TWENTY SECOND YEAR
Lost Almost Four Hundred Dollars
L O Mohus the tailor is loser to the
amount of 39000 as the result of some
ones visit to his cash box Up to last
Friday night ho had about 890000 in
cash in the vault in his tailor shop Sat
urday evening ho was informed that a
man by the name of Ed Eskelson who
has been working for him for about a
year bad been exhibiting quite a large
sum of money and upon oxamining his
cash he found ho was short 39000 Es
kolson left the city Friday evening on
No G but Mr Melius was not aware of
the loss of tho money until Saturday
evening Ho at once look steps to ap
prehend Eskelson but up to this writ
ing has not been successful Eskelson
who is suspicioned as tho thief was ac
quainted with the situation at the tailor
shop The money was counted into 100
packages and of these three full pack
Ages wore taken and 90 was taken in
small sums from each of the remaining
packages evidently for tho purpose of
throwing Mr Mohus off any suspicion
that any money had been taken About
75 in change was left unmolested Es
kelson was drinking when ho left the
city Ho told some that he had received
a considerable sum from relatives but
ho was known to be without funds in
any sum worth mentioning aud lately
was going some as a sport The circum
stances point directly to him as the
guilty one He told Mr Mehus who
was at the depot just before tho train
left last Friday evening that he was
going to Holdrege Mr Mehus of
course had then no suspicion that any
thing Was wrong with his cash Tt is to
be hoped that the guilty one may be
brought to justice

McCooks Fourth of July
It was a mild article this season all
will admit and hardly in keeping with
the best town in southwestern Nebraska
with her population of 3500 About all
that marked the day was the partial sus
pension of business and the individual
display of fireworks in the evening The
only amusement furnished was the two
games of baseball and these did not
prove very strenuous The displays of
fireworks were quite numerous and cred
itable A happy feature of the day was
the absence of injuries none of note be
ing reported during the day And we
are thankful for small favors Another
year with a prospect like this seasons
should see a creditable celebration here
one that will make up for our remissness
in the past

Saturdays games disappointing
Both of Saturdays games between
Arapahoe and McCook on the home
grounds were easily won by the locals
and were somewhat disappointing It
was expected that the visitors would put
up a stiffer game The attendance upon
the afternoon game especially was large
and it is to be regretted that they didnt
get a better race for their money The
Arapahoe boys were for the most part
young fellows who will be the winners
of the future we have no doubt but they
were outclassed at this time by the lo
cals At times they put up a pretty
good game but they lacked the steadi
ness of seasoned ball players
The morning game came to McCook
by a score of 6 to 0 The afternoon game
was even more disastrous the visitors
being defeated by a score of 11 to 0 And
it might have been worse
minden won both of them
Holdrege and Minden played two
games on the Minden grounds July 4th
Minden winning both of them The first
game is described by the Minden people
as tbn finest played on the local grounds
this season and the second game was
the most largely attended in the history
of local baseball The particulars of
both games are given below in brief
