Van Osdole, son of a wealthy farmer living seven miles south west of North Loup, was arrested by Sheriff Sutton this afternoon and charged with attempting to cash checks aggregating $£90.50. I He was arrested at his home where he confessed to his parents and the officers. He had made a horse ! trade and became involved in debt in the transaction. He said that : he had written the checks to pay J the obligation and to avoid telling his parents of the trade. He is being held here and a preliminary i bearing will be held in a few days. . Sheriff Sutton received a mes |Sage from Attorney Bell at St. j Paul, that two checks made pay j able to "T. R. Norman,’’ had ! been presented to the bank of o fScotia for payment. The checks were purported to be signed by ; Ralph Smith, who is a horse buy er of St. Paul. The bank did not i believe that the checks were genu j ine and refused payment uixm i them. The young man who had i attempted to cash them then sent ; them to St. Paul bank. They were | held there but the man could not be located. i Sheriff Sutton obtained a de scription from the bankers at j Scotia and traced Van Osdole. on I suspicion that he might be con nected with the affair. The arrest j followed this afternoon. School District No. 60 noted for Its Matri monial Tendencys School district number 60, which is rapidly becoming known as the marrying-district, having had four or five teachers get married and ! quit during the last year, has been ! causing Superintendent Vogt a lot j of trouble lately. It seems that the fame of this district has spread far and wide and he is getting letters from all the surrounding counties and several from Miss ouri from ladies who want to i teach in that district. Many of ! them send pictures and Ed is get ting quite a collection, and though i most of them are not young they are all ’ andsome, and several of ■ them are willing to teach for al ; most any wages just so they get to teach. One wanted the school but said she didn't have a certifi cate, but asked to have a permit issued to her, saying it would probably not be necessary for her 1 to use it long. She probably j hoped to go the way of the rest, i Fd ask us not to mention the pic tures as he said he didn't want j his wife to know he had them, so ; don't tell her.—St. Paul Republi j can. Henl of Antelope and Elk Hear Sidney A novel sight was witnessed in Sidney where fifty-seven wild an telopes were discovered feeding a .quarter of a mile west of town I They were driven in on account j of the heavy snow in the hills. | Two other large bunches are nine : miles south of there in Colorado. ! It is also reported that a bunch of j elks are grazing in the Sidney draw, eighteen miles southwest of town. They are being watched to see to see that they are not mo lested.—Ex. Scarlet Fever ia Valley Canty | |A couple of families in the southern part of Valley county 1 are quarantined as a result of scar | let fever that has made its appear ! auce in that section. Both cases : are in the country west of North Loup. The disease is of a moderate form and those atfiicted are get ting along as well as could be ex pected. Nearly every winter this disease makes its appearance and the physicans have taken steps to prevent its being spread to other j More Arrests Expected In Kearney Post Office Robbery Affair Walter Sammons and Delbert Smith are now at their homes. Smith being under So,000 and Sammons $T>,000 bond, on the charge of robbing the Kearney postoffice on the night of Decem l>er 25. Both men are staying with their families and do not care to discuss the case. Citizens of Kearney l>elieve that further arrests in connection with the case will be made in the near future. The postoffiee inspectors are saying nothing about the case, maintaining the |>olicy of silence which was inaugurated at the be ginning of investigation. The ar rest of Smith and Sammons came as a complete surprise to the citi zens and speculation as to the identity of others who may be un der suspicions, is rife. The $5,000 package which was 1 taken from the postotlke has not been located. In his preliminary examination at Grand Island Smith said tha* on the morning after the robbery he passed Sammons on the street and that Sammons said, "I took care of it.?* No announce ment in regard to the money has been made by the postal inspectors. WITHOUT AN OPERATION Wonderful Healing of Rupture How n Boelus Han Got Rid of a Ssverv, Pain’ul and Obsti nate Double Rupture, With out the Slightest Trouble. Bel >w is i pi -tu re of Bred .i. .laen !eke. a v\ ! known uhI popular farmer lot Boelus Nell.. R t 1 * 1 It you jeo- Id see him a'-Ills work, partieular larv heavy iirtn work, jumping and {climbing around like a youth—you ! would -careelv imagine that lie had formerly been afflicted with a double j rupture. Ruptured on Both Sides Mr. Jaeneke says: “l was ruptured on my right side 19 years ago. and on ! the left side :> years ago No one ■ knows what I suffered all these years trying to do uiy daily work and keep my ruptures up with poor trusses that were not worth carrying home after I bought them.” Afraid of Operation Like most others, Mr. Jaeneke de dlined to lake the risk of an opera tion, the loss of time away from his work, and the expense and the danger had to be considered too. Moreover, it is a well established tact that many , rupture operations are not successful: ! the tniwel soon breaks through the i sewed up opening and protrudes worse : than ever. Heard of Dr. Rich “Although my triends insisted that an operation was the only tiling for me, 1 detrmined to use my own judge ment and eget cured without an op ration, if possible, so 1 consulted Dr. Rich of Grand Island. Dr. Rich cured my double rupture in a few treat ments. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble, comfort and contentment from the very t>egii:ning. 1 could not ask for better or more painstaking treatment than 1 received ; fro n Dr. Rich. I am glad 1 went toj Dr. Rich and advise others snffering1 with rupture to do the same and stick j as 1 did.” Why Ruptures Are Neglected Tilt principal reason why so many ! people neglect their ruptures is be- i cause they think a knife operation is ; the only w ay to gel cured. They dread ttie idea of tak iig chloroform and l»e ing cm open. Kut since the discovery ! of my method there is no reason why j anyone sliould continue to suffer with rupture when they can be cured eas-' ily, simply and satisfactorily. People With Small Ruptures Remember: You with small rup tures should remember that large rap tures were once small ones. A sudden misstep, slip or fall, ha’d coughing or sneezing, or continued neglect may anv day cause your rupture toenlarge to enormous size or even strangulate and endanger life. Don’t allow your rupture toenlarge and threaten life. Take it in time. Come now and take ! advantage of my New Plan, the fair-! eft rupture offer ever made, and get! cured before spring work opens. Ruptured Children Parents will foolishly allow their children to grow up with one of the ; greatest curses to humanity. Parents! if your child is ruptured, do not con- \ demn him to go through life with i this vitality-sapping ana dangerous! affliction. Have him cured while the j muscuiar tissues are developing and can be easily strengthened.
