Effects Time of Arrival of Trains
Here to Some Extent.
CHEAT NORTHERNERS ON“HUNT”
Stop at Brunswick and Look Over
the Norfolk-Yankton Grade
During Their Stay. ,
The Chicago and Northwestern
train service has been undergoingsome
changes which effects the time ot
arrival and departure here. The even
ing passenger from the east is now
designated as No. 11 and arrives hen
ten minutes later than formerly, iis
time being 10:15. The afternoon
passenger is scheduled at .3:35 instead
of 2:50. The early morning passenger
from Long Pine arrives ten minutes
earlier, at 3:35.
These changes and others can be
noted in the Northwestern time card
in The Frontier.
The routing of the passenger trains
from Chicago to the Black Hills was
changed Sunday so that the trains
will go through Omaha instead of by
way of Missouri Valley and Fremont.
Omaha has been attempting for a
long time to secure tills change, The
Northwestern also abandoned the use
of its old Webster street passenger
station in Omaha and will run all its
trains into the Union station.
The railroad company will remove
the operating department of the Ne
braska and Wyoming division, which
formerly was known as the Elkhorn
road, from Omaha to Norfolk. Charles
C. Hughes, general superintendent
of the division,who was general super
intendent for*the old Elkhorn and
Sioux City and Pacific, will remove
from Omaha to Norfolk and take his
office force.
Great North, rn Movements.
Press dispatches announced the first
of the week that a party of Greal
Northern officials had come to O’Neill
on a chicken hunting expedition.
They did not come to O’Neill at all,
but stopped at Brunswick ostensibly
as a hunting party, but the real object
was to scan their official railroad eye
over the old Norfolk-Yankton grade,
maybe with some sort of intention to
connect Yankton with the Short Line
at about Plainview.

Springview Herald: Fred Robinson
was arrested at Mills this morning on
the charge of disposing of mortgaged
property. It seems that Robinson
secured large loans from the I irst
National Bank of Stuart, on some
cattle which he drove to the reserva
tion and sold. Weaver, the president
of the bank, met Robinson at Snod
grass’ last week and a settlement was
reached, but before the final papers
were completed Robinson left in the
middle of the night and has been on
the reservation since. Weaver swore
out a warrant and they caught him
this morning.

Notes From Elsewhere
A most enjoyable event was the
birth-day surprise party for Mrs. E. E.
Perrin which occurred atthe residence
of her mother, Mrs. M. J. Sageser, a
week ago last Tuesday evening, says
the Chambers Bugle. Mrs. Perrin
was presented with a large French
Bevel Plate mirror by her friends.
D. G Roll has lost eight head of
cattle this week in a manner that
from all indications he is led to believe
they were poisoned by some vegetable
matter they eat while feeding in the
cornstalks, says the Ewing Advocate
Dr. Tanner examined several, and he
says there was no indicat ion of bad
effect from the stalks they had eaten,
but the lining of the intestinesshowed
very clearly that some vegetable
poison was the cause of death.
Graphic: Citizens of Atkinson and
vicinity are glad to learn that Mrs. H.
A. Allen returned Tuesday from the
hospital, apparently in perfect health.
.We regret to chronicle the death
• if Osborn P. Shreve, and old timer in
this county and a highly respected
resident in the vicinity of Inez. Mr
Shreve was a sufferer from paralysis,
ind the fatal attack came bust Friday
it 11:13 p. m. His infirmity was first
caused by a fall from a load of hay
ibout two years ago, since which time
lie has constantly been in poor health.
He died at the age of 51 years, 4
months and 3 days, and the remains
were sent to Central City for inter
menf Monday morning, at which place
he has a son buried.

against the boys. The shooting and
gun pulling was done with a revolver
and shotgun, but just vvliat the intent
was the boys do not say oilier than
they intended to injure no one Sus
picion of incorrigibility and evil ways
h is rested upon the boys for some
time owing to conduct resulting
largely from wrong associates and
schooling in a like direct iop.
Their hearing will be had before
County Judge Morgan Friday. Mean
time they will remain in jail and it is
to be hoped the experience will im
press upon their youthful minds the
lesson that the ways of the
well behaved are much more
pleasant and profitable.

The annual losses in cattle through
the unknown, undiscovered and
probably remediless “corn stalk
disease” are now being felt by farmers
not only in this section but all over
the state. We have heard of several
men in the vicinity of O’Neill that
are losers from tliissourse to the ex
tent. of anywhere from one to ten
head of cattle. It seems about the
only safe and sure way to prevent
losses from this cause is to keep the
j cattle away from corn stalks.
“MINING’'MAN GETS CASH
Mrs. Stepheson Loses Her Money and
Gets No Husband.
DISASTROUS MATRIMONY MISSION
Goes to Pennsylvania to Meet Her
“Catch,” Who Flees With
Her Purse.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 20— A woman
aged about 50 years, giving her name
as Mrs. Lawrence Stephenson of
Beatrice, Neb . today called on de
tectives to help her catch James Rod
gers, who had secured all her money,
about $450 and had left her stranded.
She met him in Nebraska and he had
charmed her during a visit to New
Orleans. She promised to marry Rod
gers, who was 48, and owned mines in
California. She gave him her pitcure,
but she failed to get his. He went to
New York and she to her son’s home
in O’Neill, Neo. He wrote to her to
meet him in Pittsburg, where he had
to stop to buy mining machinery.
They were to have been married No
vember 18. Rodgers arrived a day
late. He was in a hurry to close up
some deal and had to have cash. She
gave it to him and he disappeared
As the police did not like to suggest
that Mrs. Stephenson might pawn her
gold watch she remained with the
matron at Central policy station. Site
said her husband died four years ago,
leaving her an estate in Nebraska.
Mrs. Stephenson has no son in
O’Neill. Hef brother, John Rogers,
to whom tlie above “son” probably
refers, resides here. Mr. Rogers was
formerly employed at the Brittell
met market but is now engaged in
carpenter work. Ilis sister had been
here most of the summer and left only
a short time ago. She had told Mr
Rogers nothing of her prospective
marriage and said she was going to
Hot Springs, Ark. She had quietly
informed Mr. Rogers’ daughter, how
ever, of the prospected nuptils with
the man of California mines and the
day after Mrs. Stephenson’s departure
her brother was aprised of the same.
Mr. Rogers heard nothing more
from his sister until he saw the abovo
dispatch. He said to a friend that
she did not have quite as much money
witli her as stated in the dispatch.
She had taken about $400 from here,
from which would have to be deducted
traveling expenses to Pittsburg.
Mrs. Stephenson made her home
with her brother while in O’Neill.
The evening before her departure she
was reading the account of a “gold
brick” experience in a newspaper
which elicited a decided coinmqnt
from her lips that nobody could take
her in thusly. Mr. Rogers is now of
the opinion that his sister lias been
handed one of those gold bricks of
which she had been reading.
