LOOKED LIKE INNOCENT BOY. Gebhardt , Escaped Horscthlef , Hf s Beardless Face and Blue Eye. George Gehhardt , the escaped horse- thief and member of nn organized gang of criminals , who was released fiom the Stanton county jail by pals , looked so young and innocent when lie was up In Justice Eiseley's court a few weeks ago that the court gave a little lecture to the defendant and asked him to go homo and "he a good boy" In the future. To all of this Gebhardt shook his head In solemn assent and now that his real character has romu out Justice Elseloy is laughing heart ily at the Incident. Gebhardt Is only about twenty or twenty-one years of age , smooth shav en and boyish looking , with blue eyes. He has every appearance of a lad who might bo weak and who might , In an Impulsive moment , have allowed him self to take an overcoat , but there Is no trace of any sort In his features to indicate the horsothlcf or deliberate criminal. Around the city hall In Norfolk It Is now taken for granted that Gebhardt has been laughing In his sleeve over the advice to sin no more , over since his Norfolk experience.

FROM SIOUX CITY TO NIOBRARA New Road Will be Built Toward Bone- steel S. C. Rcjolccb. Sioux City Tribune : Honestce ! Is to be sixty miles nearer to Sioux City before January next year. The Omaha Railroad company lmn announced work will begin In the spring on an extension from New castle to Nlohrarn , connecting with the Bonesteel line of the Northwest ern. ern.In In an Interview given to the Trib une last June , Colonel O. C. HughoH , general superintendent of the North western Railroad company , said he be lieved this work would bo done by the Omaha road In 1907. The report was later confirmed by General Manager I'rcnholm of the Omaha load and by the opening ofvoik on the Nov.caaUo extension us soon as the Crofton line was finished last fall. The first few miles of grading has been done , but It was not known until today Just what would bo the objective point. Assurance has been given the Com mercial club that the line will bo extended - tended next year to Nlobrara , bring ing Bonesteel about sixty mlleH nearer Sioux City. Such Important places as St. James and St. Helena , besides the country , now dependent upon boats and teams from Yankton , will be brought Into close connection with Sioux City , as well as the mlllB nt St. James and the brewery at St. Helena. Competition at present between Sioux City and Omaha for the Boneoteel country Is sharp , but the extension of the Omaha road along the river places Sioux City In a position to absolutely command the trade of the Rosebud country. The rate from Sioux City to Bone- steel , 197 miles. Is now 71 cents on first class freight , and IK ! cents on lifth class. The rates from Omaha to Bone- steel , 239 miles , nro the same. With Sioux City sixty miles nearer to Bonesteel , the rate should bo not more than 55 to CO cents for first class , and down to 25 cents on fifth class , about the rate now paid to Nlo brara. Has Surveying Begun ? It was nnnounrcd by Fremont Hill that surveying on the now Yankton & Southwestern railroad would begin January 5 but whether or not It has begun at the Yankton end has not been learned In Norfolk.
