SAMARDICK AND' CREW BACK FRAM FRUITFUL 760-MILE TRIP IN STATE Robert Samardick and a bunch of assisants drove into O’Neill last Fri day about noon and picked up five residents whom he charged with frac turing the prohibition law. Consider able speculation- was rife as to who and how many would be caught in the dtag-net at this time. Those who were picked up gave bonds to appear in Norfolk before the commissioner when called, which will perhaps be some time next week. The following account of the raid was published in the Omaha Bee of March 31st and tells the story: "Follow the Swallow was a popu lar tune in Lynch, Nebraska, till,last Saturday night, when Federal Prohi bition Commander Bob Samardick and his men swooped down there and gathered in Frank Michaelson and Archie Pearsall. They stowed them with malefactors from many other towns in the jail at O’Neill till the jail nearly overflowed. “We have reason to believe that one Swallow made dozens drunk,” said Bob, Monday, on his return from the hard trip. He and his agents and deputy state sheriffs, in two cars, went out of Omaha last Thursday night, covered 760 miles, arrested 26 men and women charged with liquor law violations in 11 towns and return ed to Omaha, all in about 60 hours. They slept but little. Patrick J. Connolly, serving on a jury in district court, was one of five men arrested at O'Neill. The others were William Pinkerman, Frank Sum mers, Leo F. Bazelman and Arthur Wyant. At Star they gathered in Floyd Crawford and left a warrant for the arrest of his good wife, Mary, who was absent from the domicille. Roy and William Olds were other Star citizens who received notice from Un cle Sam. Near Naper, on a farm, two broth ers, Gilbert and Leo Biele, were arous ed from the hay at 11:30. Their aged father protested he could not spare them from farm work. It was their first offense, anyway, so Samardick took them to Butte, roused the judge and attorney from their beds. They lighted up the courthouse, the two men were arraigned, pleaded guilty and were fined $200 each. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith, of Knoxville, Mrs. Rose Barett and George Janecek, of Atkinson, Lee Mc Coy, Eugene Dollarhide and Gray Hoffman, of Stuart; Thomas Strong, of Emmet; C. P. Gallon, of Bartlett, and Mark McClehn, of Ewing, were in the liquor register. At Elgin also were found Frank Stoltz and Frank Webb, the latter 79 years old. Because of his age, Sa mardick did not arrest him but or dered him to present himself before the United States commissiner in Nor folk to answer the charge. CARD OF THANKS.

IHaipham Brothers Company Uncslrt, Nebraska ■■■■■■■■■ “Ain’t Nature Wonderful” By “UNCLE PETE,” O’Neill, Nebraska. (Courtesy St. Louis Post Dispatch.) O’Neill, Nebraska. Doc Wilkinson, president of the Beaver Flats Game Protective Asso ciation, is confined to his residence in the Flats, suffering from a severe scalp would received when a crow dropped a rock on his head while mem bers of the association were engaged in a crow hunt along Bloody Creek, just above its junction with the Cala mas River, last Sunday. Several other members of the club are carry ing bruises and contusions similarly sustained on the same hunt when the crows, driven to desperation, retalia ted on the hunters who are waging a war of extermination against them in an effort to protect the game birds of the Calamas Valley. The game protective association has been engaged in warring on the numerous crows inhabiting the section for several years, but only succeeded recently in locating the rookery, or homing roost, of the pests, which is situated on Bloody Creek. Scouts reported the rookery to be the home of thousands of the birds, which flew into it every evening and which left it at dawn every morning to prey upon the country for miles around. The several flyways through the hills bordering the valley were located and last Sunday the entire membership of the club lay in ambush along the fly ways and began slaughtering the. birds ns they came in during the early hours of the eventm*. The heavy bombardment crestac panic among the birds for a time; hmt soon several of the older ones axw. leaders of the flock, after a confaii over on the rock-strewn banks of Calamas, flew back toward the roofconr carrying pebbles the size of a walraag and larger. Flying high over tX* hunters and well out of range of fie* shotguns, they dropped the pefabte among the ranks of the hunters, job* as Gen. Mitchell bombs a battlesfcijt and scoring numerous hits. Dropped from a height of severaf thousand feet, the missils gained a high velocity before reaching tfew» • targets and would have inflicted 1 wounds had it not been for the hea*vjr caps and clothing of the hunters: Other members of the enormous ffcnjfc of crows were quick to emulate tfc* examples of their leaders and tfar*. fleeing hunters were pursued far several miles from the rookery by re- - liefs of the feathered warriors. Since the battle of last Sunday, ©. has not been safe for a gun bearer to enter the territory, the sight erf m hunter afoot and with a gun being ifa* signal for a rallying caw and a hurra* onslaughter by the bombing battalion. Members of the game protective mm ciation are armouring the tops of tifasr automobiles and again will invader thar vicinity of the rookery within the num. future.
