Wxt Jtorth THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NER, MAY 15, 1917.. No. 35 VANDALISM IX DESTRUCTION OF FLOWEK BEDS Lovors ami growers of flowors will no doubt bo "lighting mad" when learning that last night miscreants entered the lawn of Ray C. Longford and pulled up by tho roots or other wise destroyed eight dozen tulip plants that 'wtorc In bloom. This Is tho second tlmo Mr. Longford's promises havo been visited, tho other time n dozon or more pansy plants wore pulled out by tho roots and carried off. Early this morning as Tho Trib une man camo down town ho noticed a dozon or moro tulips scattorcd along Fourth streot. Whether theso were I part of tho Langford bed or from oth er beds is not known. Flowors at best aro rather difficult to grow in North Platto, and those of us who delight in growing them for tho pleasure of ourselves and othors, devoting both etfponso and tlmo to their dovolopmont, naturally resent such mean, desplcablo work as has "been practiced on Mr. Langford. You may bo excuisod If you enter tho Bare homo and steal such money nnd prop erty as you may And, but If his llowor beds aro despoiled ho will never lot up on a hunt for tho black-henrtod son-of-a-gun who is so nbsolutoly void of manhood as to do such work. :o: :- Union ItroUierliood Meeting.

The above arc the only additions to North Platte, on the market, where residence lots are improved with cement sidewalks, water and gas mains, graded streets, and sewer. The sewer is much deeper in the ground, because the sewer system runs eastward, hence deeper hasemenls may be built in this part of the city. These improvements make these lots the most modem and sanitary of any in the city. Many beautiful homes have already been built, and others will be built, in the near future, in these additions. The location too, is gootl, the lots being in the best additions to the city and being but from 7 to 10 blocks east of Dewey street. To reach the business district it will never be necessary to cross railroad tracks, whether the Burlington builds or not. ' Tho everything else has advanced in price, these lots have not yet done so, but may soon. All the lots shown upon above map, which have prices marked tlicrcon, arc for sale at said prices. All other lots Iruve been sold. A 5$ discount will be given for cash, or lots will be sold on easy terms to suit pur chaser. For Sale Hy WM. E. SHUMAN. 1
