Last Sunday Ed Webb. overseer of
the poor farm? had .a visit from . an pld
time acquaintance tbat he will not soon
forget. About six years ago Ed and Sam
Graves were working together on the
railroad, but unta Sunday Webb had!
not seen Graves since then. When
Graves 'arrived at the Webb home be had
two horses with him and 6aid hev-desjred
to sell them. One of them suited Webby
but he did hot.want the other one. As
Graves was anxious to sell both animalB,
Ed called up John Randall over the
telephone and he came out and looked
at the horse and bought him. But
Monday the sheriff from Central City
came down '-here' looking for stolen
horses, and the description he gave tall
ied with the horses that Graves had
sold, and they were turned over to him
He then began looking for Graves, who
was around town Monday morning, but
he haw evidently thought it was time
to make hjmself scarce, and left on an
eostbound train. There is a $50 reward
for his arrest and conviction, and the
sheriff and Webb went to FremontrMon
day eveningin .an endeaver .to locate
him.
The announcement of the prospective
return to the North Theater of-- George
Broadhurst's greatest success, "The
Man of the Hour' should be the means
of crowding the 'Theater- to - its' limit
throughout the week of the engagement.
What makes the "Man of the Hour
so powerful is the strength of its charac
ters. It is not a one man -play. It is a
play by an author with a story .to tell,
and the skill to make it alive, a swiftly
moving drama of real men and real
women, told with a swing and vigor of'
.expression which go to the making of a
powerfnl and stirring play. iC-ii.' M
"TheManof the Hour" that the New
York Herald said: "The kind of rugged.
story tbat leaves you panting with eager
ness for more." Managers Wm, , A.
Brady and Jos. R. Grismer's special
company will be seen during this en
gagement. What was probably the oldest build
ing left in the city was razed to the
ground last week. It was located in;
block 182, in the east part of town, and
was occupied by Joseph Moscehross un
til his death. The building, which was
built of cot'tonwood, was. erected in 1861,
when the boards used in its construction
were sawed by a mill located just across
'.the'strcet from it." Dr. C. B.Stiljman
used a portion of it for an office, wbenHt'
was facing east on the same lots, but in
1864 he sold it to Frank Becker. Since
that time it has been put to various uses,
but most for a dwelling house. It was
built in the old fashioned style, cotton
wood boards running up and down, in
stead of lengthwise, were used for siding
and no one need be told that it was one
of the early day habitations, in the early
sixties.
On account of the shortening of j the
time of the Chicago Denver, trains, a
rearrangement in the Union "Pacific time
table was made Sunday. No. 1 arrives
one minute earlier, No. 5 is an hour and
thirteen minutes earlier, and No. 11 is
an hour and thtrty-nine minutes later.
Of the west bound trains, No. 2' arrives 1
twenty-six minutes later, No. 4 is thirty
four minutes later, No. 6 arrives an hour
later, and No. 12 arrives three hours and
fifteen minutes earlier. Under the new
change No. .4 and No.. 11. do- not carry
any mail cars, tbey being added to trains
JSo, 5 and 6, as tbey now arrive at near
ly the old time of 11 and 12. On the
branches there is but one change, the
Norfolk passenger arrives .fifteen min
utes later.
-John Torpy and Clyde Scott are now
the owners of the Branigan sale barn at
Tenth and Lewis streets having paid
$5,475 for it at the sale last Saturday.
Tbey will continue it at as a sale stable,
but for the present will only sell at pri
vate sale, not having any large sales at
present. Mr. Branigan built up'a splen
did horse market in this city, and his
-disposing of the barn will probably
mean tbat no more large sales will be
held again very soon. He will, however,
continue in the horse business, but will
make the larger markets, such as South
Omaha and Kansas City, his base in
stead of Columbus.
' While attempting to emulate Buffalo
Bill's cowboys last Saturday, Carl Mill
er, who is working for C. Ev Devlin, met
with a very painful accident. He started
to show,somc of his friends bow well he
could ride, and mounted an unbroken
horse in the pasture, without saddle or
bridle. But the horse did not want to
be ridden and nncermoniously dumped
Carl, and when he. struck the ground
one of his arms was doubled under him,
resulting in aTjpfamful sprain. ' "

Broadhurst's great play, "The Man of

is conceded by critics everywhere to be
the best American play, ever written.
There is not a discordant note in it, every
character moves and breathes and lives
a natural life.t is a play for the peo
ple who like their heart strings played

about nigged honesty and love for wo
man and home. A' mere recital of the
story conveys little idea of the spark'

GRAY'S
Eweiy Family
After an illness extending over a per
iod of avt months. Mrs. -Ellen Cassin
died at; her home, Seventh and Qnincy,
last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Cassin
was born'in New York City August' 15,
1812. After spending the -early portion
of her lifein the'-metroplis, she. mov
ed to Scranton, Pa., where she married
Thomas Cassin on .February 8. 1863.
There they resided -until 1877, when
with the family, they-.started westward
and on May 20 of that year arrived in
Columbus.. Since that time she has
been a resident of this city, 'where her
children have grown to 'manhood and
womanhood. About thirteen years ago
her husband died, and since that time
she had made her home with her child
ren. She leaves seven children, four
sons and three daughters, John Cassin
of Wray, Colo.,-James, M. C.. and Tom
of this city, and Mrs. MvRyan, Mrs. V.
L. Hedlund and Miss Mary Cassin; who
also reside here. Funeral services were
held Tuesday at 10 a. m. from the Catho-
Ho church, 'Father Marcettinue having
charge, and burial was in the Catholic
cemetery.
Wednesday the board of supervisors
were wrestling with a road problem, the
location of said proposed road being
south of the villsge of Oconee. John C.
Dawson is asking that the road be es
tablished for the convenience of a neigh
bor, in order that he may save a mile
when he travels to the county seat, but
as the road divides a piece of land owned
by Daniel Murdock the latter says it i s
done to work him an injury. And still
another party says that it is a continua
tion of the pld rural route fight and that
Dawson is still persisting in his efforts
to get one established, running from
Columbus, so that be. can push bis ef
forts to have the Oconee post office dis
continued. There is a strong probabili
ty that the supervisors will decline to.
establish, the road under present circnm
stances.
While7 passing through Columbus last
Thursday afternoon Vice President
Mohler of the Union Pacific was inform
ed of the death of E. H. Harriman. He
.was a passenger on No. 10, enroute to
Omaha and when the train stopped here
rbe was handed a telegram by Agent
'Browri which apprised him of the death
of his cbeif. Mr. Mohler at once issued
orders that all the depots in the principal
towns .should bedraped in honor of the
deaa,preeident, and both' depots here"
-were draped with crepe. Sunday an
order was issued to all trains to stop be
tween 2:30 and 235 and all branches of
work on the Union Pacific came to a
standstill for five minutes during the
funeral.
No decision has been reached regard
ing the postponed Labor Day exercises,
which were to have been held under the
auspices of the city fire department.
The matter is still in the hands of the
board of control, and at present it looks
as though tnere wouia ue no auempt
'made select a new date and carry ont the
, program. To do this would requre a
day that is hot a legal holiday, and then
the schools are in session, so that it
would be possible for the scholars to at
tend. The department are grateful to
those who assisted in arranging the pro
gram, and would like to have it carried
out should conditions be favorable.
