Injured Eye Removed.
An operation was performed on Mrs.
J. A. Snyder in Denver , Sunday , for the
removal of her injured eye , in order to
preserve the sight of the remaining eye.

Snyder is getting along up to reasonable
expectations , although it will be a week
or longer before the critical period is
passed. Mr. Suyder was present at the
operation and will remain in Denver
until the danger line has been success
fully crossed. The unfortunate accident
( has created much sympathy toward the
afflicted ones.

paring to soon embark on a visit of three
or four years in Asia. He would have
visited Northern Asia during his late
Russian tour , had the great Trans-Siber
ian railway of the Russian imperial gov
ernment been completed across Man
churia ; but the roads and company as at
that time in Northern China were not at
all attractive to the doctor , who loves to
study geography easily and comfortably.
The doctor has done America , Europe
and parts of both Asia and Africa , in
deed is a very widely traveled and cult
ured gentleman , whom it is a pleasure
and educational to hear. He has been
an extensive over-land traveler , coming
to McCook the first time in an early
day , over-laud , from Socoiyo , New Mex
ico. The doctor is a most modest man ,
as are usually men of his accomplish
ments , and laid upon us a pledge of ab
solute secresy as to his presence in the
city , bis past deeds and future hopes ;
and we haven't "done a thing to him. "

The Holbrook Tragedy.
Wednesday evening , shortly before
eight o'clock , at the railroad crossing
just west of Holbrook , locomotive No
209 , running light to McCook for repairs
George W. Starks , engineer , struck a
farm wagon full of women and children
killing or injuring every occupant of the
wagon.
The killed are : Mrs. Lotta Barten
bach , a widow aged 44 years ; Mrs. Stena
Kielbeck , aged 35 years ; Miss Lizzie
Hermans , aged 13 years ; Herman Kiel-
beck , aged 13 months , son of Mrs. Kiel-
beck.
The injured are : Lizzie Bartenbach
aged 18 months ; Charlie Bartenhach ,
aged 4 years ; both children of Mrs. Bar
tenbach.
The injured are apparently not badly
hurt , though they may have internal
injuries.
The killed and injured were members
of a funeral party on their return home ;
and thereby hangs a tragic tale :
On Monday evening , about eight
o'clock , about two miles south of Hol
brook , Carl Bartenbach , husband of one
of the women killed , was shot and in
stantly killed by his brother-in-law ,
Herman Kielbeck , husband of the other
woman killed. The tragedy occurred at
the Kielbeck farm , where Mrs. Barten
bach and children had sought protec
tion from the brutality of the husband
and father , who was an old offender in
this line. After Bartenbach. who fol
lowed the family , had shot through a
door and made a breech therein , Kiel-
beck discharged a load of shot through
the opening into Bartenbach's body ,
tilling him instantly. A coroner's jury ,
the following morning , exonerated Kiel-
aeck.
And it was the wives and children of
the slayer and slain of this family trag
edy of Monday evening , ( together with
the young daughter of a neighboring
farmer , ) who were victims of the greater
and sadder tragedy of Wednesday even
ing.
ing.A
A man , who was directly ahead of the
victims , stopped his horse and advised
the women to do so ; but they paid no
attention to his advice and drove on to
certain and terrible death.
The enginemen sounded the whistle
and rang the bell , as is the order at
crossings , but the occupants were heed
less of both.
It is one of the most terrible and dis
tressing accidents that has ever occurred
on this division , and it is most deeply
deplored ; although it is claimed that the
railroad company took all the precau
tions in such cases , and is in no sense
responsible for the sad tragedy.
EXONERATED THE COMPANY.
The coroner's jury at its session ,
Thursday morning , in Holbrook , exon
erated the company and engine-men
from blame for the tragedy.
Their Closing Concert.
The sacred concert their closing one
of the season given by the Nebraska
Brigade band , last Sunday afternoon in
the City park , came up to highest ex
pectations ; it was , indeed , a rare and de
lightful musical feast. Betxveen i.ooo
and 1.500 citizens of McCook gathered
at the park at the appointed hour , in
stead of indulging in the usual post
prandial snooze , and were delighted
with a most excellent programme of
high-class music very artistically ren
dered. It was worth many a siesta.
"Providence , " a sacred fantasie , was
especially appreciated , as was also A. P.
Ely's cornet solo in Schubert's "Sere
nade : " But the entire programme was
a symposium of masterful music. More
and more the citizens of McCook are
learning to appreciate that our city can
proudly boast having the first musical
organization of its kind in this section
of the west the baud that's making
McCook famous.
