Do We Harbor villains

Last week we made mention OF
the capture of horse thief here by
Chief of Police Mcmahon. Judge
Riley of Albion was here on that
day in the interest of his son.inlaw,
who had paid out money for one OF
the stolen horses. He obtained the
money, and claims that be was made
the victim of a conspiracy, by which
he came near being placed in the
hands of a band of thieves. We
quote from the Albion Argus of Oct.
2lst, and call upon the Judge 10
name the men engaged in the affair :
."When he was about leaving for
home he was approached by party
whom he had seen several times
during the day, but was stranger,
and invited to go in one of the sa-
looms and have a glass of beer. The
Judge, desirous of sustaining the
good old English custom, and withal
being of social disposition and not
wholly adverse to the beverage,
consented. Almost Immediately af-
ter taking the beer he began to feel
deathly sick and drowsy, and he
became convinced that he had been
drugged. He FASTENED to the Albion
train and fortunately reached it be-
fore he became unconscious. He
remained in a dead stupor for hours,
and had he been i'm the hands of
those who planned and perpetrated
the outrage he would undoubtedly
have Jared badly financially, as they
were evidently after the money they
knew he had on bis person."

Prepare for Winter.

This subject, like good story, will
stand repeating. And yet in spite
of our frequent warnings there will
no doubt be much suffering among
stock on account of insufficient shell
ter and p, otection from storms. Our
stock don't happen to be provided
with an extra OvercOat or pair o.
blankets, consequently it behoOves
us to furnish them with protection
from the cold winter blasts. To do
this is not only humane but it pays.
No animal ever fully matured that
had been tailed through the winter.
Ii takes good care to make good
stock, and a great part of the good
care consists in good shelter.
Not long since one of our largest
feeders told me that he found it
much more profitable to shelter his
tatting stock and keep them grow
ing during the winter, and then
when warm weather and grass come,
begin fattening, by feeding plenty
of corn, than to feed the corn during
cold weather.
Calves and yearlings should not
be allowed to run with the older
cattle, but should have separate
sheds where the entrance is only
large enough for them to go through,
but not large enough for the older
ones to enter. They should have
plenty of oats and good hay before
them at least twice a day, with an
occasional feed of oil-cake. Money
spent in this way brings good re-
turns. The same treatment should
also be given colts. Allow all kinds
of stock the range OF the stock field
during the day, but when night
comes see that they are properly

Oug. Precinct Ticket.

The republicans of Columbus pre-
cinct, on Monday afternoon last,
met at the Court House, organized
a caucus board, held the polls open
until five O'Clock, nominating an
excellent ticket, which will be
found elsewhere in to-day's JOUR-
NAL. There was no particular con-
test except over the justices, and b.
Millett and w. NJ. Cornelius re-
ceived the great body of the votes
cast.
1t is no use whatever to say that
Byron Millett will make a most ex-
cellent justice, understanding the
law, and applying it as impariially
as that knowledge and a conscious
integrity of purpose will guide him
Mr.. Cornelius is not known to our
citizens in the capacity of justice,
but he has the legal ability to acquit
himself with all honor in that sta
ton, and doubtless, when elected,
he will take particular pride and
pains in doing so.
Gus. Becher, the assessor, is thor
oughly well-informed as to the
comparative value of property in
the precinct, is patient, agreeable,

will, as he has done, give general
satisfaction in the discharge of his
duties.

the constables, are men who take a

which wealth cannot buy. Their

Two Good Appointments

Two citizens of Lincoln were ap-
pointed yesterday by the President
to federal positions. Hon. Charles
w. Pierce was appointed to be reg
lister of the land Office at Lincoln
and Chas. III. Gould, now of the
Lincoln postoffice, to be receiver OF
public moneys at Miles City, Mon
tsna. The friends of these two
gentlemen will rejoice at their good
fortune. The appointments are de-
serving and have been worthily be-
slowed.
Major Pierce is an old resident OF
this county, and a valued citizen.
He has served Lancaster county
with fidelity and honor in the Ne
brssks Legislature, and the appoint
ment is but just recompense for
his public and party services. Mr..
Gould is likewise an old timer in
the state, a strong party man and
one who has lsbored faithfully for
the republican cause. "Charley"
was the longtime friend of the late
Hon. Frank Welch, who never
lived to see bis friend Justly re-
warded for his party services.-LiR-

things we'll" soothe and comfort
them, for human coincidence at such
a time is wholly inadequate.
Having buried their oldest daugh-
ter at Milford, Pa, Mrs. Van Wyck's
home, it was decided to take the
remains of the other two there for
burial. A short and appropriate
funeral service was held at the
parents home yesterday afternoon,
Rev. Robert Cleland officiating.
When the famiay and remains reach
ed this city the senator was notified
by Mr.. Derum, c., b. & Q. agent,
that, owing 10 the strict sanitary law
of Iowa the company would be
obliged to refuse him transporta-
ton after a consultation of friends
the senator decided to inter his loved
ones in Wyuka cemetery for the
present. DIR. Bowen very kindly
offered the hospitality of his home,
and The funeral will take place from
there to-morrow.--Neb. City Press.

Platte Center.

Several accidents have occurred
in and near this ueighborhood lately.
The JOURNAL of last week ade
mention of that which befel our
townsman Jos. .Tasker, whO is around
again at his business, little worse
looking temporarily, but just as
good as ever.
Rev. A. Heinrich was thrown from
his vehicle lately and run over, but
is now doing as well as could be
expected.
DIR. Blair, who is engaged with
DIR. VIM. Edwards in the drug
store, while crossing the bridge on
a dark night lately, stepped off on
one side, there being no railing, and
was precipitated distance down OF
fifteen feet.
DIR. Edwards has tended all these
injured men, and they have done
well under his treatment.
Jno. Timothy is building a new
dwelling house.
VIM. Bloedhorn has put up II
large building for agricultural ma
chinery. 1t is men of this kind
who add to the value of a town,
bringing customers from a distance.
BY the way, and it is just about as
good an item as l can close this let
ter with, we need another grain
buyer. | Idon't say this because of
any personal feeling | have in the
matter, but it looks to me as though
wheat ETC., shouldn't go right past
our doors down to Columbus. We
know that very considerable por-
tion of money is left in a place by
those who sell their wheat, and we
feel that we ought to have the ad-
vantage of that kind of dealing. Be-
sides, wholesome competition is the
life of business.

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.


JACKSON, Amador Co., Cal. Oct
20.--The residence of n. Jelleitch,
one mile from here, was destroyed
by fire at 2 O'Clock this morning, and
all the inmates, consisting of Jelle-
itch, his wife, and two children, q
girl 2 years old and all infant son 6
months old, perished. Jelleitch' s
remains were found with the infant
within a foot of the kitchen door.
He had apparently suffocated while
trying to escape with the infant in
his arms. The bodies of his wife
and eldest child were found close
together by the bedroom window,
the bodies burnt to a cinder. Four
men were sleeping within a few
yards, but could do nothing for the
inmates. The fire is believed to have
been accidental.

Gone.

Go away for news, is illustrated
by several instances this week. 1t
was well known to our citizens that
ID. &. Loveland had been engaged
with the Union Pacific Co., but it
seems to have been generally believ-
ed here that, after being discharged,
he was reinstated in work for the
Company in the west somewhere.
That idea was given forth, but we
cannot find that there is any truth in
it. The Omaha Herald of the 10th
contained the following paragraph !:
"Something of sensation was
created in the district court yester-
day when through some "informal-
ity" in calling the list of indictments,
the name of ID. G.. Lovcland indicted
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses was proclaimed. District
Attorney Burnham answered: Con-
tinued for arrest, and the next case
was called. Precisely what the
charge is based upon cannot of
course be known until trial. ID. G.
Loveland has been employed as a
right-ofway or claim agent by the
Union Pacific railway, which is pre-
sumed to have brought the charge
before the grand jury. The sum is
reported to be $1,000. Loveland
was a member of the Legislature of
1883, as float representative from
Platte and Colfax counties. He was
formerly one of the firm of Loveland
4 Ellis of Columbus"
1t is rumored here that Mr.. Love-
land is at work at Butte City, Mon
tana, at his carpenter trade; that he
has gone TO the British possessions !;
and that he has been placed under
arrest. At this writing, we cannot
ascertain the true state of affairs con-
corning his whereabouts. We are
very sorry to be compelled, even as
matter of news, to refer to the case,
as Mr.. LOveland is a man of gener-
Gus impulses, and, if he has fallen
into evil ways, all his old friends
will be sorry to hear of it. We
could hope that there is some re-
deeming feature in the prosecution.
