That s what he thought as he gave

Lincoln Journal, 14: Application
has been made by the Sioux City,
Crystal Lake and Homer railway to
the state commission for permission
to junk, the 3.8 miles of road that It
now maintains. The application re
cites the history of the road, which
has had a number of financial revers
es because of its inability to make
money, and sets up that for the past
three years the receipts have been
$19,513 and the expenses .$12.21
more than that, or $19,525.21. These
sums are insufficient to keep up the
road and operate it with safety. If
properly operated next year, due to
increases in labor, power and "mate
rial, the deficit will be $4,000. Mem
bers of the Howard family who have
been in charge have refused to re
main and have gotten bettor iobs.
and their going will put the road in
the hands or less interested persons.
At one time the company, which op
erated between Sioux City, Crystal
Lake and Dakota City, had a mile or
more of track torn up in the first
named town because the people
claimed it hadn't obeyed the ordi
nances. The company has been
operating a resort at the lake, with
the object of stimulating traffic on
the road, but it was unable to make
this profitable. It says that the road
is parallel by two steam roads,
Crystal lake came into some notoriety
some months ago when agents of the
governor discovered a largo number
or pint bottles of beer and a barrel
of whisky hidden in the lake waters,
but it waB never discovered what
thirsty group had thus sought to as
suage the dryness of their aesophagi.
Prohibition is presumed to be one
reason for the failure of Jthe' Inkcvio
draw well last summer. ' 'J$
Sioux City Journal, 14: Miss Do
ra Anderson, of Jackson, Neb., was

ta City, Neb., with Mrs. Aucock, are
the guests for sevei I days of Dr.
and Mrs. H. E. McKcJo. . . .Thomas
Crosby, a big land owner nnd farm
er of Goodwin, Neb., was on the
market with a two-car shipment of
cattle. Included in the consignment
were fifteen head of grade Hereford
steers that averaged 1,402 pounds
and that sold at $18.30, extreme top
price for the day. The cattle ac
cording to Mr. Crosby, have been on
full feed, corn and alfalfa, since Oc
tober and made a very good gain in
weight. He reports that he and his
neighbors arc well provided for seed
corn this year, as they have sonie of
the 1916 crop left. . . .Mrs. George L.
Boals, a resident of Dakota county
for forty-three years, died at her
home in South Sioux City, on the
11th inst., from heart trouble, fol
lowing an illness of two weeks. She
was'Gl years old. Mrs. Boals was
born in New York in 1857. When
a child she came west with her par
ents, living first in Manchester, la.,
and later in SioUx City. Forty-three
years ago, following her marriage
in Sioux City, she moved to Dakota
county. Neb., where she made her
home on a farm until founteen years

Sioux City Journal 17: Miss Sara
Brown, of Dakota City, Neb., was
operated on at St. Joseph's hospital
yesterday . . . Scrapping of the Crys
tal Lake and Homer electric lino has
been indefinitely postponed, accord
ing to a statement made yesterday
by Riley Howard, who controls the
road. Negotiations for the sale of
the road are under way during the
progress of which no definite plans
for the disposition of it will be made.
Application was made by the owners
6f the road last week asking per
mission of the .Nebraska railway
commission to junk the road, since
it no longer is on a paying basis... .
City officials are too busy with other
questions to investigate the possibili
ty that Sioux City still may retain
the power to fix rates on the Combi
nation bridge, it was announced yes
terday by Mayor R. J. Andrews,
When this proposition was brought
before the council two weeks ago by
Ward Evans, attorney for South
Sioux City, officials announced that
an investigation would be made im
mediately, but election problems ap
parently have driven the bridge
question into the background, it was
asserted. Mayor Andrews also said
that he would take no action on the
question of obtaining a city repre
sentative to replace John A. Magoun
on the board of directors of the
bridge company. Mr. Magoun, who
is said to be financially interested in
the bridge, has been serving as the
city's representative on tho board of
directors. The council exp'ressed
itself as favoring tho appointment
of a disinterested person during the
discussion of bridge questions, altho
it was made plain that no attempt
was being made to impugn in the
slightest degree the attitude of Mr.
Magoun. Nothing definite has yet
been accomplished in Dakota county,
Neb., regarding tho raising of funds
for building a free bridge over the
Missouri. This effort on the part of
residents of. South Sioux City was
the cause of renewed interest in tho
affairs of the Combination bridge on
tho part of the council. Leaders of
the movement for a free bridge are
continuing their attempts to arouse
sufficient public enthusiasm for the
project to make a public bond issue
feasible, Should Dakota county
vote bonds for a new bridge the resi
dents would expect Sioux City to
provide an equal amount, it is said,
as it is asserted that Woodbury
county, nnd especially Sioux City,
would bo as much benefited by a
free span as would the Ncbrasku
county.
Walthill Citizen: One of tho sad
dest accidents that our pen ever
chronicled, happened ' to Mr. and
Mrs. Perry Ping last Friday after
noon as they were coming to Walt
hill from their home five miles north
west of town, in their auto. About
a mile out of town the car, a Chal
mers 40, in some unknown way,
gave a lunge into a ditch closo by
tho road side, the road at that point
being in very poor condition and Mr.
Ping was trying to avoid getting in
to, the bad places. The car turned
completely over pinning the occu
pants underneath it at tho depth of
fifteen teer. As near as could bo as
certained they were in that position
for one-half hour or more, when Mr.
Early happened along and released
Mr. ri ;-, who was bruised and cut
about U.c neck and shoulders. Soon
he had help from tho Sharp children
coming from school and the car was
raised enough to got Mrs. Ping out,
but life was extinct when she was re
moved, she having been thrown face
donwards into the mud and the
heavy car thrown upon her. They
were hurried to Walthill to Dr. Gram
lich's office butMrs. Ping was beyond
the help of human hands and was
taken to tho undertakers rooms
where the body was prepared for
burial. Mr. Ping's wounds were
dressed and ho wa3 able to be on the
street that evening, altho in a very
sore condition. The body was re
moved to tho homo of her sister,
Mrs. Swan Olson, on Saturday await
ing funeral arrangements. The fu
neral services were held at the
