John Randall and wife, who were ar
rested in Morrison Friday of last week
for stealing couple of burros from a
man up Platte canon, are known to the
residents of this city where they resided
during last spring and summer. The
family was in destitute circumstances
while here, the father failing to provide
for his wife and little boy, Earl. He
was addicted to the cocaine habit and
when not using that drug resorted to
the use of spirituous liquors, and be-
tween the two was kept in pleasant
dreams most of the time. Randall was
supposed to be printer besides work.
er at several other trades, and was en-
ployed short time in the local news
paper offices. He managed to induce
some of the business men to extend him
sufficient credit to enable him to start
laundry in the Bacharach building on
Lawrence street. This enterprise he
conducted but short time, the venture
proving failure due to his inattention
to business. He left here with his fam
lily very Unexpectedly between suns two
months ago, leaving numerous creditors
to regret his hasty and unceremonious
departure. The family went from here
to the Platte canon section.

Curse Of IndeeIsIon.

The man who is always asking ad.
vice from everybody never takes it
from anybody. He is much too weak
minded even to make up his mind as
to which advice suits his mind the

OF indecision which the earnestly ex-
pressed opinions Of his friends and ac-

A sailor in the U. S. navy has been in
the city the past week rustling recruits
for Uncle Sans fighting vessels. 1t is
becoming more difficult each year for
the government to procure enough men

doubtless to the paltry wages paid for
this class of work. The young men
must be able bodied and in the best of
health before they are accepted, and
