Quite a disastrous collision-to the
rolling stock at least-occurred Satur-
day morning at about 3 o'clock, between
No. going west and No. 2, east bound.
On account of the wash-out at Stratton,
the meeting point was designated at
Laird, a few miles beyond the Nebraska
state line. No. 70, Donahue engineer,
was drawing No. 2, and just before
pulling into Laird, which has only a
side-track, the chimney of her head
light broke. While on the main track
at Laird, the lamp was replaced by a
lantern, which gave out at best only a
faint light. In the meantime No. 1O1,
Dickson engineer, who claims that he
mistook the putting of the lantern into
79's headlight as a signal ''to come
ahead" came laundering along at a
high rate of speed, going into 70 with
terrific force, using up both engines
and one baggage car badly. No. 101
is one of the new engines recently built
for speed and for use on the west end.
She is much heavier than the ordinary
run of engines on the B. & NJ, and is
very speedy, and coming into the other
engine as she did at high speed, the
wreck of both engines was complete.
No. lois front trucks and both cylin-
ders were taken off slick and clean, her
heavy frame was bent and twisted, large
castings were cracked and broken, and
her entire machinery pretty well strain
ed. No. 79's pilot, smoke stack and
bell were torn off, cylinders injured,
water tank moved from its position and
otherwise demoralized. The tender of
1O1 was driven into the end Of the bag
gage car about eight feet. 1t is almost
supernatural that none we're injured or
killed, as the paralyzed condition of the
locomotives attests the terrible force
with which the powerful and weighty
1O1 came into the stationary train. The
engines and baggage car were taken to
Plattsmouth, Wednesday night.

Two farmers, who had been misin.
formed to the effect that there were
parties in McCook buying grain, brought
each load of rye into town, Tuesday,
and their chagrin and disgust may be
better imagined than expressed. After
all that has been written and said about
this matter it does now appear that no
arrangements whatever have been made
for handling the grain of this section.
1t is simply matter of justice to our
farmers that some arrangements be
made by the people of this town. Is it
not here they do their trading and
spend their money, and those thus ben
Gifted ought to take this matter in hand
for the accommodation of their patrons,
not to be sure at a financial loss to
themselves, but while there may not be
any big money in handling grain, this
season, it may be handled at profit,
in addition to bringing people and mon
ey into the town. 1t is mistaken idea
that McCook has reached point where
she will march ght on without any
effort on the part of her business men
in her behalf

The past two weeks have been preg-
nant with the benedictions which the
liberal internal use of spirits fermenti
is want to bestow on all the benighted
sons of Adam. Our pugilistic friend,
Pat. Kelly, who was DESTROYS of polish
ing the editor off in the highest style of
the manly art some time since, at last
met foe worthy of his steel. King
Alcohol laid bare his almighty arm for
the finale and soon had the puissant
Patrick in chancery. In plain Anglo
Saxon, Pat had so outraged his consti-
tuition during his jamboree of the past
month or more that he was seized with
a bad attack of tremens. He retired
one night, and arose, not to find him
self famous, but beset on all sides by
every hideous creature which his over
wrought and diseased imagination could
conjure up. Fleeing the place without
even taking time to go through the for
mality of a toilet, he was taken in tow
by Constable Mccormick late in the
afternoon, after having spent almost
the entire day terrorizing the populace
of South and West McCook in that
nude state. He was taken to the Col
vim House and placed under physi-
clans care. He fingered some time in
a dangerous condition, when nature re-
asserted herself, and he was sent down
to Oxford, Sunday. There were num-
Der of other tremen-candidates, who
luckily escaped that terrible sequence,
but let us draw the curtain.

like pulling down a dam when the water

such always on hand is through adver-
