Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES What has become of the Klu Klux-Klan? Raymond Bly and, family visited Sunday with Mrs. Bly’s parents down by the lake. An Omaha youth tried suicide *when his girl quit him because he couldn’t buy her beer. As the famous Mr. Dooley once said: “What do you think of that?” The E. E. Young family were guests of Mrs. Riley and Mr. and Mrs. Baker Saturday evening, spending a pleasant and interesting social hour. The Clemens boys and Morris Kennedy were among others from the southwest at O’Neill Friday last equipping themselves to perform the part of Santa Claus in the near future. Thieves, like the poor, are ail ways with us. Stealing sheep has long been regarded as the embodi ment of all that is contemptible even by those of the thieving fra ternity. Jay Roblyer, a former Swan resident but now near At kinson, was the victim recently of a night raid of his barnyard, when two sheep were stolen. Swearing, beer-drinking and cig arette puffing gals with greasy, pimpled complexion and an ambit ion to be tough merely succeed in being rowdies. P. J. Kennedy tells his friends he is quitting the ranch shortly. He sold the cattle this fall and recently made a sale of a portion of the hay on the place and now expects to sell the ranch equipment. Mr. Kennedy has been a long time resi dent of Swan precinct and will be missed by neighbors over his way. ^ The persons on “direct relief” need not feel that they are“charity patients” any more than those re ceiving the corn-hog annuities. Further, the white-collared frater nity and administrative function aries and supernumeraries are also on the federal relief rolls. Though not technically classed that way i these three classes are all in the same boat. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Baker and John Bower departed Tuesday on a business trip to Omaha and Lincoln. To drop in his tracks not to rise again occasionally occurs among horses, authorities pronouncing it heart disease. A recent case of this kind was at the George Meals farm up toward Atkinson. The boys were bringing in a load of hay when one of their team, a pair of old grey favorites, dropped dead. A Bit of Graveyard History. Frank and Tom were the partici pants of a remarkable episode of our graveyard history. Frank gives the details. Do not be fright ened. This is not a ghost story. The afternoon sun stood at about half mast on a hot August day early in the present century. The regulator at B. F. Cole’s on upper Fourth street indicated just 4 o’clock. Frank and Tom, team and light wagon, were starting from O. F. Biglin’s establishment for the care of the dead with casket and rough box to bring the remains of a deceased citizen in from far dis tant Holt Creek for burial. By the time Holt Creek flats were reached the stars were twink ling. Night had come. Not one of those hot, mosquito-infested nights. The prairie breeze fanning faintly carried a chill. A teeth chattering night that sometimes follows a hot day in late summer. “What’s that ahead of us,” asked Tom, “elephants?” “Them’s haystacks.” “Haystacks your eye. Who ever saw haystacks moving around on the prairie?” r *No One Can Duplicate Your Gift ; If You Send Photographs For Christmas! We have nice styles that everyone can afford.

Can these horses swim?” “Sure, if haystacks can float out there, horses ought to swim.” “Well, this is the crick with a flowing well somewhere sprung a leak.” “That so? Well you get back there and keep that box out of the water and I’ll take you through.” “Got your order. Now just a minute until I get this joyful stuff up on my shoulders. There—let ‘em go.” “Mike, Brownie, steady now; your going to swim the Great Lakes.” “Better pull ’em a little to the right there.” “Don’t you know it is fatal to any craft to use landlubber terms on the water; you should say star board and larboard.” “We’re not on water—we’re in it. Just what do you know about maritime usages, anyway?” “Me? I used to pilot a stern wheeler up and down the Father of Waters.” “Well, its up to you right now to pilot this four-wheeler out of the Mother of Waters.” “Don’t get alarmed, Frank. How are you getting along back there?” “Bad. I’m about to let this em blem of rest down and drop into it.” “See that hump just off our port side ? I’m turning our prow straight into that with full steam ahead.” A safe landing was made. Twenty-four hours from the time of departure they were back home; and probably it is the first and only instance of man or devil standing up in the back of a wagon and balancing the interior and exterior casings for the remains of a dead man on his shoulder while crossing a stream.
