and taking up his shot-gun fired nt tho "Indians." After firing ho was horrified to find that he had pepperod with shot tho son of a neighbor. Bateman hitched up n team, brought the boy to town and Dr. McCabo picked thirty shot out of his face, chest and arms. Dr. Tomkins, the eminent English barrister and leading stockholder is the Wellfleet real estate and improvement company, was fined fiye dollars and costs in Justice of Peace Bishop's court at Wellfleet for "using language that grated harshly on the ears of tho jus tice." Herefused to pay tho fine, and ho was ordered taken to the North Platte jail. Upon arrival here a writ of habeas corpus was isued, and upon appearance before Judge Church he was discharged. In a game of ball Lexington defeated North Platto by a score of b!x to four. The battery for North Platto was Jesse Norton and Jim Daly.

Ernest Tramp, who had been working for the waterworks company, went to work in the shops as a helper in tho sheet iron department; Five new machinists were taken on at tho shops, among whom' was Fred Bremer. The first option period which gavo the city the right to purchase the water plant was drawing to a close, and a number of citizens favored voting bonds) to purchase the plant. C. L. Patterson had been given tho contract to plow fire guards on each side of the Union Pacific tracks from North Platto to La Salle, thence north to Cheyenne and then east to Julesburg, a total distance of 450 miles. The guard was five furrrows wide, and would be equivalent to one furrow 4,500 miles long. Engineer Frank Tracy encountered a storm while coming down from Sidney that was so severe "that he was not sure but that his hair would not turn gray before he reached North Platte." He said tho lightning was tho most brilliunt he had ever experienced, the thunder shook the hills and the rain fell in torrents. Jay Gould accompanied by his daugh ters Helen and Annie and sons Howard and Frank, nrrived on a special train and stopped over a couple of hours. Mr. Gould was piloted around the yards and through the shops by Genl. Manager Ed. Dickinson. Hans Gertler was getting ready for a trip to German.Y.to visit his mother whom he had not seen for twenty-four years. , 'A hailstorm destroyed all crops in a two mile strip south of Wallace.
