Norenberg, has been feel ing ill for the past weex. Mrs. Li. Neitzel is spending this week with her daughter, Mrs. O. J. Hitchcock of Havelock. That gives Li. N. a chance to try hia hand on the culinary art. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heinemann were over to Lincoln on last Wednes day where they were visiting and as well looking after some shopping, they making the trip in their auto. 1 Miss Mary Alice Ault of Platts mouth and her sister, Elizabeth Ault, were visiting for the day last Wed nesday at the home of their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. O. E. McDonald of Murdock. - George L. Berger was a visitor at the home of Albert Bauers and wife for a short time last Wednesday, and with them went to Plattsmouth, where they were guests at the home of their cousin, Mrs. Edward Ripple for a number of days. Mrs. C. A. Kupke entertained the jnembers of the Order of Eastern Star at her home north of Murdock last Wednesday and was assisted by Mrs. Rudolph Kuehn. Mesdames A. J. Tool, II. M. Tatterson and Frank Buell were in attendance. Charles Kupke, who has been mak ing his home in town for the past number of years, was out to the farm last Wednesday and was taking his place with the other workers and by the end of the day was feeling some what tired for the first day's work. II. M. Tatterson, the new merchant, who has been living in the small house of A. II. Ward, moved to the Arthur Rikli rental property, as the ihouse he had been occupying is too small for the family and the place to which he ha3 moved is ample for the needs of the family. Mrs. W. O. Schewe will teach L. Neitzel's Sunday school class next Sunday, ot give Mr. Neitzel a chance to pay a long deferred visit to his brother-in-law, J. J. Martin at Cedar Bluffs, Nebr., the place served by Mr. Neitzel 52 years ago as pastor. It was one of nine appointments on his charge. Eddie Craig and wife were over to Fremont last Sunday where they engaged in fishing for the day, not bo much for the profit that comes by diligent application to this ' line of business, but for the fact cf the 'vMry sport of it, and the outing. However they were able to bag their custom ary thirteen fish. Wednesday of last week, A. J. Tool, the harness maker and proprietor cf the hardware store, accompanied by Lacey McDonald, and Bryan McDon ald, were over to Fremont for the day and for the outing which it af forded, as well as getting some fish. Mesdames Tool and McDonald look ed after the store while the boys were away. Steps are now being taken for the securing of amusement for the peo ple of Murdock and vicinity, which will be in the shape of a band con cert one night in the week. Just when they will get going and what night, is as yet unknown. However, it will be a good practice. Many town in the county are at this time providing such amusement. Henry A. Tool and wife and Mrs. Leah Tool, mother of Henry, and his sister, Miss Mae Tool, were over to Weeping Water last Wednesday, where they were visiting at the home of Fred II. Gorder and wife and also attending a meeting of an extension club. They were accompanied by Mrs. P. T. Johnson, wife of the candidate for nomination for the position of superintendent of schools of the county. Has Nice Piece of Wheat. Herbert Bornemeier harvested his wheat which contained some sixty acres and conservative estimates are that the field will average seme twen ty bushels to the acre. However, the same piece ha3 at other times made as high as 50 bushels to the acre, but has done exceptionally well this year considering the conditions. Has Severe Wreck. While L. ,W. Clites of Elmwood, was going to Omaha with a load of stork in his truck, and was approcah ing the narrow bridge near the home cf Gust Wendt, he met a car with exceedingly bright lights, which were hard to face and as a result he veer ed to the right and struck a ridge of loose gravel, went into the ditch and turned over, wrecking his truck. In the wrecking of the truck one of the cattle was pinned under, while another was badly injured, the re mainder getting away. Mr. Clites was not so badly hurt himself. The truck was entirely demolished and catching fire, was burned, the ani mal which was caught was burrjsd to death, but the crippled one was TEH able to get away. Of course one needs good lights, but some of them are beyond reason. Stringent regulations should be observed to protect those who travel at night from the dangers cf bright lights. The remains of the truck were tak en to the garage of Henry Jacobson where it is being looked over, but it seems that it is irredeemable. For tunate it was that Mr. Clites was able to get out with as little injury personally, as he did. Hears from Son. Eddie Craig received a letter from his son. Jack Craig, who is stationed on the U. S. Pennsylvania, and which is a portion cf the Pacific fleet which is cruising in Atlantic waters for the summer. Jack says he likes the trip and likes the Atlantic much better than the Pacific.

They were married on June 19, 1SS4, just fifty years ago on Tues day of this week. Mrs. Jones was formerly Miss Matter, and a sister of Mrs. Leah Tool, mother of Henry A. Tool, who makes her home at Ack ley, Iowa. On Monday Mr. and Mrs. Henry A.

For many years the Bible schools and church members of the three churches of this vicinity of the Evan gelical faith, have seen fit to get to gether in an annual picnic which has been held at the grove of the Calla han church southwest of Murdock, where the abundant shade and space for games and which have been tak en advantage of by the picnickers. This year was no exception. There was a large crowd attracted from all the churches and which made a large and happy gathering, who enjoyed the day last Tuesday in games, visit ing, social conversation and the good eats which were brought along. Suffers Loss of Home On last Tuesday the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rosenow was found to be afire. Every effort of the countryside and as well the city cf Murdock, was put forth to extinguish the flames and save some of the goods of the home, but to no avail. All the household goods were destroyed and the house as well. The farm be longs to August Ruge and was cov ered by insurance, but on the con tents of the house there was no in surance. The household effects, even the clothing of the family except what they were wearing, was burn ed. Mr. Rosencw had some fifty dol lars in cash in his pocket in the sec end story of the house and this was burned. This leaves the family in very straightened circumstances. However they have many friends who are ever willing to step in and give assistance in this time of stress. Will Visit in West.

Other scientists have been pri marily interested in geology and an thropology." Agriculture Is the foundation cf all business prosperity. Arrest Suspect in Attempted Ex. tortion Case Threatening Letter Sent to County Attorney W. G. Kieck Leads to Arrest of Albert Collins. From Thursday's Daily Last evening Albert Collins, 47 was arrested in this city as a sus pect in an attempted extortion against County Attorney W. G Kieck. A letter was recived by County At torney V. G. Kieck, mailed in this city on June 12th and which threat ened him if the sum of 1 50 was not delivered in South Omaha. I The let ter was as follows: "Wrap up $50 in bills and leave at Harry Miller's cafe in South Omaha for Mrs. Addie Spicer and make it Bnappy if you want to save your hide and ask no questions After leaving it make a quick get away if you don't want to get into trouble." ALBERT COLLINS The county attorney prepared a package similar to that of the bills and left it at the cafe designated while Omaha detectives awaited a claimant but none appeared and the scene of the investigation was trans ferred to this city. It was learned that a man named Collins was residing at the home of Gottherd Rhode on South 10th street and accordingly last evening Sheriff Homer Sylvester came to the Rhode home and ran the man down as he attempted to escape. Collins, whom it is claimed i a former resident of this city, has been living in Omaha but came here three wec-ks ago from that city and secured a room at the Rhode home where he was apprehended. The man on being arrested denied sendins: the letter although he stated that Mrs. Spicer, mentioned in the note, was a cousin of his. County Attorney Kieck is turning the man over to the federal authori ties for investigation and action as the threatening letter came through the mails and the man will probably be prosecuted for mailing threaten ing letter through the mail.
