' MEMORIES OF JUDGE CRAWFORD Was the First Practicing Attorney In Northern Nebraska. The death of Judge Crawford of West Point came as a shock to many Norfolk men who had been associated with him years ago In the legal pro fession. Judge Crawford was the first practicing attorney In northeast ern Nebraska and was one of these rugged pioneers who helped make the country what It Is today. Judge Crawford and \V. M. Hubert- BOH of thlB city were pitted against each other In the race for district judgcship In 1SS ! > , when Crawford was olected. Later Judge Isaac Powers of this city defeated Crawford for the same position. Those were the days when the entire north Platte country comprised a judicial district and two judges were required to till the Held. Judge Ilarnes , now of the supreme court of Nebraska , well remembers , i the days when ho practiced before the , i court of Judge Crawford. Many a i i case has the present supreme judge I battled for In the mind of the man , I who now lies dead In his. homo at L | | West Point. , | I Judge Crawford was a stern , posl- I j tlvo judge. Ho Is said to have made1 an attorney battle for every point j through a case.V. . M. Robertson tried two murder cases before llm ) whlelmre distinctly recorded still in the Norfolk man's memory. Credit , I [ Is given to Judge Crawford for being a clear type of self made man What j ever lie was , he was , himself , respon i sible for. j The town of Crawford was named , I for Judge Crawford j\ist \ as the town of Valentino was named for Judge | Valentine. In later years Judge Craw ford had declined very greatly and ho was In an extremely feeble condition at the time of his death. At ono time he had been a bank president and had been worth considerable property. Ho was a democrat of the old school and It issald , that It was due largely lo his counsel that Oovarnor Hoyd was able to retain the gubernatorial chair.

FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS Superintendent O'Connor Will Hold His Position for the Next Three Years Miss Elliott Will Succeed Mr. Barnes in Sixth Grade Work , At n meeting of the board of educa tion held last night , Superintendent 1) . C. O'Connor , who has BO success fully conducted the work of the pub lic schools In Norfolk during n long period of past years , was re-elected to till the position for the ensuing three years at least , and Miss Alllo El- Ilott , formerly of Wlnsldo but now a teacher at llosklns with her linmo In NorfolkWIIH selected lo illl the va cancy nuido by A. K. Itariies In the Hlxth grade. The net Ion of the board of education Is but a token of the estcom In which they , IIH the represontntlvcH of the public , hold the Hiiperlntendent , IIH the head of the public HchoolH system of Norfolk. The present high stand ing of the Norfolk schools bespeak the success with which Mr. O'Connor has managed the affairs during bis suporlntondoncy. Ho came to Nor folk to succeed W. J. Oonn about 1 eight years ago , previously having been at West Point. He has succeeded In building up the standards of the Norfolk schools until - til they are recognized as high by ed- ucatlonal leaders In Nebraska. Mr. O'Connor has actively represented Norfolk In state associations and has been able to keep In touch with all of the now methods of work that are constantly being developed. Miss Elliott , who takes the work of the sixth grade , was the victim ( ) f n railway accident near Wlnsldo a few years ago , which will probably bo re- membered by Norfolk people. The carriage In which she was riding was struck by a train near Wlnsldo and her sister was killed. The vacancy Is due to the fact that Mr. Names i succeeds Miss Watson In the eighth grade , MlBS AVatson filling the vacancy - cy In the high school caused by the resignation of Miss Slsson.

THOUGH STORMY , IT BROUGHT MIRTH AND JOY. TO LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN There Were the Same Fantastic Cre ations of Sentiment and the Same Tender Messages of Love The Old er Set Live on it the Year Round. This Is St. Valentino's day. St. Valentine doesn't make any par ticular claim to it , now that It has appeared , but he has been planning for it for so long a time that the pub lic is willing ho Hliould tnko It , such as It is. They wish , Indeed , that bo had tied 11 up and kept It at home In the back yard , rather than turn H loose In this fearful manner. The storm cuts little ice , however , with the spirit which pervades the sender of a valentine and the receiver of the same. Perhaps the boating and pounding and blowing "f 'he ' weather without even tends in a way to locU up more firmly and more permanently the heart's emotion which prompted the valentine In the first place. It was a happy day for the llltli men and women who had lain nwak-e nights in anticipation of Hie event and who awoke this morning with soulsful of joy over the actual arrival and ' the release of their little messag es and pretty ones and homely ones , cJ just J as there have always been and always i will. Tlioro were awful , hid eons effects in the pen and ink drawIngs - Ings i , with ugliness portrayed on ev cry feature and the accompanying comic rhyme below. There were feelings j ings wounded by these which can nev er be sothor , perchance , but It was al In the gleeful game. Then there were the fetching ere atlons In the beautiful sort. Theio were fine , filmy-papered things , with a do/.en folds to hide the innermost bit of sentiment expressed , and after you had dug down far enough the lit tie poems were revealed , poems which Kent out messages of love that would melt In the inputh of the hardest hearted creature that ever lived. And- these , bringing home to whom- ver received them the fact that some where in the world there lingered an appreciation of their true worth served to cheer and encourage and make the world easier. The schools were tilled with delight ed laughter as an effect of St. Valen lino's day. The pupils have been busy making up fantaslic cardboard dreams for weeks , and today brought a ell max to It all. At noon they ran homo to let the world their world know what they had won. To the older boys and girls those who long ago passed the age of the comic affair there was a sentiment of the lingering youth expressed to day. Silently , perhaps , but with violets lets and letlers that teemed with fra grant thoughts , the older boys aiu girls sent tlu'r valentines valentines which meant just the same things identically as did the more gaudy from the lltllo folk. Hut after all the sentiment ex pressed by the little beau who Bends the foxiest valentine ho- can buy , Is the Bamo sentiment that makes the world go round , among the older set The only difference Is that Valentin day for them conies every day In th year , or ought to , Instead of merely on Iho fourteenth day of each succeed j. | ing February.

Engineer Ponder of the Great North- ern Fainted After Ordeal. O'Neill , Neb. , Feb. 1-1. The pas senger train on the Great Northern from Sioux City , duo hero at 9 : DO , pulled In a little before 9 o'clock In the morning , witli three snow-covered , ice-bound engines , after an all-night struggle In adamant snow drifts thir ty miles , east of here. As the tbree-engincd train pulled Into the yards , Engineer Ed Ponder , carrying the snowplow , threw open I his whistle for the station and then fell from his seat in the cab uncon scious nnd exhausted. The fireman ' climbed into the engineer's seat nnd | took charge , while the train was pulled up to the depot. Pcndor was carried Into the waiting room nnd Clp placed on n cot. Dr. Trtioblood was - called and restoratives were administered - ' * istered , but up until noon the ongi- * , IfT had not regained consciousness. * % The doctor did not coiiHldor his con- dltlon serious. The forces of nature ' were exhausted by an all-night struggle - glo with Ice nml snow. The train wna stalled In a cut a short distance this Hide of Savage. Then II ran Into a heavy snow drift there at 11 o'clock nnd did not get out until 7:25 : next morning. A plpo broke on Pender'a engine , causing leakage from the boiler.

One cent n word is not too expensive to try It NORFOLK NEED FEAR NO SHORTAGE - AGE FOR REASONABLE TIME. CARS ARE ON THE WAY HERE And as Soon as the Railroads are Opened , There Will be Enough Coal In Town to Last the Rest of the Winter Omaha Has Run Short. A good supply of coal among Nor folk dealers has saved this city and will for some time to come , from a shortage in fuel supply. With nn end to the storm and the railroad block ades within any reasonable period , there will bo no dliflculty whatever in supplying the needs of the city of Norfolk- . Yesterday two cars of coal arrived ' in j the city nnd there are any number of other cars enronte to Norfolk , which will arrive just ns soon as the snow gets off the tracks sufficiently " ' f to allow the running of freight trains. There are in some of the yards pretty good supplies of lump coal , others have good stock's of nut coal , some are well supplied with steam coal and , on the whole , It Is thought that , with an end to the storm within a reasonable time , there will not be- much danger. One dealer reports n stock large enough to fill his regular orders for six weeks to come. , Omaha is reported to be short on > jf coal. A telephone message to one of the dealers there this morning brought the information that there Is not a pound of nut coal In the town which can bo bought In carload lots nnd that the supply on band will hard ly last the city twenty-four hours. Northwest Short on Coal. Reports from towns along the main line of the Northwestern and up the Donestee.1 line indicate that In many towns the coal supply Is becoming quite alarmingly short and that unless relief is brought by way of the freight service before long , there will be fuel i famines in many places. - "f telephoned to Omaha this morn ing , " said one dealer today , "and was told that they were two weeks behind in their orders now. All that could be bought there is occasionally a car of steam coal , and any old kind of steam -coal at that.
