Norfolk Lost Game to NeIiqh.

Neigh won the football game from
Norfolk on the Neigh gridiron by a
score of 2 to 0 Saturday afternoon.
The game was clean one all the way
through; there was no wrangling of
any kind 1t was a hard fought bat
tie during which Neigh exhibited
some very clever science in the foot
ball game, using with good advantage
the new rules. The pigskin was not
at any time in either teams territory
and remained close to the center of
the field most of the time. Norfolk
fought lard and the little misunder-
standing on the part of Parish cost
them their defeat by two points
The ball was in the possession of
Neigh, who held it for downs and
then punted it to near the middle Of
the field close to the Norfolk goal
line. Believing it had reached his ter
ritory Norfolk player touched it be-
fore he found his error. Then Parish
picked up the ball after it was in the
Norfolk territory. He thought also it
was touchback, but in reality 1t
counted "A safety for the Neigh team.
This gave Neigh their two points.
There was no Neigh player near Par
ish and he, laboring under the impress
sion it was a touchback, could have
run in with the pigskin had he chosen,
but wanted to get it in from the 25.
yard line.
Both teams were evenly matched,
and although Norfolk believed they
were handicapped on account of their
left tackle, Fisher, missing the train,
then found Logan, who played the
game through in Fishers place, was
equal to the job.

A Murder at Gordon.

Gordon, Neb., Oct l7.-Robert Fer
rim is dead as the result of fatal re-
volver shot fired by Charles Briley at
: o'clock Saturday evening. The muir.
der was the result of long existing
feud between Ferrin and Briley.
Ferrin was standing in front of the
First National bank building just be-
fore o'clock when Briley fired three
shots in rapid succession at him.
None of these shots took effect and.
Ferrin ran out of range. He soon
found the marshal and with him went
in search of Briley, who had gone
into the Fair store to purchase more
cartridges. The store proprietors
knew of the feud and shooting and
refused to sell the ammunition to Bri-
ley.
At this moment Ferrin entered the
store with the marshal who was
about to arrest Briley. Catching sight
of Ferrin, Briley raised his revolver
and fired the fatal shot at Ferrin. 1t
took effect in Ferrin's stomach and
lie died an hour later. Briley was ar
rested and taken to Rushville for safe
keeping.
Undertaken n. S. Gates took charge
of the body to await the arrival of
Coroner McDowells of Hay Springs.
Briley was a Kinkaid homesteader
who had been staying in Gordon and
working for the last six or eight
! months.

approached him and an alteration en-
sued in which Ferrin applied vile ep

he would fix Briley so that his friends
would not recognize him and told him
to get up and he would do it now
Briley warned him to keep away; thai
he did not want any trouble, and wher
Ferrin stepped back and assumed {

Carlson Back from Europe

After few months strenuous
study in the furtherance of knowledge
on the breeding of the horse, in
France, Belgium and other European
! countries, G.. l.. Carlson, the Norfolk
scientific horse breeder and lecturer,
returned home Sunday evening, bring
ing with him the list of every horse
which has left France in the past
twenty years. This list Mr.. Carlson
was able to get only after thorough
checking by every foreign consul in
France.
In this work Mr.. Carlson found that
the American consul system under
James ID. Millner of Lafayette, Ind,
who has been the American consul at
Calais, France, for many years, is the
best of any in that country. Mr. Carl
son highly praises Consul Millner and
| his son, the vice consul who travelled
with Mr.. Carlson in his pursuits on
the horse-breeding subject, which Mr..
Carlson says he has finished one
month earlier than he expected
Mr.. Carlson is the only man who
has the record of every horse leaving
France since April 27, 1890.

Mr.. Carlson. This is the best coun-
| try in the world. Sunday night was

| is fine town. Take that window for
instance (pointing to beautifully
decorated department store window on
Norfolk avenue which displayed the
fall and winter stock). That would
be a credit even to Paris, where they
would be very likely to get hardware
mixed in with it"
Mr.. Carlson also reports the con-
gested travel over the Atlantic ocean
caused by the exposition and the pas
sion play which brought thousands of
American tourists to Europe. Coming
back Mr.. Carlson was unable to pur-
chase a steamship ticket and it was
necessary for him to buy out" a
passengers stateroom to get home.
Many passengers were sleeping on
the decks while steerage room was at
premium. Many wealthy people find
ing it impossible to travel first or
second class, as a last resort went
home "steerage"
| Mr.. Carlson has very little praise
for the American tourist in Europe.
This kind of a traveller, who has plenty
of money and spends it, is looked up.
on as an easy mark" while an Ameri-
can in business or other pursuits is
looked upon as a curiosity.
The only drunk American | met in
France was a Nebraskan," he said
The police had found him on the
street and had put him to bed in his
hotel. Before leaving him, his money
and valuables were taken and stored
at he police station. When he came
to his normal senses the Nebraskan
yelled for help and police, declaring
ne was robbed. He was soon put or
the right track and told that his valu
ables were safe and would be restored
to m when he was in condition tc
take care of them.
