She handed her husband her diamond ring to keep until she finished and he laid it on the- window ledge. Tho ring wa3 forgotten until after they entered the dining room, and when Mr. Atchison went for it found it gone. Search wus immediate ly instituted by Mr. and Mrs. Atchi son, Mrs. Sitton, Vera and others, but tho ring could not bo found, Preparations had been made to have persons searched, when about ten o'clock Miss Sitton concluded to make final search, during which she found the ring on the top of the partition in the wash room, to reach which it was necessary for her to stand on a chair.

Takes Shot at Lowell. A midnight prowler took & shot at Chief of Police Lowell Wednesday night, but luckily a serious wound and perhaps his lifo was saved by a mem orandum book and a bunch of papors in the outsido pocket of his corduroy coat. Lowell had an intimation that a crap gamo was in progress In the west end of town and started out to investigate. Ho was not successful, and upon re turning homo ho noticed two men standing in the rear of the Ray Lang ford residence. He walked past and keeping an oyo on them saw ono walk around to tho wc3t sido o tho house while the other apparently stood guard. Lowell walked south to Fifth and thence west a block and eamo in on tho west side of the house, and turn ing a. corner confronted a man with a drawn revolver who fired almost in Lowell's face. The ball struck tho left sido penitrating the thick corduroy coat, a bunch of papers nnd a memorandum book and lodging in tho thick leather of a second book, theso papers and books being in the outsido coat pocket. After firing tho shot tho fellow dodged around the corner and reaching the alley made his escape, Lowell firing at him as ho run. When the fellow took to his heels, Lowell started in pursuit, but beoame entangled in a go-cart and lost enough time to let tho fellow get too long a lead on him. Ho later searched for him but could find no trace. In the rear of tho Langford house was found a long piece of thick steel which tho feilow no doubt intended to use as a pry to force open a door or window. During tho night tho police corralled a number of suspicious looking characters, but none proved to be the fellow wanted. i, Elks Building, North Platte Neb- Sealed proposals will be received for the erection of tho "Elk's Building" 66x66, 3 stories high, in the city of North Platte, Nebraska, according to plans and specifications thereof now on file in the office of C.
