THOUGHT KGHSE
WAS STOLEN
In Consequence cf Which Seme Ex.
cilemcnt Was Created.
Monday night W. C. Hamilton who is
engaged in instructing the new boys'
band came down town to attend the
rehearsal and driving down the street
to a spot near the restaurant of Jacob
Henrich, he tied his horse and buggy
to a post using a knot which he is quite
positive could not have become untied,
at the same time covering the animal
with ah orse blanket. After the rehear
sal which kept him until about about
nine thirty, he went down to get the
animal and go home and was startled
to find that it had disappeared. He
made inquiries and looked about but
had no trace of the animal. After a
short wait he decided to call the sheriff
into service and notified Deputy Sheriff
Manspeaker at the jail of his loss. Mr.
Manspeaker in turn notified Sheriff
Quintion at.d others and general search
was instituted for the missing outfit.
Abtiut eleven thirty 11. A. Bates, who
had been up in the north part of town
escorting a young lady home, came
down Seventh street and discovered a
horse and buggy almost in front of the
residence of John Crabill. The horse
had apparently started up a four foot
Lank which rises from the street in
front of Mr. Crabill's house and had
cramped the buggy in such a manner
as to stop its progress and there it was
standing when Mr. Bates discovered it.
He at once took it in charge, finding it
was loose with the hitching strap drag
ging and covered with mud caused by
the horse stepping upon it and the
blanket still in position, drove it
to Mr. Manspeaker's barn where it was
iddentified as the missing animal.
There was nothing to indicate that
there was anything particularly wrong
in the animal's actions as it was headed
toward home when found, having either
been set loose by someone or having
broken away. The horse was restored
to Mr. Hamilton who, in addition to his
wife, was greatly pleased to have the
animal restored. So far the Sheriff has
been unable to locate who could have
set the animal free. It is not believed
that there was any intention of stealing
the animal as the hitching strap and
blanket seem to prove the contrary.
rire Originated in Drug Store. j
! J. 1'. Falter returned Sum-day from j
: from a trip to I'ercival, Iowa, where
! lie was cahed by the lire, an account of
j which was printed in the Journal of
i Saturday. Mr. Falter found that he
very lortunately escaped much loss
through the efforts of the townspeople
who fought valiantly to save his build
ings and stock from the devouring ele
ment. The fire which caused the dam
age orginated in the drug store from
some unknown cause and sw'ept away
the block on the north causing an
estimated loss of ten to twelve thousand
dollars. On all this property there was
practically no insurance it is a total loss.
The high rates of insurance was largely
to blame that no insurance was carried.
Mr. Falter had very fortunately insur
ed his property for about one-half it's
value and losing so little, he will come
out all right. His loss is estimated at
only tAO hundred dollars which is all
on the bank building. The stock of
goods came through the fire unscathed.
Mr. Falter is quite thankful that the
people helped him out so well. He
expects that portion of the town destroy
ed will be rebuilt at once.

Representing Oklahoma Soli.
II. L. Hill, of the Minco Real Estate
Company, of Minco, Okla., is in the
city for a day or so visiting with friends
and incidentally talking Oklahoma real
estate. Mr. Hill has a number of
photographs of the corn carnival held
at Minco, on Sept. 10 to the 15th, which
was largely attended by people from all
over Oklahoma. From the photographs
it can readily be seen that there was
some corn raised around Minco and it
is just such corn as they raise in Ne
braska. Mr. Hill's office was especial
ly constructed for the occasion, and the
front is covered by two hundred and
thirty-six ears of corn, two hundred of
which is twelve inches long or longer.
There was a big parade at the festi
val, headed by Mr. Hill in an automobile
and participated in by many former
Cass county people. Booths were
erected in the streets of the lively little
town and corn, cotton and wheat were
exhibited as the product of the terri
tory. A number of residents of this
vicinity are contemplating going to that
locality where they haye many good
friends already located.
Visiting Relatives in Cass County.
Gottlieb Sprieck and wife of Stanton,
Neb., have been in the vicinity for a
number of days past visiting with then
son Otto Sprieck who lives near Louis
ville. They were treated to a pleasant
surprise on their arrival, the stork hav
ing gotten wind of their coming and
last Thursday made a descent upon the
Otto Sprieck family, leaving a fine girl
baby. Both Mrs. Sprieck and the child
are doing finely. Mr. Sprieck has had
a very enjoyable visit during this trip
and intends to stay here several days
longer. He was formerly a resident of
this locality and has many friends scat
tered over this neighborhood. He is
greatly taken with his present location
in Stanton and is glad to say that they
have had a fine year up there. Crops
are good, corn being especially fine.
The crop generally is far above the
average, although there are a few bad
fields. Mr. Sprieck accompanied by his
son-in-law Edward Keil and wife and
child paid the Journal a pleasant visit
this afternoon.

There was considerable routine busi

with Contractor C. 1). Woodworth for
the paving on Main and Sixth streets
and the instruction of the judiciary
committee and city attorney to draft
the ordinance, taxing the expense of
the new paving against the property
owners in districts one and two.
After the minutes had been read and
approved, Clerk Flster read an unsign
ed petition from purported "citizens of
the Fifth ward" asking the council to
replace the crossing at the O'Neill
place on Clara street and also calling
attending to the condition of the street
and the side walk on Lincoln avenue.
As no one had signed the alleged peti
tion it was laid on the table.
Earl C. Wescott presented a petition
asking the council to grant him a fur
ther extension of twelve months on his
contract to light the city, alleging a i

Philip Tnierolf returned on Monday
from his extended sojourn in Europe,
looking and feeling much better than
when he left. He had a great time
daring his trip, the most pleasant be
ing hia arrival at his old home in Ger
many and the greeting of his mother
and sisters and brothers. Besides the
pleasure that he received there he had
a very fine time visiting various cities
and fine places of interest throughout
Germany, Switzerland and Italy. He
had the pleasure of being in Hamburg
at the time of the great Turner festival
and considers it one of the greatest
sights he ever witnessed. He visited
many of the famous art galleries of
Italy and comes home an enthusiast on
art. He was in Paris and saw the gay
Parisians on their native heath.
He visited the mountain region of
Switzerland and saw the towering
Alps. Added to all this was his trip
coming and going on two of the finest
ocean steamers on the seas. Taken all
around his extended trip was one of
unqualified delight. He was glad to
get back to America and his family
despite it all.

Chairman Sattler of the ttree-ts com

beaten him to it and had cut off that
official's pay while the doughty third

discussion a3 to whether Janda was dis
missed or not, some seeming to believe
that he had merely had his pay stopped
but still had the title. Steimker failed
to discover the difference and was
satisfied so the matter ended probobly
for three weeks. The solons then
snuffed out the candle and adjourned.
