It was the old story of tough men, tough women and too much booze. The murderer was a young tough, who. with his tough yife. made a business of following around these disreputable affairs while the murdered man was a Wilbur farmer loaded to a fare ye well with fighting whisky and a bad disposition.

P. motor Wednesday morning just as it had reached the section house a few yards from the depot. An engine was wired for from Grand Island which came up and took the “potato bug” and unfortunate passengers on to St. Paul and brought back the noon mail almost on time. Through a rush of other matters, we neglected mention last week of the visit of the Burrowes-Leon show the previous Saturday night. For a fact it was not necessary to say any thing to add to the splendid reputa tion this show has among our people. The entertainment in question was, if anything, a little bit better than former plays. And that is going some. Boyd’s appearance on the stage here and elsewhere is always the signal for rounds of applause and that evening the big audience was no exception to the rule and not only Boyd but each member of his compa ny was most heartily welcomed at every point and the thread of the story was closely followed throughout. Boyd always gets crowded tents and houses whenever he plays here and he is certainly worthy of it. Death of Grandma Rettea Bayer Last Monday morning, August 4, 1913 at the home of her son, Adolph Bettenmayer, a few miles south of Loup City, occurred the death of Grandma Bettenmayer,agfcd 83 years. The funeral took place from the home Tuesday afternoon following and in terment was bad in Evergreen ceme tery, Bev. J. C. Tourtellot officiating. We have been handed the following short sketch of deceased: “Sophia Vogleman was born August 13,1830, at Humelsweite, Germany, and was married to Joseph Bettenmayer at Bosenberg, Germany, January 1, 1848, Came to the United States in 1853 and located at Toledo, Ohio, where they resided for several years. They came to Sherman county in 1879, where she resided until her death. She is survived by five sons and two daughters.” The Northwestern is requested by the bereaved sons and daughters to express their heartfelt thanks for the kindness, assistance and sympathy expressed by the friends and neighbors in the sickness and death of their loved mother. ;■ - ” v," , - •*.'

Phone Black 127 South Side Public Square Wm. Dolling. A. E. Chase’s Store In Hands of Creditors. Last week, Wednesday evening, at a meeting of the creditors of A. E. Chase the latter turned over his mer cantile establishment to them and stepped down and out. The credit ors then placed the stock in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Vaughn for the purpose of invoicing the same and finding the amount of stock on hand. Mr. D. D. Grow was also employed by the creditors to assist in invoicing. Wnile much sympathy is expressed over the unfortunate failure of Mr. Chase, who has been in business here for a score or more of years, yet it is not a matter of surprise to the peo ple who have known for a long time the embarassing condition of Mr. Chase, financially, and that it was only a question of time when he would be obliged to suspend his busi ness operations. It is understood that the indebted ness amounts to between $13,000 and $14,000, while the invoice of the stock, which lias teen completed, shows be tween $5,000 and $0,000 worth of mer chandise on hand. We are not, at the present writing, in possession of any facts save as above nor will it be known for a few days, the exact status of affairs so far as the general public is concerned. It is to be hoped, however, that the fi nancial clouds hanging over Mr. Chase may not prove so dense as at present seems and that the creditors may realize much more than at present seems probable. Later—By mutual agreement be tween Mr. Chase and the principal creditors, J. C. Vaughn will have charge for the present and the store to remain open for regular business. Kicked by Horse. A Narrow Escape Amos Macek, a farmer residing a sfew miles northwest of Ravenna, was kicked by a horse, Wednesday morn ing, of this week, and how be escaped more serious injury is one of those problems that cannot be answered, unless it be that a man is predestined to live a certain span and his time had not come yet. He was working in his barn when one of his horses let drive with its heels, striking Mr. Macek just above the waist line with sufficient force to crush his watch in his vest pocket. As it was Mr. Macek had the breath knocked out of him, and was badly bruised about tbe point of contact, but Dr. Buol, who was called to attend him, does not think his inj uries will prove to be serious. There was no rupture, internallv or externally, and there appears to be no reason why his recovery should not be speedy and complete.—News.

Picture Show Changes Hands The past week has made a change in the ownership of the Gem picture show at the Daddow opera house tak ing effect last Saturday evening, A. O. Lee disposing of his half interest in the same toThos. Daddow. who owned the other half, taking in exchange a residence property in west Loup City south of the residence property built by C. C. Cooper. Mr. Lee still retains, his ownership of the Crystal Bottling Works, butwe understand he is on a trade of the same to Chris Domgard, who, if he purchases the plant, will also purchase the residence of the former adjoining the M. E. parson age. In event of the sale of the bot tling works to Mr. Domgard, Mr. Lee will purchase the bottling works and apicture show at Broken Bow and move to the latter town. Grandma Gilbert In Failing Health Grandma Gilbert, on July 29th, reached the 76th mile post on her eventful journey through life. There has not, perhaps, been a woman of her advanced years who has had the constitution to pass through what she has in the pioneer days of Nebras ka. We have heard the good old lady speak of the years gone by, and of the work and privations attending, which seem almost impossible. It would seem imoossible to hear of the strenu ous time she lias gone through, but probably not one woman in a thou sand has had the strength and endur ance she possessed. Many a time in the early days she has done more than a man's work in all kinds of hzfrd labor, and at times has walked miles to market returning home late at night with a sack of flour on her shoulder to supply the wants of her family. Even as late as a year ago out on the farm she carried several sacks of flour up a flight of stairs at her home as easily as a young person would have done the same. In fact up to a very few months ago she showed wonderful strength and en durance along all lines of labor. At present, however, she is in very poor health and is failing fast and it is feared that unless she recuperates her health very early she will be un able to do anything but the lightest of labor. The Northwestern, with her very large circle of friends, will hope that she may live to round out the 80th year in her very eventful Ufe. ————— Thrown From Horse and Shoul der Dislocated One day last week Frank Kowal ewski, of Elm township, while riding a half-broken, fractious horse, was thrown from the same striking heavi fy on his head and shoulders in a ditch, dislocating one shoulder and badly bruising and disfiguring his face and breast. Falling as he did so heavily and into a ditch the wonder expressed was that he was not killed outright from a dislocated neck. However, it is thought that he will come out all right. K. of P. Picnic A Grand Success A Good Attendance and a Good « Time Had by All The Knights of Pythias picnic at Jenner’s park last Thursday after noon and evening was one of the very best ever given by the cyder here in the past. The afternoon for the first part was given over to a game of base ball, the boys choosing sides and, under the suggestive names of the “Weaks” and “Wearys,” by their playing made the fans "weak” and •‘weary to a fare-ye-well. Umpire Mulick proved well versed in giving decisions to make the score come out even in the fifth inning, thus making honors even. The fans in the grand stand played much harder than the real thing on the diamond and as the score chalked up even all bets were declared off. At the close of the great contest all repaired to the other park, except those already there, and the after noon was put in at exciting contests along amusement lines, every man, woman, girl and boy, young and old, \ strong and week fat and lean were called upon to get Into the games, whatever they were, and there was ready response from each, hence the afternoon proved a strenuous exist ence for all. When the supper hour was called all wended their way to the big pa villlon where lines of tables extended the futt length of the hall and loaded with good things claimed full atten of the boys and girls of all ages who did ample justice to the feast. After supper games and amuse ments were again taken up and kept going until a late hour in the evening when the Sir Knights, their families and invited guests repaired to their several homes, insisting this to be one of the crowning glories of all the picnics heretofore given by the local lodge. /•
