AID ENGINEERS
IN RIVER WORK
Two Nebraska Men Gave
Valuable Assistance to
Army Surveyors
Bridgeport, Neb., (Spe
cial)—Following several weeks of
work in the army engineering of
headquarters at Kansas City, R. H.
Willis of this city, chief of the ir
rigation bureau .and Clark E. Mick
ey, of the Nebraska State univer
sity, were able to assist the en
gineers to such an extent that
they were able to present a com
prehensive and complete report up
on conditions in the Platte river
bnsJn.
Professor Mickey has long been
cognizant of affairs along the river,
and Mr. Willis has been making
records of the basin for the last 35
years, which makes him one of the
beet informed men in the middle
west upon irrigation and drainage.
The Platte river was the only riv
er upon which army engineers were
able to submit a complete report,
this being made possible by the
complete records kept by Mr. Willis.
It is estimated that it will take en
gineers a number of years to bring
the data up to date on other rivers
to which they were assigned in the
work of outlining means and meth
ods for affecting efficient flood
control.

Each Claims to Be Only
Heir to Estate of Wealthy
Nebraskan
Broken Bow, Neb., (Spe

ter of the late George Andrews
Fuhrman of Anselmo are fighting
the will loft by him, giving all hlf
property valued at between $50,000
and $60,000 to George A. Kellogg.
Fuhrman also named Kellogg as
executor without bond. When the
petition of heirs was filed. Judge
Holcomb ruled against Kellogg as
administrator and appointed David
Christen of Anselmo, to be put un
der $25 000 bond.
Ruth Shephard, of Greeley, Colo,
claims she is the daughter of the
deceased and tlTe sole heir of the
property.
Mrs. Otto Winter of Ansley, Neb.
objects to the probate on the ground
that she is a niece of Fuhrman and
the sole heir.
Margarithe Bauer, nee Fuhrman
of Wagenbach, Baden, Germany
claims she Is the sister of the de
ceased and the sole heir to the
property.
An Inventory of the property ltled
by Christen shows that Fuhrman
had 1,100 acres of land and personal
property amounting to $23,421.88. A
certificate of deposit in the bank
was for $12,294.98 and the balance
is in notes and mortgages for mon
ey loaned to neighbors and in gov
ernment bonds and securities. There
was only $26 in his checking ac
count at the fine of his death.
Fuhrman in 1927 suffered a par
tial stroke of paralysis and went to
Council Bluffs for medical atten
tion. While there he made a will be
queathing $250 to Ruth Ball, whom
he described as "the daughter of my
deceased wife," and $100 to his
niece. Mrs. Otto Winter, of Ansley.
The rest of his property was willed
to George A. Kellogg. He stated in
the will that Kellogg had taken care
of him at various times and that
his relatives had no claims on his
affections.
Ruth Shephard claims that she
Ls Fuhrman's daughter and that he
w as of unsound mind when he made
the will, that he was removed to
Council Bluffs by Kellogg for the
purpose of getting him to make this
will and that he suffered a partial
paralytic stroke which left him to
tally incompetent, both mentally
and physically. She says that Kel
logg came to Fuhrman a stranger
a few months previous to the exe
cution of the instrument. Mrs.
Winter states the same objections,
declaring that he was unduly in
fluenced by Kellogg.
The sister living in Germany, who
is the mother of Mrs. Winter, makes
similar allegations regarding the
circumstances under which the will
was made.

MORE DANGEROUS THAN FLYING
From Marshalltown Times Repub
lican
During an early night drive Sun
day from Des Moines ta Marshall
town a conservative estimate would
place the number of cars passed at
5,000. Another estimate, rlso con
servative, would fix the number of
headlights not adjusted to meet le
gal requirements at 50 per cent, of
the total. On that portion of the
Jefferson highway between Des
Moines and Colo there was an al
most constant stream of cars in both
directions, therefore every driver
and every passenger in those cars
w’as taking a chance with Lady Luck
—taking the chance that every driv
er was careful and carried a luck
token in that almost constant and
blinding glare. On the Lincoln high
way similar conditions were met.
Between Des Moines and Mar
shalltown cniy one disaster was wit
nessed. Two cars had come togeth
er head on. While both were
wrecked, the passengers were not
seriously hurt. More luck. How
ever, a inan who had traveled from
Mason City during the evening said
this was the fourth collision he had
witnessed during the three hour
drive. He attributed all of them to
the glaring headlights. He criticized
Iowa severely for lax enforcement
of its headlight laws. Similar con
ditions, he declared, would not be
permitted in Illinois. The jails there
would be quickly filled with law
breaking joyriders. This visitor said
that on his evening ride he had
many times signaled for the other
fellow to dim. and his signals were
almost invariably ignored.
More paving and gravel in Iowa
will in time lessen the menace of
night driving, as the cars will be
spread over more territory. But the
glaring headlight v/ill remain a
menace so long as it is permitted.
Sunday night driving is more dan
gerous than flying. What is Iowa
going to do to lessen that menace?
Runs in Stockings
Forced to Retreat
i New York.—Electricity as applied
to the home, the shop, and the office
to reduce costs and avert needless
labor, noise and dirt, is being dem
onstrated at the 21st annual Elec
trical and Industrial exposition at
the Grand Central Palace here.
Outstanding among new inven
tions displayed is one for repairing
runs in silk stockings, a machine of
interest to women but, judging from
the audience inspecting it, having an
even greater appeal to men.
A stocking is placed in the device
which resembles a sewing machine,
although it has no thread in it. and
by running the stocking through it,
the rent is drawn together oy a
process which actually replaces the
small loops of silk rather than mere
ly stitching the torn parts together,
the result being a perfect new stock
ing.
In the industrial field, new electric
delivery cars equipped with distinc
tively designed bodies are displayed.
The absence of noise and odor in tne
operations of electric trucks on city
streets is emphasized.
Thomas A. Edison industries have
brought to the show a museum of
historical models of Mr. Edison’s in
ventions. including the original
phonograph, early incandescent
lamps and one of the first motion
picture projectors.

Q Why is Senator Curtis, the re
publican vice presidential nominee,
referred to as “Egg Charlie?” S. L.
B.
A. We are informed that the nick
name "Egg Charlie” was facetiously
given to Senator Curtis by some
newspaper men who reported a
speech which he made in the mid
dle west on the tariff. In this
speech he particularly dealt with
the exports and imports of eggs and
ponltrv.
mote from the activities of stock
growing, can have little conception
of the intense interest among mil
lions of Americans in the compe
tition which has come to an end
with the victory of Clarence Goecke.
The competition starts locally, ir
the boy’s and girls’ club of farming
communities in many states. The
county and state contests are a pre
lude to the final showing at the
Chicago exhibition. Boys and girls
in large numbers, probably running
into the thousands, annually come
to the Stock show, their principal
interest usually focusing upon the
steer-judging contest. On the day
of decision, and particularly at the
decisive hour, the International
Amphitheater is crowded.
Such were the circumstances sur
rounding the triumph of Clarence
Goecke. Doubtless a share of the
victory is deserved by the boy’s
father. Fred Goecke, for judicious
supervision: and doubtless another
share is due that lordly animal,
Dick. But Dick would not have
been the same Dick had the care of
him been less wise and enthusiastic
and tender; and the head of a 12
year-old boy can contain an ex
traordinary amount of w'isdom,
enthusiasm, and tenderness with
respect to a blue-blooded animal
given into his custody.
BATHING STOPS SEASICKNESS
From the Pathfinder.
The simple act of taking a salt
water bath is now said to prevent or
cure seasickness. So when you take
your next boat trip and feel the
sickness coming on take a bath in
salt water at a temperature from 90
to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Lie in the
tub for half an hour or longer. This
method of treatment was worked
out by a P. R. Bennett, who points
out that the tub moves as the ship
does, but that the water does not
respond ) the motion of the ship
so the water and the person im
mersed in it remains fairly motion
less. This relative immobility, he
claims, is responsible for the relief.

BANK RECENTLY CLOSED
OPENS DOOKS AGAIN
Lincoln, Neb., (Special)
—The Security bank ot Meadow
Grove, closed by the state depart
ment of banking, October 31, is
again open for business with its sol
vency fully restored. Secretary
Bliss says that community spirit
accomplished the rejuvenation. It
it the only bank in the town. With
drawal of funds during a quiet run
on the bank during October, rather
than frozen assets, forced it to
close. It then had a capital stock
of $25,000 and a surplus of $2,300.
This was used to retire slow notes
and losses. Farmers and business
men to the number of 133 subscribed
$40,000 to finance the new bank, and
it starts off with this amount of
clear capital and deposits of $157,
000. The item of $35,000 in land car
ried as an asset of the bank has
been largely retired by sale of de
positors, J. W. Warrick is president
and W. O. Larson, of Rising City,

Stanton LXJunty man main
tains He Had No Legal
Right to Part With Land
Lincoln, Neb., (Special)
—John Hilliard Peters, of Santon
county, has appealed to the su
preme court to award back to him
the 200 acre farm that he deeded to
the Stanton National bank in 1921,
for $40,000, in partial extinguish
ment of debts owing that institu
tion. Tlie farm is now owned by
William F. Schultz, who bought it
from Andrew Spence, who secured
it by deed from the bank. During
Spence’s incumbency the land was
mortgaged tc-C the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance company for
$12,500.
Peters bases his action on the
claim that he had no legal right to
part with the farm, that his father,
John Peters, when distributing by
will his extensive properties, set out
in the will that John Hilliard
should not be entitled to the farm
given him until 1925. Peters claims
that this created what is known in
law as a spendthrift trust and that
its effect was to prevent him from
dissipating his inheritance until he
had reached the age fixed by his
father, who died in 1915. He says
that the persons who took the land
by deed and the insurance com
pany that loaned money on it are
charged with knowledge of the le
gal inhibition. The court below
held that when Peters deeded the
land he warranted to defend the
title.
