Smith purchased the building formerly occupied by the ice plant on his property near the B. & M. depot. The building will be rebuilt and when finish ed will be occupied by the Peer less Stock food com pan jr which will move its plant to this city. This company has become one of the largest and mo t prosper ous stockfood compaities in the west , doing an extensive busi ness and emp eying many travelers to sell their commodity We wish them sucess in the re cent move. Mail Sacks Stolen. Quite a stir has been created in government and railroad circles by the theft of three sacks of mail from a Burlington train between Denver and Oxford. The sacks contained money and valuable papers and the loss is estimated at K million dollars. Both government and railroad detectives are at Mvork . upon the . . " * matter. The sacks were to have been transferred from the Kansas City train to the Chicago train at Oxford but were stolen be tween Denver and Oxford. Horse Stolen. On Monday eve about .10 , o'clock Aug. 19th a saddle horse belonging to "Wm. Nutter was taken from the hitch rack north of Wahl's store. Thi horse was found about 2 , o'clocc northeast of town on his wav home , show ing signs of being hard ridden. Mr. Nutter is a member of the Anti-Horse Theif Association. The members were notified and responded nobly and were on the spot at once. It will be remembered that this organiza tion was the means of sending Tony Cutler to jail 30 days ior stealing one chicken. This organization deserves the en. couragement of every good citizen of this community. Hero of Missouri Lakes. While spending the day with a party of friends at the Missouri Lakes last week Miss Etta Riechers and Tom Davies started to row across the lake to the island and in some manner Miss Riechers pitched head toremost from the boat into the lake. Mr. Davies cought her foot just as she went over the side of the boat. Miss Riechers was able to turn and catch hold of the boat and Mr. Davies heroically dragged her from four feet of muddy water into the boat. They re turned to the. hotel where Miss Riechers was supplied with dry clothing and Mr. Davies was given an ovation as the hero ol the summer at the Lakes. He will doubtless recieve all medah and other such rewards such a brave deed merits. Mrs. Belle Mulligan is visiting her sister , Mrs. Sloan , in Verdor this week.

Quite a disturbance occured in the east part of town last Wednesday night at the home of Henry McLean. From what we can learn a case of beer and to much company seem to have been the causes. The two Mc Lean girls who are married had agang [ | with them all night and toward morning sometime the younger one. who is separated from her husband seemed angered with the attention paid | the older sister , Jessie , whose I husband was present. A cut- ling followed wherein the , younger sister stabbed Jessie in the shoulder. The wound is 1 not dangerous we hear. It is understood now that they claim it wa > all an accident and just what will be done with them is not yet decided. i Miss Katherine Gilligan ol ' Tecumseh is a guest this week at the home of her brother.

For some time the firm of Boyd & Lyford at Humboldt has been missing money from the till and while they had suspicions they were unable to prove the theft and after Sl2 was taken about a week : IKO they decided to take steps to capture the thief. Ac cordingly s m a 1 1 amounts of money were left in the drawer each night and guards put on watch. Itvas found a gang of boys were the guilty parties. A 14 year-old hey , Gran Guiun by namq , was caught and he gave the other three away. They arc : O. A. Cooper , aged 14 ; Ralph Shaffer , 14 ; and Floyd Shaffer , 12. The boys were arrested and brought to this city Thursda ; morning. II. E. Boyd came down and filed the charges against them. It is quite likely three of the boys will be turned over to the probationary officer , Judge Martin. The Guinn boy , who got over $12 , is charged with larceny. The case was contin ued from Thursday till Monday and the boys were released on their own recognizance. The case will be heard before J ml ire Fallstcad Monday morn ing and just what will be done with the youngsters then has not been decided. It is to be hoped they can be shown the folly of their ways and brought to see the necessity ol living honest lives before ia is too late. If it is proven that this is their first offense it is likely the court will be linient with them. Married. At the ty E. parsonage in i alls City , Nebr. , Wednesday at 10 , a. m. August 21 , 17.

Otto Wachtel , the enterpris ing harness maker.has installed in liis shop this week a fine new Landis lock stitch wax thread machine for stitching harness.
