Sioux City Journal, 2G: The little town of Hubbard, Neb., has been upset by mysterious gun attacks on the home of John Sullivan, a wealthy farmer near there, which culminated in the alleged shooting of one of a gang of four "gunmen" by Albert Mnllin, Mr. Sullivan's farm hand, but now it may return to its peace ful way. The deep mystery, in which many sensational incidents took place, has been solved. Albert Mullin. hero of the young men nnd young women of Hubbard because) he put to route the gunmen" gang, is the "double dyed" deceiver. Mul lin yesterday confessed to A. J. Nuss, manager of a detective agency, that he concocted the story of the "gunmen" attack and that ho fired the shots at the home of Mr. Sulli van, who is his uncle. Mullin's con fession, which he signed, was turned over to Mr. suuivan. it is probable that Mullin will not be prosecuted because of his kinship to the Sulli vans. The stories framed up by Mullin, according to his signed state ments, were weird. He posed as the hero in all his pseudo adventures. Residents of Hubbard, and particu larly the Sullivans, were greatly wrought up by the attacks on , their home. Several times the house was struck by bullets. Occupants heard the bullets whiz by. Here is the so lution to the mystery, a3 told by Mullin in his confession. "I shot at the (Sullivan) house a num ber of times I do not know the ex act number of times. I shot for the purpose of making Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan believe that they were be ing molested by other parties." Here's another story concocted by young Mullin, which proved the "deepest" mystery of all. It is here told in his own words: "On or about the Fourth of July, about 9 o'clock in the evening, I hid in a pit about 80 feet west of the granary, and while hiding there I saw four men approach the cultivator which was standing in the field; the four men began to strip the parts off the machine, and 1 opened lire on tnem with my revolver, firing at and hit ting one man twice, who fell to the ground. He was picked up by his companions and was taken to the place where they had the horses tied and was taken away on one of the horses. In going away they drop ped a niece of blood stained cloth which had covered the wound in flicted by me. I showed the blood stained cloth to Mr. and Mrs. Sulli van. I now state that the piece of blood stained cloth which I showed to them (the Sullivans) was taken from the sore foot of one of the horseB on the farm. The horse's name .was Kate." Mullin, accord ing to his sighed statement, strip ped Mr. Sullivan's farm machinery of different parts and told his em ployer that they had been stolen. Sioux City Journal. 28: Miss Mary Duj?gan and Miss Helen Duggan, of Goodwin, Neb., with their gueat, Miss Mary Moriarity, of Woonsock- ct, K. I., returned to their home yesterday after being 'entertained by their Sioux City friends for sev eral days. . . .Among the Sioux City ans who are spending the week at Crystal lake are Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Wells, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Knight, Mr. and Mrs..G. L. Warsing, Miss Anna Coughlin, Mis3 Gladys Coughlin, Miss Grace Langfeldt, Miss Mabel Barclay and Miss Helen Herbst. Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Brvant. of Bov- den, la., are with the party. . . .The Uienhart Hats, Seventh and Nebras ka streets, have been purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Rico, of Chicago, and James M. King, of Ho mer, Ncb., nnd Samuel J. Knox, of Wnterbury, Neb. The purchase price was $80,000. Record of' the sale was filed yesterday at the office of the county recorder. The deal was made through the real estate firm of H. L. Cravens & Co. Mort gages on Sioux City realty totaling $40,000 were part of the considera tion. Mr. Cravens stated that the property had been bought for in vestment purposes... Rumors, start ing from no authoritive source, and yet which have been persistent in the city for several days to tho ef fect that the waters of Crystal lako were "poisonous," yesterday brought forth a denial signed by the cottagers of the lake. There were several hundred names on the testi mo"' I, Among them were thoso of so. in f Sioux City's most widely knoxii ioctors. It is estimated that nearly 1,500 people are living at the lake this year, and from 2,000 to 4,000 persons go to the lake each Sunday. The starting point of the rumor could not be determined. The cottagers attested that they go bathing in tho lake every day, and have suffered no ill effects as the re sult. Joe Marshall, who is interest ed in the Crystal Lake Park company, said some people have been poisoned in this way: Instead of going to a bath house they back their automo biles into the woods and change their clothes, resulting in some instances in cases of poison ivy. The state ment signed by the "cottagers" reads: "We, the undrsigned cot tagers and residents of Crystal lake, believing that a great injustice is being done by the circulation of false reports regarding the purity of the water in Crystal lake, desire it to be known that we use this lake for daily bathing for ourselves and families, and with no ill effects, and we know that the water is pure. We believe tho said false reports were circulated by parties with ma licious intent, and as this lake has become a popular summer rosort and ia attracting thousands' of people, it is only just that we express our sentiments." Lutheran Church Notes DAKOTA CITY-SALEM "The abundance of life consisteth not in the abundance of what a man possesseth." This is what most peo ple will subscribe but it is what many do not comprehend. How men do wrestle with the world to wring from it what they can. As if happiness and riches of One sort or another were synonomous, or even went hand in hand. Abundance of life is a condition rather than things possessed. The man who has little may live as loyaly as ho who has much. Indeed we have all known some who would pass out of the world and never be missed, possibly men rejoiced at their passing tho Dakota City Grocery Specials for, Saturday Three 10e packages fruit jar rubbers 25c Three 10c Cans Calumet Baking Powder.. 25c 3 Bars Trilby Soap 25c 3 Cans Mustard Sardines ' 25c 2 pkgs Corn Flakes 25c 3 cans Peas 25c 3 Cans Corn 25c 7 Boxes Hippo Wash Powder 25c HigRest Price Paid for COUNTRY PRODVCE L. Dakota City, they were possessed of much, while others leave a distinct void when they have left tho they needed no Will to distribute their riches, for they took all their wealth with them tho love of tfio community, tho memory of kindness, the oft times unrequited service, tho downright self denial. Such a one has lived an abundant life, ono of wide in fluence and deep friendship. Then, how many things thero nre to thrill you over life. Get off the farm to the city for a while, then come back to old Dobin and the dog, and your spring plowing nnd you will know what wo mean. Just real joy over tho commonplaces of life. Vou do not need many possessions to experience that. Your posses sions could not buy them. A rich man may have a fine cane, and an elegant coat, but hardly "life" enough to smile. His heart may be heavy and lifeless, even sordid. That is not life abundant, it is pov erty, squalor of life, misery. Choose a cot, a mind to work, and strength rather than such. Choose a life, that tingles at a kind word spoken, a spir it that leaps in you because you are serving, a soul that sees the bright side of lowly things. That is a full life, and abundance. We once heard an old man say, "Who wants to sleep his life away," and from his conversation we judged he wanted more waking hours for revelry. But how poor are the pleasures which pass in an hour and leave depression in their wake com pared to the beauty of right. Right eousness exnlteth, even in tho eyes of the debased. How long have you rejoiced after you had "stung" a friend or how many times have you been really sorry that you helped him. That is the abundance of life. When your soul is stirred and the spirit is thrilled with the good, that is abundant life. Money could "hot buy it, you would't sell it. A poor man can have it as well as the rich, and much easier. And the power of it all is Jesus Christ. A non christinn truly may know something of it, but tho fullness of such abun dance is in the lovd of the Master. The Emmanuel Ladies' Aid will have a picnic Wednesd.n, as this goes ta press, at Crysta. .uko. Our Salem Sunday school was well attended last Sunday as was tho church service. Remember wo will have the commmunlon next Sunday. Wo will not bo disappointed. We rejoiced to receive four into the church at Salem last Sunday.
