From Saturday's Dally The call came this morning from the vicinity of Nehawka for the coun ty representatives of the law to hast en down to that usually peaceful lit tle city and straighten out a domestic triangle or some other kind of an angle that had arisen. It was found on arrival there that a disturbance had arisen between a lady who had been making her homo in that locality for some time and the parties at whose place she was resid ing. The bat tin had been a verbal one only but had occasioned so much feeling that parties had called the law. County Attorney Kieck, who pos sesses the diplomacy of Secretary Kellog was the head of the law party and was assisted by Deputy Sheriff Rex Young and they were able to in duce the lady, who had come to the town of Nebraska from the thriving town of which Big Bill Thompson is mayor, to leave Nehawka and return to Chicago. The lady was brought up by the officers so that she might catch a train out of our through line terminals and with her departure the status quo seems to have bea res tored in the community. The party on their return resemb led a small freight train as there were many articles and keepsakes that the lady desired to transport and large and small grips is well as bird cages and musical instruments com prised the load that filled the car of the deputy to the limit. The trouble happened at the right time as the lady was able to take ad vantage of the excursion rates east and doubtless on the trip there will be music and so on as the birds and mandolin get into action on the train and-'Cheer the wearied travelers who are -taking advantage of the low rates to" go eat and see ""the Cubs play ball.

WHAT'S IN A NAME From Saturday's Dally The question of "What's In a Name" was a query we believe by Sir Walter Rawleigh or perhaps Lydia Pinkham, but anyway one of our prominent residents is asking himself the same question. It seems that this well known young man who is also an abstractor as a side line, had gone to Omaha yesterday and was induced despite his protests to go out to the tracks where King Ak's horses are now doing their stuff in the summer races. Now the young man paid little heed to his companions, many or them be ing hardened race track devotees and who have been known sometimes to pick a winner deciding in his own mind that he would play "hunches" and right away the hunch came to place on "Rapidan," seemingly nam ed after the pretty little stream that flows down in Ole Virginia, but say the stream is a raging torrent com pared with the horse so Bob says. The race was on and after the first lap Rapidan was not to be seen and when the horses dashed under the tape, the horse of which the hopes and fears, mostly fears, of our friend was placed, failed to show up. Horses came and went but 'Rapidan" did not appear until after all others had cantered over the finish, as the horse that bore one of the proudest names in Virginia finished 150 lengths be hind the field in the race. Bob says you cannot make a ten year old step in the two and four year old class. LEAVE FOR WYOMING From Saturday's Dally Misses Marie and Eleanor Hiber departed today for tne west, going to Wyoming for a vacation of several weeks at points of interest in that great mountain state.
