Are Now 44 Af Home." j
After Home months waiting the family j
of I). W. Foster are "at home" once i
more, having moved into their elegant j
new residence on Monday. It will he
remembered that on the 1.1th of last I
April Mr. Foster's farm residence with
most of the contents was destroyed by
fire, and establishing a t-irixrary home
on a farm he owns in Otoe county he j
began planning the erection of a new i
residence on the site of the one burned.
The result is he now has a splendid
farm residence with all modern conven
iences connected therewith. L. (I. Lar
son of l'lattsmouth was the contractor,
which is an assurance that every detail
of the work was properly done. Union

sons for whom they were intended is
one of the unusual conditions which is
faced by an Omaha bank at this time
as the result of the larceny of two sacks
of mail from the United States mail
wagon last week.
It so happened that at the time the
mail pouches were stolen a number of
the customers of this bank had sent
out pay-checks to traveling men and
other correspondents in different parts
of the country. The amount of each
check was comparatively small, but the
aggregate was larger than the bank
manager likes to think about until the
trouble is over. A complete record of
each paper was kept at the bank, and
as soon as it was known that the pouch
es would not be recovered intact the
The Boy and Gun.
The careless handling of a shotgun by
Noble Masters, a 16-year-old boy, while
hunting rabbits on the Platte river bot
tows last Saturday cost him the loss of
the second finger of his right hand.
He was walking through some hazel
brush and unthoiightedly stuck his finger
in the gun barrel. It is thought that
the trigger caught on a twig and as a
result the finger was blown otr down to
the nuckle joint.
Noble displayed more grit than would
seem possible on an occasion so fright
ful. "Well, wouldn't that freeze you,"
was the only explanation of surprise
made to his companions when he looked
at his disabled hand. He walked to the
farm house of Nate Hazen, where a
physician was telephoned for and he
was then brought to town, where the
stump of the finger was entirely re
moved. He is getting along nicely.

3HTOS3P3E CO., Omaha, Hob-
State Railway Commission Will Take
Hand in n1an!cy Scrap.
In speaking of the J.Ianley elevator
case the Sunday Lincoln Star says:
"The state railway commission is work
ing on an order that will compel the
Missouri Pacific railroad to build a side
track to the elevator of the Alanley Co
operative Grain company of Manley.
The commissioners have agreed on the
order and Commissioner Williams has
been delegated to write it. The track
ordered built will be 250 feet in length
and will cost $430.
The Missouri Pacific attorneys have
consistently insisted that the state rail
way commission has no authority to
compel it to build a foot of track to any
elevator along its line, although the
state law may say otherwise. In sup
port of its contention that the Carsh
elevator law contravenes the interstate
commerce law, the Missouri Pacific has
prepared an extensive brief and has
sent its ablest lawyers to Nebraska to
argue for its contention. Because the
Missouri Pacific is an interstate carrier
and the act to regulate commerce gives
the interstate commission power to
regulate interstate carriers, the attor
neys for the Missouri Pacific have re
fused to admit the jurisdiction of the
state railway commission to make it
build this block of track.
The Manley Co-operative Grain asso
ciation was organized by the farmers
and they asked for a position on the
right-of-way, but the railroad refused
it. The association then purchased land
close to the right-of-way of the road
and built its elevator. Then it demand
ed a sidetrack built to the elevator. In
the district court the grain association
won and secured a judgment for $500
damages. The case was appealed to
the supreme court and to expedite mat
ters, was taken to the railway commis
sion. The order will be issued early
this week.

Brantner Gets Damages.
On St. Valentine's Day, 1903, while
working in the capacity of switchman
in the yards of the Burlington at Pa
cific Junction, Iowa, Ed. Brantner got
caught between two engines, clearly
through the negligence of the company.
At the time of the accident, the most
eminent practitioners said that it was
an utter impossibility for him to get
well and that he could only live a short
time. But with the courage of a
Trojan, and the constitution of an
earnest, active American, which he is,
he rallied and clinging to the hope of
life, though handicapped with a
crushed hip bone, he was finally the
winner, though leaving him so that
it has been impossible for him to place
the foot on the injured side on the
ground.
As soon as he was so he could be
gotten out of his bed and onto crutches,
which he has had to stay with ever
since, he began action against the
Burlington for recovery for damages
received.
With his attorney, Matthew Gering,
they have fought the case through a
number courts from one to another,
finally arriving at the top one, from
which there was no appeal, with the
judgment in their favor, for a sum of
$9,045.37.
Last Friday he went with his attor
ney to Glen wood where the money had
been paid into court, to draw the same,
and found that an attorney whom they
had employed at that place had placed
an attachment thereon for the sum of
$1,350. Upon inquiry as to the matter
of the items for which this claim was
filed it was found that the attorney
wanted to enforce the collection of
$150 against someone whom he had
charged the amount for services ren
dered in the Wm. -Webb case. This
was immediately released, but still left
$1,200 charged against Mr. Brantner,
with an absolute contract for the ser
vices to be $200. This ties up $1,000 of
Mr. Brantner's money, for which he
will give bond and have released.
Ed. has fought this case long and at
this time it is not to be supposed that
he will lay down and allow anyone to
claim a portion of the money who has
no claim thereon for services rendered
him.
" Big Dick " Taking a Rest.
The Burlington engine, No. 3191,
known among the railroad fraternity as
"Big Dick," that had been in use at
this point for some time as a switch
engine, has been substituted at this
place by No. 3116, a very large engine,
almost as powerful, that has been in
use for some time at Germantown, west
of Lincoln, as a pusher on the hill, will
