ily have lived In Pierce twenty-one
years , tip to a few years ago Mr.
Donaldson was engaged In active busl-
less , owning and operating the drug

men are ns well posted or have the
faculty to retain and digest so vast
an amount of Information and knowl
edge on so many subjects. Mr. Don-
ildson has at all times been Identified
mil interested In the town's upgrowth.
Ie was the first secretary of the Com-
norclal Club. Upon the change of the

zatlon three years ago Mr. Donald
son was selected as one of the coun-
ilmau from the east ward. Last

; a ement here a week from next Sat-
irday night January 2.
It was only by making a heavy
guarantee that the show was finally

hrough Norfolk so that it seemed a
shame to allow them to pass the
own.
This will bo a genuine theatrical
ieat. "Tlio lloneymooners" is one of
lie funniest , cleverest musical come-
lles yet produced. Propably the big-
; est company that ever came to town

S'orfolk audience , but that many pco-
lo from surrounding towns may also

Big Business on Short Line.
Lincoln Journal : "Tne amount of
mslness being done on the O'Neill
mil Sioux City lines of the Burlington
allroad In Nebraska Is a continual
evelatlon , " said a Burlington man In
llscussing the matter. "That part of
Nebraska enjoyed a crop year rather
ibove the average , perhaps , and the S
amount of grain that Is being turned
to the railroads is a constant surprise.
The line of the Burlington , taken over
from the Great Northern , that runs
from Sioux City to O'Neill has been
producing big business recently , and
ilong with big business came trouble
In operation. The water supply on
the line has been Insufficient and there
was trouble for a time in getting
trains ever the road on this account.
The line Is producing from one to
three trainloads of freight a day , and
this added to the passenger business
and out going freight has made good
business. The Sioux City line has
been handling a big traffic , too. The
fact Is that all railroads In northeast
Nebraska have been handling a heavy
traffic.
"Just now a great deal of Nebraska
wheat Is going to Minneapolis. The
usual amount Is goln east to Chicago
and other markets. Strange as It may
seem there has been heavy movement
of corn to the Rocky mountain re-
sion recently Someday someone will
write n story about how the Nebraska
crop gets out of the state mid
will prove a surprise to know that It
Is called for from all points of the
compass. "

Wright was accompanied by his sou
the two going to Kansas In scaich
for relief for the hitter's health.
Dendwooder Begins to Shoot ,
The affair originated In the smoker
whore one of the four who made up
the Doudwood party , beginning lo for I
the movement of the "spirit , " became
sufficiently inspired to draw a gun and
try his markmanship on the telegraph
poles as ( hey How by.
He had tired three or four shots ,
when Wiight , who was just then In "
loss convivial condition than his com
panion , reached over and deprived
him of his weapon.
'Wright Uses Two Guns.
Further down the HUG. however ,
Wright , who since making his play as
protector of the peace , had been II-
bating freely , pulled his own gun and
began to windmill up and down with
a gun In each hand.
Eye witnesses to the affair say that
It was the funniest thing in the world
to watch the more timid of the com
pany making tracks for the chalrcar.
The railroad officials doomed it ad-
vlsable to leave bad enough alone uu-
til they got to the Junction , but on
for Chief of Police Peters.
Peters Makes Arrests.
The chief arrested Wright and one
of his companions and relieved them
of their side arms , but as the railroad
company , having done its share in carIng -
Ing for the public welfare'had no < k'-
she to carry the case any further ,
both men were later given their liber
ty and told to "hike. "
Peters deeming It avlsaole to split
what had every appearance of be
ing a "tough gang , " assisted one on to
the Omaha train and one on to the
train going north Into Dakota where
ho said he would be more liable to
feel at home.
Wrirjht and Son Stops Here.
Wright and his son missed their
train and were forced to lay over at
the Junction and await the next train
to take them on their interrupted way
to Kansas City.
The Rushvllle Incident.
Wright admitted having served a
penitentiary term of live years at one
time in his life for having been Im
plicated in the murder of the town
marshal of Hushvlllo , an action com
mitted under excitement during the
heat of a "shooting tip" In that place.
In Stripes He Is Arraigned ,
Sioux Kails. S. D.Dec. IS. Special 'o
The News : The unusual sight of a
prisoner In stripes being arraigned
was witnessed In the local court of
Judge A. D , Wheelock. The prisoner
was llobert Ames , who Is serving a
term of twenty years In the Sioux
Falls penitentiary for manslaughter
committed In Charles Mix county.
Ames was arraigned before Judge
Wheelock on the charge of assault
with Intent to kill , the complaining
witness being Steward Gill , of the
penitentiary , who some months ago
was murderously attacked by Ames ,
who was armed with a knife and who
Inflicted ' Injuries Upon the steward
from which ho has not yet recovered.
Ames waived his preliminary hearing.
The purpose of the present action
against Ames Is the fear that Ames
might escape his just deserts In con
nection with the uncalled for attack
upon Mr. Gill by the disappearance
from time to time of the witnesses to
the murderous attack , [ localise of
this It was decided to institute the
criminal action against Ames and
press the case to trial at the present
term of state circuit court.
Ames has fourteen years yet to
servo on his twenty-year term , and
whatever additional term he receives
ns the result of the present criminal
action against him will have to be
served after he completes his twenty-
year term , all of which Indicates that
will be some little time before ho
will bo permitted to Hvo outside of
prison walls.
Ames Is about the toughest proposi
tion In the penitentiary today and ex
traordinary precautions were taken to
prevent his escape while being taken
from the penitentiary to the Justice
court and then back to the peniten
tiary. While in the justice court ho
appeared to enjoy his position. Ho
chewed gum IncessartCly and oc
casionally laughed at some remark of
his own or of the attorneys.
Friends of his victim , Steward Gill ,
are planning , In view of Mr. Gill's Im
paired physical condition as the re
sult of the knife wounds Inflicted by
\mes , to have him sent to a warmer
climate fur the remainder of the win "
ter , in hope that a change of cliinati
will pro\e beiullcial 10 him t

school . house near her home to gel It.
As tno door was locked she raised a
window and had crawled part way
