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

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.

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 |

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.
