Complaint was made to the county attorney and a war rant was soon issued from Judge Iiecsnn's court on a complaint filed hy the county attorney, charging Owens with causing. the delinquency of his son. The boy was allowed to go to his home last evening, hut his father was detained at the county jail. This morning he was ar raigned before Judge Ueeson on the charge above mentioned, and pleaded guilty.

MYSTERIOUS EXPLO SIOjUASI NIGHT Which Startled Many of Our Citizens, the Majority of Whom Had Retired for the Night From Friday' Dally. A mysterious explosion occur red la.t night about 10:30, which startled many people of Platts iimutli who chanced to be awake. The concussion jarred the win dows in most of the residences in town and people rushed to their windows and heads protruded to investigate the source of the noise. John Cory was sitting in his hotel ollice when the jar and noise was heard, and it appeared to come from the vicinity of the Burlington bridge, and the noise was attributed to the explosion of an underground gasoline tank. It was rumored on the street this morning that an oil tank in the shops had exploded, but in vestigation contradicted this rumor. The explosion was heard as clearly at l'acitlc Junction as in Plattsmouth. Will (irebe and Carl Kopishke were sitting on the later's porch at the time ami had a good view of the river. Will noticed the flash, which appeared to roll up from the center of the river near the bridge, and it ascended 200 or 30(1 feet. Will remarked to Mr. Kopischke that it was lightning, anyway. But when the report came it. was the shock of exploded dynamite, and both Will and his companion agreed that the noise was from dynamite. He says that it might have been located a mile east of the river, it being dark, so he could not be certain as to the exact location. Roy Holly and bis companions, sleeping in their lent by the Bur lington bridge, were not disturbed by the reporl, but those who were awake and heard the windows rat tle and felt the earth tremble, would like to solve the mystery surrounding Ihe explosion. Lig Brown rtf Kenosha was in town this morning and says the bank at that place was intact when he left and that the rumor that'an attempt was made to blow it up last night is a fake, although he bad noticed some of the Platts niouth fellows prowling about there lately. Red Men Not Responsible. From Friday's Dally. The Red Men held their regular meeting last night at their lodge room in this city. Eor fear the public may not understand, tho lodge wants it staled in the paper that the Red Men are in no way responsible for the carnival that is being conducted on the streets every night. The proprietors of it are paying a license, to the city and are running entirely on their own hook. The Red Men did ap ply fur permission for the Mid West Carnival company to oc cupy the streets for a week, com mencing July 8, but that concern dissolved partnership and the Red Men canceled the contract with its manager. The present company is under a different management and has no arrangements what ever with the Red Men. Harold Straight Promoted. Harold Streight, who has been express messenger -running from Chicago to Omaha on the Bur lington, has been promoted, and in the future will have a run both ways, the same as his brother, Monte. The promotion will mean a substantial increase in salary and a day lay-over at each end of the run.
