Injured Ker Ankle
Vhile Virginia Pollard was assist
ing in a play which was being given

reporter on a newspaper, she receiv
ed an injury to her ankle that has
proven very inconvenient as well as
painful. During the course cf the
play, she was to be shot by one of the
actcrs as part of the scene. The soft
wax in the blank cartridge was ex
pected to melt as it left the gun, but
it did not and the wax struck Miss
Pollard's ankle with great force, in
flicting a wound. Luckily, the actor
did not aim higher or ever worse re
sults might have occurred. As it is,
she is getting along nicely and very
thankful it was no worse.
ITeliawka Dramatic Club Studies
The members of the Xehawka Dra
matis club are at this time studying
one of the books of the celebrated
writer, John Middletcn, the one which
ras attracted the mo3t attention,
"The Good Woman," and at a meet
ing which was held at the home of
Mrs. Helen Sumner, they gave the
subject a very thorough study.
Has Leg Amputated
Frank Boedeker, who has been
having some trouble with one of his
feet, experienced so much pain and
trouble that it was thought best to
have the same amputated, which was
cone a short time since, at the Mayo
Brothers hospital in Rochester, Min
nesota, lie is now reported as getting
along fairly well.
. Celebrated GSth. Birthday ... .
Stewart Rough was born on . De
cember 3, 1863, at New Albany "In
diana, during the Civil war, and after
a few years there, the parents came to
Lafayette, where Mr. Rough and the
parents resided until he was 14 years
of age, or in 1877, when they moved
to Nebraska and settled near where
the town of Xehawka is now located,
although there was no Xehawka here
then cr any prospects of one.
It will be 55 years this coming
spring, and in all these years, Mr.
Rough has resided in this immediate
locality. Here he was married and
the children were born and grew to
maturity. During the past 15 years,
they have resided in town and with
the children grown, they were able
to see much of the country, taking
many trips in the pa3t ten years.
Mr. and Mrs. Rough quietly cele
brated the passing of his birthday on
last Sunday at their home, being
visited and greeted by their children
and grandchildren. While they are
both near the age of three score, ten,
they are enjoying good health and
the associations of their many
friends.
Quarry lively Place
The Olson stone quarry is a lively
place at this time, they having re
ceived an order for 1G car loads of
stone, which put all of the twenty
employees on their toes and work
ing like beavers to get the order out
on time. With the tractor outfit busy
stripping the ground, the drillers at
wo;k and others loading the stone,
it Iook3 like an important Industry
for Xehawka. Still, all are hoping
this initial order is just a beginning.
fcr there will be a. great deal of rock
used by tne government in river
work during the next ten years, and
inrsmuch a3 the stone has met the
federal requirements, it seems that
the hepe is about to be realized, and
orders will follow orders as the rip
rrr: work progresses in the vicinity of
Cmaha and later further down stream
to Kansas City. This is fine, as it
provides employment at this time of
year for many who would otherwise
be cut cf work and assists in main
taining the family budget.
Has Eesn Very Poorly
Chester Chappell, who has been
afflicted with a number of boils dur
ing the past few months, has been
ur.abls to check the trouble, although
he has seemingly done everything pos
sible to try to bring about a cure and
avoid further spread of the "Job's
comforters." The more recent de
velopments have indicated possible
contamination of the blood and the
young man has been taken to a hos
pital in Omaha, where he Is now be
ing treated in ,the hope that his
health may be restored and the blood
stream cleared up.
Gets Fine New Car
The needs of Walter J. Wunderlich
have necessitated the purchase of a
new car and this time he has select
ed a Plymouth sedan, which he pur
chased from the Clarence Hanson
agency and with which he is espec
ially well pleased.
Found Time Heavy cn Hands
William Brandt and Eugene Fitch,
cf near Xehawka, were among those
selected a3 jury veniremen for the
present term cf district court, being
held in Plattsmouth, and so hustled
up to get their corn picking out of
the way. They appeared at the time
of calling the jury, and after the
selection of twelve men from among
their number to hear the Daniels
murder case, they were excused and
permitted to return home, but as
they had the corn out and nothing
particular to do, they found time
heavy on their hands and hardly
knew what to do while awaiting re
call and the prospect of being picked
to hear some of the many other jury
cases up for trial this month.
Eeceived Fractured Nose
While Superintendent Stimbert, of
the Xehawka schools, was engaged
in practice with the basketball team,
he was struck by a swiftly passed
ball, which struck with such force
as to cause a fracture of his nose.
He immediately went to the office of
Dr. Walters, where the injury was
treated. Since that time, he has been
getting along very nicely, although
he would not relish a repetition of
the accident.
