LOCAL
LOUISVILLE HAS
BURGLAR SCARE
DURING WEEK
But the Joke Was on the Gang When
They Found It was Only the
Plumber Doing Night Job.
From Saturday's Daily
The "Home Guard" was out in full
force Sunday morning at about one
o'clock armed with shot guns, pis
tols and pitchforks prepared to cap
ture a burglar redhanded. The sup
posed robber was in Frank Johnson's
soft drink parlor and seemed in no
hurry to make his escape for after
surrounding the building b.e was
found peacefully sitting on a stool
smoking a cigarette. On looking up
Mr. Burglar looked down the muzzles
of a dozen or more guns. When all
was ready and it was certain that he
could not possibly escape, Marshal
Reichart demanded In as gruff a voice
as he was able to gruff, "What are
you doing in there?" "Who wants to
know ?" came the answer and Ernie
Bock, the plumber stepped forward
and wanted to know what it was all
about.
It appears that the sewer in the
building became clogged and in order
not to interfere with business dur
ing the day time, Mr. Johnson had
enge&ed him to clean out the sewer
during the night. John Koop, from
his residence in the next block, had
noticed the light in the building at
an unusual hour and gave the alarm.
Central, always alert, telephoned the
marshal and also turned in a general
alarm. 1 red Ossenkop, the hero of
a few ears ago, who winged two
burglars who were discovered rob
bing the Nichols store, was on hand
with his shotgun loaded to the muz
zel. Asked if he was not frightened
when he saw so many guns pointed
at him. Bock said: 'I tumbled at once
that they had mistaken me for a
burglar, but I did not think they
would be damn fools enough to
shoot."
While the laugh is on the fellows
who constituted the posse, it also
goes without saying that real live,
honest-to-goodness burglars would
better give Louisville the go-by.

RULES FOR MEASURING HAY
For rectangular haystacks the dis
tance over the top times the width
times the length times a certain fac
tor equals the volume of the stake.
The factor which should be used
varies with the shape of the top of
the stack. The more nearly the top
of the stack is shaped like a circle the
more hay it will contain for the other
dimensions. If a small stack has a
cone shaped top, use .25 as a factor.
If the stack is extremely tall and
cone shaped, use .31 as the factor.
If another stack is of the same
height but has a top shaped like a
circle, use .37 as the factor. The
factor for stacks of medium height
are .28 for cone shaped and .31 for
round tops.
Another rule is that the distance
over the top minus the width, divid
ed by two. equals the height, and
then the height times the width
times the length equals the volume.
The cubit feet in a round stack
equals the circumference of the stack
at the base times itself times the
height, divided by a factor. For cone
shaped stacks the factor is 25; for
stacks like half a sphere, the factor
is 19; and for stacks with vertical
sides up to six or eight feet and a
flat top, the factor is 15. Fifteen may
also be used as the factor for stack
with a decided bulg but the circum
ference should be taken half way be
tween the ground and the point of
the greatest bulge.
After the cubic feet has been found
the following table can be used to
find tonnage:
Height of Settled Cubic Feet
Stack Per Ton
10-12 30 days 613
10-12 60 days 512
lp-15 30 days 512
12-15 60 days 422
The same rules may be used for
measuring well settled hay in a hay
mow or shed.
LET THE FARMERS ALONE
Roundly scoring the "legislative
mania which has turned our heads
and depleted our pocketboks," In a
message to visitors to the grange
community exhibit recently held at
Cnohomish, Wash., Governor Roland
II. Hartley declared that the greatest
favor the state can bestow upon the
farmer is to "get off of his back and
leave him free to go about his busi
ness unhampered by an army of regu
lators, investigators, inspectors, ad
visors and dictators."
The farmer. Governor Hartley de
clared, is no different in his relation
to the state than any other citizen.
since the state is the product of the
cooperative effort of all citizens, re
gardless of vocation or profession. He
deplored any tendency toward "group
government." Participation in gov
ernmental affairs is as much the
business of the farmer as his purely
agricultural pursuits. Governor Hart
ley pointed out, as all government ac
tivity vitally affects the farmer.

NOBODY WANTS OLD
JAIL AT FALLS CITY
Board Receives No Bids for Prison
Built "for Eternity," out of
Massive Rock.
Falls City., Oct. 1. The board o
commissioners opened bids for tear
ing down the old Richardson county
jail. Only two bids were received
though they had been advertised for
a month. When the bids were opened
it was found that both were on a
tin shed in the rear of the jail, and
that no bids at all had been received
on the jail.
"I guess it's the jail that nobody
wanted," commented P. B. Weaver
chairman.
The jail was built here more than
fifty years ago at great expense and
after much work. It was built by a
board that designed it to last "unti
eternity." The rocks in it are three
feet thick and four feet wide, and
many of them weigh more than a ton
All are bound together with inch
steel bars set in drilled holes in the
rocks. It would probably require a
derrick to lift the rocks off to save
them.
The jail went into the discard this
spring with the opening of Richard
son county's new courthouse, which
has the new jail located on top of it
The old building has been the
subject of much controversy since
May. Sheriff Al Young refused to
move his prisoners from the old to
the new jail until directed to do
so by district court. Then Deputy
Sheriff Smith refused to move out
of the jail until a case he had
against the board was settled in
court. The board assessed him $20
a month for rent for living in the
building two month3 after the new
Jail was opened and held the money
out of his fees.
The county also asked for bids
on a huge safe which has been in
the possession of the county for more
than fifty years. It is in the old
wooden courthouse, used as a tern
porary county building until the new
courthouse was opened. The safe is
so massive that it is undesirable, and
no bids were submitted for its pur
chase.
The board wants to clean up the
counthouse lawn, and remove the
building in which the vault is housed
and it is considering burying the
vault on the lawn. It came to the
county about 1S70, being sent up the
Missouri river on a barge to Rulo
and hauled overland to Falls City
in the days before the railroad.
