CRIME COMMITTER NEAR ST. PAIL The St. Paul papers tell a story [of the arrest of Edward Halleck son, giving his home at Opal, S. D.. for the alleged offense of plac ing ties on the Burlington tracks a few miles east of St Paul, for the alleged purpose of wrecking trains on that road. It is claimed the man was seen in the vicinity where ties were placed on the track in such a manner as to cause the wreck of any train striking such obstruction. According to the pai*ers the man was not seen do ing the work, but that he was seen along the track where the ties were found He is claimed to not in the least have a criminal appearance, but on the other hand was most gentlemanly api»earing. He will have to re main in jail till the first of May, the evidence at the preliminary hearing being sufficient to bind him over,and he has no money nor friends in this section.

Ray Kearns, in Chicago, that the latter had received a call to be pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Oswego. N. 1. The many friends of the talented Loup City boy will hear the good news with pleasure, and feel that the church in calling Rev.

We congratulate parents, son and the good people of the First Presbyterian church at Oswego. This week, the Northwestern publishes the announcement of Mary A. K. Hendrickson as a candidate for superintendent of schools for Sherman county, sub ject the will of the voters as ex pressed at the coming primaries, fhe lady is too well known and has been too many years a resi dent of 8herman county for the Northwestern to add any word to her well known reputation as an educator. Should she win the nomination and subsequent elec tion, she will do her best to up hold the splendid quality of Sher man county schools. Among those who have filed as candidates for the various offices this fall, are Pete Rowe for sher iff, R. E. Hendrickson for county superintendent of schools, L. B. Polskifor county elerk and Mary A. K. Hendrickson also for county superintendent of schools. We understand several other candi dates will file for the various of fices this coming week. PROPOSED MILL FOR ARCADIA Fusibility That Leap Oily Capita&sb May Rebafld at That Place. OTHER IMPROVENERTS PURRED Just now when the early song birds of spring are beginning tbeii sweet carols and the new year’s business is beginning to pick up, we hear a rumor to the effect that there is at least a possibility, if not a probability, that certain Loup City capitalists will erect a new flouring mill at Arcadia in the very near future. Some time since. J. W. Conger off this city purchased the lease of the water power at the site of the old Ar cadia mills, and at the time, when asked as to his future intentions regarding same, gave evasive answers. Last week Thursday, we understand, the lease would have expiYed. but on the day pre ceding. Mr. Conger went up to Arcadia and extended the same, and on the following day parties came from a distance, we l>elieve Beatrice, with the intention of taking up the same and also pur chasing the electric light plant there, but Mr. Conger had headed them off. Also last Saturday. E. G. Taylor and > 1 r. Conger were at Arcadia, looking over matters, with a possible view, as a little bird has whispered to us, of pur chasing the light plant and con sidering the re-building of the flouring mill. Also, we hear it whispered. Mr. Conger is serious ly considering the utilizing of the irrigation ditch from Arcadia to Hayes Creek, lietween this city and Arcadia. These arp a few of the new spring business ideas that are now bubbling forth, and from which may spring something big akmg the lines above. Just how much there may be to it, we are not reliably informed, and we have only put the few whisperings and suspicious movements along above lines in print for what they are worth. It is hoped they may prove substantial within the next few weeks. Cards are out announcing the coming nuptials of Miss Lillian M. Brown, daughter of Mr!* and Mrs. W.O.Brown.and Karl F.

As mentioned last week all the i Litchfield cases, seven in numl>er were settled and dismissed. The Synak case against the Bur lington. which was a suit by the widow against the said railroad company for $65,000 for the death of her husband some months ago in the yards of that company at Grand Island, had gone so far as the selection of a jury and ready for trial, when the case was dis missed. the defendant company paying to the widow of deceased LINEMAN INJURED FACE BADLY CUT i Allard RowlKHham. a young man in the employ of the Ravenna j Telephone Co., as a lineman, had a very unusuakand likewise a pain ful experience, Monday afternoon, while working on one of the rural ! lines, near the August Betke farm. He was lurched near the top of a telephone pole, when one of the wires broke and the sinuous and jsinging wire encircled him before he had time to realize what had happened. One end of the broken } wire struck him in the month, cat ting a gash entirely through his upper lip, and his lower lip was also cut, but not so badly. For tunately the injuries were about the lower part oe the face and his eyes escaped injury. After his wound were dressed he was able to be about, and it is not thought that he will suffer any permanent results from the experience.—Ra venna News.

This is one of the best stories we have 'been able to offer our readers and we hope that none of them will miss any part of it. The interest increases as the plot de velops and holds the reader en thralled until the final chapter. This story alone is well worth the price of subscription. Don't miss it.

The ease of McNulty vs. Blaschke. arising out of an accident sustained by plaintiff when riding in defendant's automobile on the way to Broken Bow. last October, to the lind drawing, came to an end before the jury was sum moned, by settlement between the parties to the suit, defendant, who lives in Texas, thinking it chea]ier to compromise with plaintiff for some amount than to make the trips and added other expenses that would be incurred. Just what the sum paid defendant we have not learned. The ease of State of Nebraska vs. Fred Kornrumpf was continued over to the September 1st term, with liond for his appearance placed at $1,000.

Mr. Polski was appoint ed by the county board to fill out the unexpired term of W. C. Dietencbs, deceased, and has proven a very satisfactory official.
