The school house in the Fred John son district has been robbed of late and all the lace curtains and several library books Rave been stolen; also a large curtain used in entertainments and several boxes of chalk. The worst of all was tearing the Bible almst to pieces. The fancy work on the walls was torn off and thrown on the floor, destroying a large part of it. Who ever it is, if caught will be dealt with severely. It must be'the same party who got the carrier’s blankets, and chickens from many people on the Creek. It has only been a short time since such work has started on Wig gle Creek and the party up to this kind of work had better look out.

First Trust Company boys, Henry Goodwin’s man and Mr. Gehring, put in a new bridge just west of the Wiggle Creek church the past week. This bridge was badly needed and the way it was put in speaks well for those that did the work. The new bridge is about three feet higher and eight feet longer, and is a little south of the old one. The high banks on the west side have been graded down so the snow that drifted into the old cut will be avoided. It was a wonder the old bridge stood at all, as the timbers were badly rotted. This is the bridge Brunner’s big well machine went through and injured one of his men last year. Ray Gardner and little brother were caught in the field with 8 head of horses during the hail storm that visited this section two weeks ago. They only had time to get the teams unhitched from the plows when the storm was upon them in full force. They had to drift with the storm as they could not hold the horses with the hail pounding them, and when the storm was over they had drifted almost a quarter of a mile, holding on to the horses heads. In front of the horses was a dangerous place and to get away from them was more dangerous as the hail was beating down with terrific force. Ray re ceived a lump on the head from the hail, one of the horses had a bad cut on one eye, and all the horses were bruised up considerable. Many a man would have found this a trying place in such a storm. During a light local shower one day last week, John Gallaway and George Plambeck bad a close call from death when the Hawk school house was struck by lightning. The shower came up suddenly and John and George went into the school house to escape the rain, while others who were working on the road at the same time went into the barn. Soon after entering the school house, it was struck by lightning. The two were standing close to the partition where the lightning came down, tearing the partition badly and playing all about them and several things close to them were hit. Both gentlemen were badly stunned for a short time. W. O. Brown’s team, which Plambeck was working on the road at the time were knocked fiat to the ground and could not hear any one speak to them for twelve hours. The queer part of it was, no one has been able to find out where the lightning entered the building. The school house was in sured. Those in the barn were more or less stunned. Lightning has been after Mr. Gallaway for some time, having killed or wounded several head of stock for him the past two years. C. O. Wagner helped Simeon Iossi fix a cement roof cn his cave this week. Horace Casteel has been hauling sand the past week. Mr, and Mrs. W. H. Gunn and daughter Ella, Mrs. Gunn’s brother Arthur Nichols and Phillip McCarthy ■ from Kansas City Mo., also Mr. Slay from Washington D. C. autoed from Kearney Nebr.. to the home of J. E. Roush last week. Jim Rouh, Henry Kuhl and sons Henry Goodwin and Mr. Gehring donated their work in putting the ! new bridge west of the Wiggle Creek Church and John Petersen road boss with a heart in him like an ox dooat | ed part of hie work also. City Schools to Open September 2 The board met Monday evening of this week and decided to open the coming school year on Tues day, Sept. 2, instead of on Mon day, that being Labor Day. In spite of the fact that the patrons of the city schqpls at the last annual meeting condemned the basement as unfit for use, the the same has been fitted up for the first and fourth grades. The board claims they can find no satisfactory place outside the pub lic school building in which to house the above grades, hence said basement must be occupied by them. The indignation of patrons is crystallizing into a pro test, which may result in a con certed movement to have the base ment condemned by the board of health and its use denied. What ever the outcome many of the patrons of the school will refuse to allow' the health and eyesight of their children to be impaired by attendance at school, if in said basement.
