THE BALL CAME.
The undefeated base ball team I
of Loup City went to St. Paul
last Sunday where they met the j
undefeated aggregation of the j
holy city, trimming them up nicely ■
and winning the game by the score
of 5 to 1. St. Paul has a good
team and is claimed that the game
Sunday is the first one they have
lost. The Loup City team is still
undefeated, the game Sunday be
ing the only one played this season.
The joke is on St. Paul, having an
aggregation of players who had
never played together before trim
ming them up in that stvie. The
Northwestern has tried several
times to get the local boys to
gether. We believe that Loud
City has plenty of good material
to organize a good ball team, and
though it is getting rather late in
the season there is still plenty of
time for a good many ball games.

TERRIBLE DEED IS
ACT OF INSANE MAN
Hazard Man Goes Suddenly Insane and Kills His Wife, Child
and Himself. No Motive is Known for the Deed.
Family was Prosperous and Happy.
The little village of Hazard was
stirred early Sunday afternoon
when the news spread that Ole
Moltield. Ins wife, and five year
old son had been found dead in
bed. having been killed with a
shot gun some time during the
night before.
Earnest de la M<>tte, a neighbor
noticed that the Moltield stock
were out and that the gates were
down and went over to investi
! gate. He found the three bodies
jin bed. and to all appearances
| they were sleeping. He iinmedi
! ately gave the alarm.
Sheriff Williams, Coroner Main.
I County Attorney Stevens and L.
M. Williams left for the scene in
an auto immediately after receiv
ing word of the crime. The coro
ner impanelled a jury the next
morning, which rendered the fol
lowing verdict. "That Ole Mol
tield came to his death by a gun
shot wound fired by his own hand
while temporary insane, after
shooting his wife Sophia Molfield
and small son Ragnval Molfield.
between the hours of P p. m. and
12 p. in. Julv 3. Signed. John
Blaschke, M. C. Wind. O. J.
Walthers, A. \V. Brewer. C. K.
Norris. Lewis M. Williams, eon>
ner".-> jury."’
According to all the evidence it
appeared that Moltield shot the
boy in the kitchen the first time
and in bed the second time. Mrs.
Molfield was also shot twice, and
Molfield once. He left a poorly
written note, the contents of which
could not be deciphered.
The Molfield family were high
ly respected Norwegian i>eop!e
and were in good circumstances.
He had several head of stock,
about 150 acres in crop and was
well supplied with farm machinery.
He owed very little and his pros
l>ects were bright. Some of his
crops were slightly damaged by
hail a few days ago and he worried
over that considerable. It is also
reported that he suffered a great
deal the past few weeks from *
toothache, and no doubt exists in
the minds of those who knew him
that he was insane at the time he
committed the awful deed.
The house was a terrible sight
and all three bodies were in night
clothes, the family evidently hav
ing prepared to retire when the
murder and suicide was committed.
The funeral was held at Hazard
Tuesday afternoon and interment
made in the cemetery there.
ANOTHER GOOD PICTURE
The i>art of Glory Quayle is
one requiring the greatest ver
satity and the rare i>ower of get
ting heart interest out over the
footlights an<^ to the audience.
Perhaps no more difficult role was
ever written for a movie star and
the producers, naturally, were ex
tremely careful in regard to whom
they gave it to.
The choice fell to Miss Edith
Storey who will be sben in "The
Christian" here July 12. at the
Daddow theatre. Miss Storey was
elected in preference to every
other woman considered for the
reason that the best judges of mo
tion picture acting have set her
down as the woman who has the
most expressive face. Every
thought that is running through
her mind is reflected in her facial
expression in such a manner that
it is as clear as though the
audience had heard the actual
words her lips seemed to utter.
Every gesture has a sjiecial mean
ing. Even the position of her
hand has some special significance.
By combining her powers. Miss
Storey is enabled to give a rendi
tion of the part that will without
doubt, be remembered for years.
This has been a good year for
weeds and the town has a splended
weed crop that needs attention.
We suggest that the town board
order a car of billy goats to take
care of the crop.
