Miss Dora Morton, who has so

A High Priced Team
On Monday E. E. Moore sold
probably the highest priced team
of draft horses ever sold in Ne
maha county. G. W. Hawxby
was the purchaser, paying .$525
for them. Ed says he didn't
care about selling them, and
didn't suppose when he priced
them that Will would pay it, but
the latter thought the team
worth the price. They are bay
mares eight years old.
F. L. "Woodward has had tko
brush taken oft the low hillside
south of the road to the depot
and had it sowed to bluegrass.
He has also had the lots north of
Mrs. Wcddle's home sowed to
grass. He will have a good
fence made from the alley east of
tj1G iiVery barn to the Burlington
right,of.way when tho blue.
grass gets to growing on this
hillside it will make a beautiful
place out of what has been an
eyesore.
Some one stole a number J
paint brushes out of C. A. Cur
. smke house, probably Mon
day night, as he missed them
Tuesday. They were almost
new and were worth about $5.
There is so little stealing in Ne
maha that people do not lock up
everything as they do in most
places, consequently when a per
son starts out to steal he doesn't
as a rule have to break locks to
get in. It might be well to be
more careful.
A little after 5 o'clock Wednes
day morning Mrs. Rebecca Col
lins discovered fire dropping from
the ceiling of the kitchen, as she
was getting breakfast. She im
mediately gave the alarm and
Jim, who was at the barn, ran to
the house and with the help of
two or three neighbors and a
liberal supply of water soon had
the fire out. In the meantime
Eddie Yackley had jumped on a
horse and rode down town, giv
ing the alarm, but the fire was
out before many arrived. The
fire had caught from sparks
lighting on the dry shingles near
the eaves, and had burned
through shingles, sheeting and
ceiling. The damage was only
about $3, but if there had been
much wind the house would
probably have burned.
