More Safe Cracking.
The peaceable citizens of Nebraska,
this counly, were considerabry star
tled yesterday morning on learning
that dur'mg the night the place bad
been visited by burglars and a daring
robbery committed. County Com
missioner's Ledebur's safe, which oc
cupies a place in the grist mill, was
the victim. The burglars entered the
mill by way of one of the windows,
and, to mate a long story short, bored
a hole in the safe door, injected the
explosive substance and banged away.
The door was blown ofT completely,
bursting the hinges and just about
ruining the safe. They secured between
$200 and $300 in money, which was
perhaps considered a very fair haul by
the thieves. Some notes and papers
to the amount of $700 or $800, to
gether with Mr. Ledebur's books were
deposited in the safe, but other than
being somewhat mussed and scattered
about, they were not disturbed. The
only clue that could be detected was
Lsome horse tracks near the mill, where
a couple of horses had been standing
for some little time, evidently. A
carpenter who was working late in a
shop near the mill aw a man riding
by about 12 o'clock, on one horso and
leading another. This is a clue, which,
if it could be traced up, would doubt
less lead to the capture of the devils.
Some tools from a neighboring
blacksmith shop were found in the
mill, among which was a tin torch.
There was considerable oil spilt about
the safe, and just what was used to ex
plode the safe is not clear in the minds
of those who viewed the debris next
morning. It is also the opinion of the
people that the burglars were profess
ionals, and that they were not over an
hour and a half in completing the job.
Mr. Ledebur's loss, counting the dam
age to the safe will be nearly four

Oil Notes.
If we except the well on the Cooper
tract, Howe township, which is just
now puzzling the operators and produ
cers, and is, io fact, the most import
ant venture of the whole oil region at
the present, we have nothing of im
portance concerning dovelopements to
record this week.
Drilling at the wells reported last
week, that is Cornwell's at Root &
Watson's mills, and the Balltown, is
progressing steadily. Grove, Hart &
Co. expect to start the drill again on
their Beaver Valley well this week or
early next week. Of the Whig Hill
well we have heard nothing definite,
but understand they have ' tho rig
about completed, and expect to com
mence drilling in a few days. But, as
we said before
THE COOPER TRACT
is the all-absorbing topic among oil
operators now, and the. majority are of
opinion it will be tho next jumbo dis
trict. The Derrick of yesterday morn
ing says : "A gentleman of experience
in the oil business visited the Shannon
well on the Cooper tract Sunday, and
in conversation with the Derrick re
potter to-day, made the following
statements, which can be relied upon :
The well is carefully guarded by a
body of men ; four being on guard all
the time. One 250 barrel tank ia op
and connections made to it from tho
well. Workmen were putting up an
other tauk, supposed to be of 1,200
barrel capacity, and materials fur
other tanks were on the greand. ltf
was impossible to get near the well,
but oil could be seen en the little
stream which flowed through the ra
vine past the derrick, and also a show
of oil about the rig. The guards are
not communicative, and the only sat
isfaction in visiting" the place is to
look at tho derrick from a distance
and have the guards order the intru
der to keep away."
And the Era of last Satnrday says :
"The- Shannon well en the Cooper
tract, down in Forest couaty, still at
tracts the attention of land specula
tors and prominest buyers jof tho
oil country. The stream which courses
down the bluff past the well is heavily
loaded with oil: One man of good
judgment estimates that fifty barrels
per diem is carried over tho stream
during twenty-four hours. No oae ia
admitted to the ground, however,
and the opinions of the most practical
men differ widely as to the probable
future of this well. Prospectors and
pioneers of new fields are nglectii)g
Cherry Grove and are devoting their
energies to the securing of lauds in
Forest county."
Almost within a stone's throw of
this well Lucius Rogers and Mrs. J.
B. Agnew own 000 acres, 200 of which
they recently sold for $o0 per acre,
and have had an offer of $150 per
acre for the remaining 4D0 acres. This
would indicate that somebody has
great faith io the territory, and has
some knowledge of the new strike. A
short time will tell the tale.
It is astonishing how many peoplo
hawk up and spit out Catarrhal cor

of it, Peruna cures it.
