From files of Journal, De 18, 1872.
The condition of the roads and fine
weather makes business lively in Co
1 ambus.
Mr. Frank Simmes, engsged with Tur
ner & Hulst, started east on Monday to
visit the home of his childhood in old
Maryland.
Jno. Routson.eeq., who has lately been
in Sherman count-, speaks well of that
country. He saw, among other curiosi
ties, four pine trees.
James E. North, esq., met with a loss
of property yesterday morning the
dwelling house on his farm near
Itanium's burning to the ground. The
weather was very calm, and the column
of smoke and ilame could be readily seen
from town, shooting straight toward the
heavens. The fire was witnessed from
town for half an hour or more, but seen
too late to render any assistance. We
have been told that the fire originated
in the chimney.
A northern railroad to Columbus is
again talked of. Let us provide part of
the means to build it. Railroad connec
tion with a southern market, and the
lumber regions of the north, are two
things which Columbus needs. A little
means and a strong united effort on the
part of our citizens will bring them.
We learn from H J. Hudson, esq., our.
accommodating clerk, that the adjourn
ed term of the district court of Platte
county, will, by arrangement with the
district, judge, be held on the second
Tuesday -of Feb., 1873, at 11 o'clock a. m.
Braaigaas Hene Sale.
One of the greatest horse sales ever
conducted in the state was held at Co
lumbus last Saturday at Tom Branigsn'a
sale barn.
Over five hundred stock men from all
parts of the state attended, all coming
with pockets filled with money to either
buy or sell, and they all got action on
their judgment of good horse flesh when
the animal was led ont on the block.
An even one hundred and sixty-five
head of horses were sold, among the
number being a few head of mules. The
sale opened prompt at 12:30, and from
that time on it reminded one of being
in toe "pit" on tie Chicago board of
trade. The animals went fast, every
buyer hnd his animal picked out, and
when his favorite came forth, it was only
a bid or two and the writing out of a
check.
Among the many horse buyers present
were men from New Jersey. Oklahoma,
Kansas City, St. Louis, Iowa, Minnesota,
Omaha, and many other surrounding
towns. The top prices per span ranged
from $350, $4HI and $555, while many
lighter weights demanded $175 to 9250.
Iu all the sale was far ahead of expecta
tions, and those who attended praise
Tom Branigan for the manner in which
he and his help managed the sale, and
the carefulness and attention given to
the safety and comfort of the horses
cared for in his barns.
The result of this sale has been the
means of inducing Branigan to conduct
a series of similar stock offerings, the
next to be held on Friday, February 1,
and every three weeks thereafter during
the season.
Since Branigan took hold of the stock
business here, he has caused all eyes of
stockmen to be turned toward Columbus,
and every sale following he promises
still greater things. Be sure and post
the date of the coming sale in your hat,
ami if you have not attended the late
offerings, make it a point to be here and
see what a great stock center and mar
ket Columbus has got to be.

What cupid's pranks will do no one
knows. The following taken from the
Silver Creek Sand, explains about an
eloping couple from that place: A mild
sensation was caused Wednesday by thn
elopement of Fred Davis and Pearl Kis
sel, two well known young people.
Rumors are flying thick and out of the
hunch we gather that Wednesday morn
ing when young Miss Kissel came in to
school, she was met by Fred Davis with
a rig from Shank's livery barn, drove to
Columbus and were married at the
county judge' office there. They then
took the train, ostensibly headed for
Centerville, Iowa, where young Davis'
mother lives. Their disappearance was
only discovered when the wayward girl
did not return home from school . Then
inquiries were made and the telephone
and telegraph wires were kept busy.
The team was left in Columbus, from
whence a liveryman telephoned Shanks
to come and get it. Thursday noon, 8.
Kissel, father of the girl, left for Center
ville, Iowa, to see the elopers. Soon
after his departure a' letter was received
from the elopers asking for the girls
clothes to be sent to Livonia, Mo. These
items are picked up promiscuously, not
vouched for, but we think cover the
case. What Dad will do when he catches
the runaways, we cannot predict, but
think that the parental blessing would
be better than the irate father's boot.

"The Sign of the Cross" will be seen
nt North opera house, Jan. 21, '07. This
stirring drama, one of the most ennob-
j ling pluys in dramatic history, will be
given by a strong company, carefully
chosen by Mr. R. G. Crarein, who has
been the manager for five years, who has
purchased the sole rights for the United
States and Camtds-foi&liiis play. The
Bcenery and costumes are of the richest
splendor, and the massive architecture
and luxurious surroundings of Rome in
the days of Nero combine in elaborate
spectacular effects.
Wilson Barrett's impressive and pow
erfully constructed religious drama "The
Sign of the Cross," which will bo pre
sented at North opera house on Jan. 21,
'07, is fidl of striking contrasts. The
scene is laid in Koine in the extravagant
and tyrannical rule of Nero. The gor
geousness and wanton luxury of the
Roman court is shown in broad colors.
Offsetting this, there is the simple dress
and lowly mien of the band of Christians
whose persecution and martyred victory
in their faith form the main theme of the
deeply interesting story of the play.

for those familiar with the Lillie case:
"The greater part of the $8,000 insur

now pending in the courts. Only a part
of the fraternal insurance moneys has
ever been paid. The tribe U' Ben Enr.
paid the sum of $750 to her little girl
Edna, but contested the remainder of
the policy. There was due from the
Modern Woodmen the sum of $3,000,
but tnat society contested payment and
the case is still in the 'district court.
The A. O. U. W. paid $2,000 to the ac

At Platte Center where can.be found
four saloons, and everybody should be
-.w - UVUt.u bucir tuirst witnout any
difficulty, yet some parties who evident
ly did not know their capacity, broke
into one of the places and loaded up with'
the wet goods sufficient to last them for
sum time to come. The Platte Center
Signal says: "Some malicious thief, or
thieves, broke into Reilly's saloon Sun
day niirht by breaking the lock on the
back door. At what time this was done
is a matter of speculation, but the prob
ability is that it was between six asd
seven o'clock. The bar keeper left there
about six o'clock and Marshal Carng,
who uses the middle room where the
stove is, for a warming station, went in a
little before seven, and as he has a key
to the east door be had no occasion to
go into the south room where the en
trance was made, but he is positive that
it did not occur after be first went in as
he was out and in every ten minutes
from that time until morning. The only
thing taken away, as far as they can dis
cover, was a two gallon demijohn of
alcohol and two bar bottles, one contain
ing whiskey and the other rum. The
drawer to the cash register was open
and contained some twelve dollars, but
it is evident that money was not what
they wanted, as this was undisturbed.
The malicious part of the affair appeared
when it was discovered that the journal
and ledger, containing some thirteen
hundred dollars in accounts, had been
burned. Carrig noticed the burned
paper in the stove when he put coal in
the stove in the evening, but thought
little of it at the time. Paper ashes
could be seen in the stove next morning.
Reilly had no safe and the books lay on
the desk. The only theory advanced is
that these books were destroyed for pare
cussedncmvior else by some one who
owed an account aad wasted to destroy
the record of it. Undoubtedly it was
the work of local, taleat, aad the ques-tioaia,wao?"
Last Wedaesday Anton Hughes and
Ed. Tachudy became weary of the atmos
phere at the county jail and decided that
they woald like to again be free." They
made their escape through the east
window, and at once started down the
railroad track. They were seen by Mrs.
Louis Lachnit and Chris Gass, who re
ported the matter to Deputy Sheriff
Lachnit. He at once started in pursuit
and sighted them two miles east of town,
making their way northeast as fast as
they could. In a short time he was
close enough to call to them to halt, but
they did not pay any attention to his
demand. He then sent a shot from his
revolver which came uncomfortably close
to them, and they promptly stopped and
gave themselves up. They are now
safely behind the bars and will complete
their sentences which they are serving
for atealing some liquor from Metbeny'
saloon.
Aa a result of a stroke of apoplexy last
Tuesday, John W. Witchey, one of the
first settlers in the neighborhood of
Duncan, passed away the same day.
For a number of years his health had
