Originals defeat the Tecumseh team of bail
tossers in well pIayed game Sunday after
noon by the score of Is to 4. 1t was the
second contest of the series and the de-
cisve victory is balm to the souls of the
rooters who had their ardor dampened by
defeat in the initia. game.
Aside from the sportsman's point OF view
the match was a huge success, in that q
considerable sum of money was realized
from 1t for the Golfers of the Herman tor
nado sufferers.
The score is not true indication of the
visitors strength, as they played snappy
ball until the fifth and sixth innings, when
the slump came and an accumulation OF
errors enabled the Originals to cross the
plate for a winning lead. For Tecumseh
Morrisseg at second and Case at third

and effective and their throwing accurate:

game was LAWYER who occupied the box

TEN YEARS FOR TRAIN R0BBER
Jury Finds stubblcfcld Guilty of At
tempting to Hold Up Missouri
Pacific Express.

SEDALIA, Mo-, June 1S.-The jury in the
case of Eli ]. Stubblefeld, charged with the
attempted robbery Of a Missouri Pacific eX-
press train near here in November last, re-
turned a verdict today finding Stubblefeld
guilty and fixing his punishment at ten
years Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary. The trial Of James l. West, Stubble-
fields alleged accomplice, Will begin tomor-
row morning.
Stubblefield had been in the employ of
the Missouri Pacific as a conductor and West
as an engineer. The plan to rob the train
had been revealed in advance to the rail-
road officials and when the train was
brought to standstill detectives opened
fire on the robbers. Stubblefield had one
arm shot away, but managed to escape. He
and West were arrested few hours later,
when they returned to their homes.
The sensation of the trial was the testi-
mony of e. H. Adams, a real estate agent
who was formerly in the employ of the
Missouri Pacific as an engineer.

CITY MUST PRACTICE ECONOMY
Reduced Assessmcnt At Columbus
Puts CitN In u md Why.

COLUMBUS, Neb., June 1S.-(Special)-
The valuation OF this city, as returned by
the assessors, is some $4,000 less than ever
before. There are several causes for this:
First, an official survey of the meanderings
of the Loup river was taken last January
by the county surveyor and from when the
map which he filed 1t was found that little
over twelve blocks Of the original plot Of the
city had been washed away by the treach-
erous stream and they were consequently
stricken from the tax list. This was the
first official survey in fourteen years Mil
lard addition. which was plated and thrown
on the market in 1890, but which was never
improved to any extent was by an order OF
the court vacated last fall, and In addition
TO these the banks of this city reduced their
capital stock last January to the amount
of $4,000. On all of this the city loses
the assessment, which places 1t in rather
bad financial condition, and 1t is possible
that the old occupation tax will have to be
again resorted to in order to meet the sit
nation,

HORSES AND MULES BURN IN BARN
Incendiary Sets Fire to Property OF
Cnss County sheriff.

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., June 1S.-(Spe-
cial.) )-Sheriff w. d. Wheeler, who resides
near Murray, on what Is known as the Dan
H. Wheeler farm, was iu the city today
and stated that his barn and the contents
were totally consumed by fire about
o'clock this morning, In the barn at the
time were five mules, three horses. seven
sets of harness, a new buggy, two wagons
twenty tons of hay and his greyhound. Cir
cumstances all go to show that the bar
barous deed of killing the faithful dog and
starting the fire which roasted the dumb
animals was the work of an incendiary, who
by committing some crime had fallen into
the hands of the law, and the wrong was
done to spite the sheriff for performing his
duty. Sheriff Wheeler carried $500 insur'
ance on the horses and mules, $500 on the
| hay and 800 en-. the harnesses and imple-
| ments. Thus far the evil-doer has not beer
| located.

results have justified the step, for the order
has been perfect ever since the storm. Even
to-day, with the enormous crowd here, there
has not been any loud or bosterous conduct.
II was a most respectable and orderly crowd
II did not show undue curiosity or any dis
position to pry into the affairs Of the citi-
zens, but on the contrary respecting their
feelings fully. The visitors passed the day
wandering about the ruins, listening to the
tales of the survivors and drinking lemon
ade.
First Attempts to Rebuild.
The attempts to rebuild have so far been
limited to the construction of two or three
sheds for business purposes. One OF these
is that of the lumber company They are
all quite small and are Cnly intended to
serve until their owners have recouped their
broken fortunes enough to replace them
with more slightly structures. How long this
will be is the question in every mind.
The presence of many visitors in the
town today has resulted in very substan-
tal financial aid to the people, brought in
in way that is not open to the objections
that have been urged against several other
forms of contribution. 1t has been of bene-
At in another way in that it has given the
people listeners to talk to and in recounting
their narrow escapes and exciting expert
ences, or some of the few humorous incl
dents connected with the coming of the tor
nado they have shaken off some of their
own depression of spirits. One of the many
stories going around is to the effect that a
young man and a young woman, on seeing
the approach Of the storm started out to
run to the same cellar. They were at equal
distances from it, but the young man con-
cluded he coSld not reach it in time and
la
young woman reached the cellar and safety
The man was caught between the first and
second floors, which came together, and was
further imprisoned by the collapsing walls
Fortunately he managed to dig his way out
unharmed. The participants in the inn
promptu footrace can now think OF 1t with
more equanimity than they did at the time

SUMMER SCHOOL is DOING WELL.
President of state Normal We'll
pIcnscd with the Outlook.


LINCOLN, June 1S.-(Speclal.)-Th All
thorities of the Peru Normal school feel
highly gratifed at the success already at
tanned by the summer session of that in
stitution both on account Of the increasing
enrolment and the character of the work
that Is being done. President Beattle or the
Normal school was in the city yesterday and
while here he informed the state superin-
tendent that the attendance has far exceeded
his expectation and the prospects for the
future are brighter than before the session
opened. On the second day OF the summer
session over ninety teachers, coming from all
parts OF the state, were in attendance and
as many more were expected to enroll dur
ing the next few days. This Is the first
year of the summer school of that institution
and 1t is not surprising that President
Beattie and the authorities of the school feel
proud of the record already established, es-
pecially when 1t is remembered that the
normal summer session Is competing with
so many old established institutions. The
Peru Normal school is handicapped in many
ways. The location of the State university
undoubtedly brings to Lincoln every sum-
mer quite q number of teachers who would
not go to smaller town for summer school
work. The State university has better faci-
lities for bringing itself before the public
and advertising it's advantages than the
Peru Normal school, and being located al
the state capital 1t naturally attracts more
attention than 1t would were it located at a
smaller place. Larger and more extensive
