bridge. One end of the cable was tied
anchored to a dead man" To this
cable other cables were fastened and
run to the piles of the bridge. In this
way each bent of the bridge was
anchored to the cable stretched across
the river.
When the ice threatened the bridge a
few weeks ago short guard piles were
driven in the river a few feet above the
bridge and fastened by planks to the
bridge piles During the last few days
new planks had been nailed to the
guard piles to strengthen the bridge
and railroad iron had been thrown
down beside the piles to hold them in
place.
The river below the bridge was prac-
tically clear of ice yesterday afternoon,
but above the bridge the ice was bank
ed for a distance of so rods. There is
a bend at that place and the ice re-
mains longer than in other places on
the river. Some of the ice had been in
the river since the first freezing wealth
er It was piled in layers and in some
places was six feet thick. About half a
mile up the river men employed by the
Stewart Peck Sand company were
breaking the ice by dynamite in order
to get sand out of the river. The blasts
dislodged pieces of ice which f1oated
down stream and struck the mass
above the bridge. This, with the force
of the explosions. is supposed to have
helped loosen the ice foe The river
began to rise yesterday and the water
opened a small channel on the south
side of the river. The men working
at that end of the bridge were driven
away.

rs SORE AT TEBEAU,
"Bill" Rourke Is in Favor of Dropping
Colorado Springs Magnate.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 16.-Manager
Rourke of the Omaha baseball team
says the action of George Tebeau in
getting an order from the court at Lin
coin restraining the Western league
from meeting without recognizing him
as a member, and from taking action
with respect to the Denver franchise,
is move upon the part of the magnate
to put himself in position to dominate
any league that may be formed in this
part Of the country.
'Tebeau wishes to keep Denver and
Omaha together" says Rourke, land
thus have a nucleus around which
league can be formed at any time Den
yer is one of the best baseball proper
ties in the country and Tebeau knows it.
Burns of Colorado Springs is working
hard for Tebeau and, there exists
strong sentiment in favor of throwing
him out of the league and for one 1
shall favor that action. We can throw
him out under a rule we adopted at our
recent meeting at st. Louis. I am get
ting tired Of this fight in the Western
league. I have an offer from Tebeau,
but 1 will not turn down my friends in
Denver. The hearing on the restraining
order secured by Tebeau has been put
off till Wednesday. 1 make no question
that the league will win out. Under
the circumstances our meeting will have
to be deferred till week after next.

GARDENERS NEW MANAGER.
Philadelphia Boy Doing Well Out in
the West.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 16.-Gus
Gardner closed his weeks engagement
here at Smiths theater with an exhi-
bition four rounds of fast boxing with
Jim Popp. Both men made good inn
preston, and while the bout was short
they both went in for blood.
Gardner hardly had a chance to show
his ability here, as few boxers cared to
go against him. He is a tOp-nOtcher in
his class, and if he appears here at the
February show of the Olympic club he
will certainly be a good drawing card.
Since his split with his former man
ager, Robson, Gardner has been look
ing for a good man to manage him and
he found such a man in T. J. Thacker,
who last evening closed the deal. Mr..
Thacker is a newspaper man and was
formerly sporting editor on several
southern papers. He will begin his du-
ties at once.

NO MONEY IN FOOTBALL.
Nebraska Finds 1913 Deficit in Ath-
letic Treasury.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 16-Footban at
Nebraska university during the last
season was not financial success. The
athletic board, after auditing the re-
port of the football manager in detail,
finds a debt of $513.63 standing against
it. No means of settling the deficit has
yet been found. The expenses for the
season were smaller than usual, but it
was found that they exceeded the re-
ceipts by $1,319-26. At the beginning
of the season the board had the sum
of $500. SO on hand.
The report shows that every game of
the season with one exception received
a poorer attendance than during the
previous year. The exception is the
Thanksgiving contest with Illinois,
which drew a crowd paying SIS more
than the game with Northwestern uni
t1ceable change in this respect was the
game with the Haskell Indians, for the
difference in the receipts of the two
games of 1902 and 1903 with the redmen
was 81, 04970. Each successive year the
receipts from the contest with the In
dianS have been decreasing, and it is
mainly due to this reason that Ne
braska is anxious to hold the next game
at Kansas City. If the two teams meet
next year, it probably will be on a
Kansas City gridiron.
The board considers that the main
cause for the unusual slump in re-
ceiptS is that no game was held with
Minnesota In 1902 the receipts from
that game alone amounted to s., 4S0, al
though it was played on Minnesota
grounds. Minnesota has promised Ne
braska that they will play the Corn
huskers in case no game between Chi
cagO and the GOpherS is scheduled and
at present the Nebraska manager Is
holding almost every date open for the
convenience of the nOrthernerS.

The bridge furnished the only means
of direct travel between Argentine and

cepting to go by rail over the Santa F'e

AN INDIAN OBSERVATORY.
Steps Cut in Hollow Cottonwood on
the Solomon River.

A dead cottonwood tree, three and
a half feet in diameter was recently
cut down on the Neal farm by Joe
DePoy, and cut into lengths for fire
wood, when split disclosed steps made
with Ratchet nearly fifty years ago.
The tree has been dead five years, and
there were forty circles or layers COW
ering the steps that were cut about
sixteen or eighteen inches apart. A
section of the tree is at his office, show
ing two steps. Other sections show
one step in each, but this piece hap
pened to be cut in a length to include
two notches. The tree was probably
used for an observation tower by In
dams fifty years ago. The distance
from the ground to the first branches
was fifteen feet, and the notches were
also observed on the main branch
above the crotch. The tree stood near
the bank of the Solomon river and
south of Waconda Spring, which is
said to have been a great gathering
place for Indians as recent as forty
years ago.-Cawker City Public Rec
