AN EXPENSIVE JOY RIDE.
Sunday morning when Mike Mendyk |
and family left the Catholic church
and prepared to go home in their
i apto they found the machine was
] gone, and as no one showed up with
it within a reasonable time it was tak |
tn for granted that the machine had
been stolen and all the neighboring
towns were advised to be on the look
out for it. by Sheriff Williams. Nothing
was heard from the machine until
about five o'clock that evening when
Wallace Dymek drove into town with
it. Young Dymek was immediately
taken into custody by Sheriff Williams
and told the sheriff that he had been
’ to Grand Island and back having made
tht trip to see about a motorcycle that
the trip to see about a motorcycle that
ing the car to make the trip.
Young Dymek was locked in jail
and the next morning County Attorney:
Stephens made out a complaint against
him. charging him with unlawfully
taking the automobile, to which charge
he pleaded guilty before County Judge
Smith and was fined $100 and costs,
amounting in all to $110.35. paying
part of the fine, and will probably have
to lay out the balance of it. $100.00
and costs is the minimum fine for
unlawfully taking an automobile as the
law is very plain on that point, as fol
lows :
, Section 1. Unlawful Taking Auto
mobile.—Penalty. — Whoever wrong
fully takes any automobile or motor
, cycle from a garage or any other place
where the same may have been law
fully placed, without the consent of
. the owner, with intent to wrongfully

, taken, shall be fined in any sum not
less than one hundred dollars nor mor
than three hundred dollars and be im
I prisoned in the county Jail uot less than
three months, nor more than six mon

injured in double the amount of dam

STATE SCHOOL APPORTIONMENT.
The State of Xehraska makes an ap (
portionment of school money to every
county twice a year.
The June apportionment gives Sher
man county $3,723.70. divided among
74 districts. It may be said to the
shame of two district directors that
they sent in no reports and therefore
their districts did not share in the ap
portionment. Following are the dis
tricts and amount of state money re
ceived by each.

SOLDIER BOYS ARE GONE.
M< nday of this week is a day that
will he remembered for a long time by
many of the residents of Loup City and
Sherman county, the day when a num
ber uf our soldier boys answered the
call and went to Gratfd Island to join
tlu ir ompany.
The boys left at or.e p. m. and prob
ably a thousand people were at the
depot to bid them goodbye. The band
played several stirring selections and
veterans of the civil war were present
with Old Glory. There was not a dry
eye in the crowd and after all the
goodbye- had been said and the train
had pulled out the people silently
departed for their homes and business
houses. Thus had the real meaning of
the war been brought to our attention
more for. ibiy than ever before in the
denartur of our young manhood to
defend the liberty- which we now en
joy.
Those going at his time were Joseph
C. Prichard. Irvin Rowe, Harold Han
cock. Charles May. Dwight Willis. Le
Ion Lofhoim. Clifford Cox. Charles
Gerkin of Ord to join Company- 1 and
Ralph Bennett of Arcadia. Janies Gil
bert left on the early morning train
for Lincoln to join the Fifth Regiment
ai Baud a number being at the depot
to bid him goodbye.
The hoys will be in camp for a week
or ten days and then go to Fort Crook
near Omaha where they will rtceive
their equipment and supplies and then
will he taken to Deming. New Mexico
for training. Daily papers, however
report that most of the hoys will be
taken to France and receive training
here immediately after being sworn
into the Federal service on August 5
LOUP CITY MAN HONORED.
Dr. O. E. Longacre has received a
commission in the Medical Reserve
Corps and will probably be called to
active duty in the near future. The
doctor will have the rank and receive
the pay of First Lieutenant. This is
a splendid appointment and is in re
cognition of service performed in the
Philippines during the Spanish-Amer
ican war in that department and also
his ability as a physician and sur
geon. Dr. Longacre will prove a val
uable man in the service, as his ser
vice in the Philippines was an ex
perience that will come in handy, to
gether with his experience as a gen
eral practioner. and the government
has been quick to recognize the value
of his services, his appointment beit;-'
the result. T»r. Longacre is intensely
patriotic and is glad to serve our coun
try in the service assigned him.

A LETTER FROM “PUG.”
Fort Riley. Kan. July 15. 1917.
Dear Folks: —
The wind is blowing hard here this
afternoon, it is soon going to rain and
I hope it does.
I see by the papers there is some
chance of peace being made. Well I
sure would feel grateful to the kaiser
if he would make peace, but at the
same time I would like to go to France
now. If the kaiser knew how well we
were preparing he would think a little
We have most all day Saturday off.
all we have to do is stand in line and
have our appearances and equipment
inspected. Each one ’of us is examined
naked to see that we are not sick or
have any disease. It only takes a cou
ple of hours in the morning.
Yesterday afternoon Ginkens and I
went to Manhatten on the street car.
We went out to the Kansas Agie
school and to the E N house there
They have a swell house there, nicer
than we have in Nebraska and it is
open all of the time so the E N's here
at tiie fort can come down and stay
whenever they are there and make it
their home. They have a nice old lady
who is sort of a mother to the boys
there. She is paid to keep the house,
in order or rather to boss the job.'
There is over 60 of tiie hoys here from
every school in the C. s and we cer
tainly have a line time, it seemed \
like being back in school and its only,
a few miles over there. I went to,

yourself. We had roast pork, mashed
potatoes, gravy, lettuce, good beets,
pickled, puddfng with chocolate pour

now that we are in a company.
After dinner we went down to out
V. 51. C. A., we call it. It is a place
we have fixed under our bunk house
which is about four feet off of the

up under it. put writing tables, mag
azines and electric lights and benches
in it. and it is always cool there. Then
our quartette sang for us and we had
a few speeches. It is more like a va

GOVERNOR UPHOLDS “UNWRIT
TEN LAW.”
Relieves Slayer of Wife and Man of
Sentence.
“The Unwritten Law" has been giv
en formal approval by Gov. Hender
son of this state. John Pogue of Tall
apoosa County, who shot and killed a
friend, whom he caught in a compro
mising situation with his wife, and al
so the wife was relieved of a prison
sentence of six and a half years and
that without pretense of apology for
the clemency.
"While there may be technical
guilt under the law of those who seek
in time of emergency to protect and
uphold the sanctity of their home.",
the governor declared in his state
ment, "It is not to the interest of so
ciety in general, that one should be
punished as this defendant would b°
under the sentence imposed upon him.
Under the preservation of the home
depends the future strength of our
manhood and the reverence due to
beautiful womanhood." — From the
Montgomery (Alabama I Times.
Upon an incident similar to the
Pogue case, is based the sensational
film drama entitled "The Unwritten,
Law’,” which consists of seven sen
sational reels, and features the noted
Prima Dona. Beatriz Michelena.
This remarkable production—deriv
ing its name from the law, courage
ously sustained by Governor Hender
son of Alabama, will be presented at
the opera house. July 21. Admission is
placed at 25 cents for any seat.
It is not a picture for children, but
young men and women before marry
ing, may well absorb the powerful
lesson it conveys.

HE WROTE “THE HILLMAN.”
One of the most popular fiction
writers in the literary world is E.
Phillips Oppenheim. author of the
Northwestern’s new serial story "The
Hillman.” "He is a past master of the
art of telling a story. He has humor,
keen sense of the dramatic, and a
knack of turning out a happy ending
just when the complications of the plot
threatens worst disasters" This was a
comment made by the literary editor
of the New York Times in specking
about Mr. Oppenheim.
He is fifty years old and a native
of England. Since his eighteenth birth
day E. Phillips Oppenheim has been
an author of fiction, having turned
out something like forty-five novels,
several plays and a number of moving
picture stories during his career
Mr. Oppenheim was married in Bos
ton twenty-five years age* and his
bride was an American girl. He and
his wife visit this country every year,
and he has often said he is half Bri
tish and half Yankee. The Oppenheims
now live in a cottage on the east of
England, where virtually all this great
authors tales are written.
PROHIBITING LIQUOR IMPORTA
TION.
An amendment to the food bill,
which, if it becomes a part of the law.
will play a tremendous part in pre
venting the consumption of intoxicat
ing liquor, was presented to the Sen
ate by Hon. Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa and pressed to final adoption
It provides that during the war no
liquor shall be imported into the I'nit
ed States, and the liquor now held in
bond shall not be withdrawn during
the same period. It has been rumored
that the distilleries are working over
time in an effort to fill up the bonded
warehouses in anticipation of a law
prohibiting the manufacture of liquor,
and it is also understood th£t England
is increasing its production, presum
ably with the idea of shipping great
quantities to this country should a
prohibition law- be agreed upon. By
Mr. Cummins’ amendment, however,
the danger from those two source
is eliminated, and real prohibition as
sured if the language is retained in
the bill.
