Fire Friday evening destroyed the
farm home of Wm. Oehlerking a
mile southeast of South Sioux City.
The fire started from a defective
flue, and the high wind blowing at
the time made it impossible to save
much of anything from the building.

saved by the heroic efforts of a
bucket brigade. About 2,000 bush
els of potatoes stored in the cellar
were destroyed. The house was
valued at about $4,000.
Burglars attempted to rob the
Bank of Dakota County at Jackson,

without getting to the cash. A new
manganese safe had been ordered
and was expected any time, and it
was about the last chance the burg
lars had to get in their work.
Dakota County Resident
Dies at Woodbine, la.
In the death of Henry W. Wood,
which occurred last Wednesday, Jan
uary, 9, 1918, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. L. W. White at
Woodbine, la., another of Dakota
county's pioneer citizens passes to
the other world.
Mr. Wood was born in Delaware
county, N. Y., March 8, 1831, and
comes of that sturdy, reliable stock
that inarch hand in hand with pro
gress and prosperity. In 1858 he
came to Dakota county, and purchas
ed a one-third interest in the Dakota
City factory, a thriving industry at
that time. He pre-empted a piece
of land southwest of Dakata City
which he afterward sold to D. C.
Dibble. He then purchased the
place between here and Jackson,
which for years was the family
home. He returned to New York
in the early Go's and resided at
Franklin for a few years, again com
ing to Nebraska in 18G8, where he
continued to live until the last year
when he and Mrs. Wood took up
their homo with their daughter in
Woodbine, la.
By hard work and good manage
ment Mr. Wood had accumulated
considerable property in Dakota
county, and it was men like him that
developed this locality and made it
one of the most productive spots in
the state.
Mr. Wood is survived by his widow,
one daughter -Mrs. L. W. White,
of Woonbine, la., and one son Fred
A. Wood, of Dakota City, Neb.
Funeral services were held at the
daughter's homo in Woodbine, and
the remains were taken to the old
family home at Franklin, N. Y., for
interment. Fred A. Wood accom
panied the body to its final resting
place.
Boy Scout Notes
Wo have decided to enroll a new
patrol at once. There arc quite a
few boys who have just turned
twelve or are within a few months
of that age. Any boys wishing to
join must attend the regular meet
ing Thursday of this week nt 7 p. m.
The only expense absolutely neces
sary is the regular dues of 10 cents
a month. This covers registration
fee at New York, badges and nlso
local expenses. A uniform is not es
sential but may bo purchased if de
sired. It is particularly asked that
parents do not buy uniforms for tho
boys but encourage them to earn
the money themselves. This helps
us in one of the chief things we try
to teach that a scout is self reliant.
The boys who have been in the work
since the local troop was 'organized
will assist in training the new patrol.
It is hoped to make good use of the
next few months so that in event of
a change of Scout Master next Sep
tember the boys will be far enough
advanced to care temporarily for
themselves.
We think that anyone with his
head screwed on the right way would
see the absurdity of some talk that
is going about that the government
will use the scouts in the war. Of
all drivelling nonsense that is the
very limit. The boys are doing a
noble part in the war by selling over
twenty-two million dollars worth of
the first liberty bonds, and selling
over one hundred million dollars
worth of the second bonds, in help
ing the Committee on Public Infor
mation distribute government pub
lications on the war, in assisting
with the Baby Bonds, in helping the
Red Cross in every way, but to talk
of sending these twelve to sixteen
vear old boys to "ar well there is
a nice little inst.. ition at Norfolk
which ought to have more occu
pants! The sole purpose of the Boy
Scouts of America is to make a race
of strong, clean, upright men who
will be a credit to America under
any possible condition. Yet some
parents keep the boys away.
F J. Aucock, Scout Master.
Mrs. Henry Runge
