Last Saturday evening a B. & M. detective brought up a young fellow from Omaha and deposited him in the tender hands of Sheriff Williams on complaint of stealing merchandise from cars in the railroad wreck near Litchfield of two weeks since. The case was brought that same evening before County Judge Pedler on a warrant from the county attorney and he was given 15 days in the coun ty jail. The culprit acknowledged he was on the train at the time of the wreck, as care-taker for sv number of cars of sheep bound for Omaha, that he found a bundle of merchandise in the weeds by the side of the track after the wreck, which he appropriat ed and later in Omaha tried to dis pose of the stuff when he was nabbed. The foot ball game of last Saturday afternoon between the high school eleven and a picked team from the city came to a disastrous ending when the captain of the high school aggre gation got miffed over the decision of the referee and called the game off after about two-thirds played. We do not know as to the merits of the dispute, but judging from general comment it were better had the di> gruntled boys quietly acquiesced in the decision and played through to the end, as the game was gotten up merely to give the regular eleven some needed practice, and would have made very little difference to all con cerned over the result, and a better feeling toward the regular team when they go into future contests.

The Northwestern wishes them a most pleiasant vacation. An incipient blaze in the home of G. W. Collipriest, our popular U. P. agent, last Friday evening, was only prevented from destroying the house and contents by prompt action oh his part. About 9 o'clock in the evening while in the sitting room after the children had been put to sleep. Mrs. Collipriest accidently tipped over the lamp, which fell to the floor and breaking its contents immediately produced a blaze that reached to the ceiling, wrapping the curtains in flames. Mrs. Collipriest carried the sleeping children into the open air, while George threw comforts, quilts, etc., upon the flames and with the aid of Mrs. Collipriest soon had them smothered, with only scorched car pets, ceiling and the person of Mr. Collipriest burned about the face, arms and hands as: the final result. It was a lucky ending of what might have not only retulted in the des truction of the house and contents, but serious if not fatal injury to Mr. Collipriest, who at one time was en veloped from foot to head in flames, which became smothered, how he could not tell.
