KED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 138, UH!.
Bullet Ends the Life of
Former Red Cloud Man
Considerable tnytery surrounds the
denth of Lee Copleu. n fanner resident
of this city, which occurred netir Liu
coin lust Friday uiuht. Todate no duo
to the identity of the man who tlrod
tho fatal shot Iihs been secured. Ac
cordiutf to the story given orit Coplen,
a farm hntid employed by H FI Leav
IU, residing near Bethany, accomp-ui-ied
by three companions were driving
n car on the road east of Wyuka cenir
tery when they saw it car standing be
side the road ThU car whs occupied
by it man and woman Coplen and his
companions stopped their car und ask
ed tlit occupants of the other car what
they were doing and receiving n reply
that they could not understand Coplen
got out of the car At this time the
mai. in the roadster fired upon Uopleu,
started ills car and iicaded south The
injured umu was then tnken to n doc-tor'-
otllco at Hethanv where exatnlna
ion was made and a operation pcrfoiin
ed upc n Coplen. which disclosed the
fact that the bullet had ranged down
ward teaiing a hole in his stomach.
His three companions were question,
ed by the authoiitins but they could
no' give the number of the car or any
description of it occupants. They
also admitted that they ha 1 made a
practice of playing this kind of a joke.
It ts hoped by the, hiucoln author
ities thatMic parly who did the shoot
ing u,jH,come forward and make a
statement as in , all probability he
thought that lie was being held up by
Coplen nnd his companions.
Tho deceased was a son of H. W.
Coplen of Colorado Splint's and the te
nianis were shipped to that city for in
teiment Local Stockmen will Exhibit
Shorthorns at State Fair
Webstei county will again be well
represented in the livo stock exhibits
at the State Fair tills year, as several
of the local stockmen have entered
their stock, and without a doubt will
be successful in securing the ribbons
und the honors
Five head have been selected from
the mammoth herd of thoroughbred
Shorthorns of the J. M Ste ward &, Sou's
rancli and shipment made today. The
lot consisted of two senior bull calves,
one junior yearling heifer calf, one
seuior heifer calf and one junior heifer
calf. If fair judges and quality stock
predominate it is a .foregone conclus
ion that the Stewards will receive their
share of the glory. It will be remem
bered by those who are Interested in
live stock that they have "secured the
honors, against heavy odds, at live
stock exhibits at Denver and other
cities.
Clarence Johnston, another one of
our stockmen who specializes on high
grade thoroughbred stock and who
has lately been attracting considerable
attention in tho livo stock circles will
exhibit one thoroughbred Shorthorn
at Lincoln this year, a junior bull calf.
Noiton Steward, son ol Chas. Stew
ard, accompanied the shipment to Lin
coln and will have charge of tho cattle
at the fair.

"The Cabinet Sold My Wife
The Music Then Sold Me"
A NEW EDISON OWNER WAS SPEAKING
"You see, Alice is a furniture 'fan', is interested in in
terior decoration knows all the periods and tlie careers
of the famous designers.
"What a beautiful Sheraton piece, she exclaimed, as we
passed the store window. Note the rich tints of the ma
hogany; the perfeci proportions.
"Wc entered.
"She raved about the classic purity of the period models.
Then we listened to the instrument. That got me.
"I don't doubt the salesman's claim about the tone test that no ono
can tell thn artist from the instrument when they're pitted against
each other. He said It cost J 1,000,0011 to perfeqt;tbe New Edlton Any
how thats the story of how se happened to buy? And I'm certainly a
booster."
