COAL RUsTLERs on THE MOVE.
Thcy Make business of RObbing
the Union Pncific Cnrs.

the Union Pacific Cars.
The Union Pacific is having trouble with
coal rustlers on the western part OF the
Nebraska division. The headquarters of the
gang that has committed most of the
depredations is at Ogallala, and the crews
and train men have had many encounters
with the thieves. who seem to be we'll or
ganized, and to be carrying on their business
In systematic manner.
On one of the outgoing trains Tuesday
night Brakeman Norval discovered several
OF the rustlers at work, loading a wagon
with coal in the Ogallala yards He at
tempted to place the gang under arrest, when
he was assaulted and badly beaten. In the
fight one of the robbers drew revolver and
shot Norval, the pulet striking Norval's
temple near the right, eye, and made a
gancing wound, coming. out near the left
eye He was seriously, but not fatally
wounded. 1.,.
United States Marshal White of Omaha
was on the passenger itrail that followed
the fraight crew to which Norval belonged.
He was notified of the affair, and headed a
posse that at once started after the coal
thieves. Special Agent Tobln of the Union
Pacific has also gone with a party in search
of the robbers. j
Advices received at Union Pacific head
quarters are to the effect that the stealing
has been done by a gang nf thieves, and
that they have conducted a profitable busi-
ness by robbing the Union Pacific coal cars
and selling their booty to the farmers and
ranchmen in the vicinity Of Ogallala.

Whey squeIched tic FIumes.

In the big railroad offices one man is en-
ployed whose chief duty is to receive and file
reports relating to accidents, and also
care for the company's property along the
line. All desire for blood and thunder read
ing is satiated by the reports that come in
from different stations along the line. coal
shed burns and the local agent, section fore
man or other employe charged with the duty
of reporting the mishap let's his mind and
pen run in recounting the particulars of the
calamity.
The Burlington roundhouse at Curtis
caught fire Thursday. The employe who re-
ported it sent in a lurid account of the
affair. "The community was startled by the
changing Of the fire bells and the blowing of
whistles" and then the location of the fire
was discovered and the stoutest hearts
quailed in face of the threatened calamity.
1.-THE citizens rallied nobly," the report read,
land headed by the mayor and the leading
business men, fought back the fire iend'
and saved the structure.
This fire broke out about four feet west OF
the smoke stack on the roundhcuse and Is
supposed to have been o. incendiary origin,
The damage is estimated at something liks
10 cents, which is Offset by the satisfaction
that the population of Curtis, when an emer-
gency arises, is ready to lay aside personal
differences and stand as one man for the
good of the town.

Whipped His Wife.

One Of the members of the Gotham City
Quartet" one of the attractions presented at
the opera house Thursday night by James
b. Maclxie and the Grimes Cellar Door,
company, introduced specially into the
performance which was not down on the
program and which, unfortunately was wit
messed only by the members of the company
and the stage carpenters. According to the
best accounts that can be obtained, he had
received a letter from lady which caused
a domestic broil. His wife insisted on see
ing the letter, and he insisted on her mind
ing her own business. She became too in
uuisitive, as he thought, and he brought her
to an appreciation of her wlfely duties by
giving her a whack about the ear that
knocked her down. Jim Vesey, the stage
carpenter, rushed in, seeing what the vo-
calist had done, and commanded him to let
the woman alone. Seeing Vesey's form tow
ering above him, he walked of. The quartet
was turned into trio, at least for that
evening, and the pugilistic impressario van
ished from sight

AGREEMENT HAS NOT TAKEN SHAPE
Lines Discussing
Passenger business,


CHICAGO. Nov. 22.--The transcontinen,al
lines were in session all day considering the
provisions of an agreement on passenger
business. The meeting accomplished moth
ing, and the work was not sufficiently far
along when an adjournment was taken to
estimate the chances of adoption by all lines
The meeting will be contiued tomorrow.
A proposition has been submitted to the
American roads to make a rate Of one and
one-third for Thanksgiving. Tickets at this
rate will be sold November 81, rs and 20.
The roads Of the Central Traffic association
has already agreed to make this rate and
their example will probably force the western
lines into making the same rate.
Steamship men and the western roads are
at loggerheads over the question of annual
passes. 1t has been customary in the past
to issue to the steamship companies a num-
Der OF ANNALS. The roads are going to draw
the lines tighter this year than ever before
1t is proposed to give one annual pass to
the steamship agencies which are in any
way connected or which work UP business for
the Emigrant Clearing house. The steam
ship companies are very much dispeased
but as the original proposition of the roads
was to give them none at all, they are
doing fairly well under the circumstances.
