are convenient. The following com

Meets with Serious Accident
One day last week while Ray Beck
er was adjusting a hay rope in the
cupola of the barn at the Becker
home, he slipped and fell, sliding
down the roof of the barn and from
which he then fell some twenty feet,
alighting on his feet. He received in
jaries which confined him to his bed
for a number of days. He was able
to be in town on Monday of this week
although he complained of being very
sore and stiff and was considering the
matter of going to Omaha to have
an X-ray taken to escertain the ex
tent of his injuries. He was fortunate
in not being more seriously injured
and is pleased that he is able to be
up at this time.
Judge Todd Buys Business
On Monday of this week, A. L.
Becker, who has been in business for
a number of years, and who recent
ly disposed of his mercantile line
here to W. H. Seeley, and having
more than was wanted by the pur
chaser, moved the remainder into the
Morton room, where he has been
disposing of them as far as possible
unto the date above mentioned when
he sold them to Judge L. G. Todd,
who is establishing a business there.
Mr. Todd is well and favorably
known, and has a host of friends
and should make good as a merchant
here. Mr. Todd besides purchasing
the remaining stock of the Becker
store, will add new goods and a
complete line of first class meats
and groceries. See his announcement
stating that he has purchased the
business and will furnish the best
goods at prices which will meet with
the public favor. Mr. Todd purchas
ed the fixtures which were in the
store, the cash register going to Mr.
L. R. Upton.
Citizens Show Patriotism
In every way assisting in the so
lution of the problems which come
to the committee having in charge
the entertainment of the visitors
who are to come to the annual Old
Settlers' picnic, the city and its citi
zens have agreed to open their
grounds for the entertainment of
the visitors, thus minimizing the ex
pense of those attending and making
the matter as nearly free as possible.
For this spirit, the committee in
charge of the arrangements for the
picnic are truly thankful and desire
to so express themselves.
