Some tTine later he left for the western coast, where his health failed him. He again returned to Avoca and was soon after taken to an Omaha hospital, where he re mained for four weeks.

His condition became serious on the way, necessitating his entering the Lara mie hospital in Wyoming, where he remained until his death. The cause was valvular heart trouble and tub er culosis. the doctors stated. Harvey gave full assurance of his hope beyond and made his peace with God. long before death. He felt his time was not long for this world and often mentioned his satisfaction in spending his early years with his grandmother here, who cared for him so loyally. He leaves to mourn, his father and mother, one sister, his grandmother, Mrs. Florine Durham, four aunts. tour uncles, and a goodly number of cousins. Interment took place at the Avoca cemetery, with W. L. Hobson in charge of the burial. Itev. O. W. Reger officiating.

Mynard. al3-2tw-6d One reason why boys don't steal watermelons as much as they used to is that they are accustomed to having them served ice-cold. In the confiscation of much con traband liquor, beer, etc., the coun ty has come into possession of a great many bottles, and jugs of vary ing size and quality. Now the ques tion arises what to d,o with tlie afore said jugs, bottles, etc., whether to destroy i hem or follow the rulings of the law that they be sold. The prin cipal of the sale of the bottles for s meone else to start in on the manu facture of more liquor, seems to be rather a paradox, the general t-lan of tlie county officers is to have the con tainers destroyed and placed cat of the way of temptation. However with the fact that Deputy Sheriff Young is one of the best auctioneers in tht state, if the bottles are offered for sale there should be some warm bidding for the bargain counter of ferings of the jugs and bottles.
