State Auditor Weston linn ninde pub
lic a report of thti condition of the
.Kearney county treasurer office,
hliowiiiff a shortage of $10,011.07 in the
nccounts of Treasurer Alfred B. Nor
lin, who says lie was held up and
robbed of this amount last week. The
auditor and the examiners refused to
comment on the robbery, further tTian
to say that the shortage was in the
cash account and that there was no
way of determining whether or not all
of the money was taken at one time.
Norlin's story is that while sitting in
his office about 8:15 p. in. he was
clubbed into insensibility and that
when he regained consciousness he
found that the cash box had been
robbed nnd u llro started, which was
rapidly spreading about the interior
of the room. As to the fire, his story
is confirmed by firemen nnd others
who hastened to the scene at the first
Jilurm. Mr. Norlin is said to be in a
.serious condition physically and his
physicians express fear that his brain
has been permanently affected.
"Vontrii Xrhrutiliu Timber.
A field party of the United States
bureau of forestry was organized nt
Kearney to investigate forest condi
tions and possibilities in western Ne
braska. The party will proceed up the
IMatte river, examining the timber on
nil streams within reach. Upon ar
riving at the west line of the state
a, northward course will be taken
through Scotts Bluff nnd Sioux coun
ties. Later in the season study will
be made of the sandhills to determine
their adaptability to timber. The
nucccss of a pine plantation estab
lished by the government 11 years
ago in the sandhills of Holt county
has led to the belief that pines are
adapted to large areas in the sand
hills. Dauocr Falln to HIm Dontli.

ADVENTURES OP A 0.UEER BOY
Hla Strange Visit to DneklnKham
1'nlBce Early In Uucoit Vic
toria' llelun.
Amid the flood of anecdotes con
nected with the Into queen and royal
family that has been pouring through
the columns of the press, I do not
think nnyono has called attention to
tho ndventuro of the "boy Jones,'
at Buckingham palace, a few years
after the queen's marriage, says Ed
ward Vizettclly, in London Frco
Lance. This young fellow was twico
caught within the roynl residence,
without nnyone being ablo to ex
plain how he got there. On the first
occasion he was surprised by a por
ter early in the morning leisurely
surveying one of the apartments. On
being searched, nothing of impor
tance wns found upon him, but ho
had made up n bundle containing a
sword, n pot of bear's grease, and
some old letters.
He was covered with soot, from
head to foot, and looked like a sweep,
but denied that such was his call
ing, pointing out that his sooty ap
pearance was duo to his having con
cealed himself in chimneys in tho
daytime. For awhile he had occu
pied the vacant .bedroom of one of
the equerries, and had left the sooty
imprints of his frame on the sheets.
lie stoutly declared that his intru
I sion wns not for the purpose of theft,
1 but to find out how royalty nnd tho
"great swells" like roynl footmen
lived. His examination before tho
magistrate created great amusement.
He admitted that he had been in tho
I pnlncc on previous oensions, nnd for
days together. In fact, he had "put
up there," he said. He had found it
n very comfortable place. Tho
apartment he liked best was tho
drawing-room. During the da' he
hid - behind tho furniture, when he
was not up a chimney, but late at
night, when everyone had gone to
bed, he walked about, went into tho
kitchen, and got his food. Then ho
related that lie had seen the queen
nnd her ministers in council, and had
listened to all they had to say. When
asked if he had worn the same shirt
all tho time ho calmly replied: "Yes,
when it was dirty T washed it in
the kitchen." And then he volun
teered the information that ho knew
his way all over the palace, and had
been right through it in the queen's
apartments nnd all. He had found out
that her mojesty was very fond of
politics, he said.
This lad revealed himself1 ouch n
pleasant vagabond, with his amus
ing ways and astounding impudence,
that no very serious punishment was
inflicted on him. He was merely put
nway for a short term. Nor did ho
fare very badly when caught a sec
ond time. On this occasion he was
caught crouching in a recess, and, be
ing dragged out of it, was takcri to
the police station. Ho then told tho
magistrate that he had concealed
himself under a safe in one of the
queen's private apartments, and had
overheard a long conversation be
tween her majesty and Prince Albert.
He wnssent to the house of correc
tion for a few months, in the hopo
of breaking him of the mania for in
truding on the sovereign's privacy, as
the offense was mildly termed. But
soon after his release he was found
prowling in the vicinity of the palace.
Finally the authorities induced him
to emigrate to Austral Ja, where ho
evidently blossomed into u well-to-do
colonist. Tt wns soon after these
events that Baron Stockmnr was
brought over hero to introduce order
and discipline into the roywl residence.
