Make Gruesome Find.
While the people of Weeping Wa
ter who are so greatly interested in
the fascinating game of horse shoe
pitching were making their new
courts they found a tombstone with
th following inscription theneon:
Sara Harmon, daughter of M.' Har
mon, died January 14th, 1S72, aged
22 years, 5 months and 14 days.
The find created a good deal of
interest and much speculation was
rife as to whether the body was
buried there or not, and after much
digging it was concluded that there
was r.o one buried there, but that
the stone had been left there by some
one.
Making Excellent Playground.
Many people of Weeping Water
love the game of pitching horse shoes
and have been enjoying in a limited
way with two places to pitch horse
shoes, in the rear of the blacksmith
shop of Newton L. Grubbs and while
the place is an excellent one, with
shade and away from the streets, it
did not accommodate enough to
satisfy all who desired to play the
game.
Like Weeping Water does and
which is manifested in the manner
that they cared for the preparing of
the grounds and buildings for the
Cass county fair, they all worked,
and in this case they all worked,
making the work light. Like in the
rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem,
"They all had a mind to work," and
thus have gotten the grounds graded,
using a tractor, teams and many men
with shovels, the working man, the
merchant and Tire tailor all taking
turns at the work as well as the re
tired business man and farmer. How
ever they have gotten the grounds
in good conuition and provided a
good place for recreation, having
eight places to pitch, which will ac
commodate some thirty-two playing
at the same time. Whila Weeping
Water had many expert horse shoe
pitcher3 they are expecting to have
more. The court will be lighted at
night, providing for games at night,
and Weeping Water extends a cordial
invitation for lovers of this game
from other places and no matter
where, to come and enjoy the sport.
They will later- hold a tournament
and invite teams from other place3
to come and enjoy the sport.
Truck Tire Ignites.
O. Silverthread, a truckman from
Raymond, was looKtng alter some
business matters in Weeping Water
on Wednesday afternoon, and as he
stopped on the pavment near the
north end of the drug store of J. J.
Meier, the tightening of the brakes
caused the tire to slip slightly on
the pavement which was hot and at
the same time the tire was overheat
ed by its running, and a slight spark
was caused which a3 the car stood
there grew into a larger fire and was
discovered by people in the offices
when they carried water to put the
fire out which seemed to have but
little effect. The wheel was remov
ed and the tire and rim separated.
and finally the tire was dragged to
the creek where it was drenched in
the water before TTie fire quit burn
ing. We had been hearing people say
that it was a hot day, but we did
not think it was that hot. But we
were convinced that there was a hot
time in the old town.

NORRIS FAVORS MODIFICATION
Washington, June 20. "If prohi
bition is not satisfactory and it is
not I believe the United States
must try some modified or compro
mise plan to deal with the liquor
question," Senator Norris (R.), Ne
braska, one of the oldest stalwarts
drys of the senate, declared Monday.
While declaring liimself not yet
ready to advocate resubmission of
the Eighteenth amendment, Norris
declared he has been considering the
question of a change in prohibition
for tome time.
"I do not believe in resub
mission for outright repeal,
without any substitute," he said,
"because that means the return
cf the saloon, and the saloon
must never return.
"I have long been interested,
however, in proposals for beer
and light wines, and it may be
that some such modification will
answer the question. We have
never had a chance to try that,
you know. It might solve the
problem."
He protested that he is not yet
ready tc advocate resubmission, "be
cause we are going to do nothing
right away."
He added, however:
"There is a possibility the
plan of Governor Smith, for
state dispensaries to sell liquor,
with strict provisions that none
shall be consumed on the prem
ises, might be satisfactory. Or
the plan of Colonel Anderson,
of the Wickersham commission
might also be satisfactory."
