A Pleasant Tlne.

Aug. IA, 1899.-ED1ToR TIMES
Quite number of the neighbors and
friends assembled at the residence of
Robert Losh, Thursday evening, last,
to inform him that he had reached the
49th mile post.
Mr.. Losh had been stacking wheat
that day and had not taken note of the
fact that 1t was his birthday, so when
his friends came in the evening he was
so exceedingly surprised that he forgot
to ask them: to take seats. We re.
minded him that he was 40 years old
and ne soon collected his wit, which
had enscohcee Erstha time being, and
braced up ard 6iye us genuine old
Quaker welc9ma4e that made us feel
glad that We wesp there, and good
misunderstanding is believing; with
music Apon the organ by Miss Della
Loshi singing b, Allss Minnie Tuttle,
of Colorado, and "reminiscences of the
time "When Bill and l Were Boys"
etc, the evening passed like q dream,
until IL o'clock, when Mrs. tosh. in,
vited us into the dining room,., where
| we found the tables loaded with all
that one could wish for-plenty of
lemonade, etc., for bracer MIR. Losh
was enjoying himself so extremely
we'll tbgt his friends had to pick him
np and carry hiM into the dining room
where they deposited him at the head
Of tho tsble-well, y6a- had ought to
lhaye seen the LADIES' wait upon him, it
''ats VS. eauld have q 10Th
birthday ourself. .
We had the best the farm afforded
from start to finish, and at O'Clock
we all started for home, wishing Mr..
Losh the enjoyment Of many more
birthdays like this one, ss his friends
will long remember that enjoyable
Thursday evening.

along their lonesome journey without
seeing . human face. When yet many
miles from Santa Fe they were over
taken by . bowling band Of Indians
and . fierce battle was fought. Brid-
gene and his companion exhausted
their ammunition and continued the
fight With their knives. Finally they
succeeded In unloosdng their horses
from tire stage, and. quickly mounting
them, led through the timber. The
savages gave chase and succeeded In
separating the two men, but did not
capture either Of them. Mr.. Brddgens
still retained HIS treasure, but he lost
his way among the craga and canyons.

he found his way to the house OF q

TO EXTEND ITS LINE
SOUTH FROM ONAWA.
Rumored Intentions of the
Illinois Central Railway
Are Quite Numerous.

All kinds of rumOrs as 10 plans of
the Illinois Central are flying around
about just now. Last saturday the
T.ibu.e priutsd u dispatch, indicating
that tile Central purpOsed making g
short cut from Cherokee to Sioux City.

morning rays that the Central viii ex.

nection with Its new Fort Dudge-O ma-
ha line ct Lovelard, Ia
The Leader states ia lis headline
Leave Sioux City III Cold" It's story
is as follows:
"lhls week the Illinois Central will
put party Of surveyors In the field
between Onawa and Loveland to run o
line for al extension of its Onawa and
Cherokee branch to connection with
the new Fort Dodge and Omaha branch.
1T is expected the survey will start
from Grant Center, about nine miles
portheast of Onawa, and near the
crossing of the Central and Milwaukee
roads, and will skirt the river bluffs,
which 40 far down as Willow river are
from six to eighteen miles east of the
Missouri river, and border stretch of
bottom land that is regarded as the
most productive corn and hog belt in
Iowa. This would give the Illinois
Central line about forty miles long
and paralleling the Sioux City and Pa.
citic at distance of from six to ten
miles 1t would pass through or nesr
| the towns of Turin and Little Sioux,
and would in all probability pass
Through Missouri Valley. The extern.
sion would also give to the Illinois Cen.
trail u continuous line from Omaha to
Sioux Falls in South Dakota, which
would be the only direct line from
Omaha into that portion of Dakota
east Of the Missouri river. Sioux
