from A,chison to the Nebraska line. A
Railroad Company wss formed in Ne
brasks, cemposed Of citizens Of that State.
for the purpose Of building road up the
Nemaha Valley, connecting with the
Atchison Road. But Bob. Stewart, of
s.. Joseph, ha.tily manufactured bogus
Company. and slyly sueaked up to Lin
cola sndsfiled the first clsim. which, un.
der some old Nebrasks law. he supposed
womb give him control Of the route and

pany 10 Nebrasks. Finding this would
not bold, and that other legislation would
take, place on the land ques,ion. he spent
the Winter at Lincoln. lobbying through
a law which hs supposed voa'd give
bIm control Of the State lands. and i'm.
agined that he had succeeded. But the
Nebraska Company got ahead of him
again, and consolidated with the Atchi-
son and Nebrssks Company. Their on
" chance for State lands now is to build
their road to The Nebraska line ahead Of
any other: aud for this purpose. they are
making their great blow. with the hope
OF getting other people to furnish the
means to do the work. As for them.

build twenty-five or Fifty miles OF road.
they have not the means to pay for the
work already done. At all events. they
hope to prevent any other road from be.

step in and build their road for them.
Brown County has already voted
100000 or sl25.000 to the road. with
a proviso thst it shall run near the GEN.

pretending that there is the very place

so that they will be entitled to q certain
proportion of the money for every FIVE

road runs. II they are honest in their
promises. We don't see why they want
the change made. To an outsider. it
looks as if a swindle were intended upon

A Successful swtndIe.

A short time ago, stranger appeared
ct the residence Of Lsiws G. Dunn, one
Of the Oldest settlers on Roy's Creek. in
Brown County. sud represented that he was
the owner Of an adjoining quarter Of land.
and that his brother owned q quarter
several miles away. He had evidently
prepared and posted himself fully for bis
adventure, IS be had the lands in tbs vi.
cinity mapped of correctly. in their reia-
tive positions to the quarter of which he
was the pretended owner. Mr.. Duns &C.
compsnied him to look at the land which
be ssid his brother owned. and the stran.
ger Communicated his plans with refer
ence to improving bis land. The next
day, when the time approached to take his
departure, he suddenly discovered that
he had lost his pocket book. containing
over 800. sll the money be had. Dill
gent search was made about the premis-
es. wherever he had been; and Toe place
of his brother was also revisited and care
fully searched; bat the pocket book was
not to be found. Here was dilemma. q.
II be could only get word to his folks. in
Missouri. they ~ould send him money;
but that would take time. Finally. Mr..
Dunn. not having any ready money by
him, obtained $50 from a neighbor. and
gave it to the man. who was greatly ro-
joiced. and promised to send the amount
as soon ss he reached home. Time pass
ed, but no money came. Mr.. Dunn. be-
ginning to have misgivings. went to Hia-
watba and examined the land records,
and sscertained that the lands in question
belonged to parties whom be knew. and
that no person bearing the name the
stranger gave. owned land 10 his vicinity.
He returned home, fully convinced that he
bad been sold. and has pretty much quit
looking for letter rsmitting bis $50!
