DYNAMITE HAS BEEN FREQUENT
IN NEW NORTHWEST.
NAPER STORY HAS LOCAL COLOR
Bloodhounds Which Were Brought
Over From Butte , are From Nor
folk Originally Who Is Doing This
Bank Blowing Business Now ?
Tlio bloodhounds belonging to Sher
iff I'ctc Anderson of Unit" , which
woro yesterday sot upon ( ho trnll of
tho Nnper bunk robbers , are 11 Nor
folk product and thus give tbo story
local "color. " They formerly be
longed to Station Agent Stoon. at tho
South Norfolkolllce , and woro bought
by tbo Hoyd county sheriff from htm.
Originally thoy cnino from tho Com-
stock Oakdalo stock.
There have boon a good mnny bank
robberies around this section of tho
country within the last six or
eight months , and with no very
definite clews us to tho robbt rii.
At Ewlng the bank was blown and
money taken. Tho robbers merely
drove out of town and woro lost sight
of. At McLean four rnhhcrn fought
against the citizens of the town and
made a successful getaway. At Mar-
tlnslmrg another case of about tho
same kind occurred. At Vordlgre
a store was entered and tho hounds
failed to catch tho trail long enough
to get tho burglars.
Tho Norfolk police nt one time
thought thoy had a pretty good | .1on
as to who might bo In the gang and
It was thought that they used this
point as a center for tholr work.
One man dropped into town and spent
fourteen hundred dollars without
much trouble In a very short time
and said ho could get more where
that camo from. Then ho rlsap-
pcared. Now and then ho bobs up.
Now and then a bank is robbed.
It is to bo hoped that one of these
days tho burglar may bo caught and
nuulo to pay the penalty. And no
doubt , growing over bold from a run
of sucoss , a catch will ultimately be
made.

With tbe Durland sale of lots on ,
(
and tho presence of a largo military
band in Norfolk , Arbor day will be
of greater significance here this
spring than over before.
April has little more than a week
left in which to bring forth tho first
blossoms of spring and it will need
to hurry tho work some. nine grass
and weeds are tho onjy vegetable
plants now thriving.
Protection lodge No. 101 , Degree

sion tonight in Odd Fellows' hall. It
it desired that every member bo
present as there is important busi-
nosH to be discussed.
The weather has been offering
scant encouragement to the annual
spring cleaning up Job. That condi
tion of the atmosphere has not yet
been experienced which spontaneous
ly affects all to make an effort to
ward cleaning up tbo yards and al
loys.
loys.Tho
Tho April showers this spring have
taken a queer from. Tho thunder and
lightning is natural , also tho sudden
showers and clearing of the sky , but
for tho raindrops to come down in
Icy pebbles is a variation of tho usual
program that Is not exactly appro-
elated.
It Is Infrequent that tho departure
of a minister for n new charge calls

Is evidenced by the newspapers of
Lincoln over tho departure of Dr.

express his departure as a loss to
the entire city.

time pupils , who rode as far as South
Norfolk for a little visit.
A Nebraska City man IH of the

fered for tbo killing of wolves , two
bounties should bo offered for the
scalps of lite half furnished , mlsoho-
vloim dogs that Infest some cities ,
with no apparent homo or moans of
livelihood , lie alleges thill they do
more damage than the wolves , and
that chickens do more damage than
either to tho properly owner who
tries to keep n garden and maintain
a lawn and flower beds.
Judge Ilnrnes of Norfolk was in
the city Ibis morning on his way to
Lincoln for the regular session of
supreme court , lie said I hat there
was no prospect of nn agreement be
tween Judge Sedgwick and himself
with regard to either of tho preferred
candidates for clerk of the court ,
Jackson or Seymour , and thought
that it might bo necessary to effect
a compromise. The contest lias gone
so far , ho thought , that noil her tho
friends of Jackson nor those of Sey
mour would back down , and In ( hat
ease n third man would have to bo
appointed. When asked if tills man
would be II. C. Lindsay , Judge linrnos
replied that ho did not know , but that
Lindsay seemed to have : i great
many friends and that his appoint
ment would without doubt lie satis
factory to tlio republicans of the
state , Fremont Tribune.
Weather Forecaster Loveland of
tlio .state university , was in Norfolk
yesterday on business , llo saiil that
ho was not responsible in any way
for tills weal her and was anxious to
have people know it. lie came un
heralded and loll without attracting
tile attention of many people In tlio
city , olso it might , have gone hard
with him. One man on the street
yesterday afternoon was looking for
( lie weather cleric with .anger in Ids
eye , but Mr. Loveland bad taken to
tho fast moving train of earn. Mr.
I.iovclnml lias been a champion ten
nis player in Nebraska for a number
of years and some of his friends had
thought that this alone might induce
him to bring out the bright-sided sky.
lie explains , however , that bo has
Ijeon building a house of late and
that tennis doesn't get much of his
attention. That may account for tho
miserable spell of spring which isn't
spring at all , that has been hanging
around in this corner of the earth.

NO OPINION IN LILLIE CASE.
Judges Will Not File Decision on Ap
peal of Mrs. Lillie.
Lincoln , April 20. Tho supremo
court at this session "will hand down
but few decisions in cases argued be
fore tbo court proper and tho reduced
commission and it is probable that a
number of cases already submitted
will not bo passed upon until the be
ginning of tlio fall term. A largo
number of cases argued before the
old commission of nine members re
main to bo reviewed and It Is neces- ,
sary to dispose of these boforo any
now opinions aro given. Tlioro are
enough opinions on hand from tho
old commission to keep tho court
busy until tho summer adjournment
and Judge Sedgwick announced Mon
day evening that these would bo tak
en up first. Court will adourn for
tho summer about tbo last of Juno.
Tho most important opinion to bo
made public at this sitting will bo in
tlio Bankers Union of tho World case ,
which has been pending for more
than a month. There will be no early
decision in tho Lillie murder case.
NELIGH MAN HAS WITHDRAWN
FROM THE CONTEST.
RELEASES THE NORFOLK JUDGE
In Order to Solve the Deadlock Which
Has Held the Supremo Court from
Appointment , the Northern Nc-
brnskn Candidate Has Tendered
Withdrawal.
Lincoln , April 20. Tho News says :
N. 1) . .laokHon of Nellgh ban with
drawn as a candidate for clerk of tbo
supremo court.
He ban sent word to .ludgo Harne.s
not to consider him longer in con
neetlon with the olllee and linn freo-l -
the Judge from any restraint that liln
candidacy may lum placed upon lila
action In selecting a cleric.
This is said by politicians ( o Indi
cate ( bat the chances of Harry C.
Lindsay for the place are growing
brighter , especially as .ludgo ImrncH
is Raid to be favorably inclined lo tbo
state chairman.
Mr. Jitchnou reached bin determina
tion Thursday lasl and at that I lino
let lila decision lie known lo JndjM <
nurnes nt Norfolk. As ho WIIB the
first choice of .ludgo ilurneH for Hie
clerkship Jimt mi Victor Seymour of
Lincoln appeared ( lie IIrut choice of
Judge Sedgwlck , Hie withdrawal ot
one candidate may mean the loss of
prestige for tbo other. Tho proas of
the stale ban been requesting the
Judges of late to gel together on Hie
question of tho appointment and Ililn
act of Mr. Jackson Is mild to bo the
llrsl step. C'om Ing as it doe.s , U IH
not believed that It moans a conces
sion by Judge ImrncH lo .ludgo Sedg
wick but rnllier a change of front to
a ( bird candidate.
Judge Sedgwick Is quoted as say-
Ing that he would not lot the peo'plo
down in Washington dictate his ap
pointment. TbiH was uttered when
tho < | ucHlon ! of appoint lug I lurry
Lindsay was presented and when tho
district tittorneyslilp had just been
settled and Lindsay's appointment to
the clerkship seemed a good way to
end the long pending dispute.
Hut now If Judge liiirnes leaven
Jackson and docs not go to Seymour
but stands ready to agree to tbo ap
pointment of Lindsay , who is pop
ular throughout the state and gener
ally regarded as deserving of sub
stantial recognition , Judge Sedgwick
will have a dllllcult task lo stem the
tide Llndsnyward. It is quite possible
that some oilier candidate might lie
picked up in the event that Mr. Lind
say is not agreed upon , however.
Harry Llndh.iy ia at present at I'avv
nee City. He loll Lincoln an soon as
ho wtih able to travel alter gelling
out of the hospital hero. His recovery
lias not leon rapid but lie Is thought
to lie mending slowly.
The appointment of a clerk lias
boon expected from tlnio to time as
tbo supreme court lias mot for tbo
past two months. At tbo sitting this
week tlio appointment is confidently
expected If the judges agree.
GOPHERS TOO CUNNING.
Experiment Station Finds Plntsch
Gas a Failure as Exterminator.
Louisville , Nob. , April 20. The Ne
braska experiment station lias been
making experiments with Plntsch gas
for Iho extermination of gophers in
this vicinity for some time. The flrnt
experiment was made in October of
last year on tlio fl. W. Hodlrego farm
by Prof. K A. Burnett. Tho experi
ments woro found to bo unsatisfac
tory and this week Prof. S. A very of
tlio same institution , renewed tlio ex
periments and lias arrived at tho con
clusion that while it will work suc
cessfully on prairie dogs , It does not
trouble tlio litllo pocket gopher in the
least , as ho Is too cunning and will
plug up his hole and prevents the
fumes from penetrating his homo.
Tlio substance used is a refuse from
tlio manufacture ) of Plntsch gas and
is very Inexpensive and it Is claimed
that an aero of ground can be rid of
prairie dogs at a cost of a very fow
conts. Tho pocket gopher is one of
the most destructive pests with which
tho Nebraska farmers have to con
tend and thoy often destroy acres of
corn , kill largo fruit tree orchards ,
and render meadows almost useless
by piling up their mounds promiscu
ously all over it.
Tho Nebraska experiment station
has spent a great deal of time and
money to find something that would
act as an exterminator of this little
post and Professors Burnett and
Avory were very much disappointed
in finding that Pintsch gas would not
do the work as tiiey had anticipated.

having boon duped by her lover IiUo

of tho groom played tho part of tho

Tomorrow , Arbor day , IH ( he date

roal OHlnlo auction wile which will clime
out Iho loin and acron of A. J. Dur
laud In Norfolk. There will be a
large crowd of luloroHlod puicluiHurH
and spectators nt ( he mile.
Tho sale which IH to lie executed
by Mr. Durland Is something that IUIH
never been attempted In Norfolk.
Wllliln lens than two days properly
valued at $ .riO,000 and divided Into
about 150 parts , will have changed
liaiulH.
Col. K. M. Wood , tlio blooded-live
slock auctioneer , will bo on hand lo
conduct the auction and from ( lie ad
vertising Hint has been done and ( he
number of iiKjulrloH received , It IH
evident thai Mr. Durland will have
a very largo crowd of foreign liusl-
nous men and Investors present.
T' Twenty-lirth Infantry baud , a
musical orgaiil/titlon well known in
Norfolk because of their concert hero
IIIH ! fall , will arrive to give a grand
concert at tbo grounds and will ulno
play for a grand concert and ball at
Marquardl hall tomorrow night ,
which promises to bo attended by a
largo and representative assembly ol
Norfolk people.
M1 'iy pcrsoiiH , believing thai Iho
hen M r to bo derived by Norfolk II
i-ell TOIII this sale must be great ,
have .signified tholr Intention ol go
ing to express In that way their ap
preciation.
The saio Is hound to bring outside
Investors Into Norfolk and tho owner
ship of city property by 150 men is
certain ( o lie worked Into Norfolk's
benefit when compared with one man
ownership , as it will In all probabil
ity bring new homebiillders to town
ami will bring the Inlorosl and at-
tcullon of more Investors to northern
Nebraska.
Tho property Is all going to remain
and there will bo ICO owners instead
of one.
Mr. Diirlaud has gone to consid
erable expense to make Ibis sale day
an extraordinary event. Tbo regi
mental baud which will bo boro , Is
composed of thirty pieces and IH , In
itself , one of tbo best bands in tlio
west. It will be well worth hearing
upon its own merit.
The pain that lias been adopted for
llic bidding , makes il very conve
nient for Hie liome-bnildor or the man
of small moans to purchase i Is and
acres. The liberal time al' ' > eil , in
tlio two year plan or in Hie Monthly
payment scheme , gives ever ad van
trtgo to tlio purchaser and gets him .
tlio money at the reasonable rate of' '
six per cent. j
Tlioro will lio vehicles to transport j
peoplo from one lot to another as tin
sale progresses and there will be
lunch served at tiio sale. The prices
will no doubt range low enough to
make each buying a bargain and Co
Wood ought to experience no trouble
in wrapping up tlio packages very
rapidly.
