railroad, will be in Norfolk in about a
week to look over the local situation.
Mr.. Yuille is in Chicago at this time

Before leaving Yankton Mr., Yuille
explained that Yankton was situated

penditure necessary for the erection
of the big river bridge, that to the
west there was as yet nothing to war

there was too much competition. The
same conditions apply to the territory
through which the proposed road
passes.

Ask for the Hadar Suspects.

Sheriff Dwyer and County Attorney
Stewart of Pierce county were in Lin
coin yeste, day afternoon to secure
requistion papers for the men charged
with the bank robbery and held in
Sioux City. with their requisiton
papers they go to Des Moines with
the expectation of having the papers
honored by the Iowa governor today,
With the requisition papers it will not
be necessary to hold the preliminary
hearing set in Sioux City for Saturday.
II will be remembered that il was
because he was too particular about
getting a sharp pointed butcher knife
i'm Norfolk. that one of the Hadar
bank robbers is much nearer coming
TO Justice than he might otherwise
have been. The mans insistance
made an impression on Il. S. South,
at that time with Coleman & South,
so that Mr.. South is now in posi-
ton to add some needed links to the
evidence which is expected to convict
one or more of the Hadar bank rob-
bers.
II is the alleged bank robber known
as Morrison whom Mr., South identi-
fes. This is the man whose picture
was at once identified by John Fetter
as a man he had seen at the Norfolk
NJ. g. O. depot the morning after the
robbery Mr.. South also picked the
picture out of a group of photographs.
The young lady who is cashier Of the
Hadar bank Identifies Morrison as the
man who bought the 81 draft before
the robbery. julius Kuhl, a farmer
pear Hadar, adds his Identification.
The knife was used in forcing the
lock to the bank door and was left
behind by the robber or robbers
When the man, who is believed to
be Morrison, was showed an assort-
ment of butcher knives by Mr.. South,
he at once selected one with the
sharpest point. He complained, how
ever, that the point was not sharp
enough. It was a knife which the
firm was closing out and Mr.. South
offered it to the man at fifty cents,
dropping ten cents from the price.
This also made an impression on his
mind and identified the purchase at
once on the sale books.
The purchase Of the knife was in
vestigated here by Detective Searles
of Omaha and Lincoln, who was
brought here by Secretary Hughes of
the state bankers association. Searles,
it is said here deserves the credit Of
running Morrison 20 earth and con-

Rob Finkhouse Cigar Store.

The Norfolk avenue cigar store of
A. w. Finkhouse, formerly conducted
Ly Henry Haase, was broken into
Thursday night, shortly before mid
night, the robber, or robbers, getting
off with a small haul without being
molested. From the cash register 50
in change was secured. This was all
the money in the store at the time.
A handful of five cent chips was also
gathered up, along with five or six
boxes of five cent cigars.
Entrance was effected through the
back of the store. An effort had been
made to cut the putty from the win
dow, but the glass not yielding the
window was broken in. 1t is believed
that by reaching in the window the
door was unlatched The door this
morning was found locked from the
inside The money drawer was left
open.
Fred THEM of the New Merchants
cafe heard the sound of falling glass
about 1880. He thought nothing of 1t

BaIloweg Funeral at Atkinson.

Atkinson, Neb, Feb. 20.-SpeciaI to
The News; w. II. Allen of Newport
was in Atkinson Friday looking after
his building on the west corner of
State and Main streets. The building
is being remodeled so that the south
half will be used for hardware and
the north half for a general merchan-
disc store.
w. P. O'Brien and j. j. Stilson have
bought out the real estate business
lately owned by A. o. Perry and will
continue the business in the same

The body of Ferdinand Balloweg,
which was shipped from Creighton to
Atkinson Thursday afternoon, was
buried from ST. JOseph's Catholic
church Friday at 10 o'clock, by the
Rev. Father LoecheT.
The body was brought to the home
of George Balloweg, son of the de-
ceased Mrs Miles of WinnetoOn and
Mrs. Herman Galloon of Harrington,
two daughters, attended the funeral.
The G. \. K. of Atkinson, besides
several old soldiers from Stuart, as
well as many sympathizing friends,
were in attendance.
Mr.. Balloweg was on his way form
Creighton and expected to stop at
Winnetoon and Harrington to visit his
daughters. As the train came into
the station a little ahead of time Mr.
Balloweg had to run to catch the
train, He was afflicted with heart
trouble and no doubt the running was
the cause of his death.
After getting into seat in the car
he rested his arms and head on the
back of the seat in front of him. Peo

This Yankton Southern Move.

The secretary of states office at
Lincoln is authority for the statement
that there are signs of activity in
Yankton Southern railroad circles and
that |. +. Doty, president of the Cen
tral National bank of David City, has
written to the secretary to ask what
it would cost to increase the capital
stock of the Yankton Southern, which
is incorporated in Nebraska, from
100000 to $55,OOO,OOO. To Mr.. Doty,
Secretary of State Junkin has broken
the news as gently as possible that it

The Two Yankton Roads.

The TWO Yankton Roads.
If the secretary of state has been
quoted correctly in the dispatch from
Lincoln, the new railroad rumors are
of additional interest because the
name of the projected "Yankton South
erm railroad" is used. The YanktOn
Southern, it is to be remembered, is
the road which Fremont Hill has agi-
tated and when has claimed to have
new line surveyed and the right-Of-
way purchased from YanktOn to Nor
folk and south to Wichita. The Yank-
ton, Norfolk and Southern, which it is
announced is about to build out of
Yankton, represents the old Yankton
road of many years ago, comes to Nor
folk on the old grade and goes good
many miles to one side of Wichita
according to announcements.
A StinweI Move?
From LINCOLN at the same time
comes a statement from railroad cir
cles, as expressed in Lincoln papers,
that there have been rumors that the
Yankton Southern is a proposed part
of the Orient road which Stillwell is
building out of Kansas City to the
Pacific through Mexico. The course
of these rumOrs has not been located.
The Kansas City, Mexico & Orient,
with which gossip connects the Yank-
ton Southern. is the line now being
constructed by A. e. Sullwell from
Kansas City to Topolobampo in
Mexico About 1900 miles of this
road is now constructed, about SOC
being in operation in one stretch be,
tween Wichita and point in northern
Texas. The northern terminus of this
road, so far as Stillwell himself has
discussed the matter, is to be at Kan
sas City.
Just how much of this Lincoln gos
sip represents confusion in names be
tween the Yankton Southern and the
Yankton, Norfolk and Southern and
how much forecasts possible rivalry
between two interests seeking al out
let to the gulf through this territory
is not known in Norfolk. This much
is known here, that Fremont Hill anC
his friends were supposed to be OF
the verge of floating bonds in the east
and in Europe for their line when the
men who have secured control of the
old Graham interests suddenly ap
peared in the center of the stage a

On the evening of June 3rd next the
moon will go into eclipse and will be
visible in this part of the country. On
June 18th, shortly before sunset, old
Sol will hide his face for a few sec

is said that the Lruar eclipse will be
the same as thai which saved the
lives of Columbus and his men on the
isle of Jamaica. They had landed
there and the natives would not give
them anything to eat. and were about
to make them prisoners, when Colum-

would show his displeasure by TAX

shortly after when the moon began to
darken the indians rushed to then
