Cars Impounded.
Saturday was a busy time here for
a number of the representatives of
the state department of public works
who visited this locality and rounded
up some fourteen cases of violation
of the state law covering automobile
license plates.
The representatives of the state
department swooped-down on a num
ber who were driving their cars and
trucks with paper tags and also sev
eral garage dealers were checked up
on the number of cars that were be
ing driven under a dealer's license.
There were some fourteen rounded
up and several cars impounded until
the owners proceed to get the proper
plates and licenses on the cars that
will permit them being released and
turned over to the owners.
There have been a great many vio-
t lations of this character reported and
the officers are checking up to see
that all the rules and regulations of
the law are complied with by those
who own or operate cars.
Relative to tlie auto license plates,
the county officials allow a thirty
day grace period from the first of
January, but it would behoove all
car owners to have their proper li
cense plates on by the first of Febru
ary, as this will also be given the at
tention of the authorities.

The Social Workers announces the ;
presentation of the famous war com
edy "Corporal Eagen" at the Par-
mele on Thursday and Friday. Jan
uary 30th and :51st. 1530. The pro
duction is something entirely dif
ferent in the matter of community
entertainment. "Corporal Eagen" is
staged by 200 local people ana is
not onlv a screaming comedy but it
is a patriotic show as well.
It is a story or rookies lire in
which a Jew and an Irish soldier
find themselves in all kinds of dif
ficulties. A number of business men
take part in a feature group, the Ak
ward Squad, representing men who
have been in the army only thirty
days. Their antics are a scream.
There is also a patriotic pageant dis
playing hundreds of flags. The men's
soldier and sailor chorus sing all the
old time army songs. A short minis-
trel is one of the big nits of tne
show.
"Corporal Eagen" is a spectacular
play and is a production you can't
afford to miss. It will be directed and
coached by the Cniversal Producing
Company. Watch for further par
ticulars in regard to this soon.
FIRE AT FRIEDRICH HOME
Monday afternoon at f o'clock the
fire department was called to the
home of Mrs. Martin Friedrich on
North Eighth street where a small
place on the roof of the structure
was blazing tip. The blaze was put
out by the use of chemicals and a.side
from "a small place on the roof which
was burned there '.vas little damage.
The lire was first discovered by James
Bajeck who was going to his home
some four blocks up the bill trom
the Friedrich home and he saw the
first blaze as it started on the shing
les of the house and gave the alarm.
Fortunatelv the sloping roof of the
house protected that section where
the fire was located from the high
north wind or otherwise a very bad
fire would have followed.
Call No. 6 with yonr order for

Secure Drivers
Licenses Now to
Avoid Trouble
T. TT,, 41 , TT T -
Those Who Already Have Licenses
are Safe, but Severe Penalty
for Those Who Have Not
Driving a car, truck or motorcycle i
without the proper driver's license,
is: to become a very serious menace to
the party doing it, says County At-j
torney V . G. Kieck. and those who
failed to s-'ecure their licenses last
yar when the law became operative,
had better do so at once and avoid
the heavy costs and penalties that
the law imposes on those who seek
to evade the law.
The state department of public
works is making a lose c heck cm t he
drivers over the state in regard to
this license law and will lake all the
steps necessary to see that the law is
complied with as a matter of mak
ing tor greater satety in driving on ;
the highways of the state. i
In the year 1!2! the county trc-as-l
urer licensed some LT.I.'i drivers of j
the county, but it is estimated that
there are a large number who drive)
motor vehicles that taib-.i to comply
with the law, the estimate being that
there would be an average of two
drivers to every car registered and
which should place the number of
licenses at S.Ouu in the county, as
Mr. Turner believes.
The cost of the driver's license is
but seventy-five cents, while the pen
alty for not having one and being
caught operating a car or truck, is a
fine of from 51 to $100 and impris
onment in the county jail for thirty'
days, as the court may deem proper,
so it would behoove those who intend
to operate a car to get busy and se
cure the necessary license.
A general drive on the auto drivers
of this section will be launched by
the state at any time and should find
tlie owners and drivers all properly
prepared with the necessary licenses.
Those who secured licenses last
year need not make application this
year as the licenses are continuous,
but those who did no apply must do
so now and pass the required exami
nation to obtain the license.
DEATH OF PETER A. SARPY
One of the long time residents of

Indians in the late thirties and for
ties. The death of Peter A. Sarpy

few blocks away, at that time
there being a continuous bluff where
Third street now runs. On his re
turn home he informed his house
keeper. Mrs. Finney, that his days
were few and this prophecy proved
correct, he passing away a few days
ter.
Peter A. Sarpy was buried here
and the body remained until the
spring or lMb wnen it was tawen
by steamboat to St. Lins. where
it was re-interred and still is buried,

WANDERER RETURNS
From Tuesday's lJau.y
Some time ago Sheriff Ilert
Reed
aged
had as a guest at his tail, an
man wnose memory as to nis
cr occupation seemed to be
home
badly
shattered, and the aged man remain
ed here under the care of the genial
sheriff until his mind cleared suffi
ciently to let it be known that he
had at one time lived in Texas and
further search revealed that his old
home had been at Electa. Texas.
The count v supplied the transporta
tion to take the old gentleman back
to his home where he- had two sons
living, the shcriiT bidding him what
was thought to be a farewell. Last
evening the' man. Allan Crawford,
arrived back in this city, and was
again on the hands of the sheriff. It
seems that when the old gentleman
arrived at Electa that the two sons
proceeded to buy him a ticket back
to Nebraska instead of caring for
him. The wanderer hs recalled that
he formerly lived atAuburn and to
that place this morning Sheriff Rett
Reed shipped him. and is now aw
ing further developments.

MARRIAGES PICK UP
The year 1929 was a very profit
able one in the way of marriage li-;
censes issued in the office of County
Judge A. II. Duxbury and for the
year there were 116 licensed to wed
'while in 192S the number securing
the necessary passport to matrimonial
happiness was only 10S. This is the
largest number that has applied here
since the repeal of the ten day no-
i tice clause of the state law in 192;
Many
local people were wedded at
.other points but the number of non-
resident applicants has more than off
set those who have gone to otter
places to he wedded.
