CREATION OF 4
NEW OFFICE
H. E. Byram Slated for Assistant
General Manager West of
the Missouri River.
Rumors of changes In the Bur
lington official family have been
coming out in the last few days and
Indications are that H. E. Byram,
formerly general Superintendent for
this district and now assistant to
Vice President Williard at Chicago,
is the coming man in charge of the
lines west of the Missouri. It is
said that a new position is to be
created at Omaha, which will be
known as assistant general manager
and that Mr. Bryam will fall heir
thereto. The new position will In
clude general charge of operation of
all the Burlington lines west of the
Missouri river and will divide the
duties now performed by General
Manager Holdrege. The program
which has been laid out for the com
ing year Includes a great deal of
building and construction work and
this will make the burden of the
general manager's office too great for
one man to handle. It is also said
that there is a possibility that the
active management of the Colorado
& Southern will be taken over by
the Burlington and the work direct
ed from the Omaha office, and if this
is the case it Is a certainty that an
other officer in charge of operation
will be necessary. This would make
the Omaha offices headquarters for
a great stretch of road extending
from Omaha and this city to Billings,
Denver and Texllne, Tex., and in
volving many thousand miles of line.
Mr. Byram who is slated for the new
position is one of the best known
men on this section of the Burling
ton and is quite popular with the
company employes. He has been
connected with the system for many
years and is an experienced rail
road man. At present he and Gen
eral Manager Holdrege are making
an Inspection tour of the Billings line
and will extend the tour it is said to
cover all his prospective territory.
County Commissioners.
The county commissioners are In
regular session today and during the
morning they allowed a large num
ber of bills as well as opened the
contracts for bridge work for the
coming year and also for furnish-
ing bonds for the several county
flcials for their new terms. The bids
for bridging are reported to have
been very close, some of the bid
ders being low on one thing while
others were low on another. Among
the firms submitting bids were the
Nebraska Construction company of
Lincoln, the present contractor,
Western Bridge and Construction
company of Omaha, the Canton
Bridge company of Canton, O., F.
L. Freeman, Tecumseh, Neb., Mitch
ell Cowen, Tecumseh, Neb., Mon
arch Construction company of Falls
City and John Gllligan of Falls City.
These several firms were represent
ed by Messrs. Glen Smith of Lin
coln, F. J. Bris8 of Omaha, Ed. M.
Flanagan of Omaha, F. L. Freeman
of Falls City, W. E. Cowen of Falls
City, Charles Thompson of Omaha,
John Gllligan of Falls City and. John
A. Crook of Falls City. The follow
ing named gentlemen had bids In
for furnishing bids for the county
officers bonds, viz: H. G. Wellenslek,
Avoca; W. Kelly Fox, Plattsmouth;
J. M. Leyda, Plattsmouth; Philip
Potter, Omaha; II. E. Palmer, Om
aha; C. G. Frlcke, Plattsmouth and
J. P. Falter, Tlattsmouth.
The commissioners this afternoon
returned all the certified checks ac
companying the bridge bids with the
exception of that of the Nebraska
Construction company, which bid
they have not at this writing 2 p.
m. accepted or rejected. Each bid
der had deposited a certificate check
for $500. No action had been taken
at this time on the bids for bonding
county officers.
A Scrap of History.
Tho following scrap of history ap
peared last week In the Pacific Junc
tion Department of the Glenwood
Tribune. "Charles Kroon tells us
of the fine warm winter of 1879
80, in contrast to the present sort
of weather we are having. Farmers
plowed that year In February. He
was the Junction's only store keep
er nt that time. He enjoyed this
distinction up till tho next August,
when most of the little town of East
Plattsmouth moved to the Junction
and business began to hum. On
August 15, 18S0, tho first trains
crossed the riattsmouth bridge, and
the old ferry was abandoned. Mr.
Kroon states that tho very next day
half the houses in East Plattsmouth
came scooting into the Junction on
flat cars. They were small and It
was not touch of a Job to move
them.

Is He Insane?
A complaint was filed yesterday
with Clerk of the Court Robertson
charging John O'Rouke, a workman
in the stone, quarles near Cedar
Creek with insantly. It appeared
that O'Rourke was In the habit of
quitting work at night and wander
ing away from the quarries and
prowling about the houses in the
neighborhood, scaring the people
who feared his, mania might take
a dangerous turn. He would turn
up at the quarry all right the next
morning and work all right during
the day, disappearing again when
night came on. Sheriff Quinton went
out to the quarries on No. 29 and
Investigated the case, finding
O'Rourke too 111 to be moved. He
found that the man's mind seemed
on the mend and that be was much
better than he had been. He Btated
he would go to the home of his sis
ter at Gretna as soon as his con
dition got so he could be moved
with safety and pending this, the
commission decided to take no fur
ther steps In the case. It Is believed
the man suffered from some passing
delusion and that thb sickness will
clear this away and leave him a well
man.

Burns His Hands.
Gus Swanson, who has been em
ployed In the Burlington paint shop,
yesterday sustained some severe
burns about his hands by a flare
back from a gasoline torch which
he was using. It is part of his du
ties to bur paint off cars which
are in the shop for re-palnting and
for this purpose a torch operated
by compressed air is used. He was
using the torch yesterday when the
air pressure was too strong and the
blaze from the torch flared bacte
from the side of the car and pain
fully burned his hands. He was on
a scaffold and there was no means
for escaping from the blaze until
the pressure was shut off. The in
juries were dressed and are not ne
cessarily dangerous, although they
are exceedingly painful and keep'
him from work for several days.

Agreeably Surprised.
Editor P. A. Barrows of the News
was last evening surprised to re
ceive a visit from his brother-in-law,
C. W. Kesterson, of Albion, Neb. The
gentleman was in Omaha on a sad
mission being compelled to take his
young son to a hospital in that city
for treatment, and he took occasion
to make a run down to this city to
see Mr. Barrows. Mr. Kesterson's
son was recently Injured by being
struck in the eye with a rock thrown
by another boy, and on examination;
it was believed the eye was lost.
To do everything possible to pre
vent this the young man was taken
to Omaha for treatment by Dr. Gif
ford. The eye was badly cut and
Dr. Glfford does not hold out much
hope of saving it. He thinks It
possible to save the appearance of
the eye, however. Mr. Kesterson re
turned to the hospital at Omaha this
morning. Mrs. Barows was called
to Albion at the time of the ac
cident and is now with her ..nephew.
