THE POPULAR CAMPING GROUNDS
WILL BE IMPROVED.
OLD HERMIT IS GOING INSANE
"Uncle Johnny , " Who Has Lived All
Alone at the Yellow Banks Ever
Since the Oldest Inhabitant Can Re
member , Is Losing His Reason.
[ From Saturdny'n Dally. ]
Norfolk people , and those living In
Plorce , Meadow Grove , Battle Crook ,
Madison and other towns near the
Yellow Banks , who enjoy the scenic
beauty of that wooded spot llt'teon
miles northwest of here and who have ,
In the past , spent many a day and
week camping there under the eye of
the monstrous bluffs and on the brink
of the Elkhorn river , are to bo made
the benellclarlcs of a change which
will take place there before another
summer rolls around. For the express
purpose of making the grounds more
dollghtful for the campers , the owners
of the Yellow Banks arc now planning
to make extensive changes and to
adopt now rules which will render the
resort less of a public place than It
has been In the past.
The fence which now shuts off the
pasture south of the main road , be
yond the springs that furnish drinking
water , Is to bo moved several rods
further back , so that campers heroaf-
, or will bo allowed to pitch their tents
some distance further south than In
the past. A rule will bo made , too ,
lint no campers will bo allowed on the
) lace who are not friends of the owner
> f the ground , and all carousing , which
; ho owners are complaining of because
of actions of some strangers who have
nrrlved thcro from other places than
Norfolk , will bo eliminated.
Johnny , the Hermit , Going Insane.
Everybody who has over been at the
Yellow Banks , has scon "Undo John
ny , the hermit. " Everybody in this
neighborhood , who has been at the
place , has heard of this queer old
character. And those who have boon
visiting the Banks for years and years
will regret to learn that Undo Johnny
shows signs of losing his mind. In
fact ho Is believed by many to have
already become Insane as a result of
the lonely life that ho has been living
out there during the past quarter century
tury or more.
There is a mystery wrapped up In
the life of Undo Johnny. Nobody
seems to know the truth of his story ,
but there Is a love affair at the bottom
of It somewhere , it Is declared b >
those who have long known the old
man.
"Undo Johnny" is a little , dried up
old man who has lived a hermit's life
at the Yellow Banks ever since any
one can remember. He fought In the
famous battle of Battle Creek , against
the Indians , fifty years ago. Ho has
always lived all alone , and the time
was when he was very bashful about
even talking to a woman.
Ills mind Is In a rambling condition.
TWO MEN , SIX DAYS , ONE TROUT
Dr. C. S. Parker and J. S. Mathewson
Had "Rare" Sport.
One lone trout rewarded the seven
days of effort expended by Storrs
Mathowson and Dr. C. S. Parker , who
returned at noon- from Long Pine. Ex
pecting to enjoy a week of rare sport ,
they found that heavy rains had so
swollen the Long Pine creek that
trout fishing was out of the question.
From the ravines and hills for miles
around Long Pine creek was fed with
the surplus water which had come
from a five-Inch rain , and the result
was that the stream which Is eighteen
Inches deep normally was several feet
deep , and filled with rubbish of all
sorts.
The one trout which was hooked ,
came swishing out of the water on
Mr. Mathowson's lino. And this fish ,
according to Dr. Parker , was the vic
tim of circumstances.
"A rainbow trout , " says Dr. Parker ,
"gets Us name from its rainbow color
and from the rainbow curve It cuts
In the water when it jumps out. And
BO Mathewson deckled to hook one of
the animals when it jumped out and
cut that rainbow caper. He waited
w.lth his hook , thing it at the llsh when
it jumped , and landed It. But after
the finny thing had como ashore , we
were able to discover that had only
one eye and the good eye was on the
off side , away from us. Otherwise it
never would have been caught"

about II o'clock this town and vicinity
were visited by a very severe rain
and wind Htorm. The water came

Htioug that the north end of the second

ing waH blown In. The workmen had

Nollgh , Neb. , Aug. 11. Special to
The News : The Immediate vicinity of
Nellgh was visited by a rain yester
day afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock ,

"HAPPY JACK" FROM ShOSHONI
Telegram Came to Gambler From the
West , In Norfolk Today.
When the noon train from the west
rolled Into Norfolk Junction today ,
there stopped from a car platform a
good natured looking fellow clad In a
gorgeously checkered suit of clothes.
A telegraph man approached and
handed the stranger a nnssago
wrapped In an envelope which bore
the name , "Happy Jack. "
"That's mo , for sure , " said the
stranger. Ho tore open the enveloe
and exposed to view a line of figures ,
something like this : " 432-CB8-24. "
"Happy Jack" was evidently a gam
bler from Shoshonl , going back to his
eastern haunts.
And this Is not the first gambler
who has passed through Norfolk from
Shoshonl during the past week. Last
Friday there was a big bunch of them.
They were rough and loud , and had
chips on their shoulders. They had
been driven from Shoshonl the day
before , and they wore sore.
At Chndron , according to a West
Point woman who came through on
that train , there was a gun play in the
train and a bad fight. The conductor
and hrakoman were afraid to inter
fere with the fighters , and allowed the
fight to proceed until it was completed
Trains from the west during the
past few days have been badly crowd
ed. Yesterday there were three sleep
ers on , and there was hardly a vacant
seat in the train.
Harrlman's Great Work.
On the occasion of the great San
Francisco disaster the entire resources
of the Southern Pacific company were
employed to their utmost In saving
and relieving the people. They were
the first to order by wire , from adja
cent cities , carloads of food supplies
for free distribution. They threw opei
their gates , and passengers were carried
riod free on their ferry steamers
which never stopped running from Sai
Francisco to Oakland pier. They rat
steamers around the water front pick
Ing up all refugees congregated on the
wharves for safety. From Oakland
pier the people were carried free to
whatever point they could care for
themselves or bo cared for whether
it was Berkeley , Cal. , or Boston
Mass. ; Portland , Ore. , or Portland
Maine. Within ton days the Southen
Pacific company carried free 224,069
passengers. The value of which , computed
putod at lowest rates for the class o
service rendered , amounted to $540 ,
OS3.C9 , and this covers only the earn
Ings of the line west of El Paso.
Canvass of accommodations in the
interior of the state was made that ref
ugees might be properly directed
Canvass of avenues of employmen
was made by wiring largo Industrie
that employment might be provided
Information bureaus were established
at nine points In the burned district o
San Francisco , which were served bj
horseback riders and automobiles
Messengers carrying bulletins relatlv
to train service , relief work , Infonna
tlon about finding people and genera
public information , Including state
ment of accommodations for relief a
outside cities. Inquiries from eastern
cities by the thousands from caston
friends regarding missing people wcr
answered as far as possible , the ofi
cors using all the avenues at the !
command.
Transportation for relief commit
tees , hospital corps , physicians am
nurses were arranged for on a larg
scale between adjacent cities and Sa
Francisco. The state health boar
was given free transportation for it
employes In the sanitary service
Transportation of relief supplies wa
given precedence over all other trains
Nearly all were run on passenger tral
time. Milk , bread , etc. , which wor
badly needed , were brought In free i
baggage cars.
Gasoline for automobiles early be
came exhausted , and a large numbe
of machines in the service of emer
gency hospitals , physicians , mllltar
and civil authorities and relief com
mlttees were tied up. The Souther
Pacific company furnished for thes
machines every drop of gasoline in it
stores. In addition , it wired to nearb
cities for all automobile parts whlc
ere likely to bo needed in an omor-
ency. Those were supplied free to
inyono engaged In omcrgncy and ro >
of service.
The transportation of relief supplies
rom April 18 to May 23 , computed at
owest tariff rates over the Southern
aclllc company , Union Pacific rail-
oad company , Oregon Short Line rail-
oad , and the Oregon nllllroad and
Navigation company , amounted to
115,100.00 , representing lOGU full car-
oad shipments. This does not Include
uslncss handled by the express com-
anles. of which there were quite a
oed many cars on which the railroad
ompany received no compensation.
Much more than this has been done
y the Southern Pacific company since
ates named , so that their entire con-
rlbntlon runs way beyond $1,000,000.
Before accurate or adequate lufor-
latlon could bo gotten by the San
'arnclsco olllco to President Harrlman
o was rushing by special train to the
cone of disaster. For several weeks
o maintained headquarters in his
ar at Oakland pier , surrounded by
10 operating and traffic officers of the
oad. Ho was in close and constant
lorsonal touch with the civil and mill-
ary authorities , relief committees ,
tc. , attended several committee meet-
ngs dally , and took a prominent and
iclpful part In every movement for
he rehabilitation of San Francisco.
There was nothing that the com-
any's officers could think of that
vould prove helpful that thqy did not
o. .Neither mqn or moans were
pared to accomplish the company's
bject to care for the people. While
11 this was done under the most try-
ilg circumstances and difficult condl-
ions , to the credit of the Southern
Pacific company's operating depart-
lent bo It said , that It was done with-
ut one accident and without injury
o life or limb of a single passenger ,
'ho Now York Sun has truly said ,
the Southern Pacific company made
world's record. "

amcs Goldgraber , a saloon-keeper of

cently Indicted by the grand jury for
islng Anheuser-Busch Budwclser la
bels , taken from empty bottles and

icor brewed by other broworles and
selling same as Budwelser , was con
victed and fined $100.00 in Judge
Moore's court.
The case was vigorously prosecuted

inuod Tuesday until the jury went out

mlf a verdict of guilty was returned

Moulton pitched a fine game and
his home run was the star hit of the
game. Hughes played an excellent
game at center. Cushman stopped
everything that came his way and his
batting was a feature. "Old Dave' *

time and the fats could hardly connect
with It. Iswald made the winning run
in the twelfth. Henderson was a
shark at short. Allen made a lo\eljr
two bagger. Gettlnger played fast un
til the second , when ho was hit on the
thumb with the ball and had tl retire.

The Norfolk Red Tops wish to deny
the story that was published In Madi
son about the game last Sunday. It
seems Madison had their own umpire ,
who favored them all the game. In
the first half of the ninth the Reds-
'had one man on first and the man at
bat knocked a pop-fly to the second
baseman , who stood on the line to
catch the ball. The man from first
started to run for second and In doing
so brushed by the second-baseman and
accidently knocked the glove from his
hand. The second baseman then tried
to catch the ball and failed. Then the
umpire called the Norfolk boy on second
end out for Interfering with a player ,
which Norfolk kicked on and refused
to play according to the umpire's deci
sion. The boys think they are In the
right and claim the game by a score
of 14 to 13.
