these disreputable affairs while the
murdered man was a Wilbur farmer
loaded to a fare ye well with fighting
whisky and a bad disposition.

There was a break down of the C.
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,

heartfelt thanks for the kindness,
assistance and sympathy expressed
by the friends and neighbors in the
sickness and death of their loved
mother.

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.
