caught in tho- rapidly revolving cyl

Ask For Police Protection.
At the meotlng of the city council
Tuesdtfy evening a petition signed by
forty-three residents of the Fourth
ward was presented, asking that a
night policeman bo employed to patrol
that ward. Recent burglaries and oth
er depredations committed In that sec
tion have more or less amrmeu tue
jesldents, hence the request for police
protection. The mattor was referred
to tho finance committee who will re
port whether the general fund will
stand an additional expenditure of sixty-five
dollars a month. The Fourth
ward people are unquestionably en
titled to the protection they ask, and
tlin rniinntl will no doubt make SOIIIO
arrnngement to safeguard their prop
erty.

An unknown man entered the York
feed store yeatorduy morning about
ten-thirty and committed one of tho
most daring robberies that has ever
been pulled off in this city. Ho suc
ceeded In getting away with nbout
twenty-five dollars in change but failed
to see a pocketbook containing a num
ber of bills that was lying in tho draw
er. Up to the present time no arrests
have been mad.
Mr. "York was away from tho store
less than three minutes nnd found up
on his return that tho robbery had
been committed. As he left tho build
ing he noticed, as ho remembered af
ter the robbery, a strange man stand
ing near his store watching operations
on tho now IJratt building. Tho man
had been standing there for half an
hour or moro nnd he thought nothing
of it.
During Mr. York's absence the man
stepped into tho store and went to tho
money drawer and Jerked It down ns
ho could not work the combination.
The robbery was discovered as soon
ns Mr. York returned and tho officers
were set on the hunt of tlv man who
Is described as being of medium build
and wearing u black hat and a dark
suit.

.North Platte has Consumed. Fifteen
Cars of Peaches so far this Season
Last Wednesday a carload of Colorado peaches was re
ceived by T M. Cohagen the distributing agent, the fifteenth car
load received this season. When you consider that there are
1200 cases or their equivalent in basketsin a car, you have a
total of 18,000 cases. When you ponder over these figures you
will at once conclude that the people of North Platte and sur
rounding country are fond of this fruit. Tho early shipments
of peaches came from California, then followed the Idaho crop,
and those now arriving come from Colorado.
In Addiion to the carload of peaches, Mr. Cohagen received
the same day a carload of Colorado apples and a carload of
Michigan grapes. This is the third carload of grapes so far
this season, and the season is just starting. A car contains
3200 baskets.
