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. They

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.

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

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.

caused probably by defective wiring.

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.

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.
Don't send your money away if
you want to see real prosperity in
