Word From Lincoln
Says Jack Kersenbrock
Is Expected to Recover
Word received by Mayor Kersen
brock from Mrs. Kersenbrock at
Lincoln last evening was to the
effect that their son, Jack, 15, was
holding his own and it was believed
that he would soon be on the road
to rapid recovery, a fact that will
be pleasing news to Jack’s many
friends and those of the family
in this city.
Three weeks ago today Jack ac
cidently cut his right leg above
the knee with a hatchet. It was
dressed at once and appeared to be
healing nicely when strepococic in
i' fectiori set in and his condition be
came alarming. A specialist was
called from Lincoln and he came
up last Friday evening. He deemed
it necessary that the boy at once
be removed to a hospital at Lincoln
where he could receive medical
care and attention, so an ambul
ance was called from Lincoln and
they drove to this city that evening
and about 2:30 Saturday morning
they left here with Jack for Lin
coln, being accompanied by Mrs.
Kersenbrock and her sister, a
graduate nurse of Lincoln, who
came up with the physician earlier
in the evening. Jack stood the trip
fiine and he is in St. Elizabeth’s
hospital in Lincoln.
Jack Kersenbrock is one of the
most popular boys in the city, being
respected and loved by all the
younger people as well as the older
for his many fine qualities and
gentlemanly behavior, and they
are all praying for him to make a
successful fight against the infec
tion that has attacked him.

Johnson Drug Installing
Streamlined Fountain
The John Drug store is installing
a new, modem and up-to-date
fountain in their store this week,
the work of installation starting
this morning. The new fountain
is streamlined and all exterior sur
faces of the fountain are of highly
polished stainless steel. This new
material, similar to the stainless
steel of kitchen knives, is so hard
you cannot drill it with a hand
drill, resists absolutely the corosive
action of lemon juice and other
fruit acids, and never loses its
gleaming finish.
The streamlining of the fountain
makes it more beautiful and be
cause all sharp corners and crev
ices are eliminated, it is very easy
to keep spotlessly clean. Included
in this modem fountain is equip
ment for making sandwiches and
coffee.
The management of Johnson
Drugs is eager to have all their
friends and natrons inspect this
new' equipment which is now being
installed.
Funeral Services Held
Here for Man Killed In
Farm Mishap at Gordon
Paul Neubauer, (54, died at a
hospital in Gordon last Tuesday
morning. The body was brought to
this city Wednesday evening and
the remains were interred this
morning in Calvary cemetery, after
services in St. Patrick’s church,
Monsignor McNamara officiating.
Mr. Neubauer was working for
a farmer a few miles from Gordon.
About a week ago a team he had
on a manure spreader ran away
while he was on the ground at the
side of the spreader. He grabbed
the lines and held on but the team
continued their mad flight until
they struck a wire fence. Mr. Neu
bauer was thrown to the ground
and dragged several feet, the
wheels of the spreader passing
over his body and he sustained
several fractured ribs as well as
other bodily bruises. He was taken
to a hospital in Gordon and was ap
parently getting along nicely when
he died.
Mr. Neubauer came to this county
about 1917 and for two years
farmed about three miles north of
this city. He then moved to a farm
near Page where he remained for a
few years and then settled near
Ewing. He went to Sheridan
county about seven years ago and
since that time had betel working
tor different farmers in that county.
Deceased leaves eight children
to mourn his passing, ail of whom
were present at the funeral, except
Lwo, Mrs. Ted Gebur of Medford,
Ore., and Miss Beatrice Neubauer
of Broken Bow. The following are
the children; William, Page; Miss
Agnes, Norfolk; Mrs. Ted Gebur,
Medford, Ore.; Mrs. Lyle Newman,
Gordon, Nebr.; Mrs. Louie Braem
er, Hay Springs, Nebr.; Mrs. T. S.
Prudence, Ewing, Nebr.; Miss Be
atrice, Broken Bow, Nebr., and
Paul, Jr., of Page.
1937 Rainfall Is Very
Close to Four Months
of the Previous Year
We have heard many express the
opinion that we had more moisture
during th£ first four months of
1936 than we have had this year.
To settle the argument we went
to Observer Bowen’s 1‘ecords Tues
day morning and we find the fol
lowing is the registered rainfall
for the first four months of 1936
and 1937:
1936 1937
January_ .88 1.23
February _ 1.45 1.19
March _ 1.02 .72
April _ 1.69 1.60
Total_ 4.94 4.74
During the month of May, 1936,
we had precipitation in this sec
tion amounting to 4.20 inches. The
first three days of this month we
had .68 of an inch of moisture and
there are still twenty-seven days
to secure the 3.62 inches to equal
the record for May, 1936. A lot of
the moisture this spring has been
received in the past two weeks. No
heavy rains but a continual slow
drizzle from the clouds, every drop
of which entered the ground, none
having run off.
Farmers say that the ground is
now in fine condition and with
warm weather everything will just
boom. The cool wet weather of the
past two weeks has been of great
benefit to rye and farmers are now
looking forward to a good crop of
this Holt county standby.

COUNCIL SETS LIMIT
ON NUMBER OF BEER
AND LIQUOR PLACES
Question of A Well Also Brought
Up. Shaner Wants $1,000
Or Threatens Suit.
The city council met in regular
session last Tuesday evening with
all members present. The okf
council transacted their regular
business and then adjourned sine
die,
The new council, which consists,
of the same membership as the re
tiring council, met and organised
with the election of H. E. Coyne
as president of the council for the
ensuing year.
The Council also adopted a reso
lution limiting the number of
places in the city for the handling
of alcoholic liquors. They fixed the
number of beer parlors in the city
at ten* and the number of liquor
stores at four. This is the number
now engaged in business in the city.
The question of the old well put
down on lower Fourth street a
couple of years ago by Frank
Shaner was again before the coun
cil. Shaner entered into a contract
with the city to furnish it with a.
well that would produce 300 gal
lons a minute in a 48-hour test.
Wben the test was made the well
failed to produce 150 gallons a
minute and under the contract the
city did not owe Mr. Shaner any
thing for the well, as he failed to
fulfil!! his contract.
Since then several attempts have
been made to get the matter set
tled and at one time the council
offered to give Shaner $750 for hi*
well, which he refused. Since then
the city has purchased the lot upon
which the well was sunk and they
now want Mr. Shaner to remove his
property from the lot.
He appeared before the council
Tuesday evening and wanted the
city to pay him $1,000 for his well,
which the council refused to do
and he left the council room prom
ising suit, but what he has to sue
on is more than the average persoi*
can figure out.
The following committees were
named by the Mayor for the ensu
ing year, who were at once con
firmed by the council:
Streets and Alleys—H. L. Lind
berg, John Protivinsky and Levi
Yantzie.
Lights — Norbert Uhl, Francis

The following city officials were
appointed by the Mayor and at once
confirmed by the Council:

mon; Chief of Police and Pound
master, Chet Calkins; Assistant
Police, William Lewis; Engineer at
Pomp station, Jesse Scofield; Med
ical Advisor and City Physician,
