Ja f W $V III Laughing Around the World ' With IRVIN S. COBB A Clean Bill of Health By IRVIN S. COBB A FTER the homesteader had followed the treasure-seeker into Alaska an ambitious newcomer, who had more of optimism than experience undertook sheep raising. In the eyes of the old settlers, who mainly were jrald hunters by profession, the sheep business was a debasing occupation. An Eskimo 'lop, the prize performer of a team belonging- to an old prospector, killed a sheep belonging to the ranchman and the latter brought action for damages. The evidence was conclusive enough but the owner of the guilty dog and his lawyer had wit enough to demand a jury trial of the case and to see to it that the jury was made up exclusively of mining men. After hearing the evidence and the arguments, the twelve good men and true retired to make a judgment. Almost immediately they re turned, and the foreman, speaking for himself and his associates, gave this finding: v "In the fust place, Jedge, this here jury solemnly declares that this is a dog country and not no sheep country. In the second place, this here clog has afways been a peacable dog, so it stands to reason that the sheep must have jumped on him fust. Such bein' the case, we decided that this here sheep man has got to pay all the costs and don't git no damages. mAaJ the dog is not guilty, on the grounds of self-defence." (American News Features.

Elizabeth Ann Bauer, nee Oliphant, born January 10, 1S59, in Ntw Castle, Lawrence county, Pa., rassed away at her home in Mur dock, April 15, 1937. She was 7S years, 3 months and 5 clays old. She came to Cass county, August 25, 1SS7, and settled near Louis ille, Nebraska, for a short time. "DE FETJ SE. J the was married to John Albert Bauer at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, two years later, on August 10, 1SS9 In 1911 the couple came and settled in the Village of Murdock, which became her last earthly dwelling place. Four girls ' and two boys were born to the marital union. Th daughter, Mabel Boldan, of Weep ing Water, and the two boys pre ceded their mother in death. There remain of her immediate family, her husband and three daughters, Mrs. Grace Wilson, o Lincoln; Mrs. Gertrude Conklin, of Norfolk. Nebraska, and Mrs. Hazel Twiss, of Lincoln. She also leaves htteen grandchildren, three great granueiiildren, her neighbors, many long time friends and fellow mem ber:; of the Murdock chapter of the Loyal Neighbors of America. Mrs. Bauer joined the Christian church in New Castle, Pa., at the age of K5. She never withdrew her ( rurch letter from that early rela tionship throughout the years of 1 er long and interesting life. Death, after a lingering illness of many months, cut short the cele bration of the approaching golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Bauer. Such is the uncertainty of life, as man plans and wrestles with it. Hence it behooves us all to "So live that when thy summons comes to join the innumerable cara van which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death, thou go not, like the quarry slave at night scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by an unfal tering trust, approach the grave like o.ie who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams." Funeral services were held at the Murdock Evangelical cnurch Sun day afternoon. April 18, conducted by the Rev. Harvey A. Schwab. In terment was in the Wabash-Murdock cemetery. Five grandchildren and one grand nephew acted as pall bearers. The Journal joins with the many lriends in extending condolences to the bereaved husband and other rela tives.
