MINOR MENTION. Tim Keliher left last night tor Lincoln taking- the horse-thief 'Chas. Nolan with him to the state penitentiary. A new business enterprise is about to be established in this city, but we not yet at liberty to lay it before our readers. There will be a meeting of the choral union this evening at which important business is to be transacted.
All members are urgently request ed to be present. Dr. N. F. Donaldson is now in Chicago, where in company with his wife, he is visiting relatives.

one of the teacherssof the county, Tias If Deen engaged to teacn an eignt month term of school in one of the districts north of town. During- the past year he taught in Antelope Eli McCarl says Montgomery county, Iowa, which is probably the banner agricultural county of that state, is intending make an ex hibit at the Nebraska state fair, but he admits that he believes that the farmers up along the old irrigation canal in this county will be able to scoop them. An emigrant traveling overland to Lemhi, Utah, camped over in the Third ward yesterday afternoon claimed that his wagon had been robbed. A suit of underclothing, an unlaundried shirt and one-fourth of a pound of plug tobacco were taken. The victim was very indignant.
The latest political rumor is to the effect that Jake Miller has decided not to be a candidate for reelection this fall unless Tim Keliher will consent to again be his deputy, to which the latter will not consent as it is said he wishes to again take-a fall out of the office of clerk of the district court. One thing is certain that the sheriff has been breaking in J. B. Tridle as bailiff this term of court which would indicate that perhaps Tim is sparring for something else. We give the report for what it is worth.
Although there are numerous fellows in this community who continually assert themselves as free silver men at all times and upon all occasions, et Hon. J. Bryan spent last Friday night in a hotel in this city, and his arrival was not greeted by the notes of the Gorden cornet band, nor was he even invited to wag his jaws other than at the table of the hostelry. Truely is he a dead lion, a blasted idol, a fallen hope, and there is none so poor as to do him reverence. A poor devil of a fellow "was taken out of a refrigerator car last night by 4 'Buck" Sawyer where he had been confined for five days.
He would not give his name, but said that he was sick and delirious at the Dalles, and entered the car to lie down and rest, and the door of the ice palace was. closed upon him. At each stop of the train atter becoming conscious he endeavored to attract the attention of the train men, but was unable to do so. At the jail last night, inhere he was taken, he was very his pulse running so high as indicate his dangerous condition. 3Ie aid tne iruix in tne car was so reen as un ea-t during v'jfcis.

An Early Morninp Tire. Monday morning at a trifle past three o'clock' our citizens were aroused by the shriekings and wail-ings of the fog-horn whistle at the waterworks in concert with the hoarse bellowing, of the U.
P. sliopi whistle, from their early morning slumbers, and many of them lazily turned over upon their couches and muttered to themselves that some one must again be "monkeying" with the fire alarm system. The more energetic, however, arose and started upon a tour of investigation. This procedure developed the fact that the flames were consuming a two-story frame building upon east Front street belonging to Dan Murphy. The department quickly responded to the call, and although many of its members had left the city with the local militia company, prompt and efficient work soon subdued the blazes The origin of the fire is not known.

Xate and Hans Znndsen Arrested and Brought to This City. Information reached this city last Saturday evening of the capture of two men over near Mason City, in Custer county, who are supposed to be the identical parties who held up and robbed the Union Pacific train near Brady Island last Tuesday night. The capture was effected by ex-deputy sheriff Wm. Parsell, village marshal H. L.
Crossley, and Dr. Carlson. The fellows liad been seen by several Custer county citizens between Callaway and Broken Bow on Saturday. On reaching the Black Hills branch of the B. M.
R'y they stole a ride on a freight train from to Mason City, and were ignorainiously "fired" by the train crew. They only lingered but a brief time in Mason City and struck out walking eastward. Suspicion was directed to them and the above gentlemen started, in pursuit with the result that they came up with their quarry some five miles east of Mason City. At the time of their arrest the twain were bathing in. a pond near the roadside.
Upon being commanded to throw up their hands, the smaller one who only had his feet disrobed promptly complied with the order; but the larger oner who in the language of the sports is a "dead tough looking mug," seemed-disposed not to surrender, and started for his clothing to secure his revolver. Fortunately for him he realized that discretion was the better part of valor, and yielded ere the" officers decided to perforate his carcass. Onv their persons, were tound three revolvers, a knife, 32 in monev, some miscel laneous articles, and. two silk hand kerchiefs with holes torn in.tliemf whicjtfirtd indicate they had' been, usedifoQMpks. Tlie JflHws exhibit a low cuift mng, liicn-rmuife ac; co viction a matter of some difficulty, by reason of their not telling the-entire story in regard to heir presence in this part of the country, as they claim their home to be in Dakota1 county, this state.
They give their names as Knudsen, and are said to be Danes, and brothers. K. Knudsen is five feetseven inches in height, weighs 142 pounds, gives his age at twenty-nine years, and has his name tattooed on his left forearm. Hans Knudsen is six feet and one-fourth inch in height, states his age as twenty years, and weighs 168 pounds. Each have dark complexions and dark hair, closely cropped, and rather low foreheads, indicating- a low intellect, yet not necessarily a lack of cunning.
The suspects were about eighteen miles ahead of the following gentlemen who were gradually warming up the trail and in a short time would have been able to put the blood-hounds upon the track, although they had hitherto been of no avail: Frank White, United States marshal, W. H. Liddiard, chief deputy U. S. marshal, T.
J. Brewer, deputy sheriff, of Rouse, and U. P. R'y detectives Canada, Keith, Tobin and Vizzard. This party found a new Winchester rifle which had probably been dropped by the desperadoes in their wild flight across the country.
The latter were brought to this city upon a special train Sunday evening, and of course they attracted more attention than the three-ring pop circus of the day before, although from their attempt they also apperred to be free silver men. One persevering, perspiring individual was stationed at an upper window of the Pacific hotel armed with a kodak, and anxiously awaiting an opportunity to "press the button." But the opportunity was not afforded him to secure a "snap sljot" as the cars were switched up to the Locust street crossing and the two fellows were escorted to the county jail by a large throng of curious citizens. The Knudsen brothers were arraigned this morning before Judge Ray and their preliminary commenced. At the instance of their counsel, T. Fulton Gantt, a preliminary investigation was waived and bail was fixed at $5,000, in default of which they were remanded back to jail.
