Agricultural Department Report
Shows Seven Percent Less Sheep
and Lambs in State.
There were about 7 fewer sheep
and lambs on feed in Nebraska on
January 1 this year than last accord
ing to E. V. Jones, assistant agricul
tural statistician. Lamb feeding in
the eleven corn belt states on Jan
uary 1 was about 11 smaller than
a year ago while the total operations
in the corn belt and western states
were nearly 13 smaller.
There were approximately 775,000
head of sheep and lainb3 on feed in
Nebraska on January 1. 19C4. This
number is to be compared with 835,
000 on feed a year earlier and 820,
000 on January 1, 1932. While feed

territory were on a reduced scale this
year .operations in the Central
Platte valley and nearby points were
fully as large and perhaps slightly
larger than a year ago. There were
very few lambs on feed in the yards
near Omaha both this year and last.
The decrease in lamb feeding which
took place in the United States as a
whole was about equally divided be
tween the corn belt and western
states. The total on feed in the eleven
corn belt states of 2.555,000 head
was about 11 smaller than a year
earlier. The five states east of the
Mississippi river and the three states
west of the Missouri, river all had
smaller numbers on feed this year;
each of the three states betwean these
two groups had increased numbers
from a year earlier. The decrease in
Nebraska resulted from a decrease of
about 90.000 head in the Scottsblurf
area, with some increase in the rest
of the state.

Officers Search
for Attackers
of Aged Man
Deputy Sheriff Lancaster Joins Party
in Search in Vicinity of
Near Elnrwood.
Deputy Sheriff J. E. Lancaster was
out at Elmvood and vicinity Thurs
day afternoon to join Sheriff Ryder
and party c Otoe county deputies in
the search for the assailants of Mar
cus Wessel, aged Otoe county farmer,
residing just south of Elmwood.
The attack was made on the aged
man who lives alone, in an effort to
force him to tell the whereabouts of
money that the men were convinced
the aged man had secreted.
After beating and kicking the C5
or 70-year old man, who f ought back
valiently as long as his strength en
dured, the two men departed from the
farm, leaving Mr. Wessel securely tied
in a cornfield.
The account of the crime as given
by the Nebraska City News-Press is
as follows:
When Mr. Wessel declared over
and over again that he had no money
on the place the men trussed him up
with heavy rope, gagged his mouth
with a rag and then carried him out
into the cornfield.
"Unless you tell us where your
money is," one of the men declared,
"we're going to pour coal oil over
your body and set you on fire."
All Mr. Wessel could do was shake
his head. Again they threatened to
go to the house, get oil from the
lantern and add to the tortures they
already had inflicted. Apparently
discouraged at the man's steadfast
denial that he had money hidden in
his house ,or on his farm, the two
torturers departed.
Mr. Wessel was unable to free him
self for an hour and a half. Then he
made his way to the home of a neigh
bor a half mile away, where he spent
the night.
Mr. Wessel lives alone in his mod
est home, which is on a quarter sec
tion of land on the county line nine
miles north and three miles west of
Syracuse, lie has children in Alvo
and Palmyra.
The torturers came to hi3 home
about 8:30 Tuesday night, walked
in when they saw their victim sit
ting there and stuck a gun , in his
face. One of the men was masked
and armed. They demanded his
money but Mr. Wessel said he had
none there.
Then the brutality began. The
armed marauder "buffaloed" Mr.
Wessel over the head with the bar
rel of his gun, inflicting a cut. The
farmer fought back for several min
utes, finally was overpowered by both
the strangers after he was struck on
the face and cut.
After being dragged out into the
cornfield and trussed up the farmer
was kicked and beaten some more,
but he couldn't tell them the hiding
place of his money because he had
none.
Mr. Wessel's farm house is in a
lonely part of Otoe county, away from
main traveled highways. The man's
children told Sheriff Ryder they have
convinced their father he shouldn't
live there alone any more.
EEHEAP.SALS NOW ON
The rehearsals of "George In a
Jam," the three act comedy drama be
ing presented by the Wintersteen Hill
Parent-Teacher's association at the
high school auditorium on Thursday
evening, February 1st, indicate it will
be one of the funniest home talent
plays produced for some little time.
The antics of "Bub" Martin as
"Pop Larking," "Wink" Sprecher as
"Zeke Stebbins," "Bus" Mumm as
"Lena" and Edna Herring as "Sara
Jane" are funny enough to even make
the Four Marx Brothers take a back
seat. The mystery of the stolen
jewels and their recovery add to the
suspense in such a manner that the
solving of this mystery and the comic
situations encountered before the
jewels are recovered keep the interest
at a high pitch at all times.
By boosting and seeing this home
talent play you are not only getting
an evening's entertainment but at
the same time supporting a very
worthy cause. The children of our
communtiy must be educated and to
be properly educated our school
buildings must be in first class con
dition at all times. The proceeds of
this play are for completion of repairs
to the Wintersteen Hill school. As
everybody is concerned in education
so should we all be interested in see
ing "George in a Jam."

MORTALS
The spirit of mortals is fleet
ing as the tide.
Like the grar-s, that withers and
i3 laid aside,
And the wind Moweih and scat
tereth it far, far away.
Till influenced by reason and a
more perfect day.
The calendar is consulted and
hangs on the wall.
The birds twitter and chirp out
of tune as tluy fall,
But the spirit of mortals will
soon flee away,
Like the clouds in the sky, are
fleecy and gray.
A king may enthrall, a prince
may inspire,
But the spirit of mortals burn
with a desire
To scatter abroad seeds, then
rest in the thade,
Near a babblir-g brook or a
peaceful glade.
Stop; stop ye mortals with the
spirit of lust,
This world is not so large since
reduced to dust.
In the fullness of time you may
be able to learn
That the earth on its axis con
tinues to turn.
The spirit of mortals should
ever be free,
As the light from the beacon
flashes on the lee,
For when quickened by Love,
which overshadows all.
It is redeemed from the dark
ness that hangs like a pall.
Deep in the stillness of tlie for
est glen,
The shades of night are weaving
a web tighter than any ton
gue or pen
Could portray in words or pic
tures of the days of yore.
Till the spirit of mortals yield to
the old forgotten lore.
