FATHER SHINE IMPROVING From Monday's Dally. TVio ronnrte frnm t Vi St Pathor. ine's hospital in Omaha indicate that Father M. A. Shine of the St John's Catholic church of this city, is now improving which is very pleasing to the attending "physicians.

Prom Monday's Daily. Yesterday afternoon Fred Warn er of near Murray was in the city driving in from the farm in his road ster and left the machine parked in the center of Main street just in front of the Dunbar pool hall. Mr. Warner was kept for some little time and when he returned to secure the car it was not to be found and the owner of the machine experi- encea some very unpleasant ma- ments as the vision of the loss of j short time before taking any trace of the car and last evening it made its reappearance in the parking place. It seems that the car had been taken by two young men and driv en to Omaha to while away a few that some steps should be taken to show the parties taking the car that they cannot get away with any- thing like this and it is very likely that a complaint will be made in the office of County Attorney A. G. Colej against tne two young meu. There has. been several of these cases occurring of late in the city and while none of the car owners have made complaint they have not felt the best about it. Some of the persons who are on familiar terms with the auto owners apparently think nothing of hopping in a car and driving around without the formality of notifying the owner and this is going to result in some one getting into very serious trouble - 1 LI I li in -t a a n a 1r a OVtfr ILC UdUU ll 11 ia uul turtivru. WRONG KIND OF DUCKS Two 0f the lovers of the sport of the average residenter was still hit ting the hay, hastened forth armed with many pieces of artillery and prepared to start out on the day's shooting. They secured their trusty craft, which had been anchored near the ferrv landing and started out on the discomfort of their friends in the boat and thought that the loss of the decoys was amply repaid for in the general crestfallen appearance of the other hunters when they discovered the truth. It is safe to say-that in the future these two hunters propose to see that their targets are real ' ducks in the future instead of bunch of cameflaged wood. GIVES BIRTHDAY PARTY From Tuesday's Dally.

AN OBITUARY From Jklonrtayp Dallv Mrs. Ellen Smith, who passed away at her home in the south por tion of this city on Thursday last, was a native of Iowa, having been born in Lynn county; on September 16, 1S49, and was united in mar riage in 1S71 to Mr. Robert Bruce Smith, who with the eisrht children of the marriage are left to mourn the passing or tfcts good woman.

NOT JIUCH DAMAGE From Tuesdays Daily. The usual mischief making so generally characterizes the that Hal- lowe'en season seems to have disap peared to a greater or less extent and very little trouble was reported today as the result of the activities of the youngsters last night. The old time Hallowe'en when everything that was loose and some things that were not, suffered, 4-eems to have past. In the years gone by it was the usual sight to see buildings turned over or moved to other loca tions, gates torn off and fences and sidewalks ripped up and torn down. The concrete sidewalks and the cus tom of doin gaway with fences has left a crimp in this line of Hallow e'en sport and other . modern ad vances has left little for the young ster to tear up anymore around the residences of the city. The change from the old time con ditions is not regretted in the least by the members of the police force who were generally kept on the go from evening until day break trying to catch some of the miscreants.

CITIZENSHIP United States Court Sustains District Courts in Edding Against Cit izenship of Those Who Evaded Draft From Monday's Dallv The office of Clerk of the District Court James M. Robertson, has re ciived from" the naturalization de partment cf the U. S. government the opinion cf the United States circuit coY:rt of appeals covering the cases of aliens who were denied their cit izenship in the district courts for the reason that during the war they had claimed exemption from the selec tive draft law on 'tlie ground Qf their cit:zfcii.-hip in the countries at war with the United States. Almost every district court has hed ore or mere of these cases to "o:iie before ilu-m and in each case the court has held that the appli cant was not entitled to his citizen ship on the grounds that he had c'aimed the allegiance to the powers with wtifD) the United States was ut wsr, as the reason for exemption. In one cf these cape? tried in St. Lrfv.iif, ?,iisp.ouri. an appeal war prosecuted by Fritz Marx to the I'niu-d Siates Circuit court and the r3?ult h.-.s been that the higher court dvr.ied the apoal and sustained the action of the lower courts.

In most of the cases the parties did net desire to do service for their country of their birth but used it as a pre text to prevent them sharing the dangers hat the American born and TLaturalired citizens bore-,- in 4ue world war.' ' ' THE PASSING OF OLD LANDMARK Walker's Ranch Will Soon Be Memory One Time Rendez vous of Gamblers. Axtell. Neb., Oct. 31. Decay is about to wipe out the last physical evidences of Walker's ranch a site that represented a dual personality in the early history of Nebraska. All that is left of one of the interesting landmarks of the early days is a group of aAhen gray walls that once shielded from the plains some of the most notorious characters of early; Nebraska, as well as being a rendez-. vous cf gambling and brawls that'1 are registered in the historic annuls cf the early seventies. There is the same old house, a low frame affair, the same stable and out-buildings with a wide street running between the buildings, but the elements have left the mark of time that lack of a caretaker would permit. The character of David B. Ball, the p. esent owner, in one way or another connected with the place since it first served as a terminal point fcr ,lbe mail service between the Platte and Republican rivers, is woven in the history of Walker's ranch. It was in 1870 that Ball relin quished his service to Charles Walk er, who put up the buildings and es tablished a station near the west side of -Kearney county. This loca tion has since been known as Walk er's ranch. Illness, and later death, removed Walker from the ranch and a few days later Walker's ranch was "owned" by a man named Smith and a companion nicknamed "Polly." They declared they had purchased Walker's ranch. Neighbors yet say the ranch was "jumped" and the land stolen. The standard of con duct in the west and significant ref erences to the old graveyards south of Lowell and Valley City had some effect on a desire to contest the pair's claim. After Smith's advent "Walker's ranch" began its career that ulti mately found Smith in jail on a mur der and federal charge, then out again, and to the present day "whereabouts unknown." Hir part ner In the brawl that resxilte.l in: "Polly" being shot to death by! Smith and in the wounding of manyj others, served three years in prison. J Smith, who took refuge behind bis own entrenchments, was capture 1 by, a ccup on the part of Ball and a) posse. He was locged in fi'. Lowell county jail and then escaped.
