Death of A. J. B. Fairbairn. Mr. A J. B. Fairbairn departed this life Nov. 21st, 1904, at his home in Whiting, Kansas, after a long and painful illness, from a compli cation of diseases, terminating in heart failure. Deceased was born near Staun ton, Augusta county, Virginia, Sep tember 10th, 1838, at which place he learned the printer’s trade. When about twenty years of age he moved with his parents to Santa Fe, Mon roe county, Missouri. At the outbreak of the war he en listed in the 2nd regiment provis ional enrolled Missouri militia, serv ing as second lieutenant in Co.’s N and A. At the close ot the war he agaiu took up the printer’s trade. May 24, 1868, he was united in marriage to Miss Rebecca McPhee ters in St. Joseph, Mo., her pastor, the Rev. Henry Bullard, perform ing the ceremony. To this union two children were born, the first dy ing in infancy, the second, Charles S., was with him in his suffering and death. Deceased lived for al most sixteen years near David City, Neb , and lator moved 10 Sherman county, locating near Rockville. About two years ago, realizing that his health was failing, he moved to Whiting, Kansas, to be near bis only son. Mr. Fairbairn was a good ‘hus band, a loving father and a kind neighbor. He wae a man of clean, pure murals, having the profonndest respect for the Bible and its teach ings and for a'l true Christians. He leaves a wife, one son and an adopt ed daughter, Mrs. Nellie Lee of St. Paul, besides many relatives and friends, to mourn his loss. * Fight for Cheaper Fuel. While tbe people are demanding the enactment of laws and laws, t!ie law that would be of the great est benefit to every resident of the state, has been entirely overlooked, says the Kearney Democrat. That is a sound constitutional law regu lating the price of coal. All coal sold along the lines of the Union Pacific and Burlington in Nebraska is owned by those companies. Rock Springs coal sells for $8,50 a ton in Kearney, while 200 miles east, at Omaha, is sold for $0. A law should be enacted fixing the price of coal at all points between the western state line and Omaha, such graduated scale of prices to be fixed upon the price charged for the same quality of coal in Omaha, the or ganized competitive point in Ne braska. If Rock Springs sells for $0 in Omaha, it should be made by law to sell in Kearney at as much less than $6 as it costs to hall it the distsnce of 200 miles. A law of this character would be of greater benefit to the peop'e of Nebraska than anti-pass and anti-tax laws.— St Paul Republican. To the Patrons of the Schools of Sherman County. Deputy State Superintendent J. L McBrien, has consented to give two days to the school work in this county, and we have made the following ap pointments for him. On Friday evening, Dec. 9, he will deliver an oration at the dedication of the school build ing in Dist. No. 72, four miles southwest of Loup City. On Saturday, Dec. 10, at one o'clock p. m.. at the high school building in Loup City, he will give a talk especially to the teachers, and on Saturday even ing, Dec. 10, he will give a lec ture at Litchfield, Nebr. No admittance fee will be charged. Every body is invited to at tend these meetings. Yours respectfully, R. D. Hendrickson, County Supt. Cattle Rustling. A cattle rustling story bas enact ed itself in this part of the state during the past week, that for cool ness and boldness is not excelled by the wildest days of the frontier. Last Tuesday, a man came to the depot ia this city, and ordered a car to be in readiness on the Thursday following, saying that he was going to ship cattle. The agent described him as a man of average height, poorly dressed, and unshaven face, and a stubby beard covering his face so that he could not tell what he looked like. The car duly arrived, and was set aside for Mr. J. W. Brown, w'hich is the name the man gave. Thurs day morning before daylight some thirty-four head of cattle were load ed into the car, but no one saw them loaded. When day broke some of our citizens saw them and made inquiries concerning them, but no one new anything about : them. No one seemed to take care j of them and the freight soon came and the car started ou its trip to Omaha. Mr Brown signed his contract at the depot, and secured his transportation, but no one saw him get on the train. It afterward developed that he boarded the train at the water tank. J. B. Stone was going to Omaha that day and reports having ridden down with this man Brown, and talking to him for some time. The event was thought no more of till Friday afternoon, when Messrs. Jensen and Crowford came over lrom Clear Creek, and each re ported losing some cattle, out ot their pasture From the de scription given of the cattle lost, and the cattle shipped, it began to dawn apon the minds of our people that these cattle had been stolen and shipped. They could however do nothing as this was Friday, the cattle having been in Omaha, nearly a day. A v. ire wras however sent Cox, Jones & Co., the commission house to which they weie consigned. In the meantime the cattle had reached Omaha and had been sold | by Cox, Jones & Co. Chase Van Als'ine, a member of this firm, who used to live here, and is acquainted here, went to conversing with Brown about the people here and the replies the man gave were very unsatisfactory, and raised the sus picion in Mr. Van Alstine’s mir,d that all might not be right. He therefor refused to pay Brown but 150 of the money, placing the rest of the money in the bank there to the credit of the Arcadia bank, soon afterwards he received the wire from here. Officers in Custer county at once went to work on the case, and by going to the place of the stealing found some men by the name of Fox and Huffman, living in Ansley, had been in the vicinity riding around in the pastures. They set watch over their houses and found that preparations were being made at Chandler’s barn, to drive to Broken Bow. They kept watch and w'hen the train came through, west bound, Huffman got off, al though the train did not stop. He at once went to his home, and Fox, Chandler and he began to make preparations to leave. Before they could do so, Huffman and Fox were arrested. They w’ere taken to BrokenBow where they M ill be tried for cattle stealing. We understand that they had already ordered another car at this place, and an other at Ansley, to be in readiness this week. Arcadians will watch the ievelopements in the cast with a great deal of interest.—Arcadia Champion.
