This Is u good quarter of liny land only four miles from this city. Lease rental can ho paid out of crop by right party. Seo Hit ATT. GOODMAN & RUCKLEV. Allen Properly to be Sold. Yesterday tho U. S. senate approved legislation authorizing the sale of nil alien property In the United Stated. This property, it is said, will amount to (billions of dollars. This will per manently uproot Gorman commercial influence In this country, and is one of tho worst blows that could have been struck at Germany. The president is auithorliied to acquire title to tho Ger man steamship companies' docks at Hoboken, N. J. The money received from the sale of this vast property Interests of the Germans will be added to the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. Enemy property 'within tho mean ing of tho law is property owned in an encmjN country and logical assurances have been given that there is no in tention to interfere with the property or money of Germans or Austrlans living in this country. The purposo is to sever forevor the hold of Germans in Germany upon vast commercial and industrial enterprises in the United States which have been closely con nected with the kaiser's government, and prevent their serving a3 outposts of the Teutonic movement for world domination. John llarshflold.'who llvos on Ulrd wood creek, twenty miles north of Sutherland, 1ms boon cited to nppoar boforo tho State Council of Dofono at Lincoln next Thursday. The subjoonn was served on llorsh Hold yetsorday afternoon by Sheriff Salisbury. Forsovornl njonths pat It hns been roported that Hnrshlleld has been guilty of making unpatriotic rcuuirkw regarding tho government, the war, the prusidont nnd tho cabinet officers as well as congross. ' Some of tho re marks attributed to him nro vile, and if ho is guilty as charged ho should be made to Buffer. It Is further stated that Harshdeld has defied arrest, and has mado threats of what ho would do should any one attempt to place him undor arrest, intimating that he is at all times well armed. Sheriff Salisbury's mission was simply to servo notice on Hnrshlleld to appear at Lincoln, not to arrest him. Whether Harshdeld will defy tho ordor of the State Council of Defense remains to be seen.
