It would lie impossible at this time to pick the winner as several of the contestants a re running so close and working so hard that it looks like a horse race to the finish with no one willing to take a chance on who will come under the w ire first. Winners of the Special Prizes The winners of the last special that .closed yesterday were: Mrs. H. N. Ojendyk, Mrs. Emma Daddow, Win nie Gasteyer, Lena Zwink, Beulah Ford, Mayme Adamson and Jessie Ogle, in the order named. New subscribers aiye coming in daily and the Northwestern lias added a fine bunch of Sherman county readers i to its already large list, i Get busy it may be a long time be 1 fore you again have a chance to win a EokL Run-about car. If you w orked. hard for twelve hours a day from now on till the end of the contest and won the auto you would be making big money. Don't put off getting to work—do it now. Go after the fel lows who owe subscription and get big payments. A few. S5 and *10 sub scriptions would boost your vote amazingly. The Northwestern is the official county paper and will print all of the county commissioners proceed ings, road notices, delinquent tax list and county treasurer's reports besides every other item of official news from the county seat. Many dollars worth of new type, machinery and other equipment have already been bought by the North estern and it is their intention to make it one of the best county seat papers in Nebraska. It is a mighty good time to enroll as a read er of the Northwestern and it is a mighty good time for ’t he girls to get busy and solicit subscription, when they stand a chance of winning a *050 automobile. .• -- . - - i.

Railroad Employes A bombshell was exploded among railroad employes along this branch last week when a lot of the train boys, conductors and brakemen, were ar rested for alleged pilfering of freight consigned to merchants in various towns along this and other lines of the B. &. M. running out of Aurora. Jim Malone, chief of detectives of the B. & M., cinched some twelve in one day at Aurora who pleaded guilty of the theft game and were fined in amounts ranging from $20 to $50. One of the employes, C. F. Peterson, who has been a regular brakeman on this branch, and who confessed early in the game, got off with only a $5 tine. Another of the bunch is a man named Dingman, who has been reg ularly running on the Sargent branch, who got his for evil doing. The others named are running on other lines and their arrest and yielding up of dough is not of local interest. One sad feature of the case comes from Sar gent, as per report, being a young son of the agent at Sargent, who in pass ing through the third degree, acknow edged to receiving a bottle of whiskey from other fellows who had broken into freight stuff, and he was lined $50 and of course let out. The boy was put through the degree to make him implicate his father, the agent, but failed. It is said that the whole game worked by Malone was a “hold up,” as no warrants were issued, and the detective and his men just simply “bulled” confessions from the culprits, by the severe “third degree,” which, however, proved efficacious. At Aurora it is said that the detec tives went to the houses of suspected employes and made systematic search, in some cases compelling the house wives to take off their shoes and dis play their hosiery in an effort to as certain whether they were a part of the stolen property. The pilfering of merchandise has been increasing at an alarming rate of late, our Loup City merchants com plaining bitterly that they have had their merchandise of all kinds brought to them with the boxes broken open and portions of the contents gone. Goods taken include cigars, whisky, men’s and women’s clothing of every sort, tools, canned goods, groceries, meats, shoes, household furnishings, fruits, etc., and seemed on the in crease day by day. Agent Danielson at this place hat been between the devil and the deeg i sea in his go between the company and the outraged merchants, and liai > been kept busy registering complaint* and seeking justice to our merchants j He acknowledges that the pilfering ' of cars and contents has reached sucl a stage that it was simply frightful, and he lias often felt as though any situation outside of a bedeviled agent's life would approach exceedingly nearer a heaven of peace than existing cir cumstances. It is said that the arrest, fines and discharges of employes have not fairly begun as yet, and that scores more are yet forthcoming. Detective Ma lone is quoted by the Lincpln Journal as saying: liThe minor offense was preferred against some of these men. Other charges against other men are to be filed next week. There are at least eight cases to be taken to court. Of this number, possibly four will land in federal court under the new law that gives federal courts jurisdiction in burglary cases where interstate shipments are carried in cars robbed. It is the most serious cleanup of car robberies we have ever been forced to make. Between forty and fifty men have been implicated or have had knowledge of thefts, the number being largely trainmen on the Wymore, Lin coln and Omaha Divisions of the road. During the past year twenty men have been sent to prison for robberies on the lines west of Ravenna, but none of these were railroad employes. We have turned our attention to dis honest employes and have found a few.” Keckly Bill Killed Will B. & M. \ Gig Back Last Wednesday afternoon the Com mercial Club of this city was called in extra session to discuss their atti tude on the Keckly bill in the pres ent legislature, which provided for a flat reduction in freight rates of 20 percent. A Mr. Lewin, of Comstock, was present and in a few words pro tested against the keckly bill as one if made into law would have the effect of putting a stop to many improve ments along railroad lines in the state. He stated that he had it from Frank Curry of Broken Bow, who had been in consultation with the leading officials of the B. & M., in this state, that the passage of this bill would have the effect of putting a stop on all extension on railroads in this state: ’that if the bill was killed, the B. & M., for instance, would at an early date build across from the main line of the Black Hills route at Cairo tc Boelus and on up to Loup City, con necting with the Burlington here and build the spur between Sargent 1 and Dunning, making this the maic 1 line of the Burlington from Kansas City, S. Joe, Lincoln and Granddslanc ' on up through Loup City to Sargent 'j thence connecting with the present line at Dunning and on to the Pacific Coast, splendid if true, and dazzling to the future prospects of this par ticular portion of the Sargent branch. The matter was discussed pro and con and finally winding up in a close vote in favor of a resolution against the Keckly bill and expressing confi dence in our present railway com mission to see that we have justice in all railway matters. Later—The lower house of the leg islature killed the Keckly bill on Thursday, deciding to leave regulation to the railway commission for whicn purpose the commission was created. Representative Trumble's vote was recorded in favor of the Keckly bill. Mayor H. W. Pedler Passes Away Word was received here yesterday morning that Mayor H. W. Pedler, whose life had been hanging by a slender thread at the hospital in Grand Island for several weeks, following an operation for appendicitis, had passed away a little after midnight yestei day morning. Several times word had come of his condition being for the worse, and .each time his iron constitution had enabled him to rally but the condition of his case proved too serious and his death resulted only after the most strenuous fight against the inevitable. Tuesday af noon, with his wife by his side, his condition again became most alarm ing and his brother, J. S. Pedler, was summoned, he driving across country to Grand Island that evening and was also with him to the end. The body was brought up from Grand Island last evening, a delegation of of the K. of P. brotherhood, of which deceased was an honored member, going to St. Paul as an escort to their beloved friend-and brother. The funeral will be held tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 2 o’clock, from the home, if the weather is line, or j from the Presbyterian church, if the weather is bad, the K. of P. brother hood being in charge. Grandma Gibson Passes Away At about the hour of 2 o’clock Mon day morning of this week occurred the death of Grandma Gibson at the home of her son, W. T. Gibson, in this city, at the ripe oid age of 82 years and a few days. For the past nine weeks the good old lady has been quite ill with la grippe, which with her advanced age made it impossible for her to throw off the disease, and since her first attack it has been felt that this would undoubtedly be her last illness, which proved to be true, and after long weeks of suffering she pa^ed to her reward, sincerely mourned by relatives and friends alitfe. The funeral occurred from the home on Tuesday afternoon at the hour of 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Deeper, as sisted by Ilev. Tourteliot, conducting the services, and the tired body was laid to rest in our Evergreen cemetery. Sarah A. Moser was born in Bed ford county, Pennsylvania, March 12. 1831, her death occurring in Loup City, ^Nebr., Monday, March 24. 1913. at the age of 82 years and 12 days.
