Equip stable doors with bells that

"To merely arrest them and try to
send them to the penitentiary only
furnishes another convict for the gov

farmer. "That Is , If he Is a bad
enough man , ho runs a strong chance
of getting pardoned. "

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. It Is said by
railroad men that If the Yankton &
Southwestern Is to bo built , there will
bo a race for the crossing point with
the newly proposed Omaha line from
Sioux City to Nlobrara , because the
first road there gets an advantage.
