Considerable excitement was created
on the west bound train ON the Union
Pacific road yesterday afternoon while
in Nebraska. A company of United
States troops, which was on its way
from st. Lous to Idaho, was aboard this
train. At Columbus, Nebraska, all got
of to stake something" and when the
train was about to start, tile hotel
keeper rushed out and claimed that the
soldiers had robbed his till of $500. Dur
ing the confusion the train started, and
the hotel keeper telegraphed ahead to
the sheriff at Grand Island to stop the
train and search the troops. Accord
ingly that officer boarded the train and
went through the wearing apparel of
the men. The money was not found,
but two soldiers acted in a very suspi-
cious manner and they were delivered
for trial by the civil authorities.
