Hero the peculiar diary stops. Its
writer undoubtedly came to Norfolk ,
for here his treasure was found. It
Is rather unfortunate that a doscrlp-
tlon of the metropolis of northeast
Nebraska Is not also written thoro.
The personality of the tramp will
probably never bo known. Like the
contemporary accounts of Arthur
Youngo on his trips through Europe ,
however , the real diary of this tramp
Is unbiased and Interesting , withal.

Herman Winklcr Relieved of
$285 by Confidence Men. .
'
DRUGGED AT A SUMMER RESORT.
Had Gone to Omaha to Spend a Va
cation and His Earnings , and Loot )
the Latter Defore he had Started
With the Other Section Hand Hero
[ From Monday's Dully. ) I
Council Illuffs , Aug. 17. Herman I
Wlnkler , of Norfolk , Nob. , com
plained to the police after midnight I
Saturday that ho had been robbed of I
$285 and n gold watch and chain at
Lake Manawa by four mon with whom
ho had been drinking. Wlnkler told I
the police he believed ho had been I
drugged by the men who robbed him ,
Wlnkler Is employed as a section
hand on the Union Pacific and came
to Omaha Saturday on a llttlo vaca-
tlon , and In order to thoroughly enjoy
the trip brought with him n large
" portion of his savings. * On the train
ho mot a stranger who engaged him
In conversation and before reaching
Omaha ascertained that Wlnkler had
plenty of money In hla pockets.
Winklcr and the stranger separated
on the train reaching Omaha , but the
stranger evidently kept Wlnklor In
sight. Whllo Wlnklor was standing
on . Farnam street looking at the tall
buildings nnd speculating as to what
part of the city to go to have some
fun , his acquaintance of the train hap
pened along. Ho greeted Wlnkler as
an ( ild time friend and the latter felt
somewhat honored by being recog
nized ! } , by Htich a nice appearing man.
It ' was then the stranger , evidently a
professional confidence man , began to
get In his work. Ho had como 'io
Omaha to see the sights just as Wink
lcr had. Ho had heard that Lake
Manawa was a very beautiful resort
and suggested that he and Wlnkler
take a ride there.
Arriving at the lake the stranger
complained of being very thirsty nnd
suggested they have a bottle of boor.
Whllo seated In the pavilion the
stranger 'was surprised to see three
friends of his nnd Invited thorn to
Join him and Wlnklor In another bet
tle. Wlnklor told the police that ho
only remembered drinking two bottles
of boor when ho became deathly sick.
Ills companions suggested going tea
a more secluded part of the park and
assisted him to a scat In a dark cor
ner of Shady grove. Wlnklor had a
long vomiting spell and was , he
thinks , partly uncqnsclous. When ho
came to his companions had disap
peared nnd so had his watch and
chain and his pocketbook , containing
$285. The money consisted of four
$50 bills , $80 In tens nnd fives , and
$5 In silver. The watch was valued
at $10. .
When Wlnklor came to It was past
midnight. Ho succeeded In making
his way to the gates where ho mot
Special OIHcor MInner. A search of
the grounds was made for the four
mon , but they had undoubtedly loft
the place long before.
Wlnkler Is of the opinion that while
drinking the second bottle of beer ,
one of bis newly made acquaintances
put some knockout drops In his tum
bler while his attention was called
elsewhere by one of the gang. Winkler -
lor went back to Omaha yesterday
for the purpose of seeing If ho could
find the man who accompanied him
to Manawa.

Water In a stagnant pool had
formed along the now ditch , between
Second and Third streets and a force
of men were put to work this morning
for the city , In cleaning out the
trough that they had but a week erse
so ago been paid to dig. Teams driv
ing Into the ditch had rendered it
useless.
The rainfall thus far In August has
exceeded the record of last year for
the month , which was 5.18 , and an
J
Inch and a half above the normal.
The average rainfall for the month
for the entire state for twenty-seven
years was 2.C4 Inches , so that It may
lie realized that this has boon a very
wet August for this locality. The
only state average that approaches the
record ' here , was made In 1887 , when
1.13 Inches was recorded.
It Is understood that those owning
property along the east side of South
Fourth street have signified a willing
ness to put In cement walks from Nor
folk to Madison avenue providing the
street Is filled and graded by the city.
This would make a cement walk from
Main street to the United States court
house building now being erected , and
would Improve the street materially
and add much to the convenience of
the people. On the west side of the
sy-eet filling under the walk Is now
being done preparatory to putting In
permanent walks next spring.
Mrs. W. J. Bush , who died on the
fifth , at Madison , lost her life in a
peculiar manner. She was on an
errand of mercy , caring for the family
of County Judge William Bates who ,
with his wife , was at the bedside of
tholr son In Omaha , and In doing the
housework scratched her thumb on
the lid of a wash boiler. A day or
two later the pain she experienced
prompted her to call a doctor who
found that blood poisoning had set in
and that there was no hope for her
recovery owing to her advanced ago ,
Mrs. Bush was born In Germany In
1834 , marled Mr. Bush in Wisconslr
In 1851. They moved to Madison
from Kansas ten years ago. Mr. Busl :
died In 1901. Two sons and four
daughters survive them.

THE OLD RELIABLE r
POWDER
Absolutely Pure
THERE iS NO SUBSTITUTE
New Arrangement is Already
to Receive Machines.r
BEGIN TO BALLAST NEXT WEEK.
Mine of the Eleven New Bridges Over
the Gulch are Now Complete Turn
table Is Set Disastrous Start of
Chutes at Oakdale.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
The new coal chutes at the Northwestern -
western yards will bo ready for use
within a very few days. The chutes
themselves are completed now , but
; he machinery for the operation has
not yet arrived. As soon as it is In
stalled , the new system of coaling the
tenders will begin.
Other features of the now yards
are going on rapidly. The turntable
is now all in , ready to swing the heavy
ocomotlvos at any time. Nine new
bridges of the eleven which will be
constructed across the gulch , are now
inishod , and trains can pass over any
of them. The other two will soon be
lone.
The company expects to begin bal
lasting early next week. The material
will all bo hauled from the Atkinson
pit.
Work on the roundhouse foundatk n
has been started by the contractors ,
Johnson Bros. , of Norfolk.v
The ofllclals of the road are kept
busy with the magnificent Improve
ments and before many more moons
one of the finest switching yards In
the state will be In running order In
South Norfolk.
In connectlnn with the new coal
chutes , comes a story from Oakd.ik- ,
where the Initial try proved very dis-
istrous.
The Northwestern has erected a
coal chute at Oakdale , where the Al
blon branch leaves the main line , sim
ilar to the one that Is being completed
in the yards at South Norfolk. The
first attempt to hoist a car of coal
up the steep Incline met with disaster
and there was a wreck In which , for
tunately , no one was killed or Injured
tlthoiigh several were watching the
machine.
The clutch of the hoisting appara
tus did not operate just as It should
at the start , but It was finally ad
justed and appeared to bo working
smoothly and well until the car had
been brought about half way up the
incline , when a piece broke out of the
sprocket driving wheel throwing off
the chain that transmits the power
from the engine.
The car at once started on a return
trip down the incline. The man In
charge set the brake , but the speed
of the car was only partly checked and
it gained considerable momentum as
It proceeded.
The Sentinel tells what happened
in the pow rvhouse , as folows :
"The reverse motion Imparted a tre
mendous speed to the driving shaft ,
and the sprocket wheel flew to pieces
with centrifugal force sufficient to
drive the chunks of Iron through the
sides of the building like cannon shot.
One largo chunk eighteen Inches long
was hurled up through the roof to an
unknown height , descending to earth
one-fourth mile away , clear beyond
the grove at the house on the Ray
farm , whore it buried itself deep in
the ground. Another piece struck
the water tank , perforating one of the
Iron hoops and so nearly going through
the wood that a small leak was started.
Another chunk struck the big steel
cable on the winding drum , cutting
It nearly in two. Still another large
piece went through the wall of the
upper giory , the roof and side of the
engine room , and down Into the ground
several Inches , Numerous other
pieces went through the building , In
the plane of the circle of the bursting
wheel , like so much shot , through card
board. "
The car butted Into R box car stand
ing on the side track demolishing a
dummy hand car that was between
thorn and sending the box car from
the siding onto the main track. As
may be Imagined , other portions of
the hoisting machinery was damaged ,
the cogs being stripped from the large
gear wheel.
It may be Imagined that with this
experience at Oakdale , care will betaken
taken to prevent its repetition in the
new chutes at this place.
