Mayor Burke's mission

Mayor Burke's mission to
Omaha during the winter has re-
suited in much benefit to jules
burg. He laid before the Union
Pacific officials the proposition
of our power house system and
what it was ready to do, in that
the water supply for engines,
the heating of the depot and
lighting by electric light at the
depot would be cheaper than
what is being paid in their own
operation. Monday evening the
formal contract was signed by
the board OF councilmen.
The electric light, including
three arc lights, is to be paid for
at the same rate as other pat.
rons, the heating plant receives
the same, and the water supply.
is to be regulated by meter. It
will aggregate over $1,000 per
year. This will do away with
two extra men at the depot,
since the city will take care of
all three plants. Some details
as to extensions of wires and
pipes are yet to be determined. 4
Already Julesburg is the envy.
of all towns in this vicinity as to
it's well equipped power plant,
and strangers who view US from
the depot have only eXclamationS
of admiration to offer as they
see us by day and by night-at
night every porch in town light
ed and arc and incandcscent
lights on nearly every corner.
1t is very pleasing to US all that
the Union Pacific has manifested
this spirit toward Julesburg,
and it is beyond question that a
reciprocal attitude will be re-
turned on the part of our peo-
Dle.

Last Sunday just after noon a
very sad accident occurred, in
which Ray Pidgeon lost his life.
His parents had sent him on an
errand to j. II. Roudebush 8,
and while riding in a gallop
across the wide bottom of the
Walrath draw. near Thomas
Bells place, his pony suddenly
shied from badger hole, throw
ing the boy out of balance and
sending his right foot through
the stirrup. The pony made a
few short circles in an effort to
get away from the hanging body
at his side, then started toward
Mr.. Bells place, dragging Ray.
but had not gone more than 200
yards when the boys foot Slip
ped from the stirrup and he fell
by the road. The Bells hurried
to him but life was almost ex-
Gnct and he did not regain con
seriousness. John Bell immedi-
ately notified the parents. The
body was taken home and Dr..
Rook of Julesburg was called
and found that the neck was dis
located at the base of the brain
1t was thought by those who
saw the ground where the acci-
dent occurred, and the body, that
Ray was killed at the time the
pony SHE'D, and was not con
scious while being dragged.
The fact that his hands were not
scratched or bruised. and that
his face, breast and back were
bruised, would indicate that he
was making no effort to protect
his face and head with his hands
and arms while being dragged.
Ray Arthur was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. W. Pidgeon and
was born on the Pidgeon home
stead, northeast of Julesburg, in
Deuel. county, Nebraska, October
lS, 1898, and died March Is,
1908. He leaves to mourn his
death, father and mother, four
brothers, one sister, three grand
parents and many others.
On Tuesday afternoon, March
II, the little body was followed
to it's last resting place in the
Julesburg cemetery by sorrow
ing relatives, teacher and school.
mates, and many kind neighbors,
Rev. G. G. Giller conducting the
services.
The bereaved parents extend
their heartfelt thanks to those
who so kindly assisted in the
last sad rites.
