There is Trouble Brewing for
Several Youths.
HAVE EMPLOYED A DETECTIVE.
Unscrupulous Young Men In Norfolk/
Who Have Tampered With the Or
dinance and Lights Will be Arrest
ed Before Very Many Days.
There In trouble brewing for a few
young men in Norfolk who Imvo inutlo
the gas motor work overtime nnd who
< lliln't motor In the collar cither. In
all probability the middle of next
week will land several well known
youths behind the bars of the city
Jail for tampering with the city or
dinance nnd at the same tlmo the
gas lamps on the street corners.
While the lights arc supposed , ac
cording to contract , to be turned on
at certain times of the dark nights ,
there is no provision which says the
company shall furnish nil out of doors
with its gaseous product during the
sunlit hours of the day. Tills is what
some of the unscrupulous of the city
seem to think , however , and llnding
the valves closed tightly In the day
time have taken it upon themselves
to secure the supply.
Half Dozen Cases.
A half dozen or more cases have
been located where the street lights
were turned loose during the day and
would run gas for hours into the open
air. It may bo fun for the guilty fel
lows but it is mighty expensive for
the gas company and they purpose
stopping the game.
Detective Is Employed.
A detective has been employed to
(
do nothing but keep his eye out and
he is just now busily engaged in col
lecting evidence through which there
may bo no loop hole for escape when
the defendants are brought before the
court. The line for this business is a
heavy ono and every means will be
employed to give the limit of the law
to the guilty ones.

A Memory Awakener.
The little wild crab apple with its
pungent odor. How it recalls the
events of boyhood days and the Iowa
woods with their beautiful October
foliage of scarlet and yellow and
brown , and the hazel nuts , hickory
nuts , and the lively chattering squir
rels. The smell of this sour little fruit
Is almost equal to a vacation and a
trip east , so vividly does it call up dis
tant memories. There is little of the
fruit In this section of Nebraska , but
"there Is said to be a small bunch of
the shrubs on Apple Creek in Knox
county , which was named by the In
dians on account of the growth , and
Jeffrey Wostorvelt has a grove of the
bushes on his place near Tlldnn , from
which Mr. and Mrs. Westorvelt have
boon favored with a generous quan
tity for sauce and mlnco pics , and
: preserves such as the early pioneer
farther east accounted among their
few luxuries.

MANY IN NORFOLK FOR SUNDAY ,
City Becoming More and More Popu
lar Among Travelers for Spend
ing the Day.
Perhaps nothing shows more clear
ly the increasing popularity of Nor
folk nmong the traveling public gen
erally than the crowds of these people
ple who are now , more than over be
fore , coming into the city on Satur
day and remaining ever Sunday.
The hotels every Sunday are more
than filled with guests from every
corner of the earth who happen to bo
in this section of the globe and who ,
preferring this to other cities , stop
in Norfolk until Monday morning.
Beginning Friday night there is a
constant Influx until Sunday morning
and they remain until Monday morn-
Ing.
For instance , every room in the
Oxnard hotel was filled by Saturday
noon and before yesterday morning
at least twenty-five people had to be
provided for outside of the house.
A dozen or so wore sent to other
hotels in the city and as many as
could bo , were cared for at private
homes wore the Oxnard has rooms
leased. The guests were made up of
dozens of traveling men from all di
rections and a largo number of fam
ilies who like the city. There was a
time not so many years ago wlin the
travelers stayed away from Norfolk
over Sunday to a largo extent but
they are all coming back and more
too so that business in hotels was
never better in its life.
These persons do not include the
regular travelers who make their
homes in Norfolk and who come infer
for Sunday every single week. Of
those , owing to the unexcelled rail
road facilities , there arc no less than
100 families.

"AT VALLEY FORGE. "
Company Was Handicapped by Loss
of Their "Heavy" Character.
The war drama , "At Valley Forge"
was given last night to a rather light
audience at the Auditorium , the ma
jority of thorn , apparently , being very

handicapped by being required to
place a new man In ono of the heavy
parts , and to the precise this mater
ially interferred with the merits of
the productibn.
The colonial costumes and uniforms ,
the special scenery and the thrilling
situations served to rovlvo the pop
ular conception of the struggle of the
forefathers for liberty and the debas
ing cruelty and villainy of the en
emies they fought.

John Tanneliill , who has been very
successful of late in raising stock on
bis father's farm eight miles south of

neck and making a beef of the calf ,
so that in the end H was Just a
"horso apiece , " so to speak.
It was the first calf John had
over raised to sell and lie was natur
ally anxious to have the affair turn
out sucossfiilly. It was pretty nearly
a thoroughbred bit of stock and
promised exceptionally well. But
oven though $25 had been received
for its hide , the llttlo follow hated to
leave the Tannohlll farm where it
had been so well cared for and when
ho was lifted Into the wagon box
aiid bound by a rope , the simple
thing became tnill-hoadod and made
a slaughter house of the wagon bed
by ltd own Insane act. .lust as the
i ope was being fastened to the
young one's feet no that It couldn't ,
do anything rash , It gave a lurch
forward , wrenched Itu neck and foil
over dead.
Something of a peculiar coincident
surrounds the occurrence. Just ex
actly one year ago on the day of the
accident , Charles Taiinohlll , father of
this year's owner , was loser In pro-
clnely the same sort of an accident ,
only ho wasn't the loser after all.

run stunt hero last evening ( hat was
spectacular In Hie. extreme and will
iltract the attention of the t'aimevery
where. Ho made the Imso In the face
if formidable opposition , and was wel
comed homo with Mowers , valuable
nlfts , and a wedding supper , In splto
of the effort H of the short stop to put
him out on third.
The details of the play are thus :
Sunday evening Lothorby was en
gaged In a practice gamo. Ho hired
ono of the very swellest llvory rigs
in town and started out around the
llainoud. South of town on a grade
there was another rig ahead of him
which the star of the diamond thought
ho could pa.HH. Ho tried , but for some
reason was caught out on a swift
grounder , remilla badly smashed bug-
my and a runaway , lie proceeded on
to the homo of his Intended and scut

tongue had come down and I ho buggy
was reduced to kindling wood In the

man was suspicions ; ho had adjusted
the neckyoko stiaps himself and
know that It was Impossible for the
tongue of the vehicle to drop. Ho

i road race. Yesterday he represent-
"d to Lolhorby that It would bo prop
er for him to put up for ( he damages ,

make the owner of the rig feel right
In the promises.
The livery man , however , know a

The wedding was to take place at
7 o'clock hist night , but the ofllcor
and the liveryman called off the game

DON'T ' LOCK GOOD SAFE ,
Some Business Men Would Rather
Give Free Access Than to Have
It "Blown. "
"To open safe , simply turn the
lo\er and pull toward you. "
The above sentence is written on a
tag which hangs to the knob of the
safe In the furnliiro store of Dador
& Rogers.
The f > nfu Is never locked for the
reason that It Is a valuable ono. "It
never pays to lock a valuable safe ,
say many business men , because the
safe is not to bo had that is burglar
proof. It's better to let a burglar have
free access to the small amount of
money lie will generally find In a safe
than to lot him use nltro-glycorino or
dynamite to blow It into fragments , "
Through a little Inquiry it was ascer
tained that no less than half the busi
ness men of the city who have nso
for a safe keep It solely as a protec
tion against loss of certain papers by
lire. It Is seldom that largo amounts
of money are kept In them. The care
ful business man generally deposits
most of his money just before clos
ing tlmo of his bank. Consequently
the value of the safe is generally more
than the money that is kept In it at
night. A burglar will not bother to
carry off papers or documents which
would be of no use to him for the
reason that they would only servo
to Identify and Incriminate him. Fre
