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.

A member of the Norfolk party who
went up to locate claims In the Rose

Sunday evening as follows :
There will bo a hot time in the

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

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

young man who was killed In Nor

The burial In the county poor farm

In that manner. The difference In
the expense was but a few dollars.
No now light has as yet boon

which Dan Dee was so nnxlous to got
hold of. The grip wns not hold ns

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

Dan Dee has not been sent for as
yet. It Is not known whether ho wll

eye witness to the shooting , through

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

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

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.

ANOTHER PARTY OF RAILROAD
OFFICIALS VISIT.
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.

PAULINE , THE FAIR ONE , IS
STANDED IN THE STREET.
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE JUST $90.
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. "
