ease came to an end last Monday
when the supreme court affirm
ed the decision of Judge Kaper
in the district court of this coun
ty holding that the Iiulo will mad
in 1888 by Stephen Boyd Miles
was, legally his last will and tes
tament in as much as the evidenc

worth $1,000,000.
INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Trades Love Of Woman Fox' $650
Charge.
The following, taken from the
Omaha News may interest Falls
City people to some extent as it
relates to parties who held forth
in this city some two years ago:
“That he might have, unchal
lenged. the affections of Mrs.
Catherine Patterson for himself,
Gates Parker is alleged to have
turned over to F. O. Woddell, for
merly of Omaha, Imt now of I>es
Moines, .^loO worth of jewels and
a .$.100' check, though the former
possessor of the woman’s charms
now says the cheek was a forgery
and is prosecuting his rival.
“Woddell until recently lived
in Omaha and Parker lived at
Guide Rock. When the alleged
barter of affection for money tool
place all the parties were in
Omaha.
“County Attorney English, on
Woddell's representations of
forgery, sent Detective Devereese
to Denver to get Parker. Dever
eese has returned empty handed,
with a story of how the man. in
his resistance to extradition,
showed that he had money in the
Guide Rock bank, which his di
vorced wife had so entangled
that his check drawn in good
faith was not honored.
“Mrs. Patterson, according to
Denver advices, declared that
Woddell had repented of his
bargain to give her up for a fin
ancial consideration and brought
the action through jealousy.
“Parker’s hearing at Denver
disclosed the rivalry of the two
men for the affections of the wo
man. Mrs. Patterson stated on
tiie witness stand that she had
posed for three years in Omaha
as Woddell's wife. She said
they had lived in Kountze place.
“ ‘I can show a letter from
Woddell saying all lie wants is
to get hold of me again.’ said
Mrs. Patterson testified, ‘but he
won’t, not a little bit.’
“Woddell is alleged to have a
wife and family living in Iowa,
lie formerly was agent for the
Reliance Insurance company of
Omaha. ’ ’

The 101 Ranch Show.
There was a big crowd in town
Saturday for the 101 Ranch show.
Our merchants speak of having a
big trade. But there was an un
usually rough element as well,
and the polices were kept busy
with minor offenses but there
was no serious trouble. The
show was good from the stand
point of a Wild West show and
was well patronized at both per
formances.

2ND ANNUAL HORSE SHOW
A FINE DISPLAY OF HORSE
FLESH
Big Crowd Enjcys the Splendid
Exhibit —The Show Pro
nounced a Success.
The second mutual exhibit of
j the Richardson County Horse
Show Association was held in
this city Wednesday of tins week.
It drew a very large crowd of
interested spectators from all
over the county.
The show was in every way su
perior to that of last year. There
was greater interest manifested
by the public, there was a much
larger exhibit, the animals ex
hibited generally were of better
stock and more classes were rep
resented.
The show opened at 9:30 a. tu.
and the ring was kept lively un
til noon, always something to see.
A recess was taken until 1 :30 p.
m.. when Ihe program was again
taken up and continued until
4:00 p. m„ followed by a parade
of prize winners. The First Reg
iment hand of Hiawatha, which
furnished music during the day,
was at the head of the procession.
Air. Howard J. Cramlish of
South Omaha was the judge of
the day. lie is a gentleman of
wide experience in this line and
several years of his life has been
devoted to this work. lie is a
graduate of our state agricultural
school and holds the record of
second place in the United State
International judging contest licit
in Chicago and first place on our
state team. lie spent the past
summer in Scotland taking a post
graduate course in his line of
work.
The general points observed in
Ids decisions were good bloody
life, action, general symmetry,
gait, style, color, condition, tem
per, general usefulness, ft was
often necessary to go into finer
points in making a decision, and
Mr. Gramlish said often In* felt
he would like to put a red rib
bon on two horses.
He spoke in most favorable
terms of the horses and mules of
all ages that were exhibited and
pays a great compliment to our
county.
It is hoped that our Horse Slm^
is an assured thing. It has a
real meaning to breeders of horse
flesh and to those who admire a
good animal from a disinterested
standpoint. It meant a splen
did day for our merchants and
pleasure for everybody. Another
year perhaps it can be arranged
to show the animals to greater
advantage and comfort to the
public. No effort will'be spared
next year to make it even a
greater success.

MINK LEAGUE TO CONTINUE
DIRECTORS PLEASED WITH FI
NANCIAL SHOWING.
Meeeting in Falls City Wednesday
Shows Good Standing Falls
City Leads in Attendance.
,\l a meeting of the directors
of (lie Mink I league the continu
ation for next year was assured.
The chief object of tins meeting
was to examine the financial
standing of the league in order
to make a report to tin* National
Association and assure the Mink's
position for next year.
The treasurer’s report showed
a balance of $407.78 after all
debts had been paid and above
the $.‘100 guarantee from each
town at the beginning of the sea
son. Of this balance, $.70.00
was voted to President Wilson to
reimburse him for any traveling
expense he might have incurred,
and $.40 was reserved for any
little bill that might he left: un
paid because of not being pre
sented in due form. The balance
was pro-rated to the six towns
of the league. A number of
players were reserved by the
rvcrsl i 'id s to protect them
selves with the National associa
tion, This simply means that
the clubs reserving these men
have first right to them for next
year, that the men cannot play
elsewhere unless released by the
.Mink club reserving them. But
it does not mean the Mink clubs
must keep them next year. They
may release them if they choose.
Although many of tin* Falls City
colts were reserved, Manager An
nin was not.
rails ( lty is particularly proud
of her standing in the league.
She won the pennant against
great odd. She leads all the
Mink towns in attendance and
we also believe in enthusiasm. In
her home county and among her
neighbors she stood absolutely
alone, but won out with fine
showing. You cannot down a
live town.
The attendance at the six towns
during the season was as follows:
Falls City. 14,205
Nebraska City. 13,111
Clarinda. 12.730
Shenandoah. 12.59!)
Auburn. 10,722
Maryville. 8,349

W. C. T. U. Notes.
On a “wet” petition to re-open
in Washington court house, Ohio,
there were 720 signers. Of these
only eighty-three were tax payers,
and of these, nineteen paid taxes
only on dogs. The total tax-pay
ing “wets” who signed the pe
tition paid only one per cent of
the taxes. Last, but not least,
ten men with penitentiary rec
ords.—The Union Worker.
