Sixty Years in Cass County.
Last evening at his home in Ne
hawka where for more than sixty
years he has made his home, Hon.
Isaac Pollard, one of the early resi
dents of the county and one of the
men who has had a great part in the
development of the state, passed away
as the immediate result of an attack
f acute indigestion from which he
lias been suffering for the past wreek
and which added to the other compli
cations due to his advanced years
proved too great a strain and resulted
in the death of this worthy man. Mr,
Pollard for the past ten years has

arteries, which has gradually grown

It is a mutter of history the part
that Isaac Pollard has had in the
forming of the great state of Ne

the Isthumas of Panama, but on
i riving there found the opportunities
n.t as flattering as they hoped for
and returned to the Green Mountain
.-tate. In 185" Mr. Hollard and Mr.
Sheldon again came west to take up a
lmme in Kansas but on arriving at
the village of Omaha decided to lo
cate in Nebraska and accordingly se
lected a homestead in southern Cass

their homes and where they have made
the land to blossom with the fruits
of the earth.
One f the greatest orchards in the
state of Nebraska was planted by Mr.
Pollard at his Nehawka farm and dur
ing his lifetime he has taken a keen
interest in the hortifultural life of
tiie state and his contributions has
given the state a great ranking among
the other commonwealths of the na-
tion in this line. v
Never a seeker after ofiice, Mr. Pol
lard repeatedly refused to be a can
didate for the public service and aside
from several terms as county clerk in
early days did not take any part in
political life although always deeply
interested in the advancement of his
community and state.
Surviving the loss of this good man
here are three daughters and two
sons. Mrs. Harry Wills and Mrs. Lot
tie Shotwell, of Seattle, Wash.; Mrs.
A. J. Hiiborn, Long Beach, California,
former congressman E. M. Pollard, of
Nehawka and Raymond C. Pollard,
of Nehawka.

SELLS HiS SHOES
FOR TWO DOLLARS
This morning the good people of
the city were greatly astonished to
view Frank Vallery, the genial land
man, of Murray, in the act of walk
ing up Main street in his sox feet and
without the usual covering of shoe
leather anu'tnis lact leu to a great
many inquiries as to why nnd vvhere
fo?e of the imitation of the barefoot
fad that has been sweeping over the
country. The truth of the matter is
that Frank is a man that will take no
cares and when he agrees to do a
thing he delivers the goods. lie was
engaged in conversation with Mart
Williams and oi the talk Mr. Vallery
alluded to his shoe as being lucky, Mr
Williams asked how much he would
take for them and Frank stated $2.
The money was at once put u.t and the
exchange of the shoes for the coin
carried out and Frank attended ty
two friends and followed by Mart
carrying the famous $2 shoes pro
ceeded up the street to the Fetzer shoe
store where Frank proceeded to pur
chase a $5 pair at the low price of $-T
as Mart's two silver dollars went to
make up the difference. The joke of
the matter however was that the pro
cession was witnessed by several par
ties that Frank did not care about
seeing his barefoot pai-ade but he was
game and carried the stunt out to the
finish.

VILLA CONTINUES
EFFORT TO TAKE
CHIHUAHUA CITY
Saturday's Desperate Assault Gains
Foothcld for Bandit Hand-to-Iland
Fighting in Streets.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. 20. in a des
perate assault on Chihuahua City Sat
urday Poncho Villa had gained a foot
hold in the city and hand-to-hand
fighting was in progress in the streets,
United States department agents
learned late in the day. The lest mes
sage that came over the wire to the
border stated that Villkta forces had
entered one side of the city. Late in
the evening no f wither information as
to the outcome of the battle for pos
session of the city had reached the
border.
In United States official quarters
hevjc it is thought improbable Ihct
Villa had cut the wires, which were
severed early in the day, because dur
ing the two d:-.ys' righting prece:;inrr
Saturday's assault, when his men
dominated the situation, tho telegraph
and lailway lines were not revered.
On the streets of Juarez rumors
were circulated that the ViUi:-tas ha 1
occupied Chihuah.ua City and that
Trevino had boon routed, but United
States department agent:" stated there
was little foundation for these rumors.
The presence of 200 Viilistar, com
manded by Sylve.der Quevedo, eight
een miles south of the American bor
der on the Juarez-Chihuahun City
railway line caused General Gonzales
commander at Juarez, to order one
hundred Carranzista troops out to
guard the bridge a few m:l3s outside
Juarez. Attempt:; to get supplies cf
ammunition to General Trevino were
abandoned.
Ilencrt to Washington.
Late in the f.y a United States gov
ernment official, transmitting reports
to Washington, said:
"Until 10 o'clock today, General Tre
vino had been able to repel every as
sault of the bandits upon Chihuahua
City. In cnly'a few instances had the
bandits been able to get any distance
into the ctiy. Each time they were
foiced out. But we have authentic
information that Villa had succeeded
in penetrating into a portion of the
town and had been holding it for
hours. Then the military wire failed
Whether he has been able to maintain
his ground is a ques tion."
Other officials of five departments
obtaining reports for the United
States government believed that the
ammunition supply of the defenders
began to dwindle in the morning. Un
til Saturday, they s-dd, Villa's move
ments indicated that he had surround
ed the city and his only effort was to
force the Carranzista -ftcrrison to ex
pend as much ammunition as possible
before starting the real assault.
Unusual precautions were observed
in Juarez by General Gonzales, after
obtaining reports of the nearness of
Quevedo's band of Villistas, and an
other small body of bandits twenty
five miles southeast.
Water Supply Cut.
Villa has cut off the entire water
supply to Chihuahua City by severing
the acqueduct leading to the capital,
according to a report .obtained by
United States department agents here.
The acqueduct conveys the water
supply of the city from a reservoir
several miles away. Such action-would
cause suffering among the civilian
population immediately, men familiar
with the situation declared.

This activity on the part of city of
