Voiitlil'ul Poultry Thieves
There are a few lads living in
town who are nol only trying to ma
trouble for themselves , but are in a
fair way of drawing their parents
or guardians into paying a 'heavy '
line or damages. Prom complaints
that have como in , itappears that
tiio boys , bunched into a group of
fh'o or six , havebcen in the habit
lately ofraiding the poultry yards of
suburban residents and nearby farm-
era. On several occasions tlio gang
has been seen ) but were too far away -
way to bo identified. One day last
wqek , a lady living east of town , saA
the youngsters raid a neighboring
place. The- owner , who lives alone ,
was absent in town and the juvenile
thieves had things their way. Be
fore the lady could , interfere or give
an alarm , the boys Ijad shoved their
booty into a sack and started up the
rail road track on a run. They were
seen by several peoplcen route to
town , but always managed to concea
themselves in the weeds when in
close pi'oximitoy to any one. This
is only one of several instances.
They probably have some way of
disposing of the fowls to their ad
vantage pretty well as they are ap-
parent\y \ organized" In a thoroughly
systematic manner.

D10ATI1 FKOM POISON.
Tin- Victim , Daughter < > f One of The
llni'ly Pioneers of County.
As a result of taking a largo
quantity of tartar emetic which she
thought wns cream of tartar , Mrs. D
M. Mosrs of this place , died Sunday
night nt the home of her brother ,
Sam Sterner , after twenty four hour
of intense suffering. Mr. and Mrs.
Moses wore visiting the Sterner fam
ily at their place a few miles this'
side of Callaway and on Saturday
afternoon Mrs. Moses accompanied'
her brother and sister-in-law into'
town whore they made a few pur
chases. Among other things was
some cream of tartar , which Mrs.
Moses has been in the habit of tak
ing medicinally. This w.os bought a
] a grocery store ; but the lady , hav
ing her doubts as to its purity , dir-
rocted her brother to procure the
proper article at a drug store. lie
entered the drug store of Barber &
Matthews and was served by John
Chrlstopherson , an 18-year-old clerk.
Just how it occurred lias not yet
been dotirmincd ; but Sterner receiv
ed tartar emetic under the impres
sion that it was cream of tartar and
gave it to his sister as such. . At
10:30 : that night in the presence of
the family rft the Sterner home , Mrs.
Moses took a teaspoon full and a
half of the drug , and shortly after ,
'complained ' of burning sensations in
the throat and stomach. From this
on she grew steadily worse ami medical
ical assistance was summoned as
quickly as possible. Drs. Matthews
and Davy were botli in attendance ,
but the poison had gained too great
a headway and their efforts were
useless , Mrs. Moses dying in tho'
greatest agony at eleven o'clock Sun
day night. On being notified of the
death , Qoroner Pennlngton made a.
hurried trip in an automobile to the
Sterner place and made a thorough
investigation. He held an autopsy
on the body and declared that death
rcsulle'd directly- from tartar emetic.
An inquest , he thought , would be
unnecessary. County Attorney Gadd
also lost no time in probing into the
tragcdey and the result was a com
plaint issued from his office charg
ing the drug clerk , John Christo-
pherson , with man-slaughter. Sheriff
Kennedy immediately started for
Callaway to serve the warrant and
brought his prisoner to Broken Bow
Tuesday morning for preliminary
hearing , subject to the arrival of the
prisoner's father from Crawford.
When asked for his version of the
affair Christopherson said that
Sterner came into the drug store
Saturday night at six o'clock and
plainly stated that ho wanted tartar
a quarter of a pound box and asked
emetic , that he hunted around , fouiu
if that was what he wanted. Sterner
replied that it was and wanted to
purchase the whole box. This.Chris
topherson said , ho would not allow ,
as it was all ho had in stock , and
sold Sterner only an ounce. The
young man claims to bo a graduate
in Trtmrmncy , having attended the
college at Fremont , but says ho is
not registered. His homo is at Craw
ford.
The funeral of Mrs. Moses occur-
cd Tuesday afternoon at Callaway.
The interment being in the cemc-
tary whore the body of her father
who was one of the early settlers
of the west Table , lies.

Dr. Chrlstonsun Dead.
The many friends of Dr. Christen-
J ' sen were shocked to learn of his
death from heart failure at Port
land , Ore. , on Thursday of last
week. At first , the rumor of his
death was hardly c rcdited and
friends hoped there might bo some
, mistake ; but later reports only con-
I firmed the rumor and it was learned -
ed that ho had died dome-time during -
'
ing the early morning on Thursday ,
lie had been ailing for some time
'
and when ho loft here , six weeks
' ago accompanied by Mrs. Chrlstcn-
scn , it was to find a more desirable
location , a climate that would suit
him the year round. In Portland ,
the doctor had taken a bad cold
which seemed to trouble him greatly
His wife , who was nursing him , had
a cot near his bed , and late Wed
nesday night , after seeing him as
comfortable aa possible under the
circumstances , sought her own bed
and fell asleep. When she awak
ened in the morning the doctorwan
dead ; lie had succumbed to heart
failure and had died while she waa
sleeping. Mrs. Christensen took
the body of her husband to Hamp
ton , Nob. , her old homo , where the
burial ceremonies took place Wed
nesday afternoon. The remains
passed through Broken Bow on No.
42 , Wednesday morning and a num
ber of friends h'ere boarded the trajn
and accompanied them to their last' '
resting place. Ho has been prac
ticing physician of this place about
four years off and on specializing
on the ear , eye , nose and thr6at. It
was only a few weeks previous to
his departure for the Pacific coast
'
that he returned from abroad , having -
ing taken a post-graduate course in
Denmark.
Coming ,
Just a bit in advance of all other
musical comedies is "The Folwcr of
'th'o Tlaneh" Joseph E.'Ho'warda most
successful comedy. This particular
play not only possesses Mr. Howards
,
pest music but its plot is worked out
as strongly as any of our ebst dram
atic attractions. Mr. Howard wrote
this play expressly for himself and
Miss Barrington , and its success haa
equalled anything that has been pro'
dnced in the light opera in recent
years , remainig four months in 3
different theaters in New York and
200 nights in Chicago. The scenes
are laid in the mountainous section
of California , picturing typical ranch
life in the golden hills.
Flower is a girl just blossoming
into womanhood , who came to the
ranch of Judge Hopper almost by a
miracle sixteen years before the
piny opens. A stage coach convey
ing passengers through the mount
ains has tumbled over a precipice ,
and Judge Hopper with a party of
ranchmen went to the rescue. Ther
he found a baby in its dead mother'
arms ; ho brought it to his cabin an
this baby grow to be the flower of
the ranch.
Miss Nellie Waters is the Califor
nia bud. She is a winsome little
miss who can sing and dance , and
to her fall a goodly share of the inn
ical numbers. Margeret , the schoolmarm j
,
marm is portrayed by Miss Mabel
do Nudendorf who posseses a rich
soprano voice. John Frank , as Jack
Farnum , a young ranchman , who fi
nally wins the hand of Flower is
the possor of a clear teor voice of
wide range. Jack Harris as Skivers
a tenderfoot light comedy character
laughter with his nimble wit and 1
clover dancing. A sprightly chorus
of real singers and dancers go to
makeup a real organization. At t
