Makes a Good Umpire
It is claimed that when a, man
shall put his attention to a certain
subject, he can master it, even if it
be a most difficult task, and this has
been proven in the case of Herman
L. Bornemeier, who has his time well
taken up with the many duties of life
on the farm and also studying other
economics, thus materially monopoliz
ing his time. He was called upon to
act in the capacity of umpire . at a
ball game and came to the scratch in
regular order and . dispatched the
work in his usual prompt and effi
cient manner. When in doubt,- askJ
Herman.
Been Playing Ball
Alvo has been playing ball for cer
tain, . and has fully demonstrated
their ability as, handlers, of , the stick
and twirlers of the sphere, for in five
successive games they, have not only
won from their opponents, but shut
them all out as well. The five teams
in the Sunday school league which
they have shut out are , Greenwood,
Eagle, Palmyra, Elmwood and Weep
ing Water. That is surely playing
good ball, and no mistake about it.
They were to have played a tie
game off at the community picnic
held to celebrate the completion of
the schedule in the Cass-Otoe Sunday
School Baseball league last Friday,
with the Unadilla team, but owing to
the rain which was falling heavily
on Friday, the playing may have been
difficult or impossible. Carl Rosenow
was to send a report of the game in
order that we might have it for this
issue, and as we are writing this on
Friday morning, we do not know if
the game was played or not, but are
pretty sure if it was, Alvo proved to
be the winner.

Scottsbluff, Neb. This section of
the North Platte valley was bewild
ered today by the five unnatural
deaths which have occurred within
the last few days.
Last Saturday, Mrs. Elizabeth
Groom3 was killed on the Overland
drive here when her automobile was
crashed into a car driven by New
ton Chatfield. Tuesday afternoon
Victor Gonzales was drowned in the
sand pit swimming pool south of
here. Tuesday night Amelia Domson.
three years old, disappeared and was
found today in an irrigation lateral
near here. This morning Ed Per
chaluk killed himself near Minatare.
In addition to these tragedies, there
have been numerous near fatalities
in automobile crashes, three hap
pening within the last thirty-six
hours on the Oveland drive, where
car3 wtre wrecked beyond repair, but
the occupants miraculously escaped.
The body of Amelia Domson, dau
ghter of George Domson of Scotts
bluff, who had been missing since
6:30 p. m. Tuesday was found in an
irrigation lateral a half mile from
her home, after a concerted search
by hundreds of persons. The body
apparently had floated into shallow
water in front of the irrigation check
where it lodged in a depression and
covered with debris and rubbish.
Belief that the girl drowned was
abandoned for the theory that some
one had run over the child on the
highway and had thrown the body
into the lateral. She was one of a
family of eight children, who are
working in the beet fields here.
Ed Perchaluk, a farmer near Min
atare, killed his wife by shooting
her with a shotgun and then stab
bing her. He later shot himself with
the same gun. No reason other than
temporary insanity has been assign
ed for his act.
Perchaluk first fired the gun in
his yard. His wife came to the door
and asked him not to do that be
cause he made her nervous. He im
mediately went into the house, chas
ed out his children, shot at his wife
but missed her. He than struck her
with the gun and then stabbed her
half a dozen times with his pocket
knife. Removing his shoes and socks.
he laid down beside here and pulling
the trigger of the gun with his toe3,
shot himself in the head.
Eight children, the oldest of whom
is fourteen year old, survive. Only

one child, a four-year-old daughter,
witnessed the tragedy. The others
rushed to a neighboring farm house
and gave an alarm. County author,
itties announced no inquest would be
held.
FRANCE IS FAR FROM DRY
Washington, Sept., 3. The state
department has received no official
word concerning the reported cham
pagne party given by William Cor
ceran, American consul at Boulogne,
i to Gertrude Ederle, in honor of her
j channel swim. Press dispatches
i which aroused the W. C. T. U. in
Douglas county (Omaha) Nebraska,
were observed by department officials
;at the time of publication, but so far
: nave oeen ignored.
I Officials today declined to comment
on tho reported incident except to
point out that American consuls serv
ing abroad are subject to the laws of
the nation to which they are assign
ed and since fhere is no prohibition
law in France, Corceran's conduct, as
suming that the press dispatches wen;
correct, was not believed to have been
offensive to either French authorities
or the French people.
If the incident took place, it in
not anticipated a report will be made,
nor is it probable that a report will
be requested until it is known what
action the Nebraska and the national
W. C. T. U. takes regarding the mat
ter. Fred Kissling departed this
morning for Lincoln where he goes
to meet his wife and son, Ronald,
who are returning home from a visit
of some ten weeks at Yakima, Wash
ington, where they have been at the
homo of Mrs. Killing's mother.
