So they unlocked the capstan head. He

And on a paper he had scrawled: "oh.

For Elmer there's no port watch now. no

RAILROAD DEPRAVITY.

Few details necessary TO complete pub

the Burlington railroad In the burning at
Belfast. Greeley county, Nebraska, OF two
carloads of documents alleged TO be OF an
discriminating nature. bearing on the sub
ject OF rebates. No invitations were sent
to the leading citizens.
Posters were not stuck up throughout
the state bearing red-letter notice OF the
ceremony. Representatives OF the press
were not summoned. and there was no
brass band to add TO the interest OF the
occasion. But apparently little was left
undone to inform the authorities OF the
bold proceedings.
Attorney General Brown has ordered
the county attorney to spare no money
nor effort to investigate the facts about
the bonfire. with the object of Furnishing
the Burlington officers for the fragrant
defiance of the law they have been repeat
edly convicted OF violating.
The incident throws no new light on
the depravity OF rebaters. but II suggests
that the crime sought TO be concealed Is
essentially OF a coarse and vulgar nature.
AS 1t takes no high degree OF intellectual
ity to conceive and execute the crude pur-
pose OF giving one shipper an advantage
over another on the public highways so
fine qualities OF imagination will avail to
escape punishment. The burning OF the
Burlington's books reminds us of the
homicide setting fire to a house in order
TO conceal the murder he has committed.
