THK NORKIK ( ) NKWS : I'MUDAT ' , AUGUST 12 , 1904. STRICTLY LOCAL WEATHER OF INTENSE QUALITY , DAMAGE WAS NOT EXTENSIVE Lack of Wind Permitted the Icy Par ticles to Fall Straight to Earth A Contrast In Temperatures Inside n Few Hours. One of the heaviest AIIKUMI storms over known In this district struck Norfolk IntU ovonlng soon after f > o'clock nml before six the wet at of It \VKH ever , although a little rain foil Inter In Iho im-nlng. Thuiulor anil lightning accompanied the heavy downpour of rain , hut Ha principal charactorlHtlc was the hull that loll. The Icy stones clattered down nt n llvoly rate and rntiKcd In s'/o from nhout nn Inch In dlamoter to that of n pea. They punctured holes throMKli the largo loaves , Htrlpped imalloi' ones off Iho trees and other growing vegetation nud cut the corn leave * Into rlhhoiiH. On the ground they as HOinblcd In groups and windrows and It looked na though much dnninnc had boon dor.o , particularly to the moro tender vegetation , hut this morning not a lar o amount of harm was dls covorahlo. Fortunately Ihero was nc wind and the Icy homhardment caino nlmost straight to earth from the cloudH nhovo , mid fortunately nlso the heavloHt liallfnll wn.i In a com imrntlvoly narrow district , the hem- * lost of It seomlng to ho In this Immo dlnto vicinity. At Moiilo\v ( Orovo there was i1 Btorm , hut Battle Crook was loft hlgl and dry , whllo three miles weal o Norfolk the farmorn were working li their Holds unconscious of the fan that n atorm of considerable stronu oslty WBH raging horo. Not Extensive , To the north there was not mud of a Htorm , hut the extent ol the ills turhnnco to the south and the oaa waa wider , although It has not boor reported that there was greater dam ngo than horo. The storm appearot to form ever Norfolk , and was n vorj mild looking affair on the start , n ! the dlaturhanco appearing to conn : from u cloud of not moro than hal u mlle In dlamoter , hut It kept In creasing In density and spreading on until lights wore needed for work litho the hnlldlnga , and It took nearly at hour for It to oxhauat Its fury. The rain fell In torrents ono and I four hundredths InchoH being shown i In Or. Sailer's government rain guago this morning. It soaked the ground 1 and converted the ditches Into run ning sti earns and made of low places small lakes and frog ponds. It wnsT ono of the most Intense rainstorms during the tlmo It lasted of the entire - tire season , and there will be no no other needed by the crops for weeks. Storm Breeding Afternoon. The storm was bred by an after noon of as Intense heat and oppres sion as has been experienced this son- son. The thermometer registered nt ninety-three degreea na Its high point but the hull mul the rain quickly low ered It In the tube until this morning n temperature of fifty-three degrees was recorded. The barometer , regis tering nt 20.01 gave promise that ' there would bo no repetition of the storm In the Immediate future A GREAT CROP OF BLACKBERRIES Mr. Wells of Warnervllle Precinct , dithered Twenty Bushels From His Patch This Year. It hns been demonstrated on the farm of Mr.Volls \Vnrnervllle pre cinct , that this country can prodce blackberries of excellent quality and In abundance. Mr. Wells Is just com pleting the gathering of twenty bush els of this fruit this year from his patch. The berries are large , well formed nml of extra good quality. Much of the fruit has been retailed In Norfolk and those who secured a portion of the product consider themselves ro- 1 jnarkahly fortunate owing to the fact that there was not an overly abun dant supply of this fruit on the mar- Iset from the regular sources this year. , i NORFOLK CLAIMANTS ON ROSEBUD Find Something Doing and Prospect for Excitement When the Filing Begins May be Shooting. A member of the Norfolk party who went up to locate claims In the Rose bud writes The News under date of Sunday evening as follows : There will bo a hot time in the now towns tonight. There are prob ably 300 to 400 squatters In each of the first three towns In the reserva tion holding down business and resi dence lots at the point of revolvers and shot guns. Yesterday morning as we passed the first town Roosevelt there were two tents to bo seen. At Burke we hunted for the section corner for some time and found the stake n few feet away. From It wo adjusted our compass and drove o-i to Gregory , the third town , where we found a good well of water of which wo all drank freely. Driving south' west from there we found several sections of as fine land as there is In Wayne county. Wo stayed all night with Thomas Cutchalls. Along with .about fifty other travelers we returned , keeping close to the north bank of the 101101 until wo cnmo op- IKiNlto Intrhe when our mirprlsos be gun nt HPolnn tciitu , wagons and people ple by the hundred * , nil of which sprang up within twenty-four bourn.

It Is wills- pored mound Uoiiotool tonight that thlH plan will bo nlmndonud tomorrow and applicants will bo allowed to draw for tholr lots , which would seem to bo Ilii' wlxer plan. There will bo something doing here and on Iho ron- orvntlon tomorrow. REMAINS OF YOUNG DOSTONIAN LAID TO REST HERE. INSTEAD OF AT COUNTY FARM No New Light Has Been Thrown Upon the Mysterious Grip Which Dan Dee Was so Anxious to Get Hold of Grip Not Held as Evidence The remains of I ouls Anltman , the young man who was killed In Nor folk hist week by Policeman Carl I'll gor.'woro laid to rest In Prospect Hill cemetery Instead of In the county | Nor farm burial ground , Saturday afternoon The burial In the county poor farm grounds was rofiiHod by County Conv mlHslonor George Smith , who pro ferrcd not to acknowledge the debt In that manner. The difference In the expense was but a few dollars. No now light has as yet boon tin own upon the mysterious grip which Dan Dee was so nnxlous to got hold of. The grip wns not hold ns evidence , nml Dan Doe , with the money , if there wns tiny , hns dlsnp poaroil none knows where During nil of the tlmo that ho was In the hospital , Aultnmn never once made n grammntlcal error nml never ouco used nn onth of nuy sort. It IB said by Dostonlans thnt-Lover ott street Is n very poor portion o the city and that accounts for the fact that the father hnd no money for ex PIMIHOS. Dan Dee has not been sent for as yet. It Is not known whether ho wll bo ncodod or not , He was the only eye witness to the shooting , through out. "Dendwood Dick , " to whom In his delirium ho thought ho spoke. Is said by traveling men who know the tor rltory to ho n woman. She is a waitress ross In a hotel at Deadwood. She wa for several years at the Bullock , Dead wood. Bonesteel Gams Regret. A gentleman who was all throng the trouble nt nonesteol was In tli city today , nnd ho snys that when I wns learned In Oonosteel thnt Aul mnn had boon shot there wns gonorn regret nmong the "profosh. " Th gamblers , square and grafters , n hnd a good deal of admiration fo - Aultmnn , who was considered ono o the brightest men of his class 1 , BonoHteol. Ho Is credited with havIng Ing been one of the smoothest work ors In Bonosteel during the tumu Minns times of that last week. The Bonesteol people , however , be llovo thnt Dan Dee , whose grip wa stolen by Anltman , Is just as bad a the man who was killed. The oplnlo there Is that If the two men were no partners they were at least engage In the same business. Ono theory I that If they wore partners that th money thnt had been cleaned up a Bonestool was In the grip , and Aul man took ndvnntnge of Dee's tempo rnry absence while the train wa standing at the station , and sllppo away with It. Another version of th affair is that they were not partner hut were both grafters , and that Aul mnn know that Dee had a good reIn In the grip and proposed to get awa with It. At any rate there Is an linpresslo both here and at Bonesteel that then were $2,000 Involved In the transac tlon , and the belief Is gaining groun that the money was In the grip. I It was then Dan Dee has It. be cause the property clafmed as stole was turned over to him and he wen on his way to Denver. One thing I certain , no money was found on th person of the man who was shot , ou sldo of GO cents In change. FUNERAL OF FRANK AMBROZ.

The Pipe Dreamer ; For the Time Be ing In Another World , Smoked Away In Ecstasy , Undisturbed First of the Kind In This City. On the last night of the nromen'h tournament In this city , occurred probably an Incident which has not boforc been witnessed In Norfolk which will not bo repeated within n Iwi'lvomoiilh. It wan the transfer ring , for the tlmo being , of n little dingy room Into an opium don for nil the world. In a tiny , one-ntory building In the business part of the city , at 2 o'clock In the morning , nn opium llond , toast- lug his little bits of drug , cramming them Hlowly and deliberately Into the bowl of IIH ! peculiar pipe , and then smoking nwiiy Into the dawn of n now day , dropped off Into plpo dreams of the rarest typo , nnd lived , for a little while , In another world , utterly obllvloiiH to all that wont on nhout him. him.Chief Chief of Polco Kane was n witness o the Hpectnclo. He did not arrest he follow , because there IB no ordln- nee In Norfolk against it. But lie lid Htunil on the ontsldo of that build- ng ami watch , for n good long whllo , ho work of the old toper and the oronlty of expression thnt appeared ipon the facial features. The man , lying on the floor , would ako n long puff nt thnt plpo , his oycs A'ould close rtnd his bond would drop n'or to one sldo. A look that wns mlf n smile and half n volco In Itself , lo.Hponklng untold ccstncy , crept over ho lips and the opium llond bad flown nwny Into his paradise. RAILROADS ARE GETTING CARS FOR INCREASED BUSINESS SWITCHING YARDS FILLING UP. All Available Box Cars are Being Sidetracked In Grain Country to Handle the Traffic When it Starts. Many Will Hold Crop. The railroads have taken note of the fact that there will bo n large amount of grain to move In Nebraska beginning soon and the Norfolk switching yards as well as others throughout the state are filling with box cars for the handling of the grain shipments. Among thorn are likewise stock cars which will soon begin to move the fatted animals to market , and In a few weeks the life of the railroad man will ho ono of stronuousneas. Thousands of bush els of grain and thousands of animals will be hurried to the market soon by those who are not Inclined to hold on for the bettor markets at the close of the shipping season. More farmers are prepared to hold for their own prices this year than ever before but there will bo much grain for which they will not have storage mom , and their plan will bo to get the product on the market as soon as It is threshed. Besides there Is some risk and expense in holding grain which many of the producers will not care to assume and they will hurry their grain to market before the rush comes thnt usually results In a lowering of the prices. Reports from all along the North western line Is that there will be an unusually large crop of grain and the officials are taking extra care to see that there are plenty of cars available for the movement. The company's own cars are being held closely to tholr territory , and besides that the cars of other companies that will have no Immediate demand for tholr rolling stock of this character are being brought In for the rush. To further prepare for the business the Northwestern has recently given an order for 1.000 new box cars of 80,000 pounds capacity each and these will bo rushed Into the grain growing communities as soon as ready. The extent of the early rush de pends largely on how badly the farmers may need the money , but It Is probable that they will not need the money as badly as they will need the room for storage , as the prospects - pects are that they will not bo able to care for nearly all of the crop that their Holds will yield. Very many of the farmers have money on deposit In the banks and It will be some oth er reason that will Influence them to get tholr grain on the market.

THERE IS SOMETHING ON FOOT Whether it is the Building of a New Line North of Norfolk Into the Rosebud Country , or Connecting of Norfolk and Yankton , Unknown. That the Union Pacific railroad company is planning to do something in Norfolk or out of Norfolk , is evi denced by another visit to this city within the past few days of a car load of officials. Included in the par ty wore General Superintendent J. M. Gruber and Superintendent W. A. Deuell. They arrived in the city silently , Inspected their property In Norfolk , looked around the station , rested their eyes upon the spot where stands the charred location of the former roundhouse , and withdrew. The fact that the Union Pacific does not replace that roundhouse also looks like there might be something doing before long. What that something Is whether It be a new line Is not known. Evidently there is something , how ever.

Her Wages For Being the Beauty Since Last April , Taking Out the Cost of Her Meals and the Little for Her Wardrobe , Are Gone. The "ten thousand dollar beauty , " the woman whose picture appeared In llnring colors upon the bill boards at Bonosteel and who was a much ad vertised creature , by niiuins of the megaphone ' man in front of the Ori ental Joint at the firemen's tournn- ment In tills city , IH stranded In the streets of Norfolk without a red cent. The oriental dame would bo thank ful for 23 cents with which to buy her next meal. Tossing to the four winds of the Insignificant sum of $9,910 , the "beauty" would bo tickled to death to get Just $90 which she claims the show outfit owe her for her valuable services In the show business since last April. So eager did she become for that amount that she attempted to attach the show property , but the attach ment was Incomplete , as the Dick Triplets had gaily gone before the papers were served. As a result , stranded In the city streets , wandering lonesomely along Pauline for Pauline is her name is weeping all the day. The other part of Pauline's name Is Jone , but she couldn't help It , she says. _ Just plain Jones. She never has that fact advertised. It mlgh take off the oriental tone of the per formance. But "Pauline" sounds well enough and so she goes by that This is not the "Nay , nay Pauline" that you used to read about This is the original. Inimitable Pauline with no "nay" to It. Pauline is very angry at the man who ran the show and who , by virtue of her beauty , allowing the ravenous eyes of awny-from-home men to feast upon her shoulders for 25 cents per feast scarcely the price of a square meal has made more money than he knows what to do with this summer. In lieu of anything better he has given most of what he made during the season to the town board of Bone- steel nnd the local firemen's com mittee. For , strange as It may seem , Pauline the Fair failed to attract the 01 men mat sue reauy migni have done. Pauline i& petite. She is extremely Mttle. She Is the tiny one who would fome out on the platform with all if the others , before each and every lerformance , and who would sing in gentle tones during the grand free exhibition on the outside. And then when you got Inside , Pauline would sing another song and pass through the crowd to sell her book of clever music , all written especially for her. She sold these for a dime each , though they were , she said worth a quarter any day. But Pauline didn't sell enough of them to buy a railroad ticket back to St. Joseph , Missouri , where she came from. Perhaps as much of a wonderful feature In regard to Pauline as any thing else , was the fact that she came from Missouri. She says she couldn't help that any more than she could her name of Jones. And she wouldn't try , any how. how.At At all events Pauline used to live In St. Joseph , before she got to be a "ten thousand dollar" beauty. When she woke up one morning to discover how much she was really worth , she stole away from her humble , cosy little home , where she lived with her dear old mother , and Joined the show. "t was always crazy to Join the show , " said Pauline today. "Tho life had such a fascination about it all , you know. " But all is not gold that glitters. That's what Pauline opines today. The show has lost Its glitter , the fascination in the life of the show girl has worn off the outside plate and Is pure tin. The fun in doing the "beauty" stunt isn't fun at all , after you have been at It for seven or eight weeks. "It was awfully hard work , " said Pauline. "The hardest work I ever did. " "What did you ever work at be fore ? " was asked. "Nothing , " Pauline simply said. Didn't Really Know. "I didn't know what kind of a show I was getting into , " said Pauline , the Petite One , when she had filled out attachment papers In the office of Justice Fuller. "Else I never should have left my happy home. " When Pauline , In charge of an of ficer , went down to serve attachment papers for the ninety slmoleons which the show owes her , Pauline , dis mayed , discovered that the tents had been struck and the bold , bad man had Jumped the town. Ho had start ed away , way off toward Devil's Lake by way.of Sioux City. "Oh , they have fed mo , " said the beauteous creature , thankful for that , and smiling merrily through her tears. "They have fed me and have bought me clothing for the show , you know. But you see that wouldn't take much from the bill of my wages , or wo haven't oaten nt expensive places , and the other well , the cost j of the skirts didn't break the bank.
