Weekes returned home last Saturday evening, from Washington, D. C., where he had been for the past three weeks looking after the estate of the late Congressman _M. P. Kin kaid. By reason of the arbitrary ac tion of a Trust Co., in Washington, with whom Judge Kinkaid had an ac count and other property in a safe deposit box, which they refused to de liver, Mr. Weekes was compelled to go into court with ancillary probate proceedings and be appointed Admin istrator in the District of Columbia as well as Nebraska. Other banks in Washington and the federal govern ment transferred the Judge’s property without question, on the certificate from the Probate Court of Holt county. This, the Munsey Trust Co., refused to do and by reason of their action necessitated a double admin istration of Judge Kinkaid’s estate. Mr. Weekes states that , while in Washington, he called the attention of a number of congressmen to this ap parent injustice and several of them indicated their intention of introduc ing legislation looking to the elim ination of this sort of practice in the District of Columbia. No will was found among the Judge’s effects in Washington and it seems now quite apparent that no will was made. In the absence of a will the estate will be divided among the heirs in accordance with the law of descent of the State of Nebraska. The estate, much of which is of doubt ful value, is very much scattered, be ing located in Canada, Old Mexico and ten different states in the union. HORSE AND BUGGY DEMOLISHED BY CAR i Another of those lucky accidents occurred about one-half mile north of the fair grounds Saturday evening between eight and nine o’clock, when a Ford car driven by Lew Morris, ac companied by his wife and Bernard Bay, ran into a horse and buggy own ed by Mr. Morrow, who resides three miles northeast of town. In the buggy were Cecil and Leonard Morrow, George Hanley and Cletus Sullivan, who were coming to town. The boys, it appears, were partly in the ditch on the west side of the road in their en deavor to get out of the way of the coming car. The driver of the car failed to see the horse i”.d buggy in time to avert the accident. The boys jumped from the buggy r.r 1 were un injured, the horse received a badly broken leg and was later shot. The buggy was demolished. ART WYANT’S AUTO BURNED TUESDAY NIGHT One of the cars used by Art Wyant on the mail route caught on fire Tues day evening and was burned beyond servicability. The accident occurred near the fair ground. A defective ex haust pipe is given as the cause for the fire. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the many kindnesses shown Alfred Abart dur ing his late illness and death, and foi many acts of sympthy shown us. Mrs. J. L. Crawford and family. Miss Kamille Uhl went to Stafford Tuesday to visit Miss Bowman. Today is the hottest day that has been known in this part of the country for a number of years. The thermometer registered 106 in the shade this afternoon. Thursday oi last week was the next hottest day that has been recorded here when the mercury went to 103, LINEMAN SCOFIELD RECEIVES 1200 VOLTS Hanging in midair with one hand holding onto a trunk wire and the other holding a ground wire caus ing a current of 1200 volts of elec tricity to pass through his body was the unenjoyable predicament that be fell Lineman Scofield while working on the electric light company’s lines in the northeast part of town last Fri day. Scofield thoughtlessly took hold of the ground wire while adjusting himself for the purpose of making a connection. He remained in this sus pended position until the current pass ing through his body reduced the power enough so that his weight pulled his hands from the wires and ne fell to the ground sustaining a slight in jury to his leg, but otherwise unhurt. AN OLD RELIC OF LINCOLN’S TIME S. J. Weekes of this city, while In Washington recently, took occasion to visit and see many places and things of historic interest. While standing in ‘the bedroom where President Lincoln died after be ing shot in the Ford Theatre, Mr. Weekes was impressed by a unique sale bill which hung upon the wall of this room. This sale bill was not a description of chatties in the modern sence, but a sale of human beings. It is difficult for this generation to realize that such a corfdition could ex ist so short a time ago. It so im pressed Mr. Weekes that he made a copy of the sale bill in full which is as follows: . D.. _i.l_ „ T7i._ cutor of the late Dr. J. W. Schmidt, by Alonzo' J. White. On Tuesday, the 17th day of January, 1854—at the North of the Custom House at 11 o’clock, will be sold the families, the following entire gang of 101 Prime Negroes. “Conditions: One third cash, bal ance three equal installments, with in terest from date of sale, payable an nually, secured by Bonds and mort gages of property sold, and approved personal security. Purchaser to pay for requisite papers.” A description of each of the 101 negroes follows in families of from three to eight each.. “No. 1 described as Kate—Old nurse—age 75. “No. 57 described as Witty Bill (left thumb off) age 60. “No. 85 described as Joe—(a car penter, ruptured) age 50.” Among the list are five infants under twelve months of age. On the same wall hangs a “Negro Market Letter” dated at Richmond, September 15, 1857, quoting the prices for negroes, which prices run from $500 to $1,550. The low price of $500 is on four girls four years old. The top quotation of $1,550 is for an ‘.Extra Man.” NOTES FROM THE NORTHEAST. (Continued from page four.) cent of the com crop in this part of the county. This vicinity was represented at the ball game at Lynch recently. It was well attended and a real game. The score: Lynch 2, all Nationals 8. The Wertz farm added three regis tered Aberdeen Angus cattle to their herd recently; purchasing them at Fullerton, Nebraska. Haying weather conductive for the work, and those interested are making good use of the time, judging by the number of stacks on the hay meadows. A. C. Mohr and two daughters, of Spencer, Nebraska, were visiting in this part of the country Saturday, re turning to Spencer Tuesday. Mr. Mohr is remembered by the old set tlers, having filed on land in 1878. He was the Hainsville postmaster for several years. Dissatisfaction appears to be gen eral with the existing condition rel ative to service on two of the local telephone lines. The difficulty being the connection between the lines. The matter has been referred to the Rail way Commission and no doubt will be settled satisfactory to all concerned. SPRING VALLEY. — These hot days are drying up the corn very rapidly. Chas. Downey, of O’Neill, was in this vicinity last week. Hay is of extra good quality this year but is not so plentiful as in for mer years. Cooler Tuesday evening and we be gan to wonder what we had done with our summer’s wages. A son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Blain, who has been in the navy for some time, is home on a visit. The Antelope slough is a very busy place these days. New residences (tents) springing up in a day. Hay ing crews are the occupants. From the Venus item of last week we learn that Wm. West was called to LaPorte, Colorado, to attend the funeral of one of his brothers. We knew him as a good and kind neighbor. A large crowd is reported at the Wm. Anderson dance Saturday night. Generally speaking there is about two girls to one boy at most of the dances but the conditions seem to have been reversed Saturday night according to reports. Wayne Leonard, who has been stay ing with his uncle near Chambers for the past year and attending school, stopped at the M. A. Summers ranch recently, on his way to his home at Parker, South Dakota. He is making the trip on horseback. Louise Shenoest, of Creighton, was a visitor at the Summer’s home Sun day. He lost his coat coming over but an honest neighbor found it. He re turned home after the ball game be tween Venus and Creighton, with a good opinion of our people. Venus won the ball game. Potatoes •potatoes everywhere. That’s good for the farmers who hjive to buy their potatoes, and many of them have done so during the past two years. That is extremely bad. During those celebrated dry years many of our neighbors as well as" our selves had plenty of tubers. The Dodd boys built a smudge to keep the mosquitoes away during the warm night. The scheme worked al right until one ni^jht the wind came up and fanned the coals into flames and scattered them around with the result that the tent and contents went up in smoke. The fire was prevented from spreading and no damage was done to the hay meadows. , Mrs. 0. S. Marshall arrived here from Casper, Wyoming, Saturday morning for a visit with her sister, Mrs. M. A. Summers. She is on her way to visit her aged parents who re side at Blair, Nebraska. She will visit in Orchard while here. Mrs. Sum mers is expecting a visit soon from another sister who also lives in Wy oming and who was responsible for the capture of the notorious “chain man,” Fred Brown, who occupied the front pages of the newspapers for several weeks this spring.
