ton. Creighton has nine lettermen
and this game promises to be a >
thriller. Everyone should turn out I

start.
FORM ECONOMY LEAGUE
AT TAXPAYERS’ MEETING
The court room was crowded last j
Saturday afternoon by a meeting of
taxpayers from all parts of the coun
ty, held for the purpose of consider
ing present and future conditions in :
the county, and ways and means to
meet such conditions as they may
arise.
There is a general feeling that the
county will have heavy calls for help
before spring and that some im
provement can be made in the man
ner of taking care of such matters.
It was also the sentiment of the
meeting that instead of destroying
one-third of the crops we have rais
ed, as recommended by the Farm
Board, that it would be better to re
duce public expenses one-third.
A permanent organization was
formed, to be known as the Economy
League. George L. Butler, of Ewing
was elected president and B. B. Grab
ble, of Chambers, secretary; commit
tees were appointed for various pur
poses; they will report at the next
meeting, to be held at the court
house, Saturday, September 26th, at
2 p. m. All persons interested are
requested to attend this meeting.
JOHN HENRY KAHLER
CHARGED WITH INEBRIACY
John Henry Kahler, a farmer re
siding some distance northwest of
O’Neill, was brought before the in
sanity board as an inebriate, last
Tuesday, on the complaint of his
wife, who charged that her husband,
while under the influence of liquor,
was cruel to her and to the children; j
her testimony was to the effect that
he beat her with a strap and other
wise mistreated her in various ways
while under the influence of liquor;
she also stated that he was a good
husband when sober. Kahler did not
make any attempt to dispute the evi- j
dfence against him but seemed to
take the attitude that he was doing
the right thing; he said that his reas
or for beating his wife with a strap
was that she refused to go to Stuart'
with him and that she wouldn’t mind
him.
Kahler is about fifiy years old;
there are thirteen in the family.
The boa*-d turned Kahler over to
the sheriff, in whose custody he will j
remain for the present.
ZAKROZEWSK1 SUES
SCHOOL DISTRICT
FOR TRANSPORTATION
Sylvester Zakrozewski, who resid
es northeast of Opportunity, Nebras
ka, brought suit in Justice of the
Peace Meredith’s court on Tuesday,
against school district No. 93 where
in he asks for a judgment against
the district for transportation for
his children for a period of 476 days
to and from the school in the amount
of $71.40 and interest. The plaintiff
also asks that the sum of 50c "be add
ed to the judgment; the amount, he
claims, was due him as a balance on
money received for painting the
school house.
Zakrozewski contended that he re
sided more than three miles from
the school house; the evidence of
several witnesses corroborated his
contentions.
The court, after giving the testi
mony due considei-ation, allowed the
plaintiff the sum of $48.10. Neither
the plaintiff nor the defendant seem
ed satisfied with the decision of th^
court and each gave notice of an at -
peal.
The matter will no doubt be set
tled in the district court.
LONE BANDIT HELD UI»
THE MIDWAY STORE
A lone bandit held up the Midway
store about nine o’clock on Monday

tank; when Orville Lowry and Doyle
Hull came to fill his car he stuck
them up with a revolver and took
them into the store, where he helped
himself to the money; he then cut
the telephone wires, after which he
put seven or eight gallons of gas
into his car, turned the car around
and went north. The boys say that
the fellow was about twenty-five or

Why risk your
neck for ^.98*
SOONER or later worn tires are •Cheaper than accident* — look
going to let go. That may be “ ,h"' low pric" *“
dangerous. GOODYEAR pathfinder
Honestly now, is it worth taking the
chance of going into a ditch or having
a smash-up due to a b’owout, when
you can get fine new Goodyears like
these for so little money?
If you have any doubts about the
condition of your tires, drive in. We
will look them over and give you the
low-down. You can believe what we
say — we couldn't afford to be any*
thing but on the level. We know
that as well as you do.'
