Mrs. Dell Trout, of McCook, was here this
week visiting with her brother Melvin and
family.—Red Cloud Belt.
Emigrant movables have commenced to
come in. They have two or three carloads
over the division every day now.
Six years ago, at 4 o’olock in the morning oi
February 27th, the great Burlington strike
commenced. And its effects are felt yet.
Sam Rogers steps higher than Haley’s
blooded calf, since filling his ice house with
the crystal article, shipped from the pond
made in mountains, where Sam pulled out a
nugget last fall.
“Them alligators” conductor McKenna now
crushes tramps with, were made from the tail
of that unfortunate animal which was brought
from San Salvador, and exhibited in the pond
rear of the Nebraska building, at the Chicago
exposition.
The B. & M. bridge gang were here at work
at the culvert near Mr. Reiser’s last week
While away at work their car in which they
slept caught fire and narrowly escaped des
struction. Mr. Palmer saw the fire and gave
the alarm. The heavy snow drifts along the
track luckily supplied the material for putting
out the fire.—Stamford News.
The depot at this place was broken into by
burglars last Friday night Some tickets and
money was stolen and two mail sacks, which
were left in the depot for safe keeping, were
cut open, and contents rifled. George Wirts
elevator was broken into the same night, but
the thieves secured nothing of any value. At
present there is no clew—Holbrook Herald.
The machinery of the federal courts has re
volved again, and the programme is all ar
ranged for a conference between the Union
Pacific receivers and representatives of em
ployes, whose wages it is proposed to reduce.
The circuit court has made President Clark
the arbiter of the contention. The contem
plated reduction has been postponed, but
there is nothing in evidence to indicate that it
can be averted.
March I will bring about several changes
in the passenger department of the Burling
ton. By reason of the resignation of L. Blake
slee, traveling passenger agent of the Burl
ington, with headquarters at Denver, who will
take a position with the Florence & Cripple
Creek railway, Mr. F. C. Mathews, traveling
passenger agent in Omaha, and acting cash
ier of the passenger department, will be trans
ferred to Denver with larger powers. Mr.
Mathews will be succeeded by W. G. David
son, a brother of the chief clerk of the pass
enger department, as cashier.
Another new time card is likely to go into
effect on the Burlington within the next ten
days. It is not believed that any material
changes will be made in the present arran
gement other than train 15 from Kansas City
and St Joe will stop here for supper. About
May 1st however, some important changes in
the train service are likely to take place; just
what they will be is not known. But a daily
passenger train to Hastings and Oberlin will
probably be resumed. The loud and continu
ous remonstance against the present arrange
ment, has probably reached headquarters.

Engineer James Harris’ wife is on the sick

Engineer Putnam was made as happy as a
clam, this week, by the receipt of a very con
siderable windfall from the east.
While train 194 with cond uctor Hammond
was running four miles east of Mintum Wed
nesday, the rails spread causing the rear end
of the coach to jump the tiack. All the dam
age caused was by the wheels cutting spikes
for the length of six telegraph poles. Mail
clerk H. A. Alden jumped off and was dan
gerously hurt,-having two ribs broken, anile
dislocated, bruises and cuts on his head, and
is suffering from concussion of the brain. He
was taken to Newcastle for treatment and is
recovering.—Alliance Grip.

these earthly trials_Ed. Highland the affa
ble and courteous Assistant Division Supt. of
the western branch of the B. & M.,is the guest
of opr esteemed mayor, Chas. Wiener, this
week. Ed. has many friends in Red Cloud
who are always pleased to see his pleasant
countenance on our streets.—Red Cloud Chief.
President Perkins of the Burlinglion made
a significant statement to a citizen of Lincoln
when he passed through the city, Tuesday.
He said that on the Burlington system alone
the idle railroad men numbered not less than
10,000, and that business conditions were such
that no one could tell when it would be possi
ble to give them employment. The Burling
ton has not less than 2,000 cars that ought to
go to the repair tracks. The care of this roll
ing stock would give employment to a large
force, but the available funds of the company
are needed more urgently for something else
and the cars will stand until the revival of
business makes it necessary to get them ready
for service again. President Perkins is always
as optimistic as the condidions warrant, but
he did not seem to be looking through a very
cheerful pair of glasses when here.—Lincoln
