All Time Heat
Records Broken
in Middle West
Sunday Proves Hottest Day in Hi3
tory of Weather Bureau in
Eastern Nehraska.
The torrid rays of the sun, with
great sultry conditions made Sunday,
August 3rd, a record breaker in the
history of the middle west, with
temperatures ranging from 110 to
113 over the states of Nebraska
Iowa and Kansas, the hottest spots
in the nation.
The Omaha weather bureau, with
a record of 111, established the hot
test day in the history of the weath
er bureau, while in this city the
temperature reached the same figure.
Fremont and Ashland reported tem
peratures of 112 and 113 as the day
closed.
The day was one that caused a
great deal of suffering to the resi
dents of the heat stricken areas as
well as great damage to the crops
that lay under the blazing rays of
the sun, residents of the cities and
towns being driven to seek cooler
conditions in driving, bathing at the
beaches, along the streams and the
country side, only to find the blister
ing heat everywhere. Those who re
sorted to "joy" riding, found it far
different from that, as the hot wind
that came into their cars made this
popular diversion far from pleasant.
The corn suffered much during the
day as the heat beat down upon it.
following practically an entire month
of the dry, hot conditions and a week
of continuous hot weather when the
mercury had gone well over the 100
mark each day.
HOLD PRELIMINARY HEARING
From Monday's Daily
This morning another chapter of
the trouble at the Arnold Mast home
some weeks ago, was unfolded in the
county court when the preliminary
hearing was held on the charge filed
against Edward Murray charging
him was assault on Earl Troon with
intent to kill and murder. The com
plaint was filed by the complaining
witness. Earl Troop and on which
the information was filed by the
county attorney.
The hearing developed practical
ly the same line of testimony as that
at the Theron Murray hearing. W.
O. Troop and Earl Troop being the
two witnesses called by the state in
the case while the defense offered no
evidence in the hearing, reserving
their defense for the trial in the
district court.
The testimony of the witnesses
were to the effect that the defendant
had been the aggressor in the attack
on William Troop and had shot while
fighting with Earl Troop.
The court after hearing the evi-
evidence entered the order binding
Mr. Murray over to the district court
for trial at the November term, he
being released on the bond of Albert
Murray.
The case attracted much attention
and neighbors of the parties from the
vicinity of Nehawka were here in
large numbers to listen to the case,
as the parties concerned ore old time
residents in that part of Cass coun
ty and members of well known fam
ilies of the county.
ENJOY FISHING TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Sedlak

Plans for the
New School Year
Now Under Way
New Teachers Selected and Buildings
Made Ready fcr the Opening
of the School Year.
At the regular meeting of the
board of education held at the super
intendent's office Monday night, two
new teachers were elected to the
teaching staff of the local schools
Mr. Harold Jordan of Valentine was
elected to the commercial position
formerly held by Mr. Cunningham
who resigned in order to accept the
superintendency of the Snyder schools
for next year. Mr. Jordan is a grad
uat of the University of Nebraska,
having completed the course in busi
ness administration. He is qualified
to teach any subject offered by the
commercial department of the high
school. He will divided the work of
this department with Mr. Starrett.
The board has let the contract for
the installation of steel ceiling in six
rooms of the high school building
Provision is also being made to have
the athletic grounds graded and put
in shape for football practice which
will be started with the opening of
school in September. The survey of
the grounds, formerly known as the
tourist park, is about completed so
work of grading the field can be start
ed at once. Mr. Hudson, head cus
todian, is progressing nicely with
the annual house cleaning which in
sures all school buildings being in
the best of condition by September 1.
The board also plans to make some
changes this year in the assignment
of pupils to the various school build
ings. Last year, in response to ur
gent requests from school patrons,
kindergarten departments were open
ed in the Columbian and Central
buildings. The work was in charge
of Miss Grace Shawhan who taught
a half day in each building. Parents
having children in this department
were well pleased with the work,
many children from first and second
wards attending Central building by
special request of their parents.
Present plans provide for all be
ginners this year in both first and
second wards to take their kinder
garten work at the Central building,
in half day sessions. This arrange
ment is made possible by the fact
that there will be fewer beginners
from these two wards this year than
formerly. The second grade will re
place the C class at the first and
second ward buildings. This will re
lieve the congestion in the second
grade at the Central building which
has always been a problem. C class
work will be continued at Mercer
vilie and Wintersteen.
The enrollment at the Columbian
building has increased to the point
where it will be necessary to trans
fer the fifth grade to Central build
ing this year. The two fifth grades
at Central can absorb this increased
enrollment so It will not be neces
sary to add another teacher.
The board feels that these adjust
ments will increase the efficiency of
the schools without adding to the
cost of operation. Every effort is be
ing made to conduct the schools in
as economic a manner as possible,
compatible with the high standards
of modern education which the local
schools endeavor to maintain.

RECEIVES NEWS OF DEATH
From Tuesday's Dully
James M. Roberts-on of this city
today received a message from
Franklin, Nebraska, announcing the
death of Mrs. David Robertson, widow
of a brother of Mr. Robertson. The
deceased lady was one of the earliest
settlers in the vicinity of Frankiin,
going to that county in the early
seventies when that section was first
opened for settlement and the pioneer
lady parsed away on the homestead
that she and her husband settled on
so many years ago. Mrs. Robertson
is survived by a son and daughter.
The deceased lady was born in
England and was married in Scot
land to David Robertson in the late
sixties before the family started west
ward to the new world to make their
home.
Mrs. Sarah E.
Peoples Dies at
Home of Son
Aged Lady Called to the Last Long:
Rest at the Ripe Old Age
of Eighty-Five
rom Tuesday's Dally
This morning just after the mid
night hour, Mrs. Sarah E. Peoples,
aged So, was called to the last long
rest, death coming after an illness
of some weeks' duration in which
the patient has gradually yielded to
the infirmities of her age and passed
peacefully to the last long rest.
Mrs. Peoples had made her home
here with her son, N. K. Peoples and
family, on North Eighth street for
the past few years and assisted in
keeping the home together following
the death of Mrs. Peoples some years
ago.
In her residence here, this estim
able lady has made many warm
friends who will share with the
members of the family circle the
deep sorrow that her passing has oc
casioned, but she leaves to the fam
ily the memory of a life well spent
and filled with devotion to the mem
bers of her family &tH tbo- friends.
A more extended biographical
sketch of the life of Mrs. Peoples
will be given later in the Journal.
FIRE CREATES STIR
In some mysterious manner the
awning in front of the Searl S. Davis
real estate office on North Fifth
street was caught afire and before the
blaze was extinguished the awning
was practically consumed and it was
necessary to tear down the, blazing
cloth to prevent the wooded frame
work of the window from catching.
The fire was kept under control and
extinguished when Clate Rosencrar.s,
who has a barber shop adjoining the
Davis office, brought a small garden
hose to the scene and which checked
the blaze.
The cause of the fire is a mystery,
he awning being rolled up at the
time and whether one of the English
sparrows that infest the awning car
ried a lighted cigarette butt from the
walk up into the cloth, or some one
tossed a cigarette thoughtlessly
against the side of the building that
odged in the awning and finally
caused the fire, is a question.
Fred Vincent, a fireman,
others helped put out the blaze
and

Makes Splendid
Record as Head of
Legal DepaiWt
w.
G. Kieck, Present County Attor
ney Has Proven Worthy Man in
Work of His Ofice.
For the taxpayers and residents of
a county the office of county attorney
is one of the most importance and
if not properly handled there may be
large amounts of costly and useless
litigation unburdened on the taxpay
ers of the county.
In his first term in this office which
is now closing, W. G. Kieck, the pres
ent county attorney, has shown his
deep regard for the important respon
sibilities of his office and the safe
guarding of the interests of the coun
ty and the taxpayers by his wise and
conservative handling of the office
and avoidance of the office being
made the medium of settling personal
differences in matters in which the
county and the interests of law en
forcement were not involved.
Mr. Kieck has served in th3 office
for the past six years, serving a part
of the un-expired term of A. G. Cole
in that office and four years ago be
ing elected to the office, performing
the duties so well that he was unop
posed at the general election.
The duties of the office cover a
wide range of activities, the county
attorney being the legal advisor of
the county board in all matters of
litigation or law points, he also
handles and looks after the various
mother pension claims that come be
fore the county court and which care
for the welfare of over thirty mothers
and their children in the county ai.d
seeing that the fund of $5,000 is con
served and the worthy and needy
cases where the law applies are given
consideration.
The present county attorney has
also cared for clearing up many cases
of delinquent real estate and plac
ing on the tax list properties long
useless as far as the payment of taxes
was concerned, some $10,000 being
cleared in this manner in the city.
In the criminal branches of his
office he has conducted a strict pro
gram of law enforcement and in the
six years has secured many convic
tions for all manner of crimes, prose
cuting in the cases of the store rob
bers apprehended in the county as
well as assisting in the smashing of
a ring of chicken thieves that were
a menace to the farmers of the coun
ty for many months and seeing that
they were sent to the penitentiary.
He has in his term prosecuted over
100 cases of liquor law violations,
several being old offenders and for
long terms.
In the discharge of his office Mr.
Kieck has been prosecutor and not
persecutor, giving fair and impartial
consideration of all cases and to dis
cover the truth and Eee that the
guilty is punished and the innocent
protected.
The county has need of a safe con
servative administration of the office
that Bill Kieck has given and his
renomination and re-election should
be given by a splendid vote.
