Jake's Garage 4- ITEMS Er.iil Kuetn wa3 looking after some nesday cf last week, driving over to the big town in his car. Louis Newman and wife were in Alvo on Wednesday of last week, where they were lokoing after some business matters. Kenneth Tool and wife, of Wahoo, were guests for the day Sunday at the home of Mr. Tool's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Tool. Frank Bergmann, of near Manley, was a visitor in Murdock, looking af ter seine business matters and as well visiting with his friend, William M. Ecurke here last Wednesday. A. II. Ward was over to Elmwood and on the road west locking after business on last Wednesday and as well distributing his high grade gaso line and oils to the dealers and the farmers. - The many friends of Eddie Craig were having seme sport with this popular and clever barber last Wed nesday, following the celebration of St. Valentine da3 by reason cf the very highly drawn comics that had been sent to this good natured citi zen. Win. Wendt was shelling and deliv ering corn to the Murdock elevator, he disposing of some five thousand bushels last week. The price 11 cents per bushel is certainly very low less than the farmer can raise the grain for. No wonder conditions have gotten into the shape they're in. But. better days are ahead. On Monday of last week occurred the twentieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schleuter, Mrs. Sehleuter having been formerly Miss Martha Schlaphoff, and who have re sided here throughout their married life, making good citizens, working; to the best interests of the commun ity. For that reason, they have a host of friends who are extending hearty congratulations and best wishes for their future. - WdL'Leu was out to the farm one day last week, where he went to as sist In the annual butchering day op erations and while the day was ni?e and the duty of superintending the work was light he found that being out in the cpen and hustling was dif ferent than in the easy chair at the fireside and was glad it was over and the work out cf the way. He and Grandma are feeling pretty good since getting over the flu. Celebrating: 55tli Anniversary Yesterday (Sunday) marked the passing of the 35th wedding anniver rary of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Neitzel, who were married in South Bend, In diana, on February 19, 187S. This couple came to Nebraska and cast their lot with this vicinity when Murdock was an infant and built here one of the first of the business houses in the town, locating here in 1891 when the townsite was first laid out end there was nothing but a siding and a box car for a depot, the name Murdock having been given the new town for one of the officials of the Reck Island railroad by that same name. Mr. and Mrs. Neitzel have found this a very pleasant place to reside and have made many friend3 here. They have enjoyed prosperity and have worked hard to attain it.

Departed for Byron, Nebr. Judge and Mrs. W. E. Newkirk, who have been visiting here for some two weeks at the home of their daughter, Mrs. L. D. Lee, and husband, Dr. Lee, departed on Wednesday morning for Byron, Nebraska, where they will re main for seme time visiting at the heme of another daughter, Mrs. A. E. Failing, who resides there. Byron is located just inside of Nebraska, along the Kansas state line east of Super ior. Has the Catching Smile The Capper Weekly, with a consid erable circulation around Murdock, carried last week a picture of Conrad Miller, Jr., who is pictured as having a merry smile, which is winning this lad cf one year many friends. The boy is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Miller, and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Miller, of Ogden, Utah, who were former residents of Murdock and vicinity. The grandfather, Conrad Miller, was a Bon of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Miller, who passed away some years ago, making the lad a great grandson of this early pioneer. Will Make Home in. Iowa, Henry Rueter r.nd family, who have resided on the farm east of Murdock for a good many years and who have practically spent their lifetime there, are soon to leave Nebraska to make their home in Iowa. With the settling of the estate, of which Mr. Rueter was one of the heirs, the property was sold, going into other hands, and they have sought a home elsewhere, being successful in purchasing a farm near Beaver, Iowa, which is located some ten miles east of Grand Junction, and in tho midst of a very fine country. The family expects to leave for the new heme between now and the 1st of March. In honor of the long friend ship of many years standing, friends and neighbors went to their home on last Tuesday evening in large num bers, making a merry evening for this excellent family and showing them that their lives here, their good deeds and the very helpful manner in which they have helped the community, the church and the schools are duly ap preciated and to - also extend their best wishes for a pleasant home and a profitable one in the new commun ity in which they Bhall locate in Iowa. 1 The Eank of Murdock Murdock, like other places, has its problems, which sometimes are diffi cult to solve. Also, like the citizens of other towns, those living here are always anxious and willing to do their best to make this the best place in which to live and to have a home or conduct a business. To this end, the interest of one and the welfare of the entire community is the concern of all. Recently, under conditions that can be attributed to the fault of no one, and are directly the result of general depression, the Bank of Mur dock found itself unable to collect a sufficient percentage of its outstand ing loan3 to carry on the business, meet the unusual withdrawal de mands which hard times always oc casion and pay their own overhead expenses. It was a condition that had to be faced and met and consequent ly the business was suspended for a time until arrangements could be per fected for its continuance in an order ly manner and the collection of out standing loans, which can net be ac complished in rapid manner. The de positors saw the logic of the situation and being anxious to aid the best in- is new law passed February 1, . - terests of the community have agreed to certain restrictions in withdrawals provided in a new state law whereby banks can re-open to conduct a lim ited business, which is being done here. Under the law moneys collected on outstanding notes by the bank are Im pounded for the benefit of the old de positors and cannot be reloaned or used in any other manner than pay ing off the old indebtedness. On the other hand, the claimants and deposi tors agree not to withdraw more than 1 per cent of their deposit each month unless the bank is able to make col lection on its assets faster and gives them permission so to do. New deposits are handled in much the same manner as heretofore, being withdrawable in part or in whole at any time after being deposited, and like the money collected on outstand ing bank loans, must be held as a trust fund and cannot be reloaned. Every protection is given the de positor to the end that maximum col lection may be made on each debt owed the bank and the depositors get the greatest possible amount. An announcement by the bank ap pears elsewhere on this page. A Surprise Party. On Friday evening, February 17th some friends and members cf the Evangelical church northeast of Murdock came in and surprised the Henry Foruoff family. They all ar rived about 8 o'clock. The evening was spent by the young folks play ing games while the older folks visit ed. A delicious lunch was served by the people consisting of ice cream, cake and coffee, at a late hour. They departed for home wishing Henry Fornoff and family much happiness in their new home. They are moving from the Dan Panska farm to the P. II. Meisinger farm west of Platts mouth. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Dan Panska and daughter, Irene, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Leutchens and fam ily, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Leutchens and family, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Leutchens and family, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ochlerking and family, Mr. and Mrs. Herold Leutchens, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Vogt and family, Clarence Denning, Frank Watzeneath , Wm. Dewitt, Leonard, Walter, Gilbert and Freda Fornoff, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fornoff.

Zangara Found to be Sane by His Examiners Would Be Assassin of President-elect Roosevelt to Face Trial on Charge Next Week. Miami, Feb. 17. Giuseppe T.an gara the man who tried to kill the President-elect was declared sane Friday by Dr. E. C. Thomas, county physician. The examination was informal. It was made several Lours after Zan gara's formal arraignment was post poned again while doctors exerted their skill to save two persons he wounded seriously Mayor Cermak of Chicago and Mrs. Joe Gill of Miami. Mayor Cermak's condition was re ported "satisfactory" late Friday and Mrs. Gill underwent a second blood ; transfusion in a desperate effort to save her life. Dr. Thomas examination was made independent cf a contemplated examination by a sanity commission. Judge Collins called Zangara be fore him Friday, appointed counsel for his defense and ordered him to re appear at 10 a. m. Saturday for for mal arraignment. His counsel's first step was to request appointment of sanity Commission to examine Zan gara, who says he has pains in his stomach and thinks he should kill all presidents and kings. Unshackled in Court. The epecinc charges against Zan gara are attempted assassination of Franklin D. Roosevelt and assault with attempt to murder Russell Cald well of Coconut Grove, Fla., Miss Margaret Kruis of Newark, N. J., and William Sinnott of New York. Florida is awaiting the outcome of Cermak's and Mrs. Gill's injuries before it charges the 33-year-old Italian with a crime for wounding them in the barrage he fired at Mr. Roosevelt in the bloody finale of a celebration Wednesday night. Should either die, the charge against Zan gara would be murder. Zangara his face gaunt came into court unshackled Friday. He wore a light blue spotted shirt, open at the throat, and white trousers. He chatted with two deputies who Etay- ed close by his side. The courtroom was packed, but there was no dis- turbance. Sheriff Kardie stationed 20 deputies throughout the court room to see that Zangara received every protection. Judge Collins kept court in session only five minutes. He announced ap pointment of Lewis Twyman, J. M. McCaskill and Alfred A. Raia to rep - resent Zangara and ordered the de - fendant brought back into court Sat urday. 'Best of Counsel' Zangara had said previously he didn't "want anybody to help me," but Jud?e Collins insi3ted he have the "best of counsel to forestall any: on equalization as between counties accusation that the prisoner was 'and ordered a general reduction of 17 railroaded." J percent on lands, 15 percent on lots Twyman is president of the Dade 'and 22 percent on personal property. County Ear association, McCaskill is 'and this resulted in a reduction of a past president of the association and Raia speaks Italian. Zangara seemed uninterested in the proceedings. After adjournment he was taken back to his cell on the 21st floor of the courthouse. He ate eggs Friday, the first solid food he has had since he tried to kill President-elect Roosevelt. His first nour ishment was half a coup of coffee Thursday. Later he drank a full cup. He is dieting, he says, because cf pains in his stomach Friday he asked for eggs and de puties ordered the food brought up. Confer with Assassin. Hi3 attorneys conferred with Zan gara a long time Friday, but made no comment. The counsel said they would decide Zangara's plea later. "What we will recommend and what his plea will be," Twyman said, "we do not yet know.' McCaskill said: "He is not an tagonistic like we heard he was. He WC3 good natured this morning. We believe he is 100 per cen honest and 100 per cent courageous. He appar ently won't tell a lie." The maximum penalty for the charges now facing Zangara is 20 years on each count or a total of 80 years. Omaha Bee-News.

CAE OP HTJEY LONG BUENS New Orleans. A small sedan own ed by Senator Long was destroyed by fire in the garage of his home. Police Lieut. McNamara said it was caused probably by defective wiring. Shortly before the fire was discovered Richard Osborne, private night watchman, said he fired five shots at an unidentified man who ran from the rear of the Long residence and failed to heed his commands to halt. Senator Long and his family were asleep in the house when the fire broke out. The Games were quickly extinguished. Joe Massina, guard for Senator Long was quoted by police as expressing the opinion the fire was incendiary. Governor Lends Approval to Tax Cnt Measure Mrs. Gillespie's Eill for Pvevaiuation cf Lands This and ITert Year, Approved by Governor. Another bill intended as a tax re duction measure, II. R. 80, by Mrs. Gille?pie, was signed by Governor Bryan Thursday. It provides for re valuation of rial estate for assess ment purposes i:i 19S3 and 1924 and every two years thereafter instead of every four years as provided by the present lav.-. It contains an emer gency claure and is now in effect and will be enforced April 1 by assessors I under instructions from State Tex j Commissioner 5'mitli. The bill rer-eals a law which gnve counties optional risLt to appoint a classification board to Hit real estate for assessment, r. lav.- enforced only by Custer, Suline and NuckcIIs, but once adopted by Cherry and Gage. The bill carries the eld provision that a county having more than 175, 000 population may once in ten years employ experts not to exceed a cost of ?2,000 to aid in valuing real es tate and buildings. The bill is expected to result in lower assessed valuations and thus a reduction in taxes, providing taxing j boards do not increase levies. Bills are pending to cut maximum levies which taxing boards order. Under the old fcur year real estate valuation law the next revaluation j would take place in 1934. Amove- nient was started last year for a low ering of real estate valuations. Gov ernor Bryan announced that this cculd not b3 done as the law did not provide for it. C. A. Sorcnsen, then attornev general, drafted a plan (whereby county boards might reduce hand values upon petition of property owners, and many counties did this. It was known as the Soreusen plan. When counties reported lowered land values to the state board of as sessment, Governor Bryan and other members of that board held a hearing taxes because of the lowered valu ation in most counties.
