DISASTROUS FIRE WORKS
HAYOC AT THEDFORD
Hyannis Tribune:
At about 1 o'clock Sunday morn
ing fire was discovered In the Hynd
shaw livery barn at Thodford, which
rapidly spread to the Thedford gar
Jage, (he Leper residence, Bauder's
j barber shop and Thedford restaurant
and then swung around the corner to
'J. H. Figard's merchandise store, de-
Straying this entire block and entail
jlng a property loss of between $30,-
000 and $40,000.
The large amount of oil and gano-
line stored in the Thodford garage
exploded from Umi to time, shooting
columns of flame hundreds of foot
into the air and driving the fire fight
ers back from the flames and forcing
the occupants of other buildings to
flee.
The occupants of the several build
ings destroyed being awakened by
shouts of the fire fighters and explos
ions ran half dressed to shelter amid
a roaring gale and snowstorm. Eight
head of horses in (he llvory barn
were burned to death, and a number
were saved with great risk to the
fire fighters.
All the glass fronts on the opposite
side of the street were broken In by
the intense heat and successive ex

STOLZ RELEASED BY
LINCOLN HALL CLUB
ScoUsbluff Republican:
"Lefty" Stolz, who pitched for the
ScoUsbluff baseball team laat sum
mer, and who has been trying out
with the Western League at Lincoln
under Ducky Holmes, seems to be a
little too wild with his delivery to
suit Boss Ducky, as will be seen by
the following article, which wo take
from Tuesday's State Journal:
"Bosh Ducky has released 'Lefty'
S(olz, huge twirler from ScoUsbluff.
Stolz has every essential but control
BosB Ducky gave the big pitcher a lot
of fatherly advice and "Lefty," if he
follows It, shopld be back In fast
company In ayear. Ducky would
be pleased to carry and develop this
hurler but for the stringent player
limit rules in this loop and but for
the further fact that his staff is al
ready complete. 'Deac' Meyers and
Clifford Hans will bo left at home
Ducky will make an effort to place
this pair. He gives them the high
est sort of praise, but the fact that
both have been troubled with sore
arms, hinders their progress at this
time."
FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT
STAGED AT GLUING
ScoUsbluff Republican:
A free-for-all fight occurred at
Gering Saturday night in the Japan
ese restaurant over there. It seems
that a parly of about a dozen per
sons started to clean out the restau
rant and that as a result the whole
place got n ixed up In the fight. The
sheriff is looking for a Jap who wit
nessed the affair, and whom It WWII
necessary to have before the guilty
ones can be prosecuted. The sheriff
was busy all day yesterday trying to
locate his man, but up to this time,
had been unable to locate him.
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER
TURNED OVER TO SHERIFF
Hay Springs News:
. A man about 4 5 years of age,
whose name we did not learn, has
been wandering around south of
town in the Ed JohanBon, Walgreen
and Ireland district. He wrs brought
to town Saturday morning and de
livered over to the sheriff. From all
appearances he was not of sound
mind. He clnlmod to hp.ve come
from Chadron and to have a sister at
Gordon. He also claimed to be In
search of work, but seemingly had
no dlsponltlon to work, as he made
the same round in the neighborhood
several times and came back to plac
es where he knew work was not to
be had. His stories were so conflict
ing that the parties in the neighbor
hood thought It best to give him ov
er to the authorities for further ex
amination and so as Mr. Housh and
Mr. Sandoz were passing the Johnn
sen place last Saturday morning on
their way to town, he WM induced
to come along w ith them. As it hap
pened Sheriff Bruce was down from
Rushville that morning and took the
man in charge.

he seemed possessed of a mania to
frighten women, at times imr.glned

and when under one of those spells
would brandish a knife or any kind
