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.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUDLIC INSTRUCTION - |
STRUCTION HERE.
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.
Delights of Colorado's Winter Climate
After spending ten days at the Alt
bany , Instead of two , ns he had origin-
ally planned , Dr. n. 0. Floyd of EH-
reka Springs , Ark. , left last evening ,
with his bride for California , where he
expects to remain two days instead of
ten. This upsetting of Dr. Floyd's
plans Is due entirely to the delights'
of Colorado's wlnler climate.
" 1 cannot understand why your people
ple have been so slow In coming to a
full realization of tlio possibilities of
j Colorado as a winter resort , " declared
I the doctor , who Is not only president
of the commercial club of Eureka
Springs , hut also nt the hend'of the
Odd Fellows of Arkansas. "Why , you
simply have all these advertised 'win
ter resorts' nailed to the mnst ! "

COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS NEARLY - .
LY LOST THEIR LIVES.
FROM FAIRFAX TO BONESTEEL

Aroiisoii and II. ( Jret'iibaU , u trio of
commercial travelers who cover the
northwest , had the Hovorest experi
ence of their lives In Gregory county ,
S. IJ. , last Thursday. With frozen
hands and frozen can ) , after having
walked two weary mllus , they Dually
arrived at their destination.
There were no trains running on
ThurHilay between Fairfax and Hono-
Hteel , on account of the blizzard.
These three commercial men were at
Fairfax and needed to get to Hone-
Hteel. So they attempted to drive. Al
though It IH almost possible , on a clear
day , lo HOO ono town from the other
aH a viewpoint , It wan the hardest
journey that any ono of these three
travelers In u dozen years of travel ,
IIIIH experienced.
When they had gene Into the coun
try for a short distance , the travelers
came In contact with lingo drifts.
They ' got into a big ravine and tlioro
Huomed to bo no way out. Try as
they would , they were totally unable
to llnd a means of getting through or
over the drlttH. The snow was packed
ten feet high before them and the
wind , whipping the tine , powdery
stutr terrifically about , so Illlod the
all' with whiteness that It was Impos
sible to see oven the telephone poles
along the roadside.
After having walked for two miles ,
leading and aiding the horses , the
men were finally able to progress Irtit
the drive took just seven hours In all.

The Grip.
"Hoforo wo can sympathize with
others , wo must have suffered our
selves. " No ono can describe to you
the I suffering attending a nattack of
the ' grip , unless you have had the ac-
unl experience. There Is probably
no disease that causes so much phys-
cal and mental agony , or which so
successfullly defies medical , aid. All
lauger from the grip , however , maybe
bo avoided by the prompt use of
hamberlaln's Cough remedy. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy , not one case has ever
been rex | > rted that has resulted In
pneumonia or Miat has not recovered.

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

AN ALL NIGHT BATTLE.
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. In repairing
this the engineer was drenched to the
skin nnd when he arrived here his
outer clothing nnd underwear were
frozen solid.
if
The entire train crow were nt work a'
all night shoveling snow and when
daylight came the train was backed

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. "
