NUMBER 48 BABY GIRL KILLED ALMOST INSTANTLY Child Was Trying to Climb Upon the Load When She Lost Her Hold and Fell Under The Wheels LIVED DVT k FEW MIBDTES. A very sad accident resulting in the almost instant death of a little 4-year-old daughter of Geo. De Bruler, living near Litchfield, oc cured last week Wednesday. The circumstances are about as fol lows: The father was engaged in hauling fodder at the farm on a hay rack and with a heavy load was near home, when his little daughter, aged some four years and 6 months, ran out to meet him and in attempting to climb up on the load lost her footing and fell RETURNS FROM EASTERN VISIT Mr. and Mrs. Fulliton Spend Summer in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois. VERY PLEASANT TIME Editor Burleigh, Dear Friend: As I have once more arrived at home, will write you a few items about what I saw and the good visit myself and Mrs. Fulliton had while on our pro tracted risit in the East. While away we both had the best of health and did not find one of our relatives or friends sick, so of course we could not but enjoy our visit to the utmost. We both gained in avoirdupois and are in much better health than previous ly by reason of our three months vacation. We found the crops extra good in most places we visited, especial ly in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Iowa, but the southern part of all these states was badly in jured by drouth, the same as here. The dear old homes looked nat ural. There were some improve ments, but many of the old buildings were just the same and looked just as they did when a little boy. My father’s old place was just the same, except for a large new house, the barn being still there. How well do I re member when I used to play in the old haymow. There are a great many of the old apple trees and a long row of hard maples still stand in front of the house. Some of the latter are now three feet in diameter und are 100 feet | in height. The old apple and pear trees are nearly two feet in dia meter and are still bearing. My father planted all of these about seventy-five years ago, when he and mother were first married. All of that country was heavily timbered then and there are still many of the old rail fences left, and as I looked over the old places it seemed I could almost see the dear old faces and hear the voices of the dear ones gone long since to the better land. The towns which were very small then are large cities and manufacturing places now. Among the places of most interest was the great dam at Keokuk, Iowa. It is immense and one of the fin* est sights I ever witnessed. The dam is forty feet in height from the surface of the water, the depth of which is forty feet There are 119 piers and when all the turbine wheels are in operation they will have three hundred million horse power. At the present ten are in operation, have place for sixteen more and can place turbines be tween every one of the 119 piers. ♦ It does not seem possible such strides in inventions could be made within the the past few years. I have seenmuch beautiful conn ’ V’j' V1' -V" '• ■T»:- •/' beneath the wheels, crushing the little body so fearfully that she died a very short time after the accident. The father had not not iced the baby being near and was totally unaware of the danger and subsequent fatal accident till it was over. S. F. REYNOLDS LEASES MARKET On Tuesday of this week S. F. Reynolds, our popular butcher, closed a lease on his meat market to Lee Bros, and went out of busi ness. The latter will move from their present location into the Reynolds building the 20th of the present month and give up their present quarters. Mr. Reynolds has been in the butcher business for over a quarter of a century in Loup City, a1! least for a greater portion of that time, going out of business for short times in the past to take much needed rest, and is one of the best men in his business ever in Loup City. He will take life easy again for a season. TEACHERS GIVEN A RECEPTION Arranged by the Variens Churches of this City, for the Teachers of this and Surrounding communities HELD AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Last Friday night, at the Pres byterian church, a reception ar ranged by the various churches was held for the teachers of our public schools. Short adresses of welcome were given by the fol lowing ministers: Slocum, Jueling Turtellot, and Sutherland. M.E. Taylor spoke as representative of the school. John Long made an Ideal toastmaster, Supterintendent J. H. Bur well responded for the teachers. Excellent music was furnished by the Misses Odendahl, Johnson and Gallaway and Mrs. Starr, Prof Warlock, Master Howard Starr and Mr. and Mrs. Schwaner. After the program, light refreshments were served and an enjoyable hour spent in getting acquainted. BREAKSBONE IN RIGHT ANKLE Last Sunday, while Fred Zwink of Elm township was engaged in a game of ball of Clear Creek, and making a run for first base, he in some manner broke a small bone in his right ankle. He was at tended by his physician, and out side of a badly swollen member and being placed hors du combat for some time will get along all right. ~ ~lr-. -..i Held For Burglary of Cars at Ravenna Two young men giving their names as Rogers and Kerr, were given a hearing Tuesday morning in Judge J. E. Morrison’s court, at Kearney, on charges preferred by special Agent Ellis of the Bur lington. It is alleged that the boys broke into some c .rs at Ra venna and stole clothing and other merchandise. The boys wanted to plead guilty to petty larceny on the grounds that the car was open when they entered, but Ellis was not satisfied and to give him time to get futher evidence against them the case was continued until Mon day. try and happy homes while absent and the dear friends think their part of the country the best, and it surely is good and I like to go back and visit old scenes and friends, but I have found no place that suits me so well as good old Nebraska. They can raise just as good wheat back in Ohio, but we can raise four bushels of com easier than they can raise one, and the time is coming when they will depend on the west for all their feed and bread. A great part of their land is in vegetables to sup ply the eastern markets and most of the farmers are engaged in dairying and raising produce. The only regret regarding our visit was that it was too limited to see all but hope in the near future to go again and see the rest. Willis Fulliton, Austin, Nebr. Oct. 6, 1913.

HANSEN FAMILY TO CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hansen left Tuesday morning for their home in Los Angles, stopping off at Grand Island for a few days to visit Mr. Hansen’s sister. They were to be joined at the Island by Mrs. Louise Solms and Mrs. S. Baird and little daughter, who will go on to Los Angles with them for the winter. We under stand it is probable that Mr. Baird will go later and that he and fam ily will make their future home in that sonny southern climate. Mr. and Mrs. a. L. Zimmerman left Tuesday for their winter’s so journ in Virginia. Their daughter, Mrs. Beth Owen, and little daughter, left for their home in Washington on the mme train. __ KICKS ON MEAGER ACCOMODATIONS Hazard Man Says Court House was so Crowded Could not Get in to Pay Taxes. IS HEAVY TAXPAYER Our good friend, Carl de la Motte was in from Hazard last Saturday and complains that our dinky little shell of a court house was so crowded that he could not get in to pay his taxes. Carl is one of onr heavy tax payers and thinks it a shame to the county to have such a disgrace situated at the county seat. And Carl is only one of a hundred of our prosperous farmers and land owners who feel the same way. Carl challenges any one to give good and substantial reasons why we go on from year to year trans acting the county’s business in a building which would be too inferior to use as a pigsty on the hundreds of prosperous farms of the county. BIG BUSINESS CHANGE IN LOUP C. C. Cooper Buys A. E. Chase Stock of Merchandise. IS UP-TO-DATE AND A HUSTLER Through the rush of other mat ters last week we neglected men tion of the purchase of the A E. Chase stock of merchandise by C. C. Cooper. Mr. Cooper is too well and favorably known to the buy ing public of this city and vici nity to need extended comment on our part. Mr. Cooper was for a number of years in the mercantile business in Loup City and had a very flattering patronage and did a layge mercantile business. For the past few years he has been on the road for the Loup City Mill and Light Co. selling flour and has worked up a large trade for that most excellent home product. He will still for a time be on the the road selling flour, while his estimable wife will have charge of the business in his absence, but later expects to give his entire time to the affairs of his store. May success attend the new enterprise. NEW METHODIST PASTOR ARRIVES Rev. Slocum and Family Arrive, and are CordiaUy Welcomed by Loup City People in General. MAKES GOOD IMPRESSIOH. Rev. Slocum, the new pastor of the Methodist society, arrived with his family and household goods last week and Sunday gave his initial sermons in the pulpit of that church. The people of the church and a number of other attendants at that place of wor ship who listened to his able dis courses on that day are very free with their expressions of pleasure, and nothing but the kindliest of words are given over his sermons and ap pearance and belief that he would prove a most valueable addition to the ministerial forces of our city. Rev. Slocum is a married man, with a wife and three interesting sons. Our people will extend to them a cord ial welcome. GOVERNMENT LAND OPENING 300,000 Acres of Forest Reserve Land to be Thrown Open to Settlement Registration October 13, at Broken Bow, North Platte or Valentine.

Registration will be made at Broken Bow, Valentine, and North Platte, Oct. 13th. On October 28th the drawing will be held at North Platte. On Nov. 17th the A Veritable Moving Mania Strikes Loup The past week has proved a ver itable moving mania in the city. We are safe in saying that our streets have been fairly blockaded of late by moving vans. Among the moving pictures we might mention that of Rev. Dr. Leeper out and Rev. Slocum into the M. E. parsonage. Then E. E. Mc Fadden and Will Doner moved in to their new residences. E. A. Miner moved from one of the Charlton cottages into the Law rence Smith house vacated by Tom Lay, who moved into one of the Charlton houses. Henry Dolling moved into the Ohlsen bungalo, vacated by Dr. Allen, who moved into his residence recently pur chased from George Leininger and occupied by John Needham, the latter moving into the Chris Dom gard property adjoining the M. E. parsonage, vacated by A. O. Lee, who moved to Broken Bow. Elba Smalley moved into the Wesley Pedler cottage vacated by McFadden, while Henry Bred thauer moved into the T. M. Reed house vacated by Doner. Dr. Longacre has fitted up rooms in the second story south rooms of State Bank for temporary living Clothing Torn From Young Girl by Escort Ruth Young, of Kearney was last week the victim of an attemp ed assault during which all of her clothing was tom from her. It is alleged the assault was committed while returning home from a party in company with a young man. The girls story created a sensation and it was feared for some time that the citizens of the community DR. BLANCHARN TO LOS ANGELES Tuesday morning of this week Dr. J. F. Blanchard and wife left this morning for Los Angeles to take a six months course at the medical university and graduate in medibine and surgery. He will also take a post graduate course in Osteopathy. After he finishes he may again return to Loup City again to practice. He had hoped to secure an Osteopath to take up his practice here before he left, but as he had to be in Los Angeles the first of next week was com pslled to depart before he succeed ed in doing so. Rev. Slocum of the M. E. church was called to Wiener yesterday morn ing to preach the funeral discourse of a little daughter of a former par ishioner, the little one being a victim of appendicitis. He returns Friday evening. would adopt drastic means in deal ing with the man in the case. On a complaint sworn to by Chas. Young, foster father of the girl. Chas. A. Davis was arrest ed. Davis pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $10 and costs. WRESTLER HAS COLD FEET Some time since. Marc Bly of Scotia was laid on his shoulders in in two straight falls by our S. P. Mogensen. Later, Bly chal lenged Mogensen for a return wrestle for $100. Mogensen ac cepted the challenge and named Loup City as the place, but Bly seemingly has acquired cold feet and does not come across with the necessary forfeit to be deposited in on of our local banks. -— Burr Bobbins and wife drove over to Greeley last Sunday to visit a few hours with their brother, Frank, and family, returning home that evening. Their parents Mr. and Mrs. Bobbins, accompanied them and were to remain and visit for a short time. The health of the elder Bobbins is very poorly from his attack of stomach trouble, but it is hoped he will soon improve. J. W. Conger and W. T. Gibson leave as delegates next Tuesday for the Grand Lodge L 0. O. F. at Lin coln. Mrs. J. W. Conger goes as a delegate to the Behekah Grand Chap rooms. F. A.

YIELDS IT TO OWNER Last Thursday evening, James Bartunek, our popular harness man returned from a two weeks’ absence in Omaha and other places. And thereby hangs a tale. Some two weeks since, while going on the motor between here and St. Paul, Jim picked up a pocketbook on the floor of the car, which up on examination of contents was found to contain something over $900 in cool cash, drafts and checks. He at once notified Con ductor Amick, who made inquiry as to the possible owner. Among the passengers was one A. G. Brandt, an opulent cigar manu facturer, (all cigar men are opu lent with a big O), who found himself minus the lost rhino. He made claim to the fortune, which he had acquired from his wealthy country patrons, and upon describ ing the contents Was found to be the de facto owner, the only dis crepancy being found in that the wallet contained some 30 cents in excess of claim, which was ac counted for by our .Teemes with the explanation that “the 30 cents must have been interest ac cumulated on the money while in his possession.” Later, when Friend Bartunek returned home, he found a letter from Mr. Brandt expressing his sincere thanks, ac companied by a box of the finest and most expensive smokers man ufactured by his company, of which latter phrase we can em phatically affirm, as we have sam pled them. When Mr. Bartunek arrived in Omaha he was besieged | by newspaper reporters and pho i tographers and urged to pose for “Movies” as one of God’s choic est^ if most rare specimens of His handiwork. And by the way Jim seems to have acquired the same reputation along harnessmak ing lines, as about the same time he received an order from Joe Contor way out at Idaho Falls, Idaho, enclosing the price of a set of his best harness, to be shipped at earliest convenience. If we were not the most honest printer in ex sistence we would envy our friend Jim his reputation along that line. WRESTLING EXHIBI TIONS THIS WEEK S. P. Mogensen and Warren Miller are billed for wrestling ex hibitions this coming week as as follows: At Cario October 15th, Dannebrog 16th, Rockville 17th. To our friends interested in that sport in those towns, we can as sure them they will get more than their monet’s worth by attending, as the boys are both up to stuff and the work will be exciting and realistic. They offer $5 to any local man who will stay with them for ten minutes. Will Make Home in State of Washington Herbert Nightingale, who has for some months been out on the Pacific Coast, has concluded to remain in that country. He has accepted a position in one of the leading law firms at Bellingham, Washington, a city of some 30,000 inhabitants, and one of the leading business marts of northern Washington, on the sound, and writes that things look too good | to him out there to return, and will remain. R. J. Nightingale, who was out in that country this summer, speaks very highly of the city where Herbert has set his stakes and tells of half million dollar factories and in terests that makes one’s mouth water to hear about. We congratulate Her bert on his change of .location, and knowing the bright capabilities and talents of the young man see for him in the future great prospects. i We are indebted to J. F. Bock who recently returned from Pacific Junc tion, Iowa, where he has land inter ests, for fine samples of apples and pears from his home place there. They tasted moreish to the superla tive degree.
