County Attorney R. J. Nic-kerson. X-offlcio coroner of Sarpy county, held an inquest in Springfield Wed nesday afternoon, inquiring into the drowning of Harold Buckner, 12-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buck ner, who met his death on Monday evening when an outboard motor boat in which he was riding was overturn ed in a sand pit lake at Meadow. The boat was being operated by Henry Timmerman and In it with him were Harold Buckner and Walter flless man. In some unexplained manner, the boat lurched, throwing all the occupants into the water. Timmer man was a'?e to save himself and the (Jlesman led. but was unable to reach Buckner before he sank, al though he made every effort to do so, and also caned louoiy for neip. After hearing all the evidence the following verdict was returned by the jury composed of Albert Kieck. Tay lor Jarman. John C. Sweenie. T. W. Nicholson, J. I). Harder and 11. F. Latham : "That Harold Buckner came to his death June 16, 1931. by drowning in a sand pit near Meadow, by reas on of the sinking of the boat with in outboard motor owned and oper ated by Henry Timmerman. "While we do not find criminal negligence, and while we do find that Henry Timmerman and Richard Kiger used every effort to rescue Buckner. still we feel that both Henry Timmerman and Richard Ki ger are subject to public censure for taking small boys out on the lake in a home made boat of such flimsy construction ." Pa pi 11 ion Times. DOES AN INJUSTICE About the meanest little trick that this paper has had slipped over on our force for many a day. was In the little bunch of what was supposed to be news items from Cedar Creek, and printed in the Monday issue of this paper. OrlHCta had reference to the erection of the new school honse now under construction in that place. None of our force had the slightest idea that the items were in any w iy intended for a slap at the members of the school board who have be-in v orking so hard for the completion pi the new building for the fall term Dr. K. K. Blackman of Lincoln, Curator of the Nebraska State His torical Society, in company with Dr. Gilmore of Murray and 'Edward Murphy, who 7Tves northwest of Ne hawka, were in Nehawka and vicin ity Tuesday afternoon. The three gentlemen came to Nehawka to in spect pieces of flint, pottery, arrow heads, etc., which Verner Lundberg and the Enterprise editor found in excavating an Indian house site last summer and to also visit other In dian evidence in the community. Mr. Blackman has done much re search work throughout the state and is very interested In this work. Dr. O-ilmore has also explored this section to considerable extent and has found many Interesting things along this line and such men as Mr. Blackman find it profitable to con sult him while In the community. Mr. Murphy is also interested in this work and can yield a spade with good results whe n called upon to do so. , Mr. Bla kman expects to doc on siderable research work near flenoa this summer, but informed 'he mem bers of the party Tuesday that he would not li happy until he 'had thoroughly excavated one of the In dia house siten which is located Beak t his p ice. The house site in question is said by Dr. Gilmore tj be rectangular in shape, something out of the ordin ary. Mr. Blackman is not so sure of its shape and will not be satis fied until he makes a thorough in vestigation. While he would be very much pleased to find the shape of the house as Dr. Gilmore claims, we know he would enjoy it just as much If he could prove that the doctor was mistaken. Mr. Blackman expects to come to Nehawka when time permits, put up his test and spend a couple of weeks doing nothing but research work in the community. Nehawka Enterprise. CONSUMER IS IMPORTANT New York Richard Whitney, president of the New Vork stock ex change, suggests as a means of pre venting periods of depression, more scientific knowledge about a com parative stranger, the consumer. In his annual report to the governing committee of the exchange, publish ed Wednesday. Mr. Whitney traces in detail the course of the business cycle down to Its current low levels, and discusses various theories that have been advanced. "On the whole," he concludes, "consumption rather than produc tion, seems to constitute the greater threat against the stability of bus iness.' He points out that produc tion is a mechanical problem, and great stricres have been made ward its scientific control, but addl "by comparison, consumption sta tistics are scanty, incomplete and problematic as to their true signi ficance. "The trends of consumption are themselves largely unpredictable, and constantly subject to the chang ing whims of fashion. If any funda mental progress in stabilizijig liie fluctuations of business is actually to be realized, a more complete and ac curate knowledge of consumption seems indispensable." 2 DIE.

June 24. Although a coroner's jury today decided that Dan Melsha, rS, shot himself to death yesterday in the Farmers' f school, btii such sometimes is ihe State hank of which he was vice- rase with real community workers and builders. The board started in I lenty of time to complete tho oe'w school for the opening of the fall term, but the various delays brought on by those l.ot In harmony with the cause have delayed the work, and will be completed be'ore the first of October. We do not usually let such little items get by the dead line in this office, and personally we want to apologize to the members of this school board, the building committee and all connected with the erection of this excellent little school house that will shelter some 45 members of the children of that community this winter. The building committee is composed of Robt. Stivers. R. H. Meisinger. A. G. Swanda, L. W Sch neider, and John Oauer, and they are really to be commended upon the erection of such a building for 530.00, and should bo tendered a real community banquet at the open ing time. The full building will be cut up into three rooms on the first floor, with the two school rooms 36x22-3. and a library room 11-6x20, full base ment, with play room, lunch room and heating plant, and other stor ing quarters. This will be an excellent school quarters for Cedar Creek for many years, and such community workers as those connected with its erection deserve the commendation of the en tire district, and no doubt will in after years.

SEEK COOLING WAT EES From Friday's Dally The intense heat of the past week has been the source of a general trek on the part of the residents of this community to watering places, the Platte and Missouri rivers sand pits and the Murray bathing beach. Last evening car loads of the heat tortured residents, young and old, male and female, could be seen driv ing to some of the places where ihey might ake a din into the coding waters and for n few moments at least forget the fact that the torrid weather was prevailing. The more venturesome took the opportunity of the sand pits or river here while those less experienced in the swim ming line were content to try the safer solace of the Murray beach.

Eight hours later he died in a hospital. Monday Hosicky said he found Melsha slugged and unconscious in the hank. The money was missing and Melsha said he didn't see the robber.
