"I yelled for them to halt, then
fired, first at. the man nearest me
and then at Coyle. The second shot

chased the man 1 had shot at. first
He ran across a field and I noticed
him conceal something behind a
fence, but by the time I reached the1
spot he was out of. sight.”
Five Capsules Found.
The sheriff confiscated the package
concealed by the fence. It proved to
contain five capsules of morphine.

PAGEANT FEATURE
OF BUFFALO FAIR
Kearney, March 25.—The Buffalo
county fair is to run four full days
this year. August 25 to 28 inclusive.
Night fairs will supplement the ac
tivities of automobile, horse and
motorcycle races during the day. A
squadron of fliers will furnish excite
ment.
The fair association has materially
increased the premium list, especially
in the various livestock classifications.
One of the new features which will
be introduced in connection with this
year's fair is the big historical
pageant, In which every town in the
county will be asked to participate.
While the dates are possibly set a
bit early for the greatest advantage
in farm products, the fair association
believes the chance for fair weather
more than offsets the problem thus
introduced.

Mother in Germ any
Searching for Her
Daughter in America
_—-—'
lanhani. March 55.— \ hunt is
on here for a daughter whose
mother in Germany has not heard
from her for 15 years. \ letter was
leeched by \. \V. Christie, Bur
lington station agent of Hanover,
Kan., just south of here, which
was written in Germany by the
aged mother ten days ago. It was
addressed to ‘‘Station Master, Kail
way Station, Hanover by I^inham,
No'rde Ameriha, Nebrasky.” It was
forwarded here, and it is thought
that the mother will have her wish
gratified and the daughter be lo
cated.
Ail attempt had been made by
the mother to write her request in
English on the back of the letter,
but it appeared like she had used
a German-Englisli dictionary, and
wrote down the literal translation
word for word, and the grammat
ical positions of the translations in
English were so jumbled that .it
was hard to understand. Two
coupons of some kind were en
rinsed for return postage on the.
reply the woman solicited, and
Agent Christie kepi them for sou
venirs and will pay postage back
on the letter.
The mother’s name Is "Mrs. So
| pliie Brckonieyer” and she gave
! her address as Kanolke. Hanover,
Gennany. The daughter came to
Gage county, Nebraska, in 191(1, It
is learned, and soon thereafter
married Henry A. Barnslieo, for
merly a farmer located between
Ganliam and Hanover. Barnshee
moved from here to Missouri In
1915, and he is being traced back
to Kansas, where it is thought lie
will he found in a few days.

Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit’s Only Chance
Peter Rabbit, had formed the habit
of dropping around by the new home
of Johnny and Polly Chuck very
often. He liked to gossip a bit with
old Orchard. There was always some
Johnny Chuck. Then, too, lie liked ti e
| tiling of Interest going on there. *So
| whenever Peter was near enough to
j easily do so he ran over w here the
Chucks were now living.
Now no one can do a thing over
and over again for very long without
lie liked In gossip n bit with Johnny
C hut k.
having some one find it out. Reddy
Fox makes it his business to find
out the habits of Ms neighbors. Red
dy says that the most useful knowl
edge he possesses Is knowledge of the
habits of others. It has filled his
stoma "b more than once, and he
knows it will fill his stomach many
times again. Ho the instant Reddy
finds that one of ills neighbors has
done a certain thing more than once
he keeps watch to see if this Is the
beginning of a habit.
So when, on two momin.s in suc
cession, Just after daylight, Reddy
caught a glimpse of Peter going to
ward the corner of the Old Orchard
where Johnny and Polly Chuck had
made their new home, he began to
do a little wondering.
"I must look Into this,” said Reddy
to himself very craftily. "I must look
Into this. Twice T have seen Peter
Rabbit over there In the same plac*
I wonder if he Is making a habit of
visiting Johnny Chuck? If he Is I
want to know it. I may be able to
corner that long-legged rascal at
last." This thought seemed to be a
pleasant one. for Reddy smacked his
lips two or three times.
The following morning Reddy wag
hiding: where he could nee that cor
ner of the old stone wall, .1 nit after
Jolly round red Mr. Sun began his
dally climb UP In the blue, blue sky
l>'er Rabbit visited Johnny Chuck.
Again the next morning It happened
Reddv grinned. 1* was a satisfied
sort of grin. In fact, Reddv almost
chuckled.
On the following tnornlng Reddy
was up In the Old Orchard before
daylight. Behind the trunk of an old
apple tree he laid down. By peeplne
around It he *outd see the entrance
to Johnny Chuck’s house without
much chance of being seen himself
Juet after the Black Sliadows left
Johnny Chuck came out. lie yawned
ojkI then, after a look around, went
straight to a patch of tender grass
and clover, only a few feet away
from his doorstep and began to eat
his breakfast. In a few minutes lie
was joined by Polly Chuck. Reddy
watched them, but he didn’t try to
catch them. In the first place, he
knew that they would reach their
house before lie could catch one of
them. In the second place. Johnny
Chuck was too big. Reddy had a
great deal of respect for Johnny s
teeth and strength. So he merely
waited and hoped.
Just as Johnny Chuck finished and
sat up for a look around while he
chewed the last mouthful of swee
clover, Peter Rabbit Jumped over the
wall at a low place. He jumped over
not far from where Reddy Fox la:
behind the apple tree anil hurried to
Join Johnny Chuck. Reddy didn't
wait for Peter to look around. He
sprang out from behind that tree and
was after Peter liefore Peter had a
chance even to say good morning
to Johnny Chuck.
Peter was in a tight place. Right
along there the old stone wall war
quite high and solid. There were no
openings between the stones big
enough for Peter to squeeze through.
Peter had one chance and only one.
And he knew It. He didn't hesitate a
second. As fast as those long hind
legs of his could take him he started
straight for that one chance for
safety. Johnny Chuck and Polly
Chuck were starting for it also. Can
you guess what It was?
