Nellgh won the football game from Norfolk on the Neligh gridiron by a score of 2 to 0 Saturday afternoon , The game was a clean one all the way through ; there was no wrangling of any kind. It was a hard fought bat tle during which Neligh exhibited some very clever science In the foot ball game , using with good advantage the new rules. The pigskin was not at any time In either team's territory and remained close to the center of the field most of the time. Norfolk fought -ard and the little misunder standing on the part , of Parish cost them their defeat by two points. The ball was In the possession of Nellgh , who held it for downs and then punted it to near the middle of the field close to the Norfolk goal line. Believing it had reached his ter ritory a Norfolk player touched it be fore he found his error. Then Parish picked up the ball , after It was In the Norfolk territory. He thought also It was a touchback , but In reality it counted a safety for the Neligh team , This gave Nellgh their two points , There was no Nellgh player near Par ish and he , laboring under the impres sion it was a touchback , could have run In with the1 pigskin had he chosen but wanted to get it in from the1 25 yard' line. Both teams were evenly matched and although Norfolk believed they were handicapped on account of theii loft tackle , Fisher , missing the train then found Logan , who played tlie game through In Fisher's place , wat equal to the job.

Tramps Ar Moving East. During the recent search through the southern part of Norfolk for the Meadow Grove bank robbers , It was found that the army of tramps com monly known as "hoboes" by the rail road employes and police authorities , Is moving from the west and north west to the largo eastern cities , where In the cold weather 5 and 10-cent lodg ing houses which give a free break- i fast can be patronized. They find that at this season the call of the "east" is strong. Cwld weather is upon them and they must get under cover. They came from the south and east last spring when the weather became warm. They slowly beat their way west , always giving the authorities the I same reply : "I am going west to woric in the ' ' harvest fields , " while now the old : ' story is tolel the authorities : . I "I am going back home to Illinois , ' . or Ohio to my home. I have been I working in the wheat fields , " or " 1 ' have been a miner. " : | Their hands are soft as a womairs , ' ' probably not as clean , but soft. Tht marks of the pick have not calloused. In reality the hobo is going to Chicago cage , Omaha , St. Louis , and Kansas City where the soup houses have beei. imprinted In his dreams for the past month. Norfolk is a division point in the long trail of the liobu. Ho has come from nearly every part of the west and northwest. The brakemen on freight trains have pulled scores of them from box cars and driven them Into the many reserves which 1 they haunt at South Norfolk. The freight brakeman is the hobo's ene my. Among the victims of the hook worm , whose symptoms are "extreme indifference to work , " the brakema.i is known as the "shukle. " When the "shakle" Is busy spotting cars In the night and endeavoring to "throw" the hobo from the train at some lonely station during the dis mal hours , the glittering of the lan terns Is a hideous sight , ns far as Mr , Weary Is concerned. According to Chief of Police Mar- quardt and Constable Finkhouse , the hobo Is a harmless creature , but IE put' In n "bad light" by the "real1 crooks who take advantage by protect Ing themselves traveling with the harmless hobo. According to tliese omciais. as many as fifteen of this class of hu manity haunt the secluded Spots noai thfl railroad yards at the Junction eacl day ; They have come from various parts of the west. They usually have cripples among ther number who de the "stunt" and earn enough for beei and "eats" which , the authorities say they take to their haunts at Soutl Norfolk and enjoy their feed. Oi many occasions they have as many ai three kegs of beer , and should thej be able to steal a chicken or two , tin bill"0 nvn has been punctured. A visit to me junction lecently coi roborates the officials' story. Durlni ' ' ' one night , the authorities took a 11 many as fifteen tramps from the varl ous cars passing through the city These had on that occasion attomptei to make Norfolk a stopping place fo the night , but they were sent on thel way. A visit to the "hobo camps found a number of empty beer kegs empty preserved meat cans an whisky bottles , remains of KOIIIO nigh debauches. Chief Manpiardt says I is impossible to guard the rallroa yards and South Norfolk at the muu time , while it keeps ono man ver busy In the business section of No ; folk.

The large orange peel dredge was M't up and ready tor work at the > King- lleckendorf grnve > l pit east of town Sunday morning after HOIIIO heavy and dllllctilt work on the purl of the labor ers and employes of the Norfolk Transfer company , who brought the dredge to the pit from the city. Eight horses were used to haul the heavy machinery. When the mouth of the pit and Incline In thu road was en countered and the heavy dredge and wagon fell Into the pit only a few feet I from where It was to be installed. No damage was done to the machinery , hut the wagon was slightly damaged. After preliminary tests It was found the dredge was working satisfactor ily and much gravel would be taken out. out.The The final grading and excavating ou Norfolk avenue commenced Monday morning. The concrete base will bo started about the middle of this week and the brloklng will commence aa soon as the concrete liafi the proper time to settle.

Carlson Back from Europe. After a few months' strenuoim study In the furtherance of knowledge on the breeding of the horse , In Franco , Belgium and other European countries , G. L. Carlson , the Norfolk sclentlfld horse breeder and lecturer , returned homo Sunday evening , bringIng - Ing with him the list of every horse which has left Franco In the past twenty years. This list Mr. Carlson was able to get only after a thorough checking by every foreign consul in France. In this work Mr. Carlson found that the American consul system under James D. Mlllnor of LaFayette , Ind. , who has been the American consul at Calais , France , for many years , Is the best of any in that country. Mr. Carl' son highly praises Consul Mlllner and his son , the vice consul , who traveled with Mr. Carlson in his pursuits on the horse-breeding subject , which Mr. Carlson says ho has finished one month earlier than ho expected. Mr. Carlson Is the only man who has the record of every horse leaving Franco since April 27 , 1890. "I am glad to get back home , " said Mr. Carlson. "This Is the best coun try In the world. Sunday night was the first night since I was gene that 1 have been able to see the moon. It has been foggy all the time. Norfolk Is a fine town. Take that window foi Instance ( pointing to a , beautifully decorated department store window on Norfolk nveiiuo which displayed the fall and winter stock ) . "That would bo a credit even to Paris , where they would be very likely to get hardware mixed in with it. " Mr. Carlson also reports the con gested travel over the Atlantic ocean caused by the exposition and the pas sion play which brought thousands of American tourists to Europe. Coming back Mr. Carlson was unable to pur chase a steamship ticket and it was necessary for him to "buy out" o passenger's stateroom to get home Many passengers were sleeping on the decks while steerage room was at a premium. Many wealthy people find Ing It Impossible to travel first 01 second class , as a last resort went homo "steerage. " Mr. Carlson has very little praise for the American tourist In Europe This kind of a traveler , who has plenty of money and spends It , is looked up on as an "easy mark , " whllo an Amerl can In business or other pursuits Is looked upon as a curiosity. . "Tho only drunk American I met it Franco was a Nebraskan , " ho said "The police had found him on the street and had put him to bed in his hotel. Before leaving him , his mone : and valuables were taken and storct 'at ' 'ho police station. When he name ' to his normal senses the Nebraskai I jelled for help and police , declanii } hei was robbed.
