Norfolk Lost Game to Nellgh.
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 ;

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. Ho was soon put 01
the ri ht track and told that his vnln
ables were safe and would be ro toret
