We fearn from the Hastings Gazette
Journal that al attempt was made to
crack the S I of the u. P. railroad in
that city on Sunday night. The bur
glars, it is supposed, were three in
number, and they tried to get into the
safe by cutting it open 90 the side with
an axe and a sharp pick. They got
through the outside plate and had
scraped away the fire ptoof composition,
when for some unknown reason they de
sisted from further work. The manner
in which they attempted Co get into the
safe, and the tools used were the same
as when more effectuai attempt was
made on Hayden & Mccartney $, and
Byrrn's safes in McCook, and it is not,
improbable that the same parties par
ticip&ted in beth jobs If the same,
they will be picked up one of these
frosty nights, and justice meted out to
them in western style.

We learn Of case OF most cruel and
heartless dcsertion il our city, in which
n former railroad man deserts his wife,
and in company with another woman,
goes way out west, making no provis-
ions tor the poor woman and young
children whom he leaves behind.
Words are too weak to express our con-
demnation of this cowardly act, and no
punishment would be to great for the
sceaedrel. As the wife desires TO
shield the husband by denying the re-
ports, we suppress the names. To the
honor of the railroad boys in OR city,
it can be said that in a very few hours,
on Tuesday, they raised a purse of
nearly $40, and sent it to the unfortu-
nate woman to relieve her present dcs-
titution.

We learn thae a new town or the line
of the 3. & NJ. cutoff has been laid
out in Phelps County. 1t is eight and
one-half miles northwest of Sacramento,
and abcat the same distance southeast
of Phelps Centre. Capt. Phillips, rep
resenting the Land Company, visised
both Of these towns, inviting the people
of each to move to the new town, which
is to be called Holdredge, after the
Superintendent of the 3. 4 N. K. r.
and offered as an inducement that each
owner Of I business LOT, or residence lot
in their present location would be Civ
en- business lot or residence lotin this
new town, as the cas-. might he. The
offer was accepted by a great many bus
mess men Of both places, and before
very long the probability is that both
towns will be Oh wheels moving toward
the new location. It is said that great
excitement exists over the choice in Sc
icction Of lots, and thai mary are
selling at high figures.

The burglars who cracked Hayden L
McCartney's safe made better haul
than was frs supposed. In addition
to the fifty dollars belonging to the firm,
they captured three hundred and fifty
belonging to Tom Mccartney individu-
allv. 1t seems taaat just before Mr.
Mccartney started for St. Louis: he put
three hundred and fifty dollars in a
pocket book, and locked it UP IN a pri-
vate department in the safe. He said
nothing about it to the boys in the
store, and the first intimation of it
they had was when he returned home
Thursday morning.

We see that Judge John Martin of
Topeka was selected as one Of a COM
mittee Of three to settle the much dis
puted question that has recently caused
ed trouble in the Greek Nation. This
selection came from Indian Commiss-
Toner Price, it is said, at the earnest So
licitation of Congressman Ryan. Judge
Martin has declined to accept the posi-
ton rendered, by the advice of his
friends.
And Just here we would remind the
republican party that more satisfacto-
~ man for the position of Judge has
probably never worn the judicial robes
than Judge John Martin. His known
opposition to prohibition at the time of
his appointment was sufficient to cause
considerable dissatisfaction in republic
can circles, yet, so much as he was op-
posed TO prohibition, he has that respect
Tor law and order that his personal
preferences or opinions have not in the
least been allowed to conflict with his
duties as judge, and where the evil
dence is warranted, his rulings are con-
victions under the prohibition law.
The satisfaction has been so universal
that there is strong probabilities of his

THAT ALLEGED TRAIL

The Harper Sentinel is wrathy that
the INDEX should dare say a word about
the much talked of trail which the citi-
zens OF Harper claim to have secured
for the use of cattlemen. We have on
ly attempted to tell the whole truth,
keep shippers posted and do our duty
as public journal, published for the
people. We said that the grangers,
those at least OH the trail, demanded
damages frem parties in charge of a
passing herd, and our informant being
reliable, we have nothing to take back.
BY mentioning this occurrence we did
not expect to injure Harper, but we did
hope that the citizens of that town
would interest themselves in securing
a trail that could be travelled by stock
men without being molested. The
Sentinel says the citizens have now re-
moved all obstacles, opened a good
trail, and "besides all this, the Board
OF Trade in Harper stand ready to pay
all just claims which may arise from
the use of the trail" Good for Har-
per, and now if it will carry into effect
its good intentions, Barber county and
the Territory stockmen will call We
blessed.
The Sentinel appears to imagine that
the proprietor Of the INDEX has been
publishing the truth about this trail for
the reason that he is a property owner
in Medicine Lodge and therefore jeal-
Gus of Harper. Far from it. Medicine
Lodge has no cause to be jealous of the
prosperous little city of Harper. Our
people have prOspered without a rail-
road, and will continue to prosper
whether road comes here or not. We
have not been crying for q road, but if
one starts in this direction and enters
the county at all, Medicine Lodge will
have it. Don't forget this. When that
is the case, good bye to Harper as a
shipping point for live stockl That
town will no doubt be quiet, pleasant
little place for many years; but, it will
be Of about as much importance in the
commercial world as Danville or An
thony, and no more. This new order
OF things will occur in less than a year.
for the terminus of the read will be
moved from there before grass grows
next year.

Short-horn cows and fine horses. This
has been talked Of for some two or
three years, but so far, the talk has

Our neighbor can't quit it. 1t wants
q stock show, and will next want a
regular county fair inaugurated; it will
want prizes offered for the largest
pumpkins, the best potatoes, the finest
wheat and the best yield of corn.
These things all go together. and we do
not think Barber county is ready for
such an exhibition yet. True, it might
be the means of still advertising the
county as fine agricultural region, but
this is exactly what stockmen don't
want to do.
1t does appear strange that the Cres-
set is not willing to let well enough
alone. This is no farming county. Our
people are doing well grazing stock,
and can continue to prosper IL not
crowded out by the class of men coun-
ty fair would encourage to come in here.

ton intended to be insured by the pass
age of that statute law.
The violations of law now under con-
sideratiOn have existed I'm this county
for many years, that of driving south
ern cattle, liable to give disease to our
native cattle, into our state between
the first of March and the first of No
vember, and these violations are
increasing. The question now arises,
where is the remedy for these grievan-
ces2 Is the law defective, and if so,
what then is the remedy? This county
has beeen damaged thousands Of dollars
by recent violation of this. Not only in
the number of valuable animals killed,
but the demand for cattle by persons de-
string to purchase either for feeding or
shipping purposes, has for the past
month been at a standstill.
Few pretend to understand this dis
ease and yet 1t is fatal to our native
cattle when they are exposed to it. This
much We ell know. The only remedy
and the one which should demand the
most attention is to prevent exposure.
Prompt and decisive action when the
people have made up their minds Just
what is the correct thing, should by all
means be sanctioned by all law abiding
and well meaning citizens.
