An attempt was mide a few days ago
to wreck a Union Pacific passenger
train near Y'alverde. Colo. The train
was running about twenty miles an
hour when the engineer haw that the
switch at Valverde was turned. He
reversed his engine just as the train
struck the switch. A bar of iron had
been wedged in the frog of the switch.
It is thought that it was a bold at
tempt at train-wrecking, with a view
of robbery.

sentenced some time ago to fifteen

Doc Lamont, alias Blanchard, who
was taken to the penitentiary Thurs
day morning from Omaha, came near
escaping from the county jail Wednes
day night. After supper he concealed
himself behind a table and on a bench
that was next to the wall. All the
clls are closed at once by a lever and
Lamont was supposed to be in bis cell.
Thursday morning he was discovered
on top of the cell bouse trying to cut
his way out through the roof.
The meeting of the Associated
Charities held last Sunday afternoon
in the Presbyterian church was un
usually well attended. Reports from
officers and committees show the work
to be in a very flourishing condition.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon the city council to secure, if pos
sible, employment on the streets for
the idle men wh are willing to work,
even at small compensation. Another
committee was solicited to wait upon
the county commissioners to secure
more fully their co-operation in the
work of caring for the poor.
During the past week Harry Hill,
the murderer confined in the county
jail under sentence of death, hasmade
frequent requests of the jailor and
guards that they furnish him a razor,
in order that he might shave himself.
But his requests have been refused,
because it was feared that be might
conclude to relieve the sheriff of a
disagreeable job, and shave himself a
trifle too deep. John Kuuney, the
barber, was called to tbe jail on Sunday
morning to perform the tonsorial
operation for Mr. Hill, but even then
the authorities would not take any
chances, and securely hand-cuffed the
condemned man before the razor was
allowed to touch his face.
Col. Poke's case of tremens over
those blanks for th sheriff's office was
out of order. The colonel happened to
notice a Journal, attache Thursday
going into the sheriffs with an arm
load of bundles and he grew premature
and insisted in his sheet of last week
that the bundles contained blanks for
the sheriff. Out of the seven bundles,
five were for other county otBcials, and
the remaining two, while they were
for the sheriff's office, were the final
lelivery of a job, the first of which
was printed almost two months ago.
Col. Poke should be the last man on
.hisearth to institute a baseless attack
n Sheriff Tighe, for without the
sheriff's generosity the colonel would
not be able to sport a time-piece.
Further comment is not for the present
necessary on the latter score.

An Omaha saloonkeeper deliberately

and in his frenzy at being unable to
find out in which paper it was legal,
committed the awful deed.
