m uio gamo, as icported by tho Lin
coln Journal i3ro Bakor, Ellas and
Norrls.
Tho North Plattto toam Is light In
weight compared with Lincoln, nnd
this contributed to their defeat. Lin

particular Btar player, largely through
whoso efforts tho gamo was won.
Tlie Bird has Flown.
Contractor Stack's bird of 111 omen
It Is believed has now vanished, hav

a leak and an attempt was made
to bring Lloyd Powers tractor across
tho Hver In order to furnish steam.
Tho. tractor stuck ,ln tho sand from

Moso Can Now Smile.
Mose McFarland and Walter Hoag
land are not the only owners of canine
"death angels," altho they may lay
claim to thatt distinction. There are
some other dogs belonging to "well
known citizens who may not be ablo
to clean up seventy or eighty rabbits
in ono night but they can make short
work of the occupants of tho poultry
yard, Yesterday morning three dogs
succeeded in killing thirty chickens
belonging to Mrs. J.H. Fonda In rec
ord time and the canines evidently en
Joyed the spOrt more than will their
owners" when they pay for the thirty
dead' chickens 'Which they have signi
fied their intention of doing. Mose of
course don't like to hear of any one
having had luck, but ho will bo ex
cused If he smiles when ho learns
this chicken story.
