L
;st Sunday an auto load of peo

no with a gun and killed one of his
'hickens which was in a field nearby
There were two men and three wo
men in the party. After the si-oot-;ig
of the chicken one of the women
lumped out of the car crawled under
he wire fence and secured the car
as of the fowl and hastened b?.ck
to the car. and then made haste for
the south. But they were not quick
enough for Mr. Swan, for he had n's
i rout an(i caught the party, secur
ing their car number which was a
Nebracka license. This was given
to V.". B. Banning who is this week
in Lincoln and he will secure h
namp of the owner of the car. Not
f;r tbf Drce of the chicken, but it
looks like it is getting stronger than
horse raddish when chickens are
shot down in broad day light along
the public highway.

MANY FRIENDS MEET
FOR PLEASANT VISIT
The Thirty-Second Annual Reunion
of Old Settlers Has Come and
Gone Again.
The Old Settlers association cele
brated their 32nd annual picnic at
the grounds southwest of I'nion last
Saturday. The arrangements were
for a festival of friendship and re
newing of the "olden time" for two
days both Friday and Saturday, but
the weather which we were glad to
have because it was the need rain,
prevented the meeting on Friday.
Saturday they were a little tardy in
arriving and the two days program
as much as could be was crowded
into Saturday afternoon. Many of
the numbers were omitted and others
shortened in order to get through
by evening.
An excellent feeling prevailed, all
greeting their friends with hearty
handshakes and smiles, and the old
timers slapping each other on the
back in expressing their good feel
ings for the boom of pure friend
ship and enjoying the fellowship
and good health, which is one of the
peculiarities of this section. Again
they could not help but think how
that lower piece of wheat turned
-:t and the oats done, with all the
hay saved, not lost by the rain and
having to keep the rows of the potato
patch closed to prevent the "ta
ters" from running out in piles from
the rows and getting sun-burned
and one of the best prospects for
corn since the time of the grasshop
pers in 1879. Why should not all
be wearing broad smiles.
The opening address was made by
Creede Harris, which wa sone of wel
come, in this he expressed, the wel
come which flowed from every mem
ber of the old settlers association
nnd every citizen of I'nion. He had
been preceded by a prayer from the
Rev. W. A. Taylor, involving divine
euidar.ee for all and returning the
thanks which were due for the friend
ships, the associations, the prosper
ity and the abundance of all good
things which the hand of a living
and gracious Father had given his
children.
Following Mr. Harris was an ad
dress by the Rev. Taylor K. Surface,
who formerly ministered to the
church near I'nion. but who has been
in the northern portion of the state
for a number of years. His address
was one of reminesences and local
history, he recalling many incidents
familiar to many pioneers of this
portion of the country. Following

I M. S. Briggs spoke briefly of the
1 accomplishments of the generation
which has preceded this and of the i
part which the old settlers had in
making the country which we have)
today and asked would the people of
today reciprocate by making a con
dition that the coining generation
might be as greatly benefitted as we
j have been by the work of our fore
I parents.
Hon. Jesse L. Root of Omaha, fol
I lowed with the conclusion of the
i program and his address was of a
reminescent character, saying that
he had come to Plattsmouth thirty
four years ago and led his eager
listeners down through that period
of time to the present, which is the
most propitious of all the ages of
history. He received a happy greet
ing and applause at the close of his
address. The greeting of the
frit nds. the introductions of those
not before acquainted, and the visit
ing, the well wishes, the season of
happy association and the thirty
second annual picnic was closed
with good feelings for all, and happy
in the associating which the after
noon had afforded.
County Commissioner Not Well
C. F. Harrisv the county commis
sioner, has been kept to his home for
some time on account of an indispo
sition which has attacked him, but
hopes to be about again in a short
time. Mr. Harris, speaking about
the repairs of the court house, said
that the matter in his opinion, would
have to be given to the voters for
final decision as the amount involved
to place the building in the condi
tion to preserve the structure would
require more outlay that the com
missioners were empowered to spend
without the sanction of the people
iMid a No that the levy had been made
up already leaving no funds for the
purpose. He intimated that the
commissioners would have the peo
ple pass on the question.
