who knew her and was a very
jpretty littlegirl. . The family had
recently returned from a visit
down in Missouri and they think
that they must have come in con
tact with whooping cough on the
train. They are very deeply
grieved over the death of the little
one and' have the sympathy of
friends and neighbors. .
Joseph Nollette came down from

Nels Lausten , a saloonkeeper in

day night by four boy bandits in

several places Friday night and
becoming bolder with success they
continued Saturday night. Jay
O'liearn , Raymond Nelson , Leo
Angus and "Joe Warren are the
bandits , the last named being a
former Rushvillft boy. Warren is
said to be the first child born in Val
entine , which occurred in 1SS3. His
father , Fitz Warren , was a county
judge here in the early days and
was running a saloon with Billy
Carter at the time he was fraud
ulently counted . in as judge and
s.
used to Hold court in the back part
of their saloon.
Some early settlers recall the times
when old Fitz Warren sat in a
poker game while judge and trans
act business officially , between
deals. Joe was said to be a very
pretty boy and grew.up a worth
less fellqw. The four bandits are
held for murder. They were ar
rested th&day following the shoot
ing. A mob gathered at the cor
oner's and for
inquest safe-keep
ing the" boys were taken to Lin
coln. They will be given a speedy
trial no doubt.
The new passenger depot of the
C. & N.3 . at this place was com-
pleEed-lasfc Veek 3M"Stf ucl "sfy "was -
opened for business and the gen
eral inspection of the public. It
was quite cold but a number of
persons were present at different
hours of the day to see the won
derful transformation and to show
their appreciation of what the C.
& N. W. has done for Valentine
passengers. Mr. Northrop , our
genial and always obliging agent ,
took us through the building and
to the basement under the office
where the heating plant is'install
ed. The depot is built on the
north side of the track about 250
feet cast of the old depot , and is
about 28x120 feet in size. There
is a brick walk laid the length of
the block from east to west , or
from Hall"street to Main street in
front of the depot , and thence
north to the street crossing , also
a brick walk laid around the depot.
The men's waiting room is on the
east and is 28x36 feet. Next to it
is the office which is large and has
a room for train men to step into
at the southeast corner to receive
their orders anil a room at the
north for express transactions and
ako serves as a passage or hall way
between the men's and the wom
en's waiting rooms , the latter be
ing on the west side of the office
and is about 28x20. The express
room joins on the west of this and
the baggage room is on the west
end , both large enough to accom
modate the business of that nature.
The whole is heated by steam and
lighted with electricty. It is a
very beautiful depot for Valentine ,
and our citizens are proud of it.
