AUTO IS TAKEN;
LATER RETURNED
Fred Warner Has Several Honrs of
Worry Over Disappearance of
Car Reappears Later.
Prom Monday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon Fred Warn
er of near Murray was in the city
driving in from the farm in his road
ster and left the machine parked in
the center of Main street just in
front of the Dunbar pool hall. Mr.
Warner was kept for some little
time and when he returned to secure
the car it was not to be found and
the owner of the machine experi-
encea some very unpleasant ma-
ments as the vision of the loss of j
short time before taking any trace
of the car and last evening it made
its reappearance in the parking
place.
It seems that the car had been
taken by two young men and driv
en to Omaha to while away a few
that some steps should be taken to
show the parties taking the car that
they cannot get away with any-
thing like this and it is very likely
that a complaint will be made in the
office of County Attorney A. G. Colej
against tne two young meu.
There has. been several of these
cases occurring of late in the city
and while none of the car owners
have made complaint they have not
felt the best about it. Some of the
persons who are on familiar terms
with the auto owners apparently
think nothing of hopping in a car
and driving around without the
formality of notifying the owner and
this is going to result in some one
getting into very serious trouble

WRONG KIND OF DUCKS
Two 0f the lovers of the sport of

with many pieces of artillery and
prepared to start out on the day's
shooting. They secured their trusty
craft, which had been anchored near
the ferrv landing and started out on
the discomfort of their friends in the
boat and thought that the loss of the
decoys was amply repaid for in the
general crestfallen appearance of the
other hunters when they discovered
the truth. It is safe to say-that in
the future these two hunters propose
to see that their targets are real

MRS E. SMITH. AN OBITUARY
From Jklonrtayp Dallv
Mrs. Ellen Smith, who passed
away at her home in the south por
tion of this city on Thursday last,
was a native of Iowa, having been
born in Lynn county; on September
16, 1S49, and was united in mar
riage in 1S71 to Mr. Robert Bruce
Smith, who with the eisrht children
of the marriage are left to mourn
the passing or tfcts good woman.
Thirty-one grandchildren and six
teen great grandchildren, as well as
her twin brother, James Knapp of
Mt. Vernon, Iowa, share the grief
that the death of this good woman
has occasioned.
The funeral services were held on
Friday afternoon from the late home
and quite largely attended by the
old friends.
The Rev. John Calvert of the
Methodist church was in charge of
the service end spoke words of com
fort to the sorrow stricken family
and io the friends who will feel
keenly the separation of their friend
and associate. During the service?
Rev. Calvert and Mr. and Mrs. E.
H. Wesoott sang two of the favor
ite hymns of the departed lady,
"Does Jesus Care" find "What a
Friend We Hate in Jesus."
NOT JIUCH DAMAGE
From Tuesdays Daily.
The usual mischief making
so generally characterizes the
that
Hal-
lowe'en season seems to have disap
peared to a greater or less extent
and very little trouble was reported
today as the result of the activities
of the youngsters last night. The old
time Hallowe'en when everything
that was loose and some things that
were not, suffered, 4-eems to have
past. In the years gone by it was
the usual sight to see buildings
turned over or moved to other loca
tions, gates torn off and fences and
sidewalks ripped up and torn down.
The concrete sidewalks and the cus
tom of doin gaway with fences has
left a crimp in this line of Hallow
e'en sport and other . modern ad
vances has left little for the young
ster to tear up anymore around the
residences of the city.
The change from the old time con
ditions is not regretted in the least
by the members of the police force
who were generally kept on the go
from evening until day break trying
to catch some of the miscreants.

Almost every district court has

THE PASSING OF
OLD LANDMARK
Walker's Ranch Will Soon Be
Memory One Time Rendez
vous of Gamblers.
Axtell. Neb., Oct. 31. Decay is
about to wipe out the last physical
evidences of Walker's ranch a site
that represented a dual personality
in the early history of Nebraska. All
that is left of one of the interesting
landmarks of the early days is a
group of aAhen gray walls that once
shielded from the plains some of the
most notorious characters of early;
Nebraska, as well as being a rendez-.
vous cf gambling and brawls that'1
are registered in the historic annuls
cf the early seventies.
There is the same old house, a
low frame affair, the same stable and
out-buildings with a wide street
running between the buildings, but
the elements have left the mark of
time that lack of a caretaker would
permit. The character of David B.
Ball, the p. esent owner, in one way
or another connected with the place
since it first served as a terminal
point fcr ,lbe mail service between
the Platte and Republican rivers, is
woven in the history of Walker's
ranch.
It was in 1870 that Ball relin
quished his service to Charles Walk
er, who put up the buildings and es
tablished a station near the west
side of -Kearney county. This loca
tion has since been known as Walk
er's ranch. Illness, and later death,
removed Walker from the ranch and
a few days later Walker's ranch was
"owned" by a man named Smith and
a companion nicknamed "Polly."
They declared they had purchased
Walker's ranch. Neighbors yet say
the ranch was "jumped" and the
land stolen. The standard of con
duct in the west and significant ref
erences to the old graveyards south
of Lowell and Valley City had some
effect on a desire to contest the
pair's claim.
After Smith's advent "Walker's
ranch" began its career that ulti
mately found Smith in jail on a mur
der and federal charge, then out
again, and to the present day
"whereabouts unknown." Hir part
ner In the brawl that resxilte.l in:
"Polly" being shot to death by!
Smith and in the wounding of manyj
others, served three years in prison. J
Smith, who took refuge behind bis
own entrenchments, was capture 1 by,
a ccup on the part of Ball and a)
posse. He was locged in fi'. Lowell
county jail and then escaped.
