anley Farmer Said to
From Temporary Mental Aberration
Fall Llay Have Affected Hind.
The Omaha World-Herald of this
(Wednesday) morning, contains the fol
lowing: Edward W. Murphy, the young
farmer from near Manley, who disap
peared in Omaha a week ago, has been
found and restored to his family.
It is a declared case of aberration of
mind.
Young Murphy came to himself early
Monday evening at Valley. He walked
into a hotel there to stay all night, and
it so chanced that at that very time
some people there were looking at the
picture of the missing man in the World
Herald. Murphy asked to look at the
paper, saw his own likeness and the
notice of a reward offered for informa
tion concerning him.
He said nothing. It was too late to
get a train away from the town. Mr.
Murphy went o his room and went to
sleep. Before entering the hotel he
had asked a man on the street what
town it was.
Early Tuesday morning he took the
train, got off at South Omaha and tele
phoned his wife.
INJURED
WHILE
COASTING
Utile Elmer Buttery Suffers
A Hard Shaking Up by a
Collision While
Coasting
Yesterday afternoon little Elmer
Buttery, son of Martin Buttery, was go
ing out with his bob-sled to try the
exhilirating pastime of coasting which
is being taken advantage of by a large
number of the younger population. He
had just gotten outside of the yard at
his home, where the young people of
the neighborhood were sliding, when
along came a boy on a sled, going down
the hill 4,lick-a-ty-larrup."
The little fellow on the sled did not
get his toes stuck into the snow just
right, and his sled became unmanagea
ble in his hands, and like a wild and
fraction horse plunged out of the beaten
track, striking Elmer on the legs, up
setting him, his sled and the boy who
was sliding, all in a bunch. The little
boy who was riding was rendered uncon
scious and it was thought for awhile
that one of Elmer's legs was broken.
Upon examination it was found the
member was not broken, but was very
badly bruised. The other boy came
around in a short time, but with a very
badly bruised nose and face which
had come in contact with the Buttery
boy's sled at the instant of the collision.
Under the circumstances it was fortu
nate that no more serious damage was
done to either party.

Mr. McCloud of York, was sold last

cashier, comes to Weeping Water to
assist in City National bank, and will
move his goods here soon. Henry Fish
er, who has been assisting in the bank
at this place will assist in the harness
shop. Since Mr. Fisher and son, Louis
have gone to Oklahoma, there is need
of Henry's service at the shop to at
tend to the business end of the firm,
and he is a very handy man anywhere
you put him. Weeping Water Repub
lican. The Journal knew of the transaction
a week ago, but by request of the pur
chasers we did not publish the same.
So our readers can see why we go away i
from home to get the news. Hereafter
this paper will publish events at the
time they occur unless the parties in
terested can give a more plausable ex
case that the purchasers did in the
above transaction.
One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious disease
and before the victim realizes his dan
ger he may have a fatal malady. Take

troubles as it corrects irregularities and

Henry Kauble, wife and little daugh
ter, Pauline, were visitors in Omah today.
Have Been Suffering
His father-in-law, James Carper, had
taken a train from Manley to join Mur
phy's father, James Murphy, who was
already in Omaha, to continue their
search. The wife sent a message to
Carper, which he received en route, and
he met young Murphy at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Charles Wander, in
Omaha.
The father and son and father-in-law
returned to Manley last evening.
Young Murphy can give no account of
where he has been or what he has done
in the past week, saying his mind has
been a perfect blank, and he has not the
slightest recollection of his wonderings
He kept all of his money, however, and
his clothes were not soiled, from which
it is inferred that he was at no time
shelterless.
Three years ago Murphy had a fall and
was seriously injured. Some of his
friends thought that on occasions sub
sequently he talked strangely. To this
they attribute the recent total failure of
his mind. Once he had come to him
self, he appeared to be perfectly ra
tional.
Plasterers Hard at Work.
The plasterers at the Masonic Home

in position in a few days.

VETERINARY LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
So Declares Judge Travis in
a Decision Handed Down
Today
In a decision handed down today by
Judge II. D. Travis, the law passed by
the legislature of a few years since,
wherein it was required that an exami
nation be passed and a license be taken
out in order that one could advertise as
a veterinary surgeon. The Nebraska
Veterinary Medical association, through
their attorneys, M. D. Carey and J. J.
Thomas, brought suit to prevent A. P.
Barnes, the president of the Nebraska
State Veterinary association, advertis
ing as a veterinary, or anyone else who
had not passed an examination before
the board appointed by the state, and
having obtained a permit. This case
was tried before Judge Travis in cham
bers about ten days since, and today
he handed down his decision, giving his
opinion that the law is unconstitutional
and void. The case will be appealed to
the supreme court, where the final pas
sage will be had at as early a moment
as possible, that the law mBy be' settled
beyond and doubt.

beth Kerr. The usual jolity reigned.
The contest was won by Misses Hazel
Tuey and Jennie Batton, that couple
making the best ryhme about a certain
advertisement. While the judge was

in a taffy-pulling. Strange to say, all
the taffy was either sticky or stringy!

vocal and piano solos and debates were
given, each causing much merriment.

condition of little Roy O'Neal is some

has beset him. We hope he may soon
recover entirely.
Don C. York is able to be up again,
but not in the condition to be out of
the house, since he took his bath in the

BADLY HASHED
While Loading Old Iron Ghas.
Edmonds Has His Hand
Badly Injured
Chas. Edmonds of Glenwood, a cousin
of Oliver Edmonds of this place, while
working at the Burlington station here
yesterday, loading old iron, which a
Glenwood, Iowa, man was shipping
from this point, had his right hand
badly' mashed. In the loading, Mr.
Edmonds was arranging a piece of iron
in position when his fellow workman,
Chas. Regger, thinking that Mr. Ed
monds had finished, threw a sewing
machine head into the car, just as he
reached back to the unruly piece of
iron. The flying sewing machine head
struck his hand, catching it between
the two pieces and mashing it badly.
The three fingers of the right hand
suffered the worst injury, the second
finger being mashed flat, while the
other two were not quite so bad.
After having the injury dressed, Mr.
Edmonds departed for his home in
Glenwood.
He Wants $,1000 Damage.
Some time since a cow got into the
field of Theobold Rhin, and he, in en
deavoring to drive it out, was treated
to a storm of abuse from a little boy,
said to belong to George Wittstruck.
Mr. Rhin went to see the boy's father
about the matter, and after he had
stated the case, it is claimed Wittstruck
kicked Rhin off his place. For this Mr.
Rhin filed a complaint, which lingered
some time in court, and was finally with
drawn. Now comes Wittstruck, through
his attorney, and brings suit in the dis
trict court against Mr. Rhin for $1,000
damages for malicious prosecution. The
papers were served today, and the trial
promises to divulge some very interest
ing testimony.
