From Bridgeport News-Blade:
Robert Morgan, who stabbed and
killed Otto Hansen at Bry..rd on Jan
uary 4. 1918. is b"ing held in jail
awaiting his trial in the term of dis
trict eourt that convenes next week.
It will be rememberd that Hansen
entered the restaurant of Morgan on
January 4, and it is said that Hansen
was intoxicated. He started trouble
and broke some glass in the place. A
lady was with Hansen, and she paid
Morgan for the broken glass in order
to avoid futher trouble. Hansen
went bnck to the restaurant later, ac
cording to report, and aga'n started
to abuse Morgan, who was behind the
counter. Morgan picked up a butch
er knife, or bread knife, and struck
up under Hansen's left arm, the
blade entering under the back of the
shoulder. Morgan then grabbed Han
sen and threw him out of the back
door. It is said that Hansen tried to
enter the place again after he was
stabbed, in order to continue the
fight. A charge of murder in the
first degree has been lodged against
Morgan, but under his charge he
can be convicted for a lesser offence
even down to assault and battery.
that time we have never spoken a
word derogatory of woman's suffrage,
and it might prove a good thing If
there should be a stronger represen
tation of it in many of our public institutions.
SOME ALLIANCE HISTORY
Antioch News:
Many years ago when Alliance was
a pretentious youngster among cities
of the northwest, men sought and se
cured OHmbership on the school
board for the prominence it gave
them as the most learned scholars
among their associates. It mattered
but little whether they ever read a
paper or a book or ever wrote a let
ter, the name of being a member of
the school board was considered an
educational distinction and aside
from erecting a school building and
employing teachers upon recomenda
tion of friends, very little time was
devoted to the school. In time it oc
curred to some of the citizens that
perhaps a little pep might be put into
the school by electing women on the
board, and Mrs. D. 0. Mclntyre, wife
of Road master Mclntyre, and Mrs.
Golden, wife of the United Presby
terian minister were slated for the
honor. It is a matter of history that
those two ladies performed more af
fective and lasting work for the edu
cational interests of Alliance than
that performed by all the men put to
gether up to that ime. and he ex
ample set by them has since served as
a valuable inspiration to members of
subsequent boards for that city. They
have long since removed from this
part of the country, but the spirit of
their work yet lives and may be ob
served each summer on the beautiful
grounds'surounding the buildings a
mid the trees and shrubbery. Since
QUI A VUi AND SOME CHICKENS
OraSt County Tribune:
Necessity for producing more Beat
if we are to properly feed our light
ing boys and contribute to commis
sary of our allies in tne great war,
has side-stepped many a village or
dinance within the past few months.
Instead of forbidding chickens and
pigs to be kept within the corporate
limits of our cities and villages, res
idents are being urged to keep a few
of both, and by so doing lessen the
drain on the open market for meats.
A few hens and a pig can be kept on
the back end of the lot off the main
street without in any way interfer
ing with the sanitary part of the
city's health program or being es
pecially annoying to neighbors, pro
vided a little common sense is mixed
in with the keeping. To clear the
coast of any legal restrictions that
a few "cranks" might want to resort
to as a means of "playing even" with
some one he don't like, a great many
towns have repealed that portion
of their ordinance which has hereto
fore dealt with the keeping of live
stock within the city limits. But
with Uncle Sam behind the move,
keep a pig and a few chickens, there
is little danger thai village boards
are going to oppose It.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Crawford Tribune:
On Monday, while Dr. R. L. Irvins
and Elmer E. Lesh were going to the
Lean ranch by auto, and when Hear
ing the Whitei river bridge near Fort
Robinson, thew saw Sergt. Howard

ped their car so as not to frighten
the team coming toward them, but
When the horses came near they be
came frightened and 'in trying to
quiet them the driver apparently pul
ed one line wilh more force than the
other, which caused the buggy to tip,
throwing Mrs. Howard to the ground
causing the fracture of ti bone in her
right leg, between The knee and hip
joints. Mr. Howard jumped from
the buggy to assist his wife, but sus
tained no injury. Mrs. Ben3on re
mained in the buggy and alno escaped
injury. Dr. Irvins and Mr. Le3h
drove their car to the Fort Robinson
Hospital and after securing a stretch

on the stretcher and brought her to
Crawford in the auto. She is under
the care of Dr. Irvins and doing a3

meeting man'a deepest neeS.
This Is one of the most dramatic,
spectacular Incidents recorded In the
Bible. It Is a good Illustration fot
Sunday School teachers on how to tell
a story by Imagining what one would
naturally do. We ought to have out
scholars see with their imagination,
the story of this lesson as though they
were eye-witnesses of the whole scene.
The time was about May or June A. D,
28, the second year of Jesus' ministry,
a few weeks following the last lesson,
during which time he had been preach
ing and healing in the surrounding
country.
I. Introduction. Jesus could testify
in a home as well as before the multi
tudes. Indeed it was after having tes
tified in the home (v. I.) that the
crowds gathered about the doorway,
for It was not known that he was there,
until some days after he had been In
the house. Luke tells us that the
crowds which came, came not only
from Galilee but Judeu and even Je
rusalem. Jesus did his work so well
in the home that wherever he was, the
world wore a path to his doorway. No
tice verse two; when the crowd gath
ered about, he spoke unto them "the
word." In tills we see a parable.
Many a successful man, when he be
comes popular, forgets to preach the
pure Gospel, the Word of Life.
II. An Impelling Need (vv. 8:4).
This man who hud paralysis, I. e., dis
abled on one side, was not only de
prived of his sensation but his power
of motion. As to the cuuse of his diffi
culty, his previous character of life,
there is no word of suggestion. We seu
abundant evidence today, however, to
know that many such cases ure the
results of our own debaucheries and
one would gather from the course
which Jesus pursued with this man
that perhaps his case was likewise the
result of his early sin. The teacher
might well read In this connection
Luke 16:11-19. Of course, this man
may not have been a prodigal son,
Nevertheless, he had as much suffer
ing as though he had been and as far
as he himself wus concerned, he was
helpless, a picture of all sinners. He,
however, had friends, very enterpris
ing ones. And so putting him upon the
double quilt or coverlet, which could be
rolled together in a bundle of moderate
size, they carried him into the pres
ence of the master.
III. Jesus Forgives and Defends Hli
Rights (vv. 5:12). The crowd was so
great about the house that "they could
not come nigh unto him for the press."
They were not, however, discouraged;
but leaving the crowd, they went up
the usual outside stairs, bearing the
sick man with them unto the root
which "they uncovered" literally they
dug through the fiat roof made of
branches and twigs and covered with
earth, and which could be us easily re
paired. Travelers In eastern countries
have often seen a slmllur act perform
ed even In this day. They then lei
down the bed or mattress by the four
corners. The roof was so low that
no cords were needed and those below
received the man from the hands of
the four upon the roof and placed him
(n front of Jesus. Jesus commends
"their deed" as indicated In all three
of the Gospel records. Not alone phys
ical obstacles had to be overcome, but
the attitude of the scribes (v. 7). Wag
It right, was It honest to break through
the roof of a man's house T Would
they make It good? Was the owner
glad to hsve had It done? Jesus did
dot hesitate or speculate over such
Questions, bnt goes at once to the Issue
and said to the man sick of the palsy,
"Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be
(are) forgiven thee." See Matthew's
and Mark's account. "Son," Is a word
of endearment; the word Mbe" Is not
ss strong In the old form as the word
"are" forgiven. Jesus went at ones
to the unhealed wound In the soul, the
sense of unforglven sin. Forgiveness
Is not of the judge who sentences ot
guilty," but a father who welcomes
and restores one to sonshlp. It Is res
toration to life. The Bible story ol
the prodigal son sad that scene pic
tured In the seventh chapter of Luke,
the feast where Jesus dealt with s
woman of the city, who ministers unto
him, sre good Illustrations of the mas
ter's attitude of mind on this occasion,
The scribes charged blasphemy which
la to slander God and speak treason
against him. Blasphemy Is practical
ly uttered treason. lie perceived theli
Inmost thoughts snd answered them
(v. 9). To forgive sin, or to com
mand the man to rise were both di
vine acts ; he could do either ; be prov
ed one by the use of the other. His
command to the young man to taka
up his bed was a test to be proved by
the man's faith. Thst the cure was
complete we know, for be immediate
ly arose, ""o "arise" wss a physics
Impossibility ; to ' lake up bis bed"
permitted no relapse.
