The local gas rate has suffered one! reduction from 22c to 18c but the claim is made that at other points it can be secured for 15c and and 13c; and this is what has aroused the mavor to his ukase in favor of the' city dispensing the uas if necessary.

Kleck has Just received word of the sailing of his brother, Dr. Ernest Kieck of Ce- dar- Rapids. Iowa, from Hamburg. Germany, back to this country after several months spent In post grad ! uate work in the celebrated schools and hospitals at Vienna and Berlin Dr. Kieck has in addition to his re search work and special studies at the medical schools had a great op portunity for observation and judg- iment of the condition of affairs and writes very interestingly of his ex- periences. He bas founa that tu6 most cordial reception accorded the American visitors is found in Vien na and the new Bohemian republic where the people are very cordial anci pleasant, but in the other conti- rental nations there is not the same warm feeling shown to the visitors from the U. S. A. and in France and Germany the Americans are not as cordially received. The aftermath of the war has apparently left a poor feeling in these countries, in France because of the war debts due the United -States and the sting of de feat that the German ascribes to the Americans.

CAPTURES A 'POSSUM Prom Saturday's raily Last evening while Officer Joseph Libershal was making the rounds in the business section of the city, see ing that all was peaceful and calm, he had the experience of running on a strange animal in the vicinity of the Elks club house and which was far removed from any animal or ro dent that Joe had experience with. He was passing the entrance to the alley on 6th street when he heard a slight noise and investigating and throwing the rays of his flashlight around he discovered a strange ap pearing animal curled up near the light pole. Now this was something new for Mr. Libershal and he at once summoned Officer Clyde Jackson, who is an authority on the strange and unusual, and Jackson, being a na tive of eld Missouri, at once Identi fied the find as a real 'possum. The1 'possum was caged and left at the Kroehler hardware store. DEATH OF OLD RESIDENT Prom Saturday's inn v The death of one of the old and well known residents of Greenwood.

WORK AT OIL WELL SHOWS GREAT PRO GRESS LAST WEEK Eock Formations Continue the Most Favorable as Well Reaches a Depth of 950 Feet. tUt ,;.:. y-t, Dully The reports from the Nehawka Murray oil well continue the most favorable and the drillers in charge of the work of sinking the well re port having reached fto'l feet and the drill is going throuph the most fav orable formations that give strong hopes to the operators of the suc cessful outcome of their venture in the securing of a paying well. The oil bearing sand which was hit last week with its unmistakable traces of the presence at one time of petroleum has beeji followed by the porous rtick formations which are generally found In the successful oil bearing fields and through which the oil finds a passage. The work is exciting the interest of the whole state and the geologists who have been making surveys of the situation In the Nehawka dome are confident that if there is oil that It exists In this section and along the vicinity of Which the present well is located. In many of the fields over the country it has been necessary to sink many wells before a paying field was located and this was true of sev eral of the Oklahoma fields that have proven very fine paying oil wells and where the conditions were not as favorable as in Cass county. With the present favorable condi tions it would not be at all surprising to tap the field at Nehawka at any time and which would be ones of the greatest events in the history of the state COMMISSIONERS AT LOUISVILLE From Saturday's Daily County Commissioners Harris and Gorder were In town Tuesday with a view of replacing the Mill creek bridge at Sixth street which was washed out again a few weeks ago. This bridge was washed away daring the big flood September 28th of last year. It was repaired temporarily, and again went out ' this summer. Now the commissioners propose to put in a CO foot span bridge. For a number of years the ques tion of opening Fifth street has been agitated in order that farmers liv ing south and west of town might haul their grain to the Farmers' ele vator without coming clown to the Third stret bridge and then doub ling back again. The commissioners say they will place the new bridge on either street desired. In case of the abandon ment of the Sixth street bridge, it will be necessary for people living in the south part of town east of the creek to go around by the school house in oreler to get down town. This will also be true of farmers liv ing directly south of town. The commissioners will look into the matters more fully before they decide just where the new bridge will be located. It is not desired to work a hardship on anyone yet it is said the proposed new location of the bridge would accommodate a greater number of people. Mrs. W. B. Dale and children, Lu cille, Madeline, Virginia and Pres ton, departed this morning for Kearney where they will visit with the father of Mrs. Dale who is quite poorly at this time. CHIEF LOGAN FQN TENELLE SLAIN 69 YEARS YESTERDAY Last Chief of the Omaha Indian Tribe Was Ambushed in Nance Coun ty by Sioux Indians. From Thursday's I;iil Sixtv-nine vears ajio yesterday, August lo, 1855, Logan Fontenelle, last chief of the Omaha Indian tribe was shot to death and scalped ty a band of "Laramie Sioux" and some Arapahoes and Cheyennes. Out on the plains of Beaver Creek In what is now the county of Nance. the home and possession of the Om aha Indians, about a thousand of the tribe had gone on a buffalo hunt sixty miles north of Omaha. Logan Fontenelle had gone on the hunt much against his inclination, saying. according to S. D. Bangs, an early settler, who tells the story, that the government was sending a weak, de fenseless tribe to he massacred by the Sioux who had thousands of war riors. "I am ready for them," Logan is quoted as saying, pointing to his revolver. "If attacked I am good for six of them." Two months later riding forth to find a suitable place for their en campment for the night, he was sud denly ambushed by a hand of Indians. He fell, pierced by fourteen arrows. His scalp, it is said, was caken be fore he lost conscloussness and the warriors rode triumphantly away. Joseph La Flesche (Ironeyes) the n his friend, later his enemy, found the body the next day, wrapped it in par- llesbe. buffalo hide and carried it to the camp. Then the slow march to Bellevne began where Logan's young er brother, Henry, and Susan Pap pan, daughter of La Force Pappan. were accupying Logan's home. Thir teen days it had taken them to bring the body home. Mrs. Henry Fon tenelle. now more than 1 hundred years old, still remembers the scene and has pointed out the site of the old home and the position of the graves. Stephan Decatur was at the fu neral services, she said. There was not a priest or missionary, hut Deca tur, who. with his wife had taken claim next to Lojran's home, read the Epi ;copal burial service. Sloan, an Otoe half breed, protest ed that "he should be ashamed of himself to make a mockery of the Christian religion by reading the sol emn services of the church." Over the jrraves of Logan and Lu cian, trees have been growing these sixty-nine years. No one will ever know. !t is said, the exact spot ot the graves, but as near as Mrs. Fon tenelle and Elton Beksted can point out p. marker will some time be plac ed over it. Omaha World-Herald.
