Robert Livingstone, who for about ten years has had charge of the Northern Pacific railroad yards at Goble, was robbed and terribly beat en last week.

Indications point to the approach ing, gladsome Christmas season and the business houses have not been slow in catching the spirit of the com ing festivities. This week, Christmas shopping be gan in earnest, due in a great measure to the large amount of special adver tising which the business houses do at this time of the year The local stores are offering bargains which come as valuable suggestions in solv ing the rather perplexing problem of gift-giving.«. In later years there has been a strong sentiment among people generally to give useful things instead of mere ornaments as was so popular in the past. To meet this demand, the local stores are carrying more ex tensive lines of Christmas goods than in former years, and in order to obtain a better selection, many ara doing their holiday shopping earlier usual.
