A war- rant has also been issued for Ed David. For months the cattlemen, ranging north of the river in Scott's Bluff and Sionx count have been losing choice bunches of steers in Just about carload lots, among the victims being the heavy owners, Nichols Bros., Wallace Merchant, W. H. Walker, Ch: Hraska and others. A still hunt has b going on, which has spotted the under arrest, who made their headquarters in the extensive sundhills south of Alliance, in northern Cheyenne county. Cattle can be run into these hills and driven for hundreds of miles without being seen, by keeping to the valleys between the hills, This is the same section of country which became celebrated during the famous Kingen afMair of several years ago, and while ent depredations are not of the same r, the results are much more bur- densome to the owners, who ave simply pr vate ra instead of, us in the former case, big cattle companies. The presumption is that the stolen stock is driven into these hills and in an indirect way to Alliance or some other station of the B. & M., and sold to butchers or shipped to Omaha.

Some of the owners of property on South xteenth street express dissatisfaction over the rejection of the report of the award of damages by the appraisers for the opening and extending of Sixteenth streat from Vin- ton to tho city limits. The appraisers’ report was submitted to the council and referred to the committee on streots, alleys and boulevards. Tuesday ovening the committee made its report with the recommexndation that the award of the appraisers bo rejected and that a new board bo named. The report was made by Mr. Howell and signed by the other members. No rveason was given in tho report of the committee as to why the appraisers’ report should be rejected and no questions wer asked by the councilmen who voted to ap- prove of the recommedation of the commit- tee. This caused rumors to bo ci the report was rejected because ers had not awar: ulated that James Stockdale and John F. Flack, allowed to the street damages to the amount of $2,500 for a_strip of land 60x000 feet that was to be appropri- ated. The lot adjoining on the south has a strip appropriated 665220 feot, and the dam- ages awarded amounted to only §00. Tho appraisers contend that the street railway compauy was getting the best of 1t by several per cont and refused to increase the award. They also claim that allof the property owners were satisfied with the awards mado. Chairman Howell and Mr. Elsasser of the committec on strects, alleys and boulevards, that mado tho adverse report, wore asked 8 %0 the cause of the rejection of the ap- prawers’ roport. Both replied that the award as made to the street rallwiy com- pany was entirely too low and unjust. It was for that reason the gentlomen said that they recommended the refection of the ro- port. They say that the company should re- ceive for the property appropriated an equitable and just sum and that several of the property owners down there had stated that the award to the company was entirely 100 low. ——— KILLED BY A SHOCK. They railway company Sad Case of a Sick Child Who Was Fright- ened at a Criticsl Timeo, Building Inspector Tilly was called to Thirty-fourth and Joues streets yesterday morning to make an ofticlal nspection of a dwelling 1n a state of almost total collapse, The occubant of the house is Mrs. George MeDonald and she relates a very sad story. Friday of last week a neighboring lady was nursing a sick little child of Mrs. McDonald, when suddenly, and almost without warning, the floor gave away and weut down a dis- tance of one foot. The shock caused to the oceupants of the houso was very severe and 1 & fow bours afterwards the ehild died. In addition toithe floor giving away the parti- tion running through the house bulged ana 15 ready to collapse atany moment. The chimney also saggod and is In 4 daugorous condition Colonel Tilly fouud that the con- dition of the house renders it uninhabitable and 1ts occupancy dungerous. He will put the agent on the carpot and cause an im- mediste repair of the house to bo made or else it will come down uuder offcial super- vision. Mrs. McDonald has resided in the house for & number of months aad she has paid & wonthly rental of $4. This rent money she says has always promptly been paid and no trouble on tha score has been caused, However, when the last rent day rolied around, owing to the illness and teath of the baby, she was unable to meet the obliga- tion and asked for a few days time. Toe agent was arbitrary and demanded the pay- ment of the rent or an immediate vacation of the premises. He departed and u fow bours later the lady was served with & cquest, This action of tho agent falls rather hard on the lady. who says she has a_garden on the promises that sho can illy afford to lose. Colonel Tilly will ascertain from the agont why he is leasing for occupancy an un- inhabitablo dwelling, and why he is 80 arbi- trary in forcing the' collection of rent for such a place.
