Charged With Cattle Stealing.
Harry Cunningham and Robert Iangle
were brought to this city yesterday
from Kearney by Sheriff Andrews
charged with the theft of two cows
from Hoyt Hart of the Paxton vicinity.
Two cows were stolen from Mr. Hart
on Wednesday and were sold in Paxtorr
for $72. Also two unknown men were
seen to drive into Sutherland in a liv
ery rig and buy tickets for Cronk?town, I
Minn. Sheriff Salisbury was notified
of the theft and of the two unknown
men boarding the train and he notified
the Kearney officers to search the
trains.
Sheriff Andrews apprehended the
men on n night train into Kearney
Wednesday evening and took them
into custody and brought them here
yesterday morning. They were lodged
io the city jail and Sheriff Beal, of
Ogalalla, arrived this morning and re
turned with them. From the talk of 1
the two men in seems that th y will
plead guilty.
Henry Gcise Parole Revoked.
A report on the investigation re
cently held at Maxwell of the Henry
Geise parole case was received yester
day. The Pardon Board after review
ing at length the different sides of the
case, revoked the parole of Mr. Geise
because of the way in which it was se
cured and not from any facts brought
out at the investigation, and tho board
not wishing to send the defendant back
to the penitentiary, gives him permit
siorfto move to another county or go to
Germany, he having stated at the in
vestigation that ho had leased his place
for five years and had no interests to
hold him here. The board recom
mended the above thinking it was not
policy for he and his accusers to remain
in the same locality, and the other
parties could not be asked to leave as
they have never been accused of theft
and have always born a good reputa
tion. Brady Vindicator,

City Conncil Meets. ,
Very little of interest was taken up
at the council meeting Tuesday even
ing. An ordinance providing for the
building of sewers in lateral district K
was taken up and was read three times
and put on its final passage. Street
Commissioner W. li. Salisbury ap
peared before the board and complained
that many were putting in tile drains
in the ditches and they wete not getting
the grado from the city engineer and
that they paid Jittle attention to the
grade, often causing the water to back
up and leave a constant cess pool. The
council advised him to make these
people take out their drains and put
them in under the supervision of the
city engineer.
The matter of building sidewalks
was taken up and complaints were
brought in by some property owncis
that hitching-posts were placed where
their walks should be and that they
would not build their walks until the
posts were removed on account of the
horses that were tied there destroying
the. walks. Commissioner Salisbury
also complained that many people had
trimmed their trees nnd left tho brush
lying where it had fallen and thnt for
this reason some of the weeds could not
properly be cut. Tho council advised
that all persons should removo the
brush to allow for the cutting Of tho
weeds. The mowers will be started
soon to cut down all the weeds ulong
the walks.

M. J. Croker and Fred Wilkins ar
rived in the city last evening in a
Saxon car enroute from New York
City to San Francisco by the Lincoln
Highway. Tho Saxon is to he the first
cor to make tho official trip across the
continent via the Lincoln Highway and
tha two young men are making a nice
trip. A delegation of scvcrsl cars
from this city met them on tho state
farm road and piloted them into the
city and they spent the night here.
Mayor Mitchell, of New York City,
was the official starter of the trip and
the two young men started on their
trip of 3,389 miles. The schedule culls
for an average speed of twenty miles
per hour and an average daily drjve of
one hundred and twentj -five miles and
they have run so far on schedule. The
young men will pass through five
hundred forty towns and they are re
ceiving fine receptions in all these towns
by the nuto clubs or other organiza
tions. The Saxon is one of the smallest
and cheapest cars made, but it is mak
ing a run equal to the large, high
priced cars.
