Brooder House Burns. Early last week just as the farm ers were coming in from the fields the chicken house, which was a por tion used as a brooder house for the young chicks, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Cook, caught fire from the explosion of the lamp which was used for warming the young chicks, and was consumed before anything could be done, to extinguish the fire. Mr. Cook hastened to the home and grasping a bushel measure of metal and was able to get it once full of water, and drenched the house as well as he could., and seemed to check the flames for a short time, but before he could get the second one there, the flames had gotten beyond control. The little daughter succeed ed in driving some of the chickens out of the house, but the most of them were destroyed. It was but a few minutes until the entire neigh borhood was there, the cars filling the yard and all doing what they could to extinguish the flames but to no effect, for the building burned entirely. Fear was felt for a time that the barn would also become ignited, but by heroic effort that was averted. There was no insurance on the building burned, and the loss is felt by Mr. and Mrs. Cook very keen ly, and which, without the loss of the chickens was about one hundred and fifty dollars and making it rather late for growing another flock. Card of Appreciation. . We desire to extend our hearty ap preciation of the kindly services of our friends and neighbors who re responded so quickly when the fire consumed our chicken house, and threatened our barn. We surely ap preciate the kindness which prompt ed their efforts to serve us at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Cook. HOME OF ELLIOTT BOMBED New York. Mav 17.

Alvo Citizen Takes Part of a Moving Target Anton King Receives Load of Bird shot Fired at. Him by Father-in-Law. Anton King, a resident of near Alvo had the startling experience a few days ago of being a moving target while the birdshot from the shotgun of his father-in-law, Joe Weaver, played around him and some found lodgment in the person of Mr King as he fled from the Weaver home near Gretna. The King family had gone to Gretna to visit at the Weaver home and as the day progressed the family indulged in arguments that waxed warmer and warmer, it is claimed un til at last the battle grew from words to blows, and it is alleged that Mr. Weaver and Mr. King engaged in several rounds of fast fistic action and in which Mr. Weaver almost scored a technical knockout when it is claimed that Mr. King grabbed the family rocking chair and smote the father-in-law over the dome with the chair and cut a very large and deep gash on the head of Mr. Weaver but which failed to stop the father-in-law, who it is alleged then grabbed a shotgun standing nearby and at which time Mr. King started to re treat from the house, the retreat growing into a route as Mr. Weaver drew a "bead" and opened fire. The first round was wild and lit ahead of the running son-in-law, but the second round was placed, and how! Mr. King returned home and later was taken to Lincoln where an X-ray examination disclosed that there was a number of shot lodged in one of his arms, as well as in other parts of his person and which caused him considerable inconvenience in setting down. The second act of the family argu ment is being staged at Papillion. the county seat of Sarpy county and where the scales of justice will be balanced for the parties in the trou ble.

LATE PLANTED CORN WAS BEST FOR YEAR 1927 Beatrice, May, "While most farm ers are appanently in a big hurry to get their corn planted, I propose to take my time," said Ferd Schultz, Rockford township farmer and demo cratic candidate for state senator. "About the best corn I ever raised on my farm was planted June 1 last year," he remarked, "and it averaged nearly 60 bushels to the acre. If the ground is warm and the planting a trifle late, corn will grow much fast-&ae er than if planted early and allawed ! to lay in the cold ground for days fore it germinates. It is stronger and makes better c-rain when it be-i gins to grow as soon as it is in the ground." There is only "one way you can protect your property against Wind storm and Tornado by insuring it.
