for oil near Basset, and he says that
he is convinced that oil will be found
there in paying quantities. In fact
he says that he is positive that there
is as much oil in Nebraska as there is
in any of the great oil producing
states.
T. V. Golden returned last Tuesday
evening from a visit to Rochester,
Minn., where he consulted the famous
Mayo Brothers. Mr. Golden has not
been feeling well the past three or
four months and lost about fifty
pounds in weight iq that time but an
examination revealed the fact that he
was in the pink of condition and that
his loss in weight was not due to any
serious ailment.
The case of Leybolt & Wickstrom
vs. William Luben, jr., was tried in
chanty court Tuesday. The plaintiff

of hay on contract and paid down $150
and that defendant had failed to de
liver the hay and they brought suit to
collect $650. In the trial of the case
it came out that they were suing the
wrong man, as it was not William
Luben that had made the contract and
the case was dismissed.
The Chicago White Sox are the
world’s champion base ball team, hav
ing won the title by taking the last
two games from the New York Giants,
winning the game last Saturday at
Chicago with a score of 8 to 5 and
again trimming the Giants on their
own diamond last Monday with a score
of 4 to 2. The American League
teams have been winning the base
ball classic pretty regularly the past
dozen years and it begins to look as
if the junior league was the fastest
oganization.
Arthur Ryan and Tom Enright have
been farming the past week, digging
their potatoe crop. Last spring they
furnished the seed and Pat Welsh
planted the spuds and took care of
them and the boys split the proceeds,
fiffty-fifty. They finished harvesting
Wednesday and secured a little over
600 bushel of potatoes off of the four
acres. Pat Welsh had some of the
potatoes in town Tuesday and they
were as fine looking potatoes as we
have ever seen, clean and nice and
weighing a pound each. The high
cost of “spuds” will not bother Art,
Tom or Pat for the next year.
Roy DeMontague, who broke into
I Casper Englehaupt’s store at Emmet
| last week, was arrested at Oakdale
i and brought back to this city. Mon
I day he appeared in district court,
I plead guilty to burglary and was
| sentenced by Judge Dickson to an in
! determinate term of from three to
| twenty years in the penitentiary and
1 was taken to Lincoln by Sheriff Duffy
I Tuesday morning. A week ago Sunday
1 night he broke into the store and
1 stole about $80 worth of clothing and
| $6.00 in cash that was in the money
| drawer. He will have plenty of time
1 at Lincoln to repent of his wayward
! ness.
| The Omaha Printing Company, of
| Omaha, has filed suit in the district
1 court of Holt county against the
| County of Holt to collect the sum of
| $488.50 for furniture purchased by a
1 couple of members of the county
g board from the plaintiff last Decem
| ber. The bill for the furniture was
| filed on February 26, 1917, and it was
1 rejected by the county board on Sep
| tember 10, 1917. The board alleges
gj that the members of the board, who
1 purchased the furniture, had no
2 authority to purchase it and for that
reason the claim was rejected. The
furniture was received by the county
and is now in use in several county
offices.
Inman Leader: A prairie fire which
started on section fifteen about 11
o’clock Wednesday forenoon burned
four stacks of hay and swept quite a
stretch of meadow before the blaze
was brought under control. One stack
belonged to Geo. Kivert and three
stacks to C. C. Chase. The fire origi
nated on the open meadow within a
short distance of two bailing crews
which were at work at the time. A
heavy wind was blowing from the south
and before the men could reach the
scene of the fire the wind had whipped
it into a regular rampage whch re
quired the combined efforts of the
entire'neighborhood and a large force
of volunteers from Inman. The fire
burned pretty close to the Ellsworth
farm residence, but by back firing^ the
course was changed. Probably a strip
two miles long was burned and where
the hay stacks were pretty well scat
tered. The total loss will amount to
about $400 at the present price of hay.
A special election was held in the
state of Iowa last Monday, the state
voting on a prohibition amendment to
the constitution. A very heavy vote
was cast, much greater than was ex
pected and from the last returns it
appears as if the amendment was de
feated. According to the Sioux City
Tribune ' the figures, compiled at 2
o’clock Wednesday giving a majority
of 3,390 for the wets, were as follows:
For the amendment 206,659, and 210,
049 against the amendment. Practi
cally all the larger cities in the
state, except Des Moines, gave large
majorities against the amendment, the
capital city voting dry by about 1,100.
The defeating of the amendment does
not make the state wet, as it is now
dry by legislative enactment and will
be dry until the present law is re
pealed and that can not be done until
the next legislature meets. The ap
parent victory for the wets is a gregt
surprise as it was confidently pre
dicted that Iowa, which has for years
contained great dry sentiment, would
be overwhelmingly dry, in fact prior
to the election it was claimed by the
drys with a majority of 100,000.
Now that Uncle Sam has the young

arrangements will be made to have an
examination held at any accessible
piece where a small class of applicants
can be secured. The entrance sal
aries range from $1,000 to $1,200 a
year. Promotion is reasqnably Vapid
to those whose services prove satis
factory. Ao appointments can be
made to these or other positions in
the Federal classified civil service un
less authorized by the Civil Service
Commission under the civil servee
law. Any information to the con
trary is unauthorized. This is a
splendid opportunity to serve your
country. Full information may be
secured from the secretary of the
board of civil service examiners at the
post office in your city.
