A day or so after that some one wanted some wagon spokes, but when Hank went after them he found them gone. Sinde then he has missed a bunch of double trees and two plow lays. ' He doesn't know how much stuff the fellow took. It was a pretty bold robbery. Snow was on the ground at the time the door was broken open and Hank noticed men's tracks lead ing to the door, and also tracks of a wagon that had been driven through the alley. He would like to get hold of the guilty fellow for a little while. An old Time Deed While looking through some papers recently F. E.

Mr. and Mrs. O; B. Hill of Sterling, Nebr., came in Friday and visited Mr. Hill's brother, E. E. Hill, in Nemaha, and their sister and mother in Shubert until Monday. The Advertiser last week was mistaken in saying Mr. and Mrs. Joe Harper went to Shubert Thursday evening on the freight. They expected to do so, but stopped at W. H. Barkers fdr supper and Mrs. Barker had such a good supper that Joe tarried at the table so long they missed the train. Pres Barker says he has his opinion of a man that is too slow to catch a freight, even when it is two hours behind time. Hon. V. P. Peabody was dis covered trying to catch a neigh bor's chicken in broad daylight Monday afeernoon, and what made it worse was that the'ehick en belonged to the Methodist minister, Rev. G. W. Ayers, who lives just across the alley. As usual with some men. Mr. Pea body tries to lay it all on his wife. They brought in a chicken from the farm a few days ago. Monday afternoon Mrs. Peabody told her husband, so. he says, that this chicken, which was of the male persuasion, was in Bro. Ayers' chicken yard and was fighting the other chickens, and for him to go over and get the chicken and bring it home. Like an obedient husband, Mr. Pea body climbed over into the chick en yard, caught the chicken, threw it over the fence and was driving it home when Mrs. Ayers came out and told him he was driving her chicken away. Of course Mr. Peabody apologized and explained matters as best he could. He says this" is the first time he has been caught stealing chickens since he came out of the army.
