How Dead Horse
Got Its Name
Forty years last Sunday, or to
be more definite, on April 13,1873,
occurred the big blizzard, in which U.
S. Troopers camped on Dead Horse
in the south part of this city, saving
their lives by getting shelter under
the banks and in dugouts, but losing
some 28 Head of their horses, causing
the name Dead Horse to be attached
to a small creek which passes through
this city and emptying into the Loup
just below the city. Following is a
short historic sketch of that great bliz
zard, which was state wide and left
death and destruction in its wake:
“On April 5, 1873, a squad of gov
ernment soldiers was scouting over
the country under command of Cap
tain Munson and Captain Mix, with
William Wentworth, better known as
‘Buckshot,’ as scout, and on the date
above mentioned came into camp at
Loup City. They were here but a
short time when one of the worst
snow storms this country has ever
knownsetin. The settlers toldthem
they had better take their horses to
the timber and camp there, but they
preferred staying in town. Thestorm
grew violently worse and they were
compelled to abandon their wagons
and tents and seek shelter in the log
cabins with the citizens. The storm
lasted for three days, during which
time the soldiers could not get out to
take care of their horses and mules.
Some 28 head drifted into the creek
south of town and smothered to death,
having been covered with the drift
ing snow. This is how the stream
derived the name of Dead Horse
creek.”
An Ideal Bakery
Last Saturday from 2 to 4 in the
afternoon and from " to 9 in the
evening, the Ideal Bakery, opened in
the old opera house, gave receptions
to the public, serving free sandwiches
and coffee to all who called. Over
four hundred oi our people from town
and country took advantage of the
invitation, and all expressed them
selves highly pleased over the op-n
ing of such an elegantly appointed
bakery, restaurant and lunch room in
our midst. Mr. Dolling has had the
old opera house remodelled in tine
shape, has nice furniture and fix
tures, large and up-to-date ovens, and
turns out bread, cake and pie stuffs
that the mere sight of gives appetite
to even the most fastidiousepicurean.
He is a first-class baker in every re
spect and is even now kept busy night
and day in the bakery to furnish the
trade coming to him. We not only
wish him the best of success, but
know he will have it to the fullest
extent.
Partial Paralysis
The many friends of Mrs. Mary A.
Gardner will be pained to learn that
the dear old lady last Friday suffered
a paralytic stroke, destroying her
power of speech and confining her to
her bed. Just how severe the stroke
or what the result cannot be deter
mined at this time, but let us trust
she may speedily recover her normal
condition.

The Rexall Moves
Into New Home
The Rexall drug store has been
moving into their new and commo
dious quaters in the Waite block the
past few days and as we go to press
can be said to be fairly at home.
Their formal opening day will be this
week Saturday, as announced else
where in this paper. For a fact,
Messrs. Vaughn & Ilinman are the
possessors of one of the most elegant
and nicely appointed stores to be
found anywhere in the state. Not
even in Omaha or Lincoln may be
found a drug store with finer fixtures
than have been installed by The Rexall
Drug Co. The fixtures, which were
made to special order, were designed
by Mr. Vaughn, and to describe them
in detail would occupy too much;
space. The show cases are made en
tirely of place glass witli marble bases,
and the entire furniture of The Rex
all is of plate glass and quarter
sawed oak with marble bases, making
at once most elegant, expensive
and beautiful quarters for the firm.
This, together with the store’s posi
tion in a large new building situated
on the best business corner of the
\;ity, with full plate glass front and
also plate glass windows on the north
east corner of the main room, make
it at once a pride to The Rexall and
to our people fnd city as a whole.
DEATH S HARVEST

Word was received here Sunday of
this week, announcing the sad news
of tiie death of Mrs. Adella H. Gordon

short time before she died, her sister
in-law and near neighbor who had
been with her for a number of days,
returned home, being assured by Mrs.
Chamberlain that she was feeling
especially well and comfortable, but
before the lady had reached home she
was hurriedly recalled to the bedside,
but the young mother had passed
away before her arrival. Deceased
was united in marriage at the home
of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah
Shetler, in this city only the 5th of

died a short time after. She attended
school at Parkville college, Parkville,
Mo., from which she graduated in
1900. She was baptised by Rev. C. P.
Manckof Waldo, Kan., pastor of t.ie
Church of the Brethren, which church

four years ago and taught school until
the time of her marriage to Mr.
Chester Chamberlain. May 5, 1912.
She leaves besides her husband and
infant baby, a father and sister.
The funeral was held at Beulah
Chapel, 3 miles north of Litchfield,
conducted by Dr. Leeper, Methodist
minister at Loup City, who also mar
ried the bride and groom May 5,1912,
as stated above. The deceased was a
remarkable lady of great worth as was

about noon, occurred the death of Mr.
C. S. Cash, at his home some 6 miles

dear ones around his bedside the day
prior to his death, relapsing soon into
sleep and passing quietly away. De
ceased moved herefrom Boone county
a few short years since and leaves a
wife and family, some arriviog to
manhood's years. The sympathy of
our entire community goes out to the
afflicted ones. He was aged about 56
years.
