mately the same acreage of wheat as
in 19 IS, that is, slightly in excess of

ing in ample time to take part in the
work in South and North Dakota.
Cutting starts in the extreme south
eastern counties July 1 to 10, and in

A number of mat fans fiotu this

day evening to attend the wrestling
match between Frank Schrnarder,
who is now employed at the quary

Dakota, former middleweight cham
pion of the world.
L. G. Plybon and --on Chester,
went to Plattsmouth latt Saturday
and came home driving a new car.
They had made the purchase the
week before, but on account of bad
roads they had left the car there un
til Saturday. The new car is a Ford,
but it is up to date having an elec
tric starter and electric lights.
The bump of covetousness had
been so thoroughly instilled in the
mind of some party or parties that
it led them to break another of God'.-?
commandments, when on Thursday
evening of last week, the barn be
longing to Grandpa Rose was en
tered and two automobile tirea was
stolen from his son Fred Rose. The
thief stripped the tires off the wheels.
The seats had been removed in search
for other valuable tools or accessor
ies, but nothing further was missing.
No trace was left that would give
any clue as to who tne guilty party
or parties were and no one has been
suspected of the theft. It is not of
ten such as this happens in Nehaw
ka. but now since it occurred, it
might be well to provide a little bar
rage in the way of lock and chains.
