His injury may prove fatal.
Bridges on the St. Francis line south
and west of here were somewhat dam
aged by Sunday's prairie fire.
Mrs. J. H. Burns and family and
mother Mrs. N. L. Cronkhite returned
home , Monday on 6 , from their Denver
visit.
Henry Gauveau and wife , of McCook ,
have been spending the week with their
parents Mr. and Mrs. P. Z. Gauveau.
Hastings Democrat.

act. He formerly occupied the position
of conductor on this division.

position with the company and gone to
Chicago where he expects to handle an

liance Grip.

Mrs. Trout's mother , Mrs. Tingley , who
have been visiting with friends and
relatives in the city , returned to their

Cloud Chief.
J. D. McAlpine left , this morning , for
the South Dakota Hot Springs , being
troubled with the writer's paralysis.
Mrs. McAlpine will remain here keeping
house for her father during the absence
of her mother , who is away on a visit.
No. 4 , Engineer Oyster at the throttle ,
caught a freight car at the west switch
at Minden , Sunday night , damaging the
locomotive considerably , and making
kindling wood of the freight car. Oyster
took his train into Hastings , however.
General Manager Holdrege's special
car No. 34 , was attached to No. 6 , Satur
day evening , Capt. R. O. Phillips of
Lincoln and a party of New Haven ,
Conn. , capitalists being among the party
aboard , who were on their way east from
Denver.
The financial condition of the Burling
ton system , as shown by a recent report
in the Journal of Finance , is highly flat
tering. During the first nine months
of the year it earned $4.254,217 on its
stock , and it will pay its usual 5 per
cent dividend for the year. The Bur
lington always represents the best phase
of American railroading both in its
financial and operative management.
Locomotive No. 210 , Engineer Ed.
McKay , had the misfortune to go into
the ditch , last night about midnight , at
the east end of the , yard. It is stated
that the engine was cut loose from her
train at Culbertson to do some switch
ing , and that in coupling on again the
air was forgotten. When an effort was
made to stop in the McCook yards , this
oversight became apparent , but the
momentum of the train was too great to
be restrained by the hand brakes , and
the engine ran through the switch. A
large force of men are at work today
putting her back on the rails. Her
damage is not heavy. Passenger train
No. 3 , which was approaching at the
time , was flagged , thus avoiding what
might have been a disastrous wreck.
Engineer McKay and fireman jumped
when the accident seemed unavoidable.
There will be two or three strikers up
in Box Elder out of a job , after January
the first. With our esteemed friend
Belles they will retire from the public
crib about that time , with the consent
of the people of the Third district.
Our returns for Red Willow county are
so incomplete that we shall have to wait

election of Sheridan and Dodge is con
ceded.
Observe the new advertisement of
Edward B. Shaw , the new blacksmith.
He will be found with J. H. O'Neil oppo
site the Bullard lumber yard. Give him
a trial.
"That , " remarked Colonel Hatfield ,
Sr. , as the defeat of his friend Belles
dawned upon him in unmistakable fig
ures , "is not business. That is h 1. "
If our democratic friends can draw
much satisfaction out of the political
situation all O. K. THE TRIBUXE
can't , it is sorry to say.
John C. Gammill is down from Fron
tier county today. He admits his defeat
