From the inspiring look on Grandpa Bell’s countenance, it would seem that the importance of being grandpa to a little angel has ; elevated him into the seventh heaven. Last Friday morning a little 2-year old son of Thos. Ward, in Webster ! township, was accidently shot by his I k-year-old brother. It seems Mr. Ward had loaded the gun to shoot a hawk that was bothering around, leaving it leaning against the wall in one of the rooms in the home. Later, the older brother attempted to carry the gun into another room, when he let it fall, the gun exploding and the contents burying themselves in the right arm of the infant, most of which passed through the fleshy part of the forearm, only a dozen shot having to be picked out by doctors hurriedly called. At last accounts, 'tiie little patient was doing well, and no serious results are feared. A good joke, and what is better, a true one. is told on two of Loup City's best young men at the late State Fair. On arriving in the city, in stead of hunting up a room the first thing they went out to the fair and enjoyed themselves till a late hour. Coming in from the grounds, they inquired for a hotel and were direct ed to one of the famous hostelries and wended their way thither. Ar riving. as they supposed, at the said hotel, which was brilliantly lighted. ; they stepped in and asked for a room. With a look of surprise, the man accosted repeated their request and asked what they meant. “We want a room." replied the spokesman. I "this is a hotel, isn’t it?” "So." ! gave back the man. “this is an ! undertaker's establishment.” I>raw ! the curtain. District court convened Tuesday, witli .1 udge Hostetler presiding and | Court Reporter Hermanson on duty, j There was very little business eom j ing before the court, which adjourned Wednesday afternoon. The divorce ease of Hendrickson vs. Hendrickson was tried, ending in R. I>. Hendrick ] son lieing granted a divorce from Mary A. K. Hendrickson, and the I court directing plaintiff to give $1,000 | alimony and pa> costs of the suit. | In an interview with R. P. Starr, attorney for defendant, he informed us he i.ad been instructed by tiis client to take an appeal to the supreme court. Several other and minor matters were settled, but nothing of special import. District court meets again the latter part of November, th ing an equity session. There will l*e no jury term this year, hence the G. H. Gibson criminal libel case w ill go over till the first jury term of nest year. While Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Carlsen. I>r. Longaere and Dr. Allen were going up the valley toward Arcadia last Monday evening by auU*. with I>r. Longaere as chauffeur, and when near the Felix Makowski farm, some twelve miles north, the auto struck a deep chuck hole in the road, sud denly stopping the machine, throw ing Mrs. Carlsen with violence to the road, severely bruising her about the head and face and throwing Dr. Longaere forward, badly wrenching <>ne knee. Mr. Carlson and Dr. Allen in the back seat, were badly jolted, but receiving no injury otherwise. The auto was going at a moderate pace, otherwise the occupants believe they all might have been killed or ladly injured. The entire fault lay with the road, which was in miserable shape and unfit for travel, and it lieing after dark they were unaware of the condition till they met with the mishap. It took the party some two hours to get the auto out of the hole and in running order. Among other cases adjudicated in District Court this week was that of the old Sekutera judgment. County Attorney Mathew filed a motion to have the compromise and release of the judgment made in January 190fi, cancelled and set aside. The court held in favor of this motion and against the defendant Sekutera. This was a judgment for costs in a criminal case in the sum of $14fi.83 rendered against Sekutera in 1901. he being a minor, not yet 21 vears of age at the time. It seems that some question was brought up at the time as to the validity of the judgment, it being rendered against a minor, and same not having been collected for five years the board accepted S50.00 in full settlement and ordered the release of the judgment. The court held that county boards do not have authority to compromise judg ments of this kind and stated in open court that it was not necessary to issue an execution, that "all the talk about the judgment becoming dormant if execution was not issued was twaddle," that “a judgment in favor of the state never becomes dormant whether execution is issued or not." This ought to settle the question as to the Sekutera judg ment for all time, and the county will now get the balance of the money due on the same. 4 A picture of father ant1 mother.”— How it wouid delight\our children, how it would please your friends.
