MacMurphy wants to know of us what any editor wants to know any thing about a refrigerator this kind of weather for. The good editor, Mac has no special need of them, except to advertise them for money to buy coal, but the bad editor may imagine under what possible circum stances such a thing would be a very desirable thing to have. If a body meet a couple Crossing o'er the street. Need that couple cover all the Flagstones with their feet? Do they show the best of breeding And the bluest blood, "When they crowd that lonely body Off into the mud? If a couple meet a body.

Ex-surveyor Rich ardson came near freezing to death while coming from his residence to the square last Thursday week. David City Tribune. Charlie Fisher and his 'father were here over Sunday last. Charlie is the hero of quite au affair lately, on a train between Norfolk aud Pierce. Three cowboys concluded to ruu the train, and got the train men subdued, but when they came to the passenger department, Charlie concluded that so far as he was concerned he would do bis best to preserve the usual order of things, so when two of the boys came into the car and commenced to "thump" the passengers, Charlie con cluded to take a hand, and as oae of them made a lunge at him with his knife, he warded- of the blow, and gave him a stinger between the eyes which "floored" him, and grabbing a poker, bit him over the bead, com pletely knocking him out the first round, the other one, notwithstand ing his Luu, sought refuge from Char lie by jetting into the saloon and locking himself in. There was abundant evidence that he was scared so bad he didn't know what he was doing. A pretty good story comes from the upper country near Cbadron. A drummer on the .train was iuterrupted by an armed cowboy and compelled to dance and listen to the full dis charge of a hand battery manipulated by the sportive cowboy. When the battery was emptied, he very consid erately told the drummer he might quit dancing, for which condescension the drummer very humbly thanked him, and the cowboy was turning to go out. It was now the drummer's turn, and he politely asked the cow boy to remain a little while of course this was done at the business end of the drummer's artillery. The cow boy was invited to turn his head to one side, and the drummer put a ball through the edge of his cheek ; then he was gently requested to bend his head the other way, when the drum mer bored a hole near the edge of his ear.' The school was then dismissed by the drummer telling his pupil to bring any of his friends in that seed ed training in the use of fire arms. At last accounts, the aecoud term had not opeaed. scfcMi Beaert-suu riMr. High School Jamea Lamb, Eugeae Brower, Wilkie Speice, HatUe Baker, William Meade, Gertrude Jeaes, Martha Hanchett, Abbie Draae, Eflle Beardsley, Willie Coolldge, George Whaley, Earl Pearsall, Albert Parker.

Schuyler had a double tragedy last week. A man named Lapour was confined in jail because he had not been able to furnish bonds to keep the peace. Sheriff John S. Degman had given the man his breakfast and was leaving the prison when be was struck down and beat upon the skull by Lapour, a piece of scantling being tho bludgeon used. Lapour's punish ment swiftly followed, and is describ ed by the Herald of the 13tb, as follows: "The last act in this terrible tragedy occurred at 10 :45 last night. A large body of citizens marched to the Court House in which the jail is situated, and demanded admittance. There seemed to be no preconcerted arrange ments, but the woods were full of men who came from all directions. The sheriff, U. P. Degman, just ap pointed, Jos. Rudersdorf and Frank Frazier were on guard. The mob de manded admittance,- which waa re fused. They then went to the rear door and commenced to batter it down with sledges with which they were provided. The guards then opened the door, and tried to reason with the mob. They were imme diately covered with revolvers and ordered to hold up their hands. The sheriff was then seized and the keys taken from him. At the first ap proach of the mob, Laponr began to bellow, probably realizing what was coming. He was in the cell with both hands and feet manacled. The mob seized him, placed a rope around his neck, and snaked him out doors, and to a tree near the fence in front of the Court House, where be waa drawn up. Soon after death ensued, he was cut down and placed in the sheriff's office. He did not struggle after being drawn up, as the treatment be fore had probably stunned him. The mob then dispersed, having been but a tew minutes at tbeir work. It is estimated that 200 men were on the ground, and but little attempt at con cealment was made, although it would be hard to identify the participators. Many citizens justify the action of the mob, while others deprecate it. Not a word of sympathy can be beard for the banged man." Doubtless Lapour was a brutal man and deserved his fate, but it is best for communities that they enforce the laws- in every particular, and it is a sound proposition that if the laws bearing upon minor offences were more strictly enforced there would be fewer grave offences and less seeming necessity for citizens to "take the law into their own hands."

The display of mirage on the 20th of January was very fine, the city of Columbus distant 20 miles was dis tinctly visible. The unutually mild weather of the month of December caused a break ing up of the ice in the Loup and Platte rivers 8 inches in thickness, and the consequent demolishing of portions of the railroad and wagon bridges at Columbus.

Droher'a stable door and covered up hit wagon and well. The tevere weather of the last few weeks hat given rise to this conun drum: Why is a Nebraska blizzard like an unpaid aote? Because you never see the last of it. "Did this man ever hold a note against you," asked tbe justice of tbe colored culprit, "No sir, but when I refused to pay him tome money he held his fist against me in front, and the wall behind."
