Western Railway company held at
this place it wa« decided to push fch
work of securing t e right of way and
immediately aLt^nd to the prelim
inaries preparatory to active construc

pushing this enterpH^e makes tie
outlook exceedingly bright that tlie
s\ year IMS will see this road in opera

Taken to the Asylum.
On Friday afternoon of last week,
Frank Fulliton, a son of an old gen
tleman living near Austin, was
brought before the commissioners of
insanity of this county and after a
hairing of his condition from various
witnesses and a careful consideration
of the case, wes ordered committed
to the asylum at Hastings. Hie boy
is perhaps 18 to 20 years of age, the
oldest son at home and the mainstaj
of his aged parents, and his condition
seems brought about by overwork and
worry over the financial conditions at
home causing loss of sleep and suc
ceeding mental depression. He is
known as a most indefatigable worker,
whose energy was too great for his
bodily and mental strength, resulting
as aforesaid. It is thought a period
of rest and refrain from work and
worry will bring about his complete
recovery. Sheriff Williams took him
to Hastings Saturday morning.
Injured in Runaway.
A man named Neisner, living a few
miles south of Loup City, near Andy
Gray’s, was thrown from a load of
hay' by a runaway team last Friday.
He was rendered unconscious and did
not recover till he found himself at
home and in bed. He was unable to
give any account of the accident save
that he was trying to stop his run
away team, and the next thing he
knew he was at home and laid up for
repairs. He was not seriously injured.
Shot Wrong Game.
One day last week, while the
15-year-old’ son of Herbert Ely was
out hunting, he stopped to talk to
some companions and rested his gun
with the barrel on one foot, when in
some manner the contents were dis
charged, just missing carrying away
one of his big toes. It is supposed
he unconsciously pulled the trigger
in fondling the miniature cannon.
