OLD NIOBRARA DAYS. “T presume,” said the B man ‘‘that you have seen some rather ticklish times out here, haven't you®" “Yes, as I said,” that brought back to my mind the old times we used to have in this part of the state. But let me tell you, I never saw a town in all my tra that could hold a candle to old Fort Nio- , along from 1868 to about 1830. e was more cold blooded shooting than L ever saw anywhere. Isaw a saloon keeper boost a drunken man into the street one day there, and when the fellow lay down in the middle of the street the saloon keeper stood in the door of his saloon and beg: shooting at him. Some one said, ‘You will kill that man yet," and the saloon keeper said, , d—n him he will never get up again,’ and with that he shot him Fight through the neck and killed him.’ “Did the ¢ ns hang the saloonist?” “Hang him!” Naw! Never said any- thing about it. But let me tell you of THE WILDEST NIGHT w, to be attended by no loss of life. Itw in the winter of 78, I think. There was Joe Smith and Karl Witty, Limber Jim and Bill Curley, Kid Wade and Donald MceMillan and some more who were ready for anything, matter how much danger the was attached to it These fel- lows all hovered about Fort Niobrara and it was shoot, shoot, from daylight morning until midnight every Then there were scores of cow- ys, who would gallop their drinks. Thav waoald the saloon kept by old man TowTe, take their whisky, shoot a hole through the roof, and Well, one day a commereial tourist came up there on the stage with his sample gvips full of cig; and whigky. The boys got wind of him as soon as he_struck the town, and they vut up awhole night’s circus for kis es- pecial benefit. They deliberately took 1 of his sample enses, took out THE WHISKY AND CIGARS and pass.d them around. He was left without ns much as a smell of a sample. The hotel was in the same building with Towle's saloon and was run by him. The boys, in n very careless and inditferent told the drimmor, after his samples weré all gone, that there was going to be a “‘border fight'” there that night and it would pay him to stay and take it in. They expected the fight to take place soon after supper, they said, as the two duelists were_in’town and would surely meet in the saloon pretty earlyin the eve- ning. and as they had sworn fo kill each other on sight, a real picnic was expect- ed. The traveling man began to grow WHITE AROUND THE GILLS, but as supper was announ down with four othe a large table. think that Kid Wade, Bill Curley, Limber Jim and myself were the four ‘who sat down to supper with the traveling man When wi about half through cating the butter gave out, and Kid Wade called for more. The old lady (shc usually waited on the table), was slow about get- ting around,and Wade drew his revol and shot the buttes h off the table. The bullet smashed the dish to splinters, and glaneieg upward went through the shingles, and lefta hole that may be scen there yet, and is called “‘the butter-dish hole.” The drummer was almost scared out of his chair, but a roar of laughter went up from the boys and we continued to eat. Pretty soon Kid Wade called for more coffee. ~ While he was in the act of taking sugar from the howl, Limber Jim PULLED HIS GUN and shot the sugar bowl all to pieces, seattering the sugar and bits of the bowl over the room, e traveling man and myself left the table; we begged to be ex- cused. Just at that moment, in came a cowboy named Johnson, one of the fel- lows who was to fight the duel. FKarl Witty, the other duelsrt, raised up from hehind the bar with a great big double- rrelled horse-pistol, and the fight be- n, Witty fir and ran, with Johnson after him, yelling that he would shoot him full of holes.” Out they ran, through the en and around the house, and the traveling man ran up staivs and shut himself in a room, and we could not get him to come out till we promised to fur nish him with a fast team to get him out of town, He left in the night,and I Zuess never went back to the fort to sell goods.” e — Held to the Grand Jury, The examination of Strump, Cornblatt and Rosenblood, the three pawnbrokers arrested for receiving stolen goods from Charles Tracy, the burglar, was held Suturday afternoon in police court, The I ever .xoom was crowded with interested spee tators, who watched the developments closely.

Standard Oattle Company's Projected Feeding Ranch, Col. A. T. Babbitt and Mr. Richard Allen, respectively general manager and assistant manager of the Standard Cattle company, were in the city yesterday. They are here to conclude all prelimin. aries for the construction of the new feeding barns which are soon to be erected at Ames, N “T want you Yo understand,” said Mr. Allen in conversation with a veporter for the 1 terday, “that we don't claim that our feeding establishment is to be the largest in the state—on a bigger seale than that at Gilmore. The Herald cor- respondent in yesterday's issue st hat the plant would discount the Gilmore ,ete. As a matter of fact it smaller, and we don't want to be retood as making any such boasts.” Standard Cattle company is com- osed of Boston capitalists, Its ranche has recently been located at Ames, seven s west of Fremont, on the Union Pacific, and near the Lincoln extension of the Chieago & Northwestern, com prising one and_a half miles of river front, and some 5,000 acres of first class . ineiuding thirteen improved I extensive groves, buildings, nees, ete. This is one of the tions for such a feeding ranch in Col. Babbitt and klr. Allen visited in “person sont nerts to all the exten jouses far and near that 3 might know definitely the best plan of building and _manner of feeding. T compa will begin_ at once to ercct the buildings—the feediug barn, elevator and eribs, meal houses, oflice, ing houses, and residence for the lo man ager. The plans and specifications for all these have been drawn by Mendelssohn & Fisher, of this city, and theirconstruction will require between one and a half and two millions feet of lumber. The main feeding barn will have 3,000 stalls, where each steer stands alone, free and untied. This will be one of the finest and most complete building of the kind in the United States. One of the buildings is to be 632 feet long by 204 feet wide, The elevator will be a 40,000 bushel capacity, with cribs attached to hold 80,000 bushels of ear corn. The works, mill and elevator will be run by a 60 horse power engine, with two 40-horse power boil The residence will be complete in eve respect, heated throughout with stoaim or hot other buildings and improvemen be in harmony with those already men- tioned. Cost of the enti plant will be about $75,000. The buildings will be built by contractors. Son & Co., will build the clevator and eribs, with the engine house.

A Company Formed to Raise and Can Tomatoes by the Million. “Gigantic business schemes are the orderof the da, remarked a prominent business man. “The latest is certainly worthy of note, and it successful will be a great benefit to the city and surrounding country. Seyeral gentlemen have asso- ciated themselyes together and have been negotiating with the South Omaha Land Syndicate for the lease of eighty acres of land on which they propose to build a cannery and raise large quan- tities “of tomatoes. At ‘present I am not at libert; to mention names until it is definitely settled whether the scheme is carried out. Such an es- tablishment would give employment to a large number of men, and would be a benefit to the city i 3 it would be a direct benefit to the mers and gardencrs, as it would create demand and furnish a ready market for small fruits and tomatoes,” “Would there be a market for the out- put of so large a cannery? Most assuredly,” contined the * speaker. “Why, Paxton & Gallagher slone han- dle 12,000 cases of tomatoes in the course of the year, It may be of interest to know that the ~ tomato pack has largely increased during the past fow years, In 1850 the tomato pack of the United States amounted to 1,583,150 cases of three pound cans, two dozen in a case. In 1883 it reached the sum of 2,943,579 cases, but in 1885 the arly frost cut short the pack, which only reached 1,434,006 The large oui- put of the d the eficet’of re- ducing pr imulated the con ack of 1885 is putting prices up, and it is feared that the market will be entirely bare before the new pack comes in.
