THERE is GOOD TRADE IN WEST
Activity Thus Far in 1904 has Exceed
ed Expectations in Some Lines.
Demand Solid and Promising.

Chicago, Jan. 81 - The general
wholesale trade in the central west
is solid and of the promising sort. In
many lines the activity thus far in 1904
has exceeded expectations. This Is
especially true of the grocery and dry
goods trade. In the general grocery
trade the present business is very no.
ticeably above the normal, and in sta
pies the activity is pronounced.
In the iron and steel branches the
years beginning is very propitious
and scarcely any part of the industry
reports other than most encouraging
prospects for at least six months to
come. Producers of agricultural inn
plements, wire and nails also report
the situation and outlook as highly
satisfactory.

MANY FIREMEN ARE ATTENDING
The Convention at Fremont Said to
be Largest in History of the
State Association.

Fremont Jan 21.-The enrolment
of firemen at the state convention
reached 307 at noon. OF this number
about 100 were new members, whose
applications were accepted since yes
terday. The credential committee re-
ported long list of delegates at this
mornings session, which was made
up as the roster of the convention.
The attendance is said to be the larg-
est of any convention the state volun-
teer firemen's association has ever
held.
The business proceedings yesterday
closed at noon, when an adjournment
was taken until 9 o'clock this morn
ing. In the afternoon the delegates
from out of the city were entertained
by the local firemen. They were es-
corted to various places of interest
about town and also on the inevitable
TIP to the Fremont Brewing com
pany's plant
A picture of the convention was
taken by local photographer at the
court house at 2 o'clock Free tick
cts to a theatrical performance this
evening have been issued to all the
visiting firemen.
]. A. Scheick of Beatrice, who was
a delegate to the national firemen's
association meeting at Chicago last
September, submitted a report on the
doings of that assemblage.
First Vice President Michael Bauer
of Nebraska City took the chair while
President Hartford read his annual re-
port The president said he had Wis
tied a number of towns in the north
ern part of the state where there are
fire departments but which are not
, ~ scented at this meeting A good
many of these departments he assert
ed are not collecting any insurance
tax and not getting ali the privileges
they are entitled to. Mr.. Hartford
thought this was owing to lack Of or
gani2atpn
A list of topics assigned for papers
during the convention was read, and
Secretary Miller followed with a por-
ton of his annual report. He sug-
gested that the convention fix a time
limit for making entries for the state
tournament and that it also fix the
date of the tournament. He recon-
mended that the length of hose at
tached in coupling contest be specified
in the rules. All these suggestions
We're referred to the committee on
constitution and rules. The secre-
tarys financial report and the state
ments of the treasurer and commit
tees of the association were given to
the convention this morning
The district court room was crowd
ed beyond the limit of its seating ca

to order for the first time. The badges
of the delegates made the chamber

with noble personages.

HIDE $4,000 IN A HAYSTACK
Quimby Bank Robbers Guide Officers
to the Spot Where the Money
is Concealed.

Sioux City, Jan. 21.-One of the
Quimby bank robbers, Abner Hicks,
guided the officers to a haystack
north of Cherokee and delivered to
them $4,000 of securities which the
cracksmen hid in a haystack after
dividing the booty they secured from
the bank. Hicks related with much
gusto some of the details of the roo
berry.
C. J. Smith, the Pinkerton detective,
who with Chief Davenport rounded
up the Quimby bank robbers, left yes
he will report to his chief and suggest
that four or five Pinkertons besides
himself be sent out here to look after
the yeggmen.
Mr.. Smith came in from Cherokee
this morning, after seeing Abner
Hicks, John Wicks, Elmer Dunning
and Charles White started in charge
of Sheriff Hogan for Animosa, where
they will spend seven years each for
the Quimby job
since Jne prisoners $1,000 up IN as
trict court and pleaded guilty to bur
glary last Saturday Hicks and White
have been more inclined to talk,
Hicks volunteered to guide the officers
to a point fourteen miles northwest
of Cherokee where the gang hid the
bank paper the night of the robbery.
In charge of Sheriff Hogan and De
tectiye Smith, Hicks piloted them to
a hapstack where all the securities
were found intact On the way he
talked about the robbery, admitting
he was the one who handled the nitro
glycerine.
1--WE went out of Sioux City the
night of December 10 on the flyer
which leaves here at 1880, said Hicks
we got off-all four of us-at Cher.

FOR THE SECOND CROP OF ICE
One Bit Of the Harvest Has Been Com
pIeted and the Icemen are
Praying for Freeze.

"If some of that y-below-2orO
weather would wander around in this
direction said George Schwcnk, the
iceman, eve would possibly get in a
second crop of the crystallized aqua
before the sunshine of the springtime
returns to create a demand for our
commodity and lack of its supply"
The first freeze of the year enabled
the icemen of this section to get in
one crop. 1t is now very necessary
that some more of the frosty type Of
atmosphere should get into the game
so that the refrigeratOrs next summer
will not have to stand out on the back
porch waiting in vain for the man on
the back of the wagon who weighs
out the ice.
The Schwenk ice houses in River
side addition are pretty well filed. A
large number of other ice houses, in
Guiding the various beer vaults and
the Dexter cold storage plant, remain
yet iceless.
George StalcOp has the contract for
filing most of these and has prepared
place in the Norfolk river above the
sugar factory dam where he gets a
clean, clear quality 1t makes a haul
Of about two miles. Mr.. Stalcop has
not started in the filling of the vaults.
FAULTS.
The time Of year is still young
enough if the weather will condcscend
to freeze a bit before the very warm
ing spring. But even now it is ap-
preaching that season of the winter
when the sun crawls a little bit too
far up into the skies for just the
perfectest sort of ice. While it will
freeze solid at any old time of the
year that brings the mercury down
below the thirty-two mark, yet it is
a fact that when the sun crecps too
far up into the heavens the chunks
are not so clear as they otherwise
might be- being filled with what is
technically known among Ice cutters
as "honey-combed."

Qumby citizens.
"As a matter of fact the burglars
are darn sight worse scared of the
citizens than the citizens are of the
burglars but the cits don't know that"
he said. "That night in Quimby ]

He WANTS DAMAGES OF SIS, 900
J. A. Anderson Sues His Father-in-
Law, John Berg, for that Amount
on Various Counts.

Lincoln, Jan. 21-John A. Ander-
son, formerly of Waverley has filed
a sensational damage suit for $4,000
against John Berg his father-n-law,
of the same town. In substance the
plaintiff charges that Berg beat his
(Anderson's) son Carl, a boy of ten
der years, so numerically that the
latter died a few days afterward, and
declaring that when he lay on his
deathbed his last words were that
grandfather beat me so hard that l
nearly died" He also declares that
while lying sick from paralysis, caused
by being struck with timber Berg
jumped on him and beat him unmer-
cifully and threw him out of the house
because he had quoted the words of
the dying child.

SCHEME OF ELOPERS is NlPPED
Knox County Couple Could Not Get
License to Wed at Yankton Be-
cause they Were Not Known.

Yankton, S. D., Jan. 21.-The power
of the law by means of the long dis
tance telephone Tuesday nipped in the
bud charmins romance when Sher-
iff Burn of Knox county, Nebraska,
telephoned to S. A. Boyles, county
judge of Yankton county, to hold
James Davis and Emma Nix, a youth
full couple who had eloped ffom the
home of the girls parents in Knox
county
The young couple called at the Of
flee of the clerk of the courts in the
morning, and giving their ages as 23
and 1S years, asked for a license,
clerk was compelled to refuse them
the coveted paper. The lovers had
had long hard drive from the girls
home and the disappointment well
nigh put the wouldbe bride in tears
Determined not to be thwarted they
set out in a city almost unknown to
them in a vain search for someone
who could vouch for them. Meanwhile
the sheriff of Knox county was MAX
ing frantic efforts to get the ear of
the county court. Sheriff Burn was
called upon by the parents of the
youthful bride, who, they aver, is but
16 years of age to ask the elopers
be arrested and held by the sheriff
of Yankton county until they could
be returned to Knox county. Later
in the afternoon Mr.. Davis called at
the clerks Office with a friend who
could swear to but a part of the an
swers required. He was informed of
the state of affairs and that the sher-
iff of Yonkton county was looking for
him.
He lost no time in further search
for witnesses, but jumped into his rig,
in which he drove to YanktOn, made
a speedy departure with Miss Nix for
Har 'ington, Neb., where he hoped to
out ! the officers and the incensed
pa ITS by getting a license and be-
inA married before they could be ap-

THEY WANT TO COME TO NORFOLK
George D. Bayha, Prominent in Mo-
brara, Says They Like to do
Shopping Here.

When George G. Bayha who Is ono
Of the best known men in the country
around Niobrara was In Norfolk this
week, he called ON n number of his
old timc friends and talked about
things in general for just little
while. He arrived on the morning
train at O'Clock, transacted his bust
ness and returned to Niobrara ut II
little after o'clock the same after
noon.
70 one of the men he met, Mr..
Bayha said: "lt Is absolutely correct
that the people of Niobrara and of
that whole country TO the north and
west of this place, would "A whole lot
rather come to Norfolk to do their
trading than they would to 20 to
Omaha or Sioux city. 1t Is true, too,
that lot of them haven't been stop
ping in Norfolk who adyantagcously
might, but they are going to do it
iiuLl rgr' on.
Now, for instance | came down
here this morning might have gone
to Omaha to do the same business.
II cost me $l9O and III get back home
about the middle of this afternoon. 1t
would have cost me 1920 more for
railroad fare to go to Omaha; it would
have taken until tomorrow afternoon
to get back home, adding the expense
Of hotel and days time to that.
1--WE people all like Norfolk We
realize that the interests which are
ours are the interests of Norfolk. We
appreciate the fact that we can come
in here, get through trading and re-
turn just twenty-four hours ahead of
other markets and we know a good
thing.
"Thcre are some drawbacks how
ever Norfolk doesn't seem to realize
what there is up in our country for
| it if the town would only reach out
glad hand. A good many people on
| that morning train today were going
TO Omaha to take advantage OF some
| Of the special sales that were adver-
tiscd. Norfolk will have to learn to
go after a big outside trade in the
same way that other cities do before
she will get all that ought to be com
ing this way"
TO Judge Powers and John r. Hays,
Mr.. Bayha spoke very nicely of The
News in its new outside territory

Of Omaha papers to quite an extent"

defendant in numerous ways by de-
claring in her presence that she ought
to have married man with greater
means and that the plaintiff ought to
have more money than he had.
This persecution, Anderson says,
continued until he lost his job as
bridge carpenter with the Burlington,
the defendant sending the foreman Of

deserted his family and refused to

LINDSAY HAD A BAD FIRE.
Town Was Threatened for
a While Yesterday Noon.
THE BUCKET BRIGADE SAVED IT

Ready to Respond.

Lindsay, Neb, Jan. 20,-Special to
The News: For about an hour after
noon today large part of the resi-
dence portion of Lindsay was threat
ened by fire, and but for the heroic
work of the bucket brigade many pco-
pie would undoubtedly now be home
less.
The residence belonging to J. r..
Johnson caught fire from defective
hue while dinner was In course of
preparation and the house was quick
ly completely destroyed, There was
another residence property within
twenty feet of the burned residence
and the flames and burning Cindcrs
were hurled toward it by the strong
wind that prevailed and for a timo
it was thought it would be impossible
to save it from destruction, and if 1t
had caught, large portion of the res
idence part of town would undoubt-
edly have been burned,
Asked Aid Of Humphrey.
When it was thought that it would
be impossible to keep the flames from
taking a large portion of the town a
message was sent to Humphrey for
the chemical engine of that place and
for members of the fire department.
The Northwestern was also asked to
have a special in readiness to bring
the engine and tiremcn. BOth quick
ly responded to the appeal and there
would shortly have been a special
carrying the Humphrey department
and their apparatus to the scene of
the fire, but the Lindsay fire fighters
found they could prevent the flames
from spreading and the preparations
of Humphrey people and of the rail
road company to render prompt as
sistance were not competed.
The Lindsay fire fighters stayed by
the blaze like heroes and with buck
cts of water put out the flying embers.
The people of Lindsay whose homes
were threatened feel grateful to the
members ofthc bucket brigade for their
prompt and vigorous work and they
wish The News to express their hear
ty appreciation to the Humphrey fire
department as well as to the North
western officials who made such
prompt response to their appeal for

TO SHOOT BANK ROBBERS.
Enterprising Nebraska Banker Has a
Novel Way for Treating Robbers.

Enterprsing Nebraska Banker Has
Novel Way for Treating Robbers.
jackson, Neb, Jan. 2O.-Banker Kear-
ney has put in force a new idea for
the discOuragement of bank robbers
in his neighborhOod, by purchasing
half dozen good shotguns, each in
a canvas case. supplied with a eltb
full of buck shot cartridges. These
guns have been distributed to a num-
ber Of determined men who live near
the bank, and are to be used in case
of an attack on the bank. The state
association, Of which Mr. Kearney is
a member, offers a standing reward
of $500 for bank robbers while his
burglary insurance company offers an
other liberal reward, The Criterion
rather imagines that the next burglars
that attack this bank will be consid-
erably surprised when his burglar
alarm, electrical devices and about
six to a dozen guns are trained on
them. "An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure" and any en-
| terprising burglar wishing to see a
real interesting time. can call at Jack
son most any old time and be accom-
modated.
