Oecile. to Mr. Rutus Hid dleson. eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M Hiddleson, also of this city. Rev. H. S. Wold, formerly pastor of the Baptist churcn here. officiating. The wedding was a quiet affair, only the near relatives and friends being present. The reception was held at the home of I»r. and Mrs. A. S. Main. The young couple will go to house keeuing on the farm of the bride's tatlier in Webster township. The Northwestern extends warmest con gratulations and best wishes for their future success and happiness. Prospect for City Hall Wc understand A. L. Zimmerman has made an offer to the city to erect a cement building on his lots just south of his new cement business building, making it two stories and adding another story to the building i iust erected, the second story over both buildings to be for a city hall, providing the city will finish and furnish it. The proposition, we un derstand. is being favorably consider ed among Loup City's business men and capitalists and it is not im probable some action w ill l»e taken in the matter at an early date. The Northwestern, a.- well as our citizen ship generally have seen the urgent need of a -uitabie city hall of gener ous dimensions and urges that some action be taken toward accepting Mr. Zimmerman's proposition or in some way giving the city that modi needed improvement. Monday evening of this week oe curred the annual election of officers ' of the Woodmen lodge, as follows: Venerable Counsel. R. I». Hendrick i son: Worthy Advisor. H. J. Johansen: i clerk. W ard VerValin: banker. E. G. Taylor: escort. Peter Rowe: watch man. S. F. Reynolds: n anager. 3-year term. John W Long: manager. 2-year term. A L. Zimmerman. The lodge starts out the new vaar with an ex ceptionally strong and able official roster and we look for splendid re sults. A very large number of tiie Neigh heir? were present, about eighty ah toid. and were given a fine talk by' Neighbor Kester of the Head Camp. A very interesting session was held and the interest was unaliated tiie entire evening until about tiie mid- 1 night hour, when the session closed, j The Neighbor who missed tiie treat of being present missed tiie event of I liis iile. We received a pleasant call last Friday from our good friend. George Holmes of Bristol township, who re cently returned from a six weeks' visit to his boyhood home at Delhi, N. V., among the Catskill mountains. Mr. Holmes reports a most enjoyable time visiting his good old mother, who is in her 84th year, and still hale ■ and hearty, and in looking over old scenes and iia. itig an ali-around good time among the scores of relatives, many of whom have arrived and grown to manhood and womanhood during his years of absence helping to make Nebraska tiie best state in tiie Fnion. Last evening the K. P. brotherhood of this city gave work in tiie third degree and closed with an oyster supper. Some forty or fifty of the Sir Knights were present and a jolly ! time was had till near the midnight! hour. Tiiis is one of the finestj brandies of that order anywhere, and tiie best of feeling and brotherhood i is always in evidence. It positively I lias no element of discord within its ; ranks. Tiie K. P. boys are tiie best j ever. Rev. H.S. Wold of Wakonda.S. I>., formerly pastor of the Baptist church, arrived here Tuesday and was the guest of Grandma Gilbert of Webster township. He came to officiate at the Hiddleson-Angier wedding last evening and will remain over Sunday, preaching that morning and evening, at tiie Baptist church, and also on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week, leav ing for home Wednes day morning following. We received a pleasant call Friday from Mr. L. Pomgard of Webster township. Mr. Pomgard may take a trip to Northern California this com ing spring, where he used to live, with the prospect of purchasing land and making iiis home there. He finds i he climate here not so good for hi? health, so lie judges, lienee tiie possible change. He is a good citizen to keep here and w e trust may not go. our invincibe girls basket ball team went down to St. Paul last Frdiay and of course again worsted ; the latter in a splendid game, the score being i"> to 8. The boys' team I did not lare so well, the St. Paul j boys putting it over them to the tune of It’ to 41. After the game, a reception .was given to the visitors, i who came home enthusiastic over the pleasant time enjoyed. A few days since, an anxious mother was warning her little tt-year old daughter against handling and eating snow, telling her of the danger ’ of diptheria, etc., which might cause her sickness and death. After a thoughtful silence for a few moments she burst out sobbing. "I don't want to die before Christmas." Such is the effect of Christmas time on the little ones. Mrs. B. T. Snyder returned last Saturday from a protracted visit to Lincolu. called there by the illness of her daughter. Mrs. Daisy Cowper. who is now fully recovered Fred Zwink came home from the hospital at Grand Island last evening Mrs. Dr. Evaus returned home last Friday from her Iowa visit. E. S. Hay hurst went to Lincoln 1 y esterday morning on business. Incompetent Horse thief Sunday morning about 3 o'clock, a partially deaf and dumb mute, going under the name of Arthur Saulsbury. appropriated a horse from Everett Pickerel, on the old Pick Baker place, on dear Creek, and was caught with the go.Kis by Sheriff Williams at the Pinsdale farm a few miles south ! of this city and placed in the county's hospitable home of detention, to be polite in speaking. The tacts are as follows: About a year since, a young fellow, partially deaf and dumb, came to the home of Mr. Pickerel looking for work, and was taken in and cared for tor a time and finally given a job. working about a month, when lie was paid off and left. Last Sunday morning. Mr. Pickerel on going to his barn found one of his horses stolen, immediately notified Sheriff Williams and then commenced tracking the horse, which was easily I followed because of the heavy snow. When he reached the farm of W. O. Brown he met the sheriff coming in with the prisoner and the stolen animal tied behind the wagon. The | sheriff and his deputy had learned i the whereabouts of the man and horse and caught nis man near the Pins I dale farm, where he had aliandoned j the horse and fled to the river, where he vva> captured. The fellow proved ; to be the aforesaid deaf and dumb hand Mr. Pickerel had employed a year ago. and his excuse for taking the animal was that the former owed . him for a couple of weeks' work and ; he was going to sell the hflrse to get i the money he alleged was coming to him. Monday afternoon complaint was tiled and the young man. claim ing to b> but 19 years of age. was taken l efore County J udge Smith for preliminary hearing. Having no funds to employ counsel and wanting it, the hearing wa.- held over to Tuesday morning, when Judge Wall and J. S. Pedler appeared in his behalf, show i ing defendant to be mentally irre sponsible. absol utely ignorant of the enormity of the offense, and in fact a pitiable object who enlisted all the sympathies of those hearing and knowing the facts pertaining thereto, j The county attorney and Mr. Pick erel also looked at the matter as be ing one for leniency, the latter not desiring to push the matter, and the former recommending that the pris oner be discharged without prejudice. The court reviewed the case and on 1 recommendation of the county attor ney set the nan free. The young man ‘appears to lie of Italian birth, is very ignorant of our taws, not strong mentally, and it appeared to the court that in holding such a one for several months at the expense of the county till the session of district court next year, the date not set. as it was evident lie could not give bonds would be an injustice to the prisoner, the taxpayers, and probably in the end fail of conviction, the judge undoubtedly followed the dic tates of good judgment. An inter preter. who could talk to the prisoner in the sign language, was ordered to convey to the poor fellow all that transpired and give him to under stand he was free so long as he here after obeyed law and lived correctly, all of which the overjoyed, badly handicapped young fellow readily assented to. seeming to vaguely un cerstand the nature of his offense. The Southwestern feels that the judge, the prosecution and the defense did the right tiling in the name of justice and common sense, and that the action will Lie so taken by all cognizant of the circumstances. HABEAS COIIPUS CASE Nary N. Reiger vs. Bridget J. Fagan Respondent On I tec. 13th. Mary M. Reiger tiled her petition before the count, judge alleging that the respondent wa> un lawfully depriving Zoe W. I tennis and Leona M. Itennis. the minor children of the relator, of their liberty. The sheriff served the writ and took pos session of the children and the case was tried the afternoon of the 14th with H. L. Bell representing the relator and R. H. Mathew and Judge 1‘edler representing the respondent, and after hearing the evidence and argument of counsel. Judge Smith decided in favor of the respondent and directed the sheriff to return the possession of the children to Mrs. Fagan, as it appeared by the evidence that Mrs. Reiger some three years ago through her brother-in law, Jas. Holyctoss. delivered these children to the widow Fagan, who had cared for them ever since, and as the little ones were much in favor of remain ing with the Fagans, and their ap pearance indicating that they were well taken care of and it further appearing that the mother and step father were not financially able to provide for the care, nurture and education of said children and that the interests of the children would be best subserved by remaining in the custody of Mrs. Fagan and Judge Smith so ordered. While the mother felt badly about the matter, those w ho attended the trial coincided with the decision of Sudge Smith that the childrens' welfare was best subserved by their remaining with Mrs. Fagan. The Fagan's showed a most generous disposition in voluntarily offering to pay the costs after winning the case. The Northwestern welcomes an | other new family man among its j readers in the person of Charley Gibson, who wants to start his new j life right. Charley is following in Lhe footsteps of a large number of I our Sherman county young married men who find this paper indispensible i in all well-regulated households. | < Adjudged Insane Last Thursday, on information ! tiled by her foster son. Solomon. Mrs Elizabeth Winteeer of Rockxille. wife ; of C. II. Wineteer. was brought to Loup City and taken t>efore the com ! mission of insanity in the afternoon, after a very thorough investigation of witnesses pro ami eon. was ad ludged of unsound mind and Friday morning was taken to the asylum at Hastings. Mrs. S. F. Reynolds assist ing Sheriff Williams. The w itnesses 1 on both sides were very Insistent in | thei' views, but all agreed as to the ' old ladv being a woman of ungovern able temper, which had gone un restraio ■ i for so many years there little doubt that a period of rest and quiet and away from home scenes was for the best. It was a pitiable eas -. and it is sincerely to be hoped that she may be restored to health and perfect reason. — •• •» For Sale—Five choice Du roe-Jersey boar pigs and one yearling pedigreed Shorthorn hull calf, at my farm nine miles north ol Loup City.
