K V K f Mi f il Id S w T3ffi5SffW he TWENTY SECQND YEAR Identified the Pueblo Suspect J W Hupp received a photograph of the man held in Pueblo Colorado sus pected as being one of the robbers of the State Bank of Lebanon Monday morn ing and the sairie day went down to Ox ford whore ho exhibited the same which was identified by a number of people as a man who had been seen loafing about that town about the time or just before the robbery of Mr Hupps bank at Lebanon The sus pects picture is that of a hard looking desperate man There seems to bo good ground for believing that the authorities have in custody one of the robbers The Oxford identification is additional proof of the claim not long since made by The Tribune that Oxford is the re sort of more notorious scamps than any other town in Southwestern Nebraska It is the theory of some that organized gangs operate from that burg and per haps some of the quite numerous rob beries occurring over this section of Ne braska can be traced to that place if thoroughly investigated by experts Compliment to a McCook Girl The Sunday August 23rd issue of the Boston Daily Herald contains a full illustrated page devoted to half tones and letter press matter illustrating and describing Types of Girls in Summer School at Harvard Among those selected from the hundreds attending the school is Miss Ethel Barnott of our city who is giyen the place of promin ence on the page occupying very largo space in the center of the page In ad dition to the large half tone the Herald has the following to say concerning Miss Ethel who is a student at the New England School of Oratory in Bos ton but has been attending the Har vard summer school during vacation A Nebraska girl Miss Ethel Bar nett was the acknowledge beauty of the gymnasium as well as one of the cleverest and most indefatigable work ers Miss Barnett is an Emerson col lege girl and sees her distant home only at long intervals In Favor of the High School The shop boys and High School teams met on the athletic diamond Labor Day afternoon in battle array The result was a victory for the High School club score 14 to 9 Traver and Burnett and Smith and Powers were the batteries for the teams with Chlanda as referee and between chews and whittles Willie occasionally was inspired by suggestions from the grand stand and got into the game with fairly satisfactory results The scholars had the game fairly well in hand from start to finish and the shop boys admirers waited in vain for the balloon to go up it refused to as cend high enough The game was the sole diversion of Labor Day but the attendance was small but enthusiastic withal Samples of Some Fine Corn Mrs E R Banks and Mrs M G Stephenson visited at the farm of the formers brother Nick L Lee eleven miles north of Indianola Sunday and brought home with them to McCook samples of the corn growing on the farm as a memento of the trip Mr Lee has 110 acres of the corn and from the splendid samples exhibited at this office it is fair to estimate he will gar ner between 3000 and 4000 bushels of corn from his place this year The oars are fairly large and well filled and some of the corn is already out of the reach of frost Inhaled Something Poisonous A son of Lafe Miller of the Willow was taken very ill last Saturday while pitching wheat straw to a threshing machine and medical assistance was hurriedly secured from this city The theory is so far as we are able to get knowledge of the case that the young man inhaled something of a poisonous nature while at work as above indicated It is stated that the young man was in the habit of working and breathing with his mouth open Lost Credential Book Wo A 9910 Between McCook and Cedar Bluffs Kansas on the old road a red creden tial book No

Mabel essayed the role of Good Samaritan to the poor livery horse to whom she thought green grass would be a great boon While feeding the animal her thumb was taken into the horses mouth The nail was quickly chewed off and the end of the thumb painfully mashed and lacerated Indeed it was with some difficulty that the thumb was released from the ani mals mouth although the horse is in no sense

Association W S Fitch of Driftwood precinct was made temporary chairman of the organization and Mrs R H Thomas of Indianola temporary secretary A register was opened in which all the old settlers who were present recorded their names with the dates of their coming to the county It is the desire to make this as complete and accurate as possible Committees were appointed to formulate a plan for the perfection of the organization and to arrange for a program to be rendered on the occasion of the next meeting which will be held at Indianola on October 24th Owing to insufficient advertising the first meeting was not as well attend ed as it should have been but it is hoped that before the next meeting all the old settlers will be made acquainted with the movement and it is believed that a
