usually does it would find it no easy matter

to furnish transports with fuel Business
generally in this line is reported fair, sales
being up to the average and prices steady.
1t is singular that at this time last year there
were fifteen more vessels loading coal in
Australia for here than at present. with about
1900 tons more coal, although the outlook
this year is most encouraging for a large sur

Robbers, Roost Unearthed.

HASTINGS, Neb. May 24.-.(Special Tele-
gram )-Sheriff Simmering and an officer
from Webster county have succeeded in
unearthing robbers roost near Rosemont
and recovered about $1,000 worth of stolen
goods. The officers placed Bill Leach, a
Rosemont merchant, under arrest, as they
have strong evidence which duplicates him
WITH the gang. 1t is thought he is one of
the head men of the organization and that
he simply ran the store to dispose of the
stolen goods. During the last year mer-
chants at Trumbull. Glenville, Bromfield
Ayr, Funk. Aurora and other small towns
have had their stores robbed, but the
thieves have always escaped. 1t is almost
certain that the den unearthed near Rose
mont is the home of a large band OF the
bold thieves and safe-crackers who have
infected this part of the state for a long
time. Sheriff Simmering today received a
dispatch from Detective Malone at Lincoln
saying he had three or four fellows under
arrest whom he thought belonged to the
gang 1t is thought the robbers roost is a
branch OF the band of robbers that was
captured in Hanover. Kan. about a year
and a half ago.

FREMONT. Neb.. May 24.-(SpeciaL)-
Schrader, the so-called divine healer, shook
the mud of Fremont off his feet this morn
ing and left for Lincoln, taking with him
at least $3.50 from the gullible public for
blessing handkerchiefs, ETC. Monday he did
rushing business, many of the best people
of the city attending his meetings. When
the public became aware of his real OBJ
ject, which appeared to be to get as much
money as possible, the feeling against him
became very bitter, especially among church
people. His meeting last evening was very
slimly attended. Only few wanted bless
ing and as there were indications of trouble
brewing he left the hall about $50. Had
he appeared today he would have met with
rough treatment. So far as known he has
not effected a single cure, though many of
the sick and afflicted parted with their
money for his blessing.
