Pioneers Hold
Social Session
Rev. Frank G. Smith Is Prin
cipal Speaker at Meeting of
Douglas County Veterans.
The mere fact that the records of
the association have been lost did not
prevent the Douglas County Pioneers
from having a real sociable afternoon
yesterday in the club rooms at the
courthouse.
Community singing, and that means
that every one of the 150 pioneers
did their respective parts, opened the
entertainment. Miss Mary Coleman
led the songsters and Max McCul
lough did his bit on the piano.
"America owes a debt to its pioneers
which she can never pay fully,” de
clared Rev. Frank G. Smith in a short
talk to the members. "The dreams
which inspired them to seek new
lands have come true. Without the
pioneers, America would not be the
country R is today.”
When it comes to. taking tho part
of a regular fiddler, H. G. Kiddoo
Mualifies. To the accompaniment of
, Mrs. Arthur Bailey, he played tune
after tune, hornpipe, reel, jig and
polka. The audience asked for more.
For good measure, he gave a reading
in Swedish dialect, telling of the vi
cissitudes of a young Swede in love,
and offered a clog dance to "Turkey
in the Straw.”
George A. Wilcox presided in the
absence of A1 Mctzler, who is ill at
Paxton Memorial hospital. Flowers
sent to the club by Commissioner
Joe Hummel will be taken to the pres
ident. After the past secretary, Marv
Cormack, went to Hollywood. Cal., a
few months ago the records of the
club were missed.
A letter from her wsa reaij, telling
of placing the records in a steel
cabinet. Other members assert that
when the cabinet was opened in their
csence the records were missing.

Page County Is Infested
With Chicken Thieves
Shenandoah, la., Nov. 8.—There is
much complaint in Page county of
the activity of chicken thieves. The
sentiment is running strong against
this sort of pilfering, according to
Don T. Griswold, county agent, and
judging by the talk that is current,
if the thieves should be caught,
something is likely to happen to
♦bcm.
The demand for prosecutions of
the thieves is becoming strong. This
is one of the most aggravating forms
of thievery that the county is cursed
with at the present time.

Old Grave Marker
Found by Women
m
Weather Beaten Board in
Black Hills Bears Name of
Prof. John Pommer.
Custer, S. D„ Nov. 8.—An interest
ing relic of pioneer days in the Black
Hills was discovered on the Doran
farm, near Custer, by Mrs. James
Dornn and daughter, Miss Ella; Miss
Sarah Walsh, Mrs. Teresa Oarlock
and Mrs. Minnie Putnam, while they
were gathering pine cones and kin
nikinic. The relic was a graveboard
marker, badly weather beaten, but
with distinct carvings, which read
as follows;
Prof. John Pommer,
Company I, Fifth Cavalry,
Died of Disease
October 3, 1876.
Native of Germany.
Age 31 Years.
It is believed that Pommer was a
member of the command of Gen.
George Crook, composing the Yellow
stone expedition, which was in the
Black Hills at about the time of
Pommel's death. Records show that
after a few days' rest Crook's com
mand marched from Crook to Custer,
where it remained in camp until the
early part of October, 1876, when,
after a short reconnoissance down the
south fork of the Cheyenne river,
it ventured to Buffalo Gap, thence
proceeded to Fort Niobrara, Neb.,
where it disbanded.^
It is probable that members of the
local American Legion post will take
steps to have the exact spot of the
grave located, so that a new and
permanent marker may be placed
over the grave. For the present, the
weather beaten marker will He kept
in the Harry AA'ay rabin in the out
skirts of Custer, where are assem
bled numerous re.lice of the early day
history of this part of the Black
Hills.

Retailers Trail
Down Robbers
Nebraska Federation's Efforts
to Ferret Out Burglars
Meet With Success.
The Federation of Nebraska Retail
ers has again demonstrated that its
plan of combating the robbery men
ace of this state is effective. On Oc
tober 20 the Broz f Dunder-gurnge
of Prague, Neb., was entered by
breaking through the rear window
and approximately J200 worth of
merchandise stolen, consisting of
practically all radio supplies and
equipment.
The federation was notified imme
diately and began an investigation.
Suspicion soon centered on a certain
high school boy In the Prague vicin
ity, who finally made full confession
to the federation's representative and
returned the stolen goods to the
store. Other parties appear to be
implicated, and these clues are now
being investigated. Arrests are to be
made soon.
This Is the fourth robbery on which
the federation has worked since it
began Its campaign in the early fall.
The K. B. Penny robbery at Fuller
ton was the first. One of the rob
bers of the store is now serving time
In the Nebraska penitentiary. Two
are in the Iowa penitentiary and
two others are under arrest await
ing trial.
The second was the A. M. Oranitz
robbery at Farwell, Neb./As yet no
arrests have been made itt connection
with this robbery, but some live clues
are being worked upon. The Rich
land garage at Richland, Neb,, was
robbed of less than $50 worth of auto
mobile supplies, and Investigation of
this robbery Is still in progress,
The federation's plan of fighting
burglars consists principally of the
organization of vigilance committees
in each town working with the law
enforcement officials. In addition,
the federation provides its members
with a detective service for the fer
reting out of any clue or suggestion
that promises the slightest hope of
leading to the desired results.

“Gretna Green" Is
Almost Deserted
Only 17 Marriage License- Is
sued in Dodge County
in Three Months.
Fremont, Neb.. Nov. S.—The Dodge
county judge’s office, wpiere mar
riage licenses at one time were the
chief stock of trade, may yet have
to put out a “going out of business”
sign.
It has been three weeks since any
couple has come to Jurge Winter
steen’s office for a mariage license,
and two wreeks since a permit has
been granted.
Three month* have passed eince
Nebraska's new tnarlage law went
Into effect and only 17 marriage li
censes have l>een granted in Dodge
county in that time. Judge Winter
steen, in former day* Issued that
many licenses in less than a week.
At one time Fremont was recog
nized as the "Gretna Green" of
northeast Nebraska. With three
railroads unloading its passengers at
the Dodge county capital. Judge
Wintersteen's office wag a popular
"hangout" for prospective bride
and bridegrooms.
Appeal Denied.
Columbus, Neb., Nov. 8.—The ap
peal taken to the district court by
Stanislaus Kula, farmer, from a fine
levied against him on a charge of
wife beating was thrown out of court
by District Judge F. W. Button.
Yellow
Cab
Likes clean
competition
A few people imagine
YELLOW CAB rates are low in
order to discourage competitors. We
don't object in the least to clean business
rivalry, but we do hate slip-shod cab
service.
There is plenty of room in
this city for every taxicab run
ning on the streets if they were oper
ated according to the standards established
by YELLOW CAB and at YELLOW CAB
rates of fare.
Clean, safe, modern equip
ment; courteous, reliable drivel's
backed by organized responsibility
operating at low rates creates the cab rid
ing habit, and this is our most valuable
asset. -
If competition, lacking
system and knowledge of the cab
business, is unable to afford high
grade service at low rates, the blame can
not be laid at the door of YELLOW CAB.
The law of supply and de
mand regulates the cab business
just the same as any other business.
The public will continue to buy the best
value obtainable for the lowest price. That
is the reason they prefer YELLOW CABS.
The success of YELLOW
CAB is built on volume business
and small profits. There are no
secrets to our methods. Competitors can
do the same, if they want to.
