Ia.. March 11.—Special) j .Several clerks in the grocery de partment of a local department st.'re were taking chances with tn.-ir live' by cutting bananas in | the >tore yesterday. One of the j tier-.' had cut a dozen bananas from a fresh >talk of the fruit that, just had been hung up. Another clerk went to cut off another doz en. and just as he was knifing! the la>t one a bewra, a snake two f<s't h»«g. stuck tt' head out of the %talk and waved it' fang' and and swayed viciously in the air. The bewra is the most deadly poisonous snake known in the the southern part of North Ameri ca, it was said by a Mexican stud ent in the state college, who was called to identify the reptile, which was put in a glass jar by means of sticks. The student said the snake is deathly poisonous by touching any part of body. The stoie will offer the specimen to the zoological professors of the state college. SAVES FROM DEATH BY BERWYH A6EHT A 'tnuyrf thing happened at Berw.vn one day last week when m farmer drove into town and de~ i P •' ie,l a woman with a little child near the depot then turning his team supposedly started for home again. Soon after he had goi»e the woman was discovered sitting in the middle of the track with the child in her arms, and that too in the face of the approaching train the station agent made the discovery just in time to save her and the child from an untimely death. He ordered her off the but she refused to go. It was necessary to drag her from her perilious position. She was taken to the depot just before the arrival of the incoming train and tha agent was soon busy with his orders. When the train pulled out no trace of the woman and child could be found, and have cot been seen or heard of since. She refused at the time of res cus to give her name or place of residence, and the person who brought her to town cannot be : identified as but little notice was taken of his personal appearance j or the rig be came and went in. He had the appearance of a farm er having simply come to town to see his wife, or perhaps a visiting friend off on the train.—Broken | Bow Republican.

Al EVE-SORE 10 NEW COMERS The following letter received by Jacob Albers from E. J. Delaney of Los Angeles, one of the heavy non-resident taxpayers of Sher man county, speaks right from the shoulder: Los Angeles. Calif., March 13, 1914.—Friend Jacob Albers: At this time, when the question of the new court house is open for debate, to be decided by the vot ers of Sherman county, Xebr., I am for and in favor of the best court bouse possible. I landed in Loup City in May, 1880. The court house then was an eye-sore to newcomers, and has been a dampner on the prosperity of the community at all times since the railroad company swapped it for taxes. 1 do hope the voters ap prove the issue of bonds. Very sincerely, . Edward J. Delaney.

At that hour, the court room i»eing in use by the county board, adjourn ment was taken to the office of R. P. Starr, when the hearing was held, taking up the balance of the momin? hours, resulting in bind ing defendant over to the district court in the sum of shoo. The girl in the ea-e occupied the stand most the time with her story very salacious in detail, for the most part unfit for publication. In it she alleged her ruin occurred in October, 1912, and she had through fear and coercion been under defendant's power ever since. Last Saturday Sheriff Hig ley of Howard county, found the girl at the Kornrumpf home and took her to St. Paul, where to keep herself from going to the reformatory she agreed to become complainant against her alleged betrayer. The defendant is the head of a family of wife and seven children, ranging from 14 years down to 13 months. It is a nasty case at best, and has a history run back two or three years. Johann Frederick Wilhelm Jaeschke of Rockville visited over last Sunday with his friend, Jur' gen Plambeck on route - over last Sunday, returning home Mon day morning.

It was, not, however, till in the afternoon ■ when the little fellow complain ing about his arm and the Prs.

It was advertised to be total and several Loup City young couples in anticipation of that and who could not spoon satisfactorily under bright moonlit skies got busy with dates for the evening, only to find Luna had one on 'em. as she solemnly winked and kept an eye open a fraction to enjoy the discomfeiture of the swains. Luna began to hide her face about 8:30, and pulled a veil'steadily over it until only a fraction was visible. Then the curtain of the eclipse began to be drawn until by 11 o’clock the staff was.ail off. PROTESTS COBRT HORSE ELECTION l~ac Sttrrrisy -ne«? was usd a Has- awetea^ s£ L^arstswi «€ 321?

Forbes, a rancher living near Palmer died at his home early Saturday morning from loss of blood following the amputation of his right arm. Young Forbes accompanied by Frank Peck was hunting on the Loup river last Friday night when he accidental ly discharged a shotgun, the charge striking him in the right shoulder. His companion carried him to his home where a surgeon was called and the arm amputated. The boy's mother who was visiting an other son in Omaha was notified of the accident, but did not arrive in Palmer until four hours after her son’s death. NEWSY ITEMS FROM m CITY SCHOOLS The school has received a rev is- \ ed edition of the statutes of Nebr aska, presented by the Secretary of State, Miss Lena Smith is laid up with to&ailitis this week, her posi tion heing hilled by her sister, M ss lWv«>, The Senior class having finished * bookkeep mg. hate taken up I "Scow 's Ivanhoe" using: the in duotive questions, Gen. Lew Wallace said that Ivanhoe was one of the six important novels j that most influenced his life. One morning- last week during the chapel hour a special program i was rendered. It consisted of Scotch songs, a reading by Miss | Sweetland and a Scotch solo by j Fay Gallaway. The Supreme court decided that' Sunday school may be conducted in a public school house under cer-, tain conditions. The Supreme! court has affirmed this judgement; of the district court of Saline! county in the suit of the State ex rel. John M. Gilbert and John Simmons against the directors of school district No. 13. The sylla bus of the courts opinion is as fol lows, Holding Sunday school or regilious meetings in a country school house so infrequently as not to exceed four times a year and while do not interfere with the school work does not constitute the school house place of worship within the meaning of Section 4, article 1, of the constitution. County Treasurer Henry has been suffering from an aggravated case of la grippe for the past num ber of days. Mrs. Martin Plaoek, living a few miles northeast of Loup City, was taken to Columbus, Neb., last Saturday morning, where she was to undergo an operation for a tumor in the abdomen. She is 52 years old and was in so serious and enfeebled a condition that she had to be taken on a cot. It will he remembered that her husband, Martm Plaoek. was killed about a year or a little over ago. as be was taking home a load of 1 urn tier, falling front the load and break ing his neck. How true is the old saying that misfortunes never come singly. Petitions have been filed for the re-election of Mayor Outhouse and Council men French and Ohl sen, with no opposition candidates. The people are well satisfied with the present city administration, so far as we can learn.

Cording of Litchfield, and her husband is a brother of Herman, James and Chris Johansen * f this city. Later, the following account of her life and death from a Grand Junction paper was received.

She had been at the hospital one week, having been removed from her home, when it was seen the attack was serious.

RATHER EARLY FOR SHARE STORY Marshal James Burnett thi> »'wk furnishes the first snake story of the season, and Jim does not generally "see things'' of that s>*rt. He found a little swn soaks' on the streets of our city last Sunday morning, and to prove the fact to the uni* wing had the delirium tremens .* flair bottled and it can l>e seen at Young's barber shop. Frank Robbins came over from Greeley county last week Friday, and Saturday morning- left for Omaha, accompanied by his fath er, A. M. Robbins. Frank went down to consult a specialist re galing stomach trouble from which he has been suffering for several years with no relief. Be lieving the trouble is caused by cancer of the stomach, from which his grandfather died, and from which his father is ailing at the present time, Frank expeets to undergo an operation while in Omaha. We sincerely trust he will escape the dreaded ordeal, or if not that he may come safely through. Charley Snyder was up from Ravenna last week looking after his farms. He has recently pur chased residence property in Kear ney and will move there from Ra venna in a short time. Friend Snyder is very much interested in the success of the court house pro position, is enthusiastically for it, is a large tax-payer, and is sorry he can not be here and vote ip favor of it. \ -yv-Ji
