Two Car Thieves
In County Court
Two men giving their names'' as
Thomas Sloan and Georgo Verd were
arraigned yesterday morning before
Judge Grant charged with burglarizing
a Union Pacific freight car at Paxton,
and entered pleas of not guilty. The
men were very sullen and had tefused
to talk since their arrest last week until
they were arraigned.
In the afternoon the preliminary
hearing was started before the county
court and witnesses were called, but
the case was postponed for three days
on application of the two men. Con
ductor W. H. O'Connell and DotectiveB
A. C. Combs and Wiedman wero called
as witnesses. C. L, Patterson of
Omaha was also down for tre trial.
The men are undoubtedly thugs of
the worst class. They are always1 on
the lookout for a chance to get away or
do some dirty work and they assume a
sullen doflant air before the court. They
were put through a cross questioning
yesterday morning in the jail, but they
refused to impart any information and
maintained there was no case against
them.
On their return to jail from the
court room one of the men sprang at
Wiedman as if to attack Kim him, but
was stopped hofore ho made any
attack. In the afternoon they were
handcuffed together and taken to the
hearing and were later brought up
town to have their pictures taken, but
they refnsed to submit to this "indigr
nity."
Thd evidence against the two is very
convicting and there is also belief that
they are members of n gang that is
causing much trouble in this part of
the state. The other two men who
wore arrested with these two were re
leased as they were found to.have no
connection with the crime.
The evangelistic meetings, at the
Methodist church, which have been con
ducted by Dr. Fletcher L. Wharton of
Lincoln, closed Saturday evening and
Dr. Wharton returned to Lincoln. They
were to have continued for another
week, but Dr. Wharton's work in Lin
coln was so arranged that he was un
able to stay over and the members de
cided to close tho meetings rather than
to get another evangelist. The meet
ings were of great interest and Dr.
Wharton is undoubtably one of the
ablest men who has ever been in this-
city. His sermons were more along the
line of Bible talks and wore full of .life
rather than theory '

May Party is
Largely Attended
Despite tho inclemency of the wea
ther the attendance at the May party
Friday evening was very large. The
seating capacity of the gallery was
filled and many were forced to stand,
while" the floor was crowded. The dec
orations were beautiful, pink and white
streamers of .crepe paper were strung
the narrow way of the hall and under
these string of electric lights ran the
opposite direction. The main chan
deliers were enclosed in large canopies,
and the faoades of the gallery were
tastefully decorated. The stage en
trance was transformed into a porch
scene with festooned posts. The con
cert by th.e Stamp orchestra, which
preceded the dancing, was well ren
dered and each number was heartily
applauded. The grand march, which
was given so that souvenirs might be
distributed, was led by M. C. Hayes
and daughter Vaunita, and Mesdames
Ryan and Lawhead presented a carna
tion to each lady as they passed. Car
nations were also given to the ladies
occupying seats in the gallery. Dan
cing began shortly after nine o'clock,
and with an hour taken out at mid
night for supper continued until three.
The hall decorations presented a
splendid appearance, tho music was
fine, the floor attendants were courte
ous, and as a result the evening, proved
,a delightful one, not only for the dan-
ce.rs, but for spectators as well. Two
colored men were present to brush tho
mud and dry the footwear of the ladies.
Visitors from Omaha, Grand Island,
Sidney, Cheyenne and Larmie were
present, and the local attendants were
among our best class of people. Viewed
from every angle the thirty-second May
Party was a pronounced success, and
Chairman H. A. Lawhead and members
of his committees are entitled to praise
for their work.

NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA
Will Build 13-Foot Walk.
A thirteen-foot cement sidewalk is
soon to be built around tho greater
part of the block upon which the new
Building & Loan building is being con
structed. Nearly all the owners of prop
perty on thiB block have consented to
put in the walk. It will start at the
alley on Locust street south of the new
I building nnd will be built around the
lots upon which that building stands
and those of J. W. Payne, Dr. J. S.
Twinem, the I. O. O. F. building and
probably south to the wide walk around
the Hendy-Ogier garage.
A survey will also be made for the
laying-of curbing and the level will be
made by the cfty engineer. This will
be done thoroughly and the curbings
will be put in so that they will not
have to bo changed in case the pave
ment would ever be put in on tho
streets adjoining. If the plans go
through as now proposed a full thirteen
foot walk will bo built on the west side
of Dewey street for the entire block
from the Platte Valley bank south.
Willis Todd, of Omaha, president of
the North Platte electric company,
was in the city Friday and Saturday
