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

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.

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,

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.

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

last week the victim of an attemp

The girls story created a sensation
and it was feared for some time

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

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.

AN HONEST MAN
LOUP HAS HIM
James Bartunek Finds Pocket Book
Containing Over $900.00.
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.

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
