The Murdock high school basket
hail team were over to Elmwood on
jati Tuesday evening where they en
gaged the similar team of the Elm
wood high school in a very spirited
game of basketball which was won
)y the Murdock' team by the neat
score of 21 to 11. The spirit was
fine and the playing good by the
teams from both towns. Then fol
lowed another game which was be
tween the town team of Elmwood
and the town team of Murdock, and
which was a fast and furious con
test. After having played for a time
and the score standing 6 to 6, the
referee, who was a high school stu
dent of the Elmwood schools, found
occasion to rule against the Murdock
team, counting them seven fouls, and
finally from some reason not known
to the Murdock boys, called the game
oft, saying that they could not con
tinue with the rough playing. The
Murdock people feel that the mat
ter of crabbing and finally stopping
the game was very unsporsman like
but still they came away with no
bitterness to the Elmwood people.

tree was one -growing on the lots of
Herman R. Schmidt, and was one of

est tree in Murdock, but it cumbered
the ground and interfered with the
garden of Mr. Schmidt and he
thought best to cut it down. After
having worked for a time on the
tree, along came S. P. Lies and as
sisted in cutting it down as also did
Mr. Fry and the genial shoemaker.

A Strange Happening.
A number of the people of Murdock

When Hard Times
were Really Hard
in Mills County
Ancient Copy of Tabor Beacon Tells
of Condition in the Winter
of 1860-61
Rumaging through the Tabor
(Iowa) Beacon files the other day
we found in the issue of January 3,
1908, the following reminiscence by
John Suits, telling of the hard times
just before the Civil war. Read it
and rejoice in ycur present compara
tive prosperity.
"It was during the winter of 1860
61, just before the Civil war broke
out. From Dec. 1 till March 1 of that
winter John was one of 40 men em
ployed in cutting and hauling ties
for the Kansas City railroad. The
war coming on delayed the construc
tion of the road, which was not built
until 1867. six years later.
"The ties were cut from the heav
ily timbered hills between Glenwood
and Pacific City. The logs were haul
ed to a saw mill at Old Pacific, where
they were cut into proper lengths.
"John says that each one of those
40 men were paid at the rate of $1 a
day, one half in groceries and one
half in dry goods, and that fcr the
entire three months he saw no mon
ey whatever in circulation.
"He tells that during that winter
he bought from Si Wearin 900 pounds
of salt pork for which he paid the
low price of three cents a pound. One
day while trading in Glenwood, he
went into the Bosbyshell &. Hanson
store where he bought a big wooden
bucket full of eggs for 23 cents,
bucket and- all. Farmers received
only two cents a dozen for eggs that
winter and that too in trade only,
not cash.
"Mr. Suits told a man by the name
of Russell, an early settler living in
Anderson township. As that was be
fore the days of the railroad in Mills
county, the towns of Malvern, Silver
City, Mineola, Hastings. Emerson
and Henderson were not in existence.
Russell had some wheat which he
wished to sell for cash in order to
pay his taxes. As money was known
to be scarce at that time in Glen
wood (the point at which the Mills
county people traded) he decided to
haul bis wheat to Council Bluffs,
conveying it there by ox team.
"Arriving in Council Bluffs he had
a hard time disposing of his load of
wheat. The grain men there were
taking in very little grain. Russell
could not even exchange his wheat
for groceries. Finally he was enabled
to sell his wheat to a merchant at 30
cents a bushel, receiving one half in
dry goods and the other half in
paper money issued by a state bank.
"Russell then proceeded to Glen
wood in order to pay his taxes out
of the little pile of so-called 'cash
which he had secured in Council
Bluffs. Upon his appearance at the
court house he was told by the
County Treasurer W. H. Taft that his
money was only so much worthless
paper, the state bank having recent
ly failed. Russell had been 'handed
a bunch" of 'wildcat currency, so
common at that time."

Alvo People
Seek Damage
for Smashup
llr. and lira. Charles Godbey Plain
tiffs in Action in Which They
Seek $7,688.50
From Friday's Daily
Two damage suits, aggregating
some I7.68S.60, were filed this
morning in the office of the clerk
cf the district court by Attorney
Carl D. Ganz of Alvo, representative
of Mrs. Myrtle Godbey and Charles
Godbey, prominent residents of Alvo.
The suits are filed against John L.
Zoz of the same locality, they both
being based on an accident that oc
curred on a high intersection near
Alvo on November 8, 1931.
The suit in which Mrs. Godbey is
the plaintiff asks for a judgment for
$5,000 which is based on the allega
tion that the defendant operating an
automobile, drove into a highway in
tersection while the car of the plain
tiff was completely in the intersec
tion and had the right of way. It is
further claimed that as the result
of the accident Mrs. Godbey suffered
severe fractures and ether injuries
and on which she bases her claim.
The suit of Mr. Godbey is similar
in every way to that of the wife and
also asks for personal damage as
well as damage to the auto in the
sum of $2,688.50.

stockings she did have.
