EJVER IS PJSHJG From Thursday's l-al!y William Grebe, the well known fisherman, who has been one of thf most successful anglers on the river for many years, states that the fish ing is not so good at this time owing to the stormy weather and also that the Missouri river is on the April rise and which caused the fishing tc bo poor until the conditions settle somewhat. Mr. Grebe states that the river has come up quite a little in the last week and that the current that is very wild is setting in strong against the Nebraska side of the river just north of the railroad bridge, making a shoot over from the Iowa side at this point. Mr. Grebe states also that the water that is flowing past the local landing seems .to be from the Platte and Elkhorn rivers and will probably grow to a greater height in view of the exten sive rains. CAED OF THANKS In this manner we wish to express our heartfelt appreciation of the many acts cf kindness anil words of sympathy that has come to us in our sorrow. Words are inadequate to ex press our gratitude and few persons have been blessed as we have with such tender friends. To all of the friends and neighbors, members of the high school, glee club, all of those who took part in the funeral services and sent the beautiful flowers we wish to express our appreciation. X.
