Sidney will be the distributing sta tion for "The Waterloo Boy" com pany as well as a retail station, and in addition retail business will be maintained at Chappell and Kimball. In addition to retail and transfer work, all repairs will be kept in stock that delays of shipment may never retard the work of the imple ments handled. Noble M. Anderson, president, and J. I. O'Neill, manager, of Gothenburg, will take up their residence at once in Sidney and will take up their residence at once in Sidney and will find temporary quarters until weather permits them to erect suitable buildings. J. W. Goodale of Hastings, is vice-president of the concern and J. I. Scofleld, of Wayne, Nebr., is the secretary. OPPOSITION TO hi:d IfcOSS Hooker County Tribune: Now and then a sprig of opposi tion to the purpose and needs of the Bed Cross has found its way to our ear, and Just as often we have won dered if time has ever been when mortal man was born into the light of day without a partical of feeling for his less fortunate fellow crea tures. When it is well understood that the work of the Red Cross is national in its scope and has no other object than that of relieving suffering humanity, wonderment deepest at the refusal of some sturdy healthy being to donate a few- pennies thtit perhaps would be spent to lessen the suffering of some poor mortal, the mind lapses into space where wriggling creatures without heart or soul abound. over. PROP. FINDLEY GOBS TO WAR Bushville Standard : Professor Findley resigned his po sition in the Rushville public schools and left Saturday night for Omaha. He was an excellent professor and everyone of his pupils liked and re spected him. When they learned that he was going to leave they felt bad over It and the seniors and sophomores presented him with a fine shaving outfit. The Juniors gave him a set of military brushes and the freshmen bought and presented him with n fine ring. Professor Findley was a hard worker and took deep interest in his work. We be lieve every person in Rushville re grets that necessity caused him to resign his position in our schools. s I I 44 The This is a of life ai to finishJ specially ge Flay full from start te parts are ell adapted to the local talent.

E. Klemke and daugh ter. Bttld, the two girls walking ahead of Mr. and Mrs. Klemke un til the family had reached the cor ner where they turned east to go to their home. They inquired if Miss tlross was afraid to go on across the ditch to her home, but were assured by her that she was not. They then lert her and she hud gone but a short distance when she discovered a man (?) following her. She at once started to run and was caught up with about a hundred feet this side of her own home. As the man etarted to grab her, she screamed and her assailant immediately placed his hand over her mouth and at tempted to pick her up. She sank down und was able to tear the man's hand away and emit another scream which attracted her mother who came out on the porch and turned on the light. The miscreant, seeing that he was discovered, dropped his prey and started south towards town. Theauthorities were promptly noti fle(fand the blood hounds were sent fdf from Scotts Bluff county and ar- ived on the scene about 6:30 in the morning and were placed on the trail. They followed the trail to Flower's store and there appeared to lose the scent. They were taken back and followed their former course, stopping almost at the exact place where they were before. It is thought that the perpetrator of the crime must have gone back to town as quickly as possible and again sin gled with the large crowd that is al ways on the street Saturday night. The men were held pending investi gation and Mrs. Gross had a very good look at the man as he came between her and a street light. It was impossible, however, to prove anything at this time. Aside from being terribly frightened and having her nose struck violently enough to make it bleed, Miss Gross, we are Indeed glad to say, got off without further injury. One thing is certain, that the fiend who wonld do such a thing will meet up with the hardest kind of luck if caught, which is very liable to happen.
