James M. Brown, a scab engineer ut Ne
braska City, was recently attacked by three
unknown men who beat him with clubs,
f~racturing his skull and jawbone in a
frightful manner. Brown was found in a
dazed condition wandering about the
streets and taken to his hotel. He has
always spoken bitterly against the striking
engineers, aud came from Bromfield, Mo-,
to accept the position Of engineer OF a b.
4 M. switch engine. He is not as badly
injured as at first reported and will recoyer.
It is thought his assailants were footpads
and were frightened of before succeeding
in robbery. The brotherhood engineers
are very indignant that they should be sus-
picioned Of having u hand in the affair.

Quite u Blaze.

Fremont was recently the scene of a dis
astrous confagration. The Are originated
in the base of n large brick block in which
was stored several barrels OF kerosene,
which, when ignited, caused an explosion
that scattered the fire eyond the control
of the fire department. The supply Of
water gave out shortly after the fire got
under way, SO that nothing was left for the
citizens to do but turn their attention to
the saving Of goods. leaving the buildings
to the mercy Of the flames. The losses are
heavy and insurance light, as the following

At o meeting Of the directors of the
Fremont Stock Yard and Land company,
recently held at Fremont, the executive
committee was ordered to proceed at once
to the construction Of another packing
house. 1t is expected hat the institution
will be all completed in time for active
work at the opening Of the packing season
this fall. The capacity of the building
will be from 1000 to 1900 hogs per day.
This quiet decision Of the company to
double the capacity Of their plant is looked
upon with great flvor by the people of
Fremont. The packing house 10 in OPP
Grafton has proved beyond all question
that the business can be carried on with
great success. When houses ut Sioux
City, Nebraska City and Lincoln have shut
down for the want Of hogs tn $ one has
continued right along with more than il
could handle. It has demonstrated that
pork packing here is not exp~erimental-it
is o certain success. The unlimited sup
ply of hogs places Fremont on o sure
footing.
