Michigan -wife and daughter ar rived in MeCook Saturday morn ing on No 9 to visit relatives on Red Willow creek for a while- Mr Loomis reports an unfortu nate experience at Lincoln Fri day night in which he was rob bed of over one hundred dollars in cash He recalls that while passeng ers were getting on and off No 9 in Lincoln Friday nigM one fellow came into the section where he was sitting in the chair car and made a bluff at looking for something he claimed he lost About this time there was some crowding about Mr Loomis and some jostling but he did not at tach any special importance to the occurrence at the time After hi arrival in MeCook he had oc casion to refer to his money and found that he had been roblied of all Owing to the hours intervening between the time of the loss and the discovery of the faet there is small hope of ever recovering the money or apprehending the tihdeives The robbery was how ever reported to the local offic ials iby Mr Loomis who feels the less keenly An Appreciation iGeiorge S PowelL grand high piiuest of Nebraska R A M in his annual address to the compan ions lias the following paragraph referring to his recent visit to th chapter at this
