Attorney R. J. Nightingale will go ; to Lincoln. Saturday, where be will visit over Sunday with his son. Herbert, and appear before the ! supreme court the first of the week I in tiie Griswold-Szwanek case. Uncle Billy Owens from his trip to Kansas feels sure of that state for Taft. He found tiie sentiment in that state strong enough that way to suit the most ardent republican. At Kansas City lie found a traveling man who was willing to wager even money that Missouri would give a fair majority for the Taft electors. While riding a horse in front of the residence last Thursday evening, Myrl. the 11-year-old son of Treasurer Hiddleson h'ad his right leg broken below the knee by the horse slipping on the cement walk and falling with the boy underneath him. It was a bad accident which will lay him up for repairs for two or three months. Postmaster Owens was called to Strong. Kas.. last week Monday by the sudden death of his only sister's husband. Mr. Goudie. aged 80 years. A couule of weeks previous. Mr. and Mrs. Goudie lost a daughter by sudden death, from which shock the aged father never recovered and coupled with his advanced age caused his demise as aforesaid. Mr. Owens re turned home Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Keeler and son. Earl, arrived home from tiie Pacific Coast country last Friday evening. TVe regret to state that tiie protract ed visit to the coast has not proved as beneficial to Mr. Keeler's failing health as was desired and his con dition remains practically the same. It is to be hoped that lie will mend rapidly on his return home. Miss Pearl Keeler will also return to Loup City some time in November, we are pleased to note, where she will probably remain. G. W. Collipriest and Dr. Allen re turned Monday night from Dallas, | S. D.. w here they went last Friday to! register for Tripp county land. Mr. j Collipriest says everything was as' quiet when he was there as any ordi nary town and that he did not see j one drunken man and that what j gambling was going on was confined to the saloons and conducted in a most quiet and orderly manner. From his experience, the wierd stories of frontier times at that town are “pipe" dreams. Dallas is a little tow n of perhaps 500 people, but the rush will leave the village with at! least a thousand permanent inhabi tants. He says he was well over the land to lie given out and it is fine. He is of the opinion that those who register will have about one chance in HO of winning out. according to the number who will register and the 5000 acres to be drawn. School Notes. Rev Sherman gave the high school a very interesting talk on “Obedience" last Monday morning. The trial debate has been post poned till Oct. 24. The question is.

But for a man to go to a grocery store to have a measure taken for a suit of clothes, what can he expect? Loup City vs. Ravenna. The foot ball game last Saturday between Loup City and Ravenna high schools was the best ever played in this section of the state. The Loop City team especially played well. This team has just been organized, has had only four workouts with a coach and this was their first and only game. The Ravenna team played last year, have had regular work for a month. ] are well equipped with padded suits I and head protectors and had the ad ■ vantage of an average ten to fifteen j pounds extra weight, yet the Loup City team held them down to the j remarkably low score of 11 to 0, all made in the first half. In the second | half the Loup City team was on the ■ aggresive from the start and by steady j line drives were advancing toward j the Ravenna goal when by some mis I take of the officials the ball was given to the opposing team, depriving them of a good chance to score. Ravenna made several attempts through end runs and center rushes to regain the lost ground but losing territory in each attempt they finally punted far into Loup City territory and then making and end run succeeded in landing the ball within a few inches of the goal line just at the call of time. Here another touchdown was claimed but it was vigorously disput-' ed by Loup City, first because the ball was not overthe line and because during the last series of plays the ball rightfully belonged to Loup City.! If the mistake of changing the ball had not been made the score would : probably have been 11 to 5 or *5. The home team deserve our heartiest con- j gratulations on their brilliant first j game. The line-upfor Loup City was Edw. Thrasher, center: Ernest Me Fadden. left guard: Milford Tracy, left tackle: Hemple Jones, left end: Chas. Wharton, right guard: Clark Whitaker, right tackle: Cash Pritch- j ard, right end: Roy Boone, quarter back: Claude Burt, left half: Henry | Musser. right half: Walter Callaham. I fullback. The return game will be, played at Ravenna Nov. 21. Lawrence L. Briggs. Last Friday afternoon occurred the , funeral of Lawrence Briggs from the home of his aunt. Mrs. C. J. Tracy, the body arrivinggrom Sterling. Colo.,! the evening previous for burial in Evergreen cemetery where an infant brother lies. The body was accom panied here by the father, mother two brothers and sisters. The services were conducted by Rev. Hawk of the M. E. ciiurch. Lawrence L. Briggs w as born in 1892 and died Oct. 5,1908. aged lti years and 8 months. He was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Briggs, of Crane, Mo., but formerly residents of this city. Three years ago he graduated with class honors from the 8tli grade of the Hastings. Neb., high school. The following two years he spent in the high schools of1 Carthage and Springfield. Mo. At the time of his death, resulting from typhoid fever, he was a student of railroading, to help pay his way through future schooling, and was employed as a braketnan between Holdredge. Neb., and Sterling, Colo. He was a young man of exemplary habits and ambitous to reach high educational planes, but the hand of the demon death, who is a leveler of ; all things mortal, broke the slender, brittle thread of life, why, we may not know, and leaves father, mother, sisters and brothers, besides many relatives and friends to mourn his | untimely demise. The Northwestern ! is requested to return thanks to the kind friends of the family and rela tives for their sympathy and assist ance in the most trying moments of life's fitful course ending in the last sad rites to the one they so loved. 3 on 62, Ashley Conger, the dray-; man.
