Wlllard M. Kvana. hotter known
throughout tins section of Nebraska
as "Colonel" Kvunm has filed a com
plaint in the Juvenile branch of the
county court asserting that a 14-j
year-old lad is incorrigible and asks I
the court to restrain the lad from
molesting the colonel. The parents
of the lad have been summoned to
appear in county court at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning.
Col. Evans, as he is called, has
been having considerable trouble for
some time past It Reams that the
boya are in the habit of calling him
"Bryan", which amounts to the same
thing as shaking a red flag in front
of a mad bull. The colonel has n
habit of chasing the lads with his
crutch and judging from the way he
swings that crutch around, anyone
that is unlucky enough to come in
contact with said crutch is going to
need medical attention.
The boys do bother the old man,
but, in the opinion of the writer, Mr.
EvaiiH places himself In a position,
many times, to receive undue attention.
The second annual convention of
the National Traders' Live Stock Ex
change was held In South Omaha at
the Exchange building Friday and
Sm unlay of last week. The meet
ings were presided over by President
James H. Bulla, who is president of
the Omaha exchange as well as the
national.
After two days of business and
pleasure, during which time Import
ant business was transacted and a
resolution pfiKsed commending Pres
ident Wilson on his stand in the
world war, proposition, and pledging
the support of all members at this
time, the election of officers was :i
compliment to President Bulla and
Charles II. Huntzinger. secretary,
both of whom were re-elected.
Vice presidents were elected as
follows: Frojn Chicago, C. II. Mar
tin; from Sioux City, L. D. Hudson;
from St. Louis. W. H'llilton; from
Kansas City, John B. Reese. After
an Invitation extended by R. S. Mos
ley of Kansas City, fhe next meeting
of the exchange was scheduled for
that place.
Mayor Dahlman's ' address Friday
naturally took a patriotic turn and
it was here the cowboy mayor ap
peared at his best. His tribute to
the live stock interests for theirv
steadfast upholding of the hands of
President Wilson In the present cria
ls met with a hearty response from
his auditors. The president can
count on every man engaged In the
live stock business to do his whole
duty at this time.
Tin annual banquet in the even-
ing on tne root garaen oi me uiacn
stone hotel was a most enjoyable af
fair In every way. Beautiful ap
pointments, a tasty menu, good mu
sic and a paucity of after-dinner
speeches added very materially to the
pleasure of the occasion. The talks
by "Hattie" Block of the Ak-Sar-Ben
board, of governors and of Stock-man-Lawyer
Farrar of Kansas City
furnlahed an agreeable exception to
the rule.
