Owing to the bad weather the
crowd was rather small at the
Pennecard sale Wednesday and
the sale was postponed until
Tuesday, March 9th. Mr.. PEN
necard has large amount of
property to dispose of and should
realize a nice sum of money from
the sale unless the weather pre-
vents the people from attending.

Ellsworth Lamb Hurt.

In runaway mix-up at his farm
north of town last Friday Ellsworth
Lamb was thrown from the sled on
which he was hauling hay and
suffered some severe cuts on his
head. One cut on the back of his
head was about two inches long
and laid the skull bare while an
other cut severed his right ear
directly in the center. DR.. Shin
nick was called to dress the wounds
and found it necessary to take ten
stitches to dress the injuries prop
erly. Mr.. Lamb will soon be
around again as his injuries were
not of serious nature.

Train BIockaded by Snow.

The passenger train got stuck in
a snow drift near Grangeville Sun
day night and did not get through
to that place until nearly noon
Monday. In the meantime the
heavy fall of snow and the strong
wind filled all of the cuts again and
a crew of shovelers had to be sent
out from Lewiston on a special
work train to clear the line for
traffic. This train did not reach
this place until late Monday after
noon but succeeded in clearing the
track so that the passenger could
go out again on schedule time
Tuesday morning. 1t made the
round trip that day but a snow
storm that night, accompanied by
a heavy wind, again filed the cuts
with snow and it could not get
through the next day. Softer
weather prevailed Wednesday,
which packed the snow and made
it necessary to shovel the track
clear wherever any drifts occurred.
The work crew on the upper end
of the line was kept busy and an
other train was sent out from Lew
iston with the result that the track
was cleared again for traffic late
yesterday afternoon and the train
went out again on regular time this
morning. With soft weather pre-
vailing it is doubtful if any further
trouble from snow blockades will
be encountered on the line this
year.

he engaged the services OF a little boy OF

The Assyrian folk are hard to convince
that the many questions or the young
enumerators has no Interior significance,
and in some OF the foreign colonies the
count takers nave been put TO rout.

ROAD PLAYS TAG WITH CITY
Burlington Evades Mandamus by Be-
ing Railroad, Not Railway.
NO SERVICE, SAYS HOLDREGE
Affidavit of General Manager that
Defendant Corporation Named in
ViHduct Suit il Not I'm
Existence.

Once more has confusion over the name OF
the Burlington been seized upon as a de-
Tense In court by that line. Before Judge
sutton Friday attorneys for the road sub
united an affidavit by George w, Holdrege,
general manager, that the Chicago, Burling-
ton & quincy railway is not an existent
corporation in Nebraska, owns no property
here and has no officers in this Jurisdiction.
The question came up on the suit of the
city of Omaha for q writ Of mandamus
compelling the construction of a viaduct at
Thirtieth and Bancroft streets. The Bur
llngton is making a special appearance,
arguing that the court has no Jurisdiction
because the Official corporation here has not
been served.
1t is the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad-not ~railway-which is the COM
AMY upon which service should have been
obtained, say attorneys for the road The
railway company is an Iowa corpora
ton organized TO act as lessee when the
Northern Securities company was in ex-
istence. When the supreme court dissolved
that merger, operation of the Burlington
lines went back into the legal control Of
tho railroad" company.
The railroad company has secured the
dismissal Of damage suits thus improperly

the matter can undoubtedly be remedied

When the special appearance matter came
up before Judge Sutton, Assistant City At

showing and was given until Tuesday.
Other roads named as defendants in the
viaduct mandamus suit have not as yet
indicated line OF defense they will

Some people have a religious feeling
against nuptials on the sixth day Of the

Mr.. Furay has been engaged in a little
chronological research into recent marital

nishing the greatest number OF brides and
bridegrooms. Italians will come in a close
second, with all others away back in the

get married largely for the sake of the trip
