Telephone Line Getting in Shape.
The Murray telephone service has
been in very bad shape for the past
few days, since the storm o last

the following day after the storm, and
the task of getting them back in line
has been no small one. Most of the
trouble seems to be in the cable lines
and two cable experts from Lincoln
have been here all week looking after
the trouble, and at the present time
have them pretty well lined up.
Receives Lumber Daily Almost.
Owing to the weather conditions
of the past few weeks the lumber
business at the Murray yards has
been rather quiet, the same conditions
that prevail in all other lines
of business the world over. Mr.
Kikendall believes that this is but a
temporary standstill, and to confirm
this fact he is almost weekly receiv
ing lumber invoices. This week he
received three cars of high grade
lumber that he is placing in his sheds
for future delivery to his customers.
Some of the finest lumber that we
have ever seen has been received at
his yards during the past few ship
ments. Mr. Kikendall handles some
cheap lumber it is true, to meet the
demand for this grade, but his main
line is the very best that can be pro
duced, and he stands ready to meet
all prices where quality consideration
is given.
COUNTIAN COM
MITS SUICIDE
August Holmes, a Young Man Well
Known in This County the
Unfortunate Victim.
From Tuesday's Dailv.
The following special to the Omaha
World-Herald from Hartington, Neb.,
gives the particulars of the suicide of
a former Cass county man, who was
born and reared in the vicinity of
Rock Bluffs, where his father, J. B.
Holmes, was for years one of the
prominent residents and a leading
figure in the affairs of that part of
the county. The family made their
home there for a great mnay years
and here this young man, the young
est of his family, grew to manhood,
lie was here about a year ago to
make a short visit wtih his cousin
Mark Furlong and family, and the
mother of the unfortunate man visited
some two years ago at Rock Bluffs
with relatives for some time. The
death of this gentleman in the very
midst of a ripe manhood comes as
quite a blow to his many friends in
the county, who had known him all
these years. Besides the mother, two
brothers, William Holmes of Beaver
City, Neb., and John L. Holmes, re
siding in Idaho, are left to mourn his
Joss:
August Holmes, 41, unmarried, com
mitted suicide early Sunday morning
by shooting himself through the brain
slightly back and above the left ear
with a 25-20 Winchester rifle. He
was making his home with his mother,
ten miles west and one south of Hart
ington, and had several times in the
past months told his mother that he
was tired of life and was going to
kill himself. About two weeks ago he
told her that Sunday, July 18, would
be his final day.
Mr. and Mrs. James Iloggatt were
visiting at the place at the time of
the shooting. The women had retired
and when Mr. Hoggatt was about to
retire Holmes told him he thought he
had forgotten to close the gate after
turning the horses into the pasture
and that he would go out and see af
ter he had retired.
Holmes' body was found lying on
the floor of the granary. Coroner
Joseph Bang and County Attorney P.
F. Ogara, of Hartington, had an in
quest, when it was found that death
was caused by Holmes own hand.
When found his pocket knife was
lying opened beside him and from
powder marks on his head it appeared
that he had the weapon against him
when discharged.
The body will be shipped to Murray
tonight on the midnight Missouri Pa
cific and the funeral held at the Pres
byterian church there at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Connally Improving.
John Connaily, arrived in Murray
Wednesday morning from his ranch
up near Atkinson, Nebraska, and will
make a few days visit with his mother
and sister and old home friends. He
reports everything in his part of the
country as looking fine, and all con
ditions point to good crops for this
year. His mother, who been very ill
during the past winter and spring,
continues to gain in health, and grows
stronger each day, which will be good
news to her many friends in this lo
cality.
Theo. Amick and family and John
Frada arrived in Murray on Tuesday
of this week from Monticello, Ark.,
and we understand they will make
their future home in this county. Mr.
Amick has sold his farm interest in
that locality. They drove through in
two autoes.
Mrs. Adeline Holmes and her son,1
William Holmes, desire to express!
their thankfulness to the friends in!
Murray for the sympathy and interest
shown them in their bereavement.
Flowers were sent from the Lookout j
Sunday school, Wausa, Neb., and Mod
ern Woodmen of America camp 1058,'
Union, Neb. Other flowers were fur-'
nished by friends in Murray, and
their kindness is very much ap
preciated.
Cattle Will Harvest Crop.
J. R. C. Gregory shipped a car of
feeding cattle from South Omaha to
this station Tuesday of this week. Mr.
Gregory says this solves his present
alfalfa troubles. The wet weather
has kept him from cutting and har
vesting his present crop of this hay,
has really been unable to give the crop
to his neighbors for the cutting. He
will now turn these cattle on the field
and he is guaranteed that they will
harvest the crop.
