Doniphan Index: There is q great
stir among the cattle men this fall. We
hear more talk about cattle, and our neigh
bors are buying and will feed more than
usual. Corn Is plenty and cheap, and a
great many cattle from Iowa and Missouri

will be in good demand.
Broken Bow Republican,: Molhe, a
thirteen.year- daughter of Jacob Cover,
of Algernon, met with an accident last week.
She was herding sheep and had revolver
with her to keep of coyotes. Something
got wrong with the lock. She put the muz-
lie against the palm of her hand to hold it
while she let down the hammer, when 1t
went off. The ball. passed through her
hand and came out at the side, back of her
little finger, making a painful though not
dangerous wound.
Ord is on the verge of coal famine,

Fullerton Journal: The farmers up
the Cedar valley are delighted at the way
small grain is turning out. The yield of
wheat runs from 81 to % bushels per acre,
and will doubtless average all of 25-which
is no better than other sections of the county
report.
O'Neill Banner: Saturday night the
people who were at the depot were startled
almost beyond measure. They were wait
ing patiently and anxiously for the up train,
which was in sight, when cattle train from
the west came laundering by the depot at a
fearful rate of speed, and for several mo-
ments a collision seemed inevitable, but
they succeeded in stopping both trains be-
fore anything mere serious than scare re-
suited. The passengers on the up train did
not know why their train was stopped mile
from town until they arrived at the station.

of his head being blown off. He was show

is probably not fatal, sbut it is feared the

Juniata Herald: Tuesday night
burglars broke into the B. & M. depot at
this place, wrenched open the money draw
er and secured for their trouble about fifty
cents. They made no attempt to open the
safe or the ticket drawer, and the conclusion
is they must have been frightened away or
thought the safe was only used as recep-
tacle for books or papers-if the latter, they
struck it about right. The same night the
safes of Cook & Cooley, A. J. Neimeyer &
Co., and the depot at Kenesaw were open
ed, but up to the time of going to press we
have been unable to learn what success the
scoundrels met with.

Bloomington with load of grain, he at |
tempted to jump from the wagon, and In so
doing slipped in such way as to fall in
front of one of the moving wagon wheels; |
and before he could get cut of the way it |
run over and broke his right leg between the
foot and knee joint. At last accounts he
was doing well, the fracture being set as
soon as the services of physician could be
secured.
Mr.. G. L. Hall, of the Omaha Com

Friend Telegraph: Several parties
who attended church last Sabbath evening |
complain of the loss of robes, blankets,
gloves, whips, etc. OF course this was laid |
to the show fellows, but a careful examina-
ton of their traps failed to develop any
thing belonging to those who had been re-
lieved.
Lyons Mirror: A. B. Fuller informs |
US that all the stock required has been taken |
in the Salina, Lincoln and Decatur railroad,

appears to be in good shape.
