TO .i i :ci: HOW AHl
Ord JournHl:
Saturday the daily papers told of
Governor Neville being out of the
slate on nn official errand at Wash
ington. Of course that meant that
Ueutenant Governor Howard was
the acting governor during the ab
sence of Mr. Neville. C. W. Pool
and G. L. Shumway were at the of
kfice of County Treasurer Tolen and
someone suggested that it would be I
lever to send a telegram of congrat
ulations to Gov. Howard. The fol
lowing message was sent:
"Congratulations on your ascend
ancy to the gubernational chair. The
country is now safe. The flags of
Ord are waving in patriotic saluta
tion to their new chief. No friends
to reward and no enemies to punish.
Signed: A. W. Bell. W. A. Barllett.
Irl D. Tolen. H. U CuBhing. A. Nor
man, George Munn, L. R. Bright, C.
W. Pool. G. L. Shumway and Horace
M. Davis."
The telegram has an added mean
ing in view of the persistent rumors
that the governor may resign his
high office to accept the colonelcy of
the new Sixth regiment, in which
vent Governor Howard would be his
successor.

OF AN AlilKN FIGHT
Custer County Republican:
John Fentrohs from the German
valley in Blaine county ts tn Jail in
Lincoln after being arrested by Unit
ed States Marshal Carroll. He is de
tained by order of the president for
;-n ulleged attack on a loyal Ameri
can citizen in the person of Walter
Blake who lives on his father's farm
.some distance from Dunning. He
vaa enticed to the Dunning postofllce
to call for a fake registered letter,
eeized and taken miles into the coun
try, beaten with clubs, painted with
turpentine nil because he was a loy
..I American citizen and had stated
that he would join the army.
Last week Fentrohs was arrested
iifler the United States marshal had
received the following telegram from
Washington.
"By order of the president of the
United States and acting under the
proclamation and regulations as to
alien enemies issued April fi, 1917,
yo.i ave ordered to arrest and detain
thiu the United States marshal at
tue usual place of confinement in
your district the following German
alien enemy on the ground that his
presence in your district at large is
to the danger of the public peace
and safety of the United States, John
Fentrohs. Such person shall be held
until further order of the president."
Fentrohs is the leader of a gang
o' five who took Blake out. The
Blake family live in a settlement of
Germans known as the German val
ley and It is said that they are
strongly pro-German. The Illake
family, though, have always express
ed a loyal American sentiment, be
ing one of the few. Young Blake,
while of German descent, ts a loyal
American and was talking for Amer
ica, which it is said was the reason
that the German sympathizers seized
him. Fentrohs Is a farm hand, twenty-six
years old and has been a sail
or for several years, having traveled
over the world. He was born in Ger
many. In the case of an alien enemy the
United States does not give them a
trial but holds them until their re
lease is ordered by the government.
Some of those arrested as enemies
change their opinions and profess to
be loyal and patriotic in thir re
marks. But the statement is made
that they should think of that before
they took their first stand. There is
possibility that they will be deported
from the country after the war as
undesirable citizens.
For some time it has been claimed
that there was not an American flag
on the court house in Blaine county
for the reason that there was such a
sentiment against America in the
German valley that the county offic
ers thought best to have peace and
no flag. Whether this is still true
and whether this sentiment in the
vallev will continue are hearsay.

THKY THOUGHT THK.Y
SAW AN AIHPLAM
Custer County Chief
An aeroplane making a midnight
pilgrimage along the line of the Dur
liiigton road is what some people
thought they saw one night during
the latter part of last week. It ap
peared to have been seen first in the
vicinity of Broken Bow when No. 41
arrived and Operator Itaglan had his
attention attracted by some ladies
who claimed they had been watching
it for fjften or twenty minutes. All
the operator saw was something that
looked like a search light and it ap
peared to be following the train. He
stated, however, that the women told
him they had seen the outline of the
machine. Merna was communicated
with and the operator was told that
the light had also been seen there.
People at Anselmo claim they saw
something that was thought to be a
flying machine. It might have been
because all ships are no novelties
these days but the chances are it
was an illuminated balloon left over
from the Fourth and the people who
saw it were getting the benefit of
some extra fireworks. Or, it might
have been one of the army balloons
from Fort Omaha as most of the
trips from there are made by night.
This last is a sound suggestion and
there might be something to It.
