W. J. Crusen 1'itsscs Aiiny.
A telegram received In town Satur
day .nnounred tl c death of Win .1,
Crusen at Huntington Park, a suburb
of Los Angolos. Death was duo to
dropsical affection, with Which he had
been afflicted for about a year, and
which for six or dight months made
him practically helpless.
Tho deceased came to North Platte
from Torre Haute, Ind about thirty
oars ago and accopted employment
as cnglneor on tho Union Pacific. Ho
continued In this sorvico until a few
years ago when ho was retired on a
pension. Eighteen months ago ho with
his wife removed to California where
they purchased a small fruit farm
and whero they had sinco resided.
Mr. Crusen was a veteran of tho
civil war, having seen threo years of
actlvo service, and always took an
activo part and great interest in tho
Grand Army of tho Republic.
As a citizen ho was ono of our best,
as a christian he was sincere, prac
tical in his christian views and works,
rind "'for twenty years or more as
sisted in evangelistic work in towns
in western Nebraska Ho becamo con
verted about the same time as did
Rov. Crane who died in Los Angeles
last week, tho two were moro or less
associated in evangelistic work, and
the body of Mr. Crusen will ho laid
to rest along side of that of Rev.
Crane, who was burled last Friday.
Tho deceased Ib survived by a wife,
a daughter, Mrs. York- Hlnman, and a
brother, James Crusen. Tho latter Is
now In California suffering from can
cer that will sooner or later result
in his passing. It is the intention of
Mrs. Crusen, wo understand, to re
main in California and tako caro of
this, brother, Mr. Cuson expressing this
wish before ho passed on.
Paving- Sentiment Increasing.
Sentiment favorable to having our
business streets paved is crystalizlng;
the more people study tho situation tho
moro thoroughly aro they convinced
that paved streets Is a matter of
economy The citizens who are lnves
tigatlng the best material to bo used
find that brick Is the almost universal
favorite in tho smaller cities. It has
also been ascertained that brick pav
ing in North Platte will cost about
2.35 per snuaro yard. All tho city
is required to pave arc the street in
terscctions and the alley connections,
tho property owners have tho remain
der at their own cost. Practically all
tho , property owners on Dewey street
aro favorable to paving; if they are
willing to do this, certainly tho prop
erty owners at largo should be will
ing to vote bonds to have tho Inter
sections.
When you consider tho amount of
money that is spent every year in
dragging Dewey street, in blading it,
In hauling In dirt, in cleaning tho mud
out along the curb line, you must con
cludo that this sum would pay tho
Interest oh the bonds and in addition
create a sinking fund to pay the bonds
This, without taking into considera
tion the beauty and pride of having a
paved street
