TIT13 NOHFOIA' NKWS : I'MMDAV , NOVKM1.UOU 20 , JDOfl The Town Never Felt Better in its Life. CAN TALK IN ANY DIRECTION The Camp Dewey Telephone Ex change has Its Headquarters Here. Manager Busy Building New Lines Out Water Is Excellent. Crclghton , Neb , , Nov. 1C. From n Staff Correspondent : A nmn who Is located In Crolghton , or n woman cither , for the mutter of tlmt , Is able to tulk very easily nml with the nicest convenience to over half u hundred farmers In the Immediate vicinity over n telephone wire nnd to nn almost unlimited number of towns tributary to this city by way of the Telephone system which Manager Thtelsson has built nn throughout this section. "Camp Dowoy" Is the name of the Borvlcij and the wires run In three dlffei nt directions from here east , west and north. They form a net work throughout the district for many miles , which is very complete In Its means of communication and the people appreciate It by a , largo majority. At Spencer , Neb. , the line connects with the Wm. Krotter & Co. ystem , which is very thoroughly es tablished In the extreme north part of the state and which runs over Into Fairfax and Bonesteel. This system goes also to Anoka and Duttu , Mr. Thlessen has stretched wires clear up to Baker and In towns around that neighborhood. In the spring time many more farms all over the territory are going to be con nected with tile circuit. It Is here that the Nebraska Tele phone company , with their exchange center In Norfolk , connects with the Camp Dewey line. Crelghton Feels Good. Creigbton , as a town , never felt bettor In Its life. It is enjoying that typo of prosperity which Is of a per manent .quality the kind that Is good to look upon and refreshing withal. The handsome business street stretching east and west never put up a bettor front and it has al ways looked well. The crops in the country round about have been ox- icellont this season and the mer chants are enjoying a good trade in return. There Is seldom any Illness in Crolghton. It is a town that Is built on the hospital order. With one end of the town far above the other , the surplus water all runs away like a good lltttlo stream ought to , and there are never any of the stagnant pools with green scums lying around the hollow corners trying to catch human beings and strike them in the face with typhoid fever. One of the really good features of the community , too , is the drinking water that it affords. Somehow or other the man who laid out Creighton years ago seemed to have a hunch that there was a pure , healthful lot of liquid beneath the surface of the hill and the sparkling stream that is pumped out every day for the re freshing of the people and the quench ing of their thirsts. PLAINVIEW. The Republican publishes a half tone picture of U. A. Bowman , who , it says , is the notorious actor-painter who left Plninview between two days and has not been seen since. Any information regarding his where abouts will bo liberally rewarded by the business men of this town. The funeral of the five year old daughter of Guy R. Quimby occured yesterday. Rev. Leidy officiated and ' 'J the remains were interred in the Plalnview cemetery. G. F. Durland returned from Boyd county last night and was surprised to learn that his homo was quarantined - tined , Miss Gllberta having a light attack of scarlet fever. Plalnview Republican. LYNCH. Joe Kulhavy has moved to Monowl and Is opening a general store there. W. H. Cooley and family moved up from Norfolk the first of the week and will make Lynch their homo in the future. They moved into the Catlln building. A visit to the Methodist church on a Sunday evening will show that Rev. Muller , the now pastor , Is being kindly received by the people here. There nro very few empty seats left In the church by the time the pastor is ready to take his text on Sunday evening and the interest and atten tion given him Is very good. Norrls Iluse , of the Norfolk News , was in Lynch looking up business for his paper Wednesday evening. By the way the News Is giving the people ple of Norfolk nnd all this section of the state n good newspaper that gets the news to us a long tlrno ahead of the Omaha and other city papers and t It Is becoming quite a welcome guest to our dally exchange. Corn husking is engaging the at tention of nil of our farmers at pres ent and they report a good quality nnd n largo yield generally. The av erage yield Is 40 bushels per acre , though some of It will go along way above that. L. A. Potter , from over on the Missouri rlvor bottoms , brings in the best report from a small patch that he has husked on his place. On an aero nnd a quarter 112 bushels of good corn. The general yield over there will run above C5 bushels per acre this winter. How Is that for Boyd county ? Quite an Important business change took place in Lynch Tuesday when Pete Carroll traded his livery barn and business and his now residence In Lynch to Moses Klllott for his 800 aero ranch over near Scottvlllo , the transfer of possession Is to be made December 1. Pete Carroll has proven himself n good llvorynmn and n de sirable citizen to have In a town and wo nro sorry to see him leave , even though he will still make this his trading point. Mose Klllott needs no introduction to the people of Lynch and It Is with pleasure that ho is welcomed turning us. Wo anticipate that ho will bo quite snccessfull with the barn. The arrangements for the opening of the rural free delivery route nro going tin slowly. 13. H. Mark has been appointed carrier and has sent in his bond. The work of getting boxes nnd putting thorn up rests with the people to lie served and It will stand them in hand to order boxes at once that nro approved by the depart ment and have them up by December 1 as no mail will bo delivered for anybody that 1ms not such a box. J. W. Newell has sold about thirty boxes nnd will perhaps supply most of the rest of the patrons of the route with boxes. The proposition for township or ganization , 'submitted to Iho voters nt the last election failed to carry as something over 1,000 votes wore against or did not vote at all on the proposition which is the same as voting against. Had the proposition boon discussed somewhat It would have carried and the friends of the measure she ild see that it is pre sented again int year nnd placed before the pco.'ilo in a way that they can think it over before election day and como to the polls nnd vote in telligently on the question. Under such conditions It would bo sure to carry. The Lynch Milling and Power com pany informs us that they nro now busy making preliminary arrange ments for the putting in of an elec trical plant , not only here In Lynch but also in Monowi and Brlstow. However it will bo some time before they begin actual work on the plant as there is n great deal on prelimin aries to be arranged. When this is completed these towns will have as good lighting plants as the larger cities of our country. The well Is still showing Us wonderful strength as a power producer and will furnish enough to make all that Is needed for the mill and the lighting plants. Lynch Journal. PIERCE. On account of the announcement that Carrie Nation would bo in Pierce next Monday all of the saloons In Pierce bad their plate glass front Insured tills week. Dr. Guy C. and Jns. R. Duff of Chicago Imvo been visiting the past two weeks with their brother , Daniel Duff. Jas. Duff contemplates moving to Pierce in the future nnd locating if he can find some business to en gage in. W. G. Hirons , the county clerk elect , has offered the depntyship of that office to Prof. L. P. Tonner of Osmond and wo are pleased to say that that gentleman has accepted the same. Prof. Tonner was the repub lican candidate for county superin tendent in the recent political struggle and was defeated by but a small margin. The splendid fight ho made for the office ns well as ills ef forts for party success certainly en titles him to recognition and Mr. Hirons will receive hearty congratu lations on his wise selection. John Thomas took n shot at a couple of pelicans sailing about on n pond on R. A. Tawnoy's ranch last Saturday , ono falling to his marks manship. The bird was brought to town and sent to Norfolk by Relmers Brothers to be mounted. Its wings measured over eight feet from tip to tip while it was five foot nnd four Inches in height. Its bill or beak is peculiar in shape , the lower part be ing convex nnd shaped llko a vessel. It'is a rare bird In these parts. M. Wagner , who recently purchased the building west of the Miller block , is making arrangements to build a brick addition to the rear , the same being 22x30 feet. Ho is now making the excavation for a largo collar and will put in a largo oven for the bak ery. Ho also Intends to remodel the front but owing to scarcity of labor his plans are seriously handicapped. The action of two or three persons last Saturday night or early Sunday morning reminds ono of the methods of the White Caps or Kin Klux gangs that infested the South after the war , rather than that of law-abiding nnd decent citizens. The publicity given by some irresponsible reporter to the Norfolk News the next day Is also to bo deplored. Wo understand that arrangements are being made for n sparring match and wrestling match between the Pierce and Osmond sports , the same to take place at Pierce on Thanks giving day. Bert Cody nnd young Sweenio will represent Pierce and Jim Farrow and Doc Davis will make a stunt for Osmond. Liberal purses will bo offered. Pierce Call. Got Nice Orders From the Farmers of Newman Grove BAIT WAS WIRE , POSTS AND SALT Groceries Were Delivered In Duo Time but the Articles Most Wanted nttlic Prices Named Hnve Failed to Ar rive Customers arc Chagrined , An agent representing a Chicago grocery house got In his work on u number of people In this vicinity recently centlyTlie principal reason for there being so little complaint lioro is no doubt because the victims are cha grined at their own gross credulity. The oily tongued strangur approach ed his Intended victim with a How of words that was to many bewildering. The victim readily forgave that be cause ho was from Chicago the windy city and the sights oven in Chicago are bewildering , then why should not the tales of a smooth talking Chicagoan - an regarding his immense establish ment In Chicago bewilder ? Olaf Nelson said the oily tongued came to his place and called to him to como out of the corn field as ho had something to toll him and nddod " 1 sell everything from n hair pin tea a thrashing machine. " Olaf told him to wait until ho could finish husking two or three rods and go along up to the corn crib and ho would llston to what ho had to say. The follow drove away. The agent's bait was barb wire at $2.20 ; a barrel of salt , 90c ; cedar posts , Oc , then It was an easy matter to get a good order for groceries. A delivery was made the first of last week , that Is the grocery part of the orders were delivered , but the posts , the wire and the salt , have not yet como , nnd never will. The prices quoted were lower than reliable mer chants can buy for In largo quantities. The agent makes big money nnd the farmer pays the bill and pays more for Inferior goods than ho would if ho patronized his homo merchant. A largo number of farmers came to town Saturday to got their 9c posts , twenty-two wire nnd OOc salt. Some wng conceived the Idea that it would lie a good joke to notify Andrew Reed that the posts had arrived and ask him to pay the freight and do the col lecting from the farmers as the posts were taken , but Andrew was too sharp for the joker and absolutely re fused to have anything to do with the matter. However , ho was kept busy denying that ho knew anything of the wire or posts , for the farmers had all been directed to Andrew Rood as the man behind the posts. When the agent made the grocery delivery he excused the delay of the posts , wire and salt by saying the wlro was loaded at the factory and his order would necessarily have to take Its turn as received ; the posts were being cut in Tennessee by a railroad contractor and they had n long way to come. The salt was to como from Knnsas. Chris Mathlason , when ho gave the smooth agent , Mr. Jones , an order , specified that if the prices on grocer ies wore not lower than ho could buy the goods in Newman Grove ho would not take them. There were no gro ceries sent to Mr. Mathlason. Mr. Jones knew better than to send them. Newman Grove Herald. RURAL TELEPHONE LINE , Wayne Business Men Propose to Talk to Neighboring Farmers. Fifteen representative clti/ons met In the law olllco of Welch & Davis Saturday afternoon for the purpose promoting n rural telephone line. John Llveringhonse was elected chair man and Wm. Fisher secretary. All were enthusiastically in favor of the enterprise and the only question be fore the mooting related to the course of procedure to accomplish the do- sired end.

If possible , it is proposed to connect with the established lines in Wayne. Wayne Herald. FAIRFAX. The fire bell arrrlved Saturday and was placed in position. It Bounds loud and clear and anyone can tell when there is a fire now. Some sig nals arc arranged and the boys can toll by the strokes of the bell what is wanted of them. Fairfax keeps to the front. Take a visit out among the farmers nnd yon will notice that they are stor ing away many thousand bushels of corn. There is hardly a farmer that will have less than a thousand bush els of corn nnd there nro close to nee hundred farmers in the county. That figures up pretty strong , don't you see ? Stand up for Gregory county. See ? The various lodges of the town will meet and decide on plans for n largo lodge hall. This Is something that the town needs. The Woodmen with CO members , the Workman with GO members , the Bohemian lodge with with 40 members makes a good mom- hoi'Hhlp and there Is no roamm why UK y cannot organize n good Htuck company and build a line hall The Hi'e hoys Imvo soul for mime good plays and as soon no they como will organbo and Imvo snvornl good entertainments this winter. The boys need llromen's suits and other things to make their work In case of a 11 rose so they ciui light to the host advan tage and will have them If rustling will do any good.

Attacks Theories of the Prosecution at the Trial In the Lower Court and Exhaustively Reviews the Tes timony. Lincoln. Nov. 17. The supplemen tary brief In the case of Lena Mar garet Lllllo , nt present under llfo sentence for the murder of her hus band , Harvey Lillie , at David City last winter , has been tiled In the supreme court. The brlof tiled Is by 1 lamer I lamer , of plaintiff In error counsel and comprises 101 pages. The advancement of the ap peal by the supreme court has IH-MI awaiting upon the tiling of this brief and it is now a probability that Un case will come before the court for argument In the near future. The brief devotes a considerable space to the explosion of the theories of the prosecution at the trial In tin- lower court and exhaustively review * the testimony there Introduced , li alleges prejudicial error and asserti that certain Inquiry was not legal Exceptions are taken to the Instruc tlons of the judge to the jury and the practice of allowing ono person to be tried on an Information and another on an indictment at the dis cretion of the courts , IH attacked as legislative functions an assumption of the tions by the judiciary , and consequently quently unconstitutional. The testimony In regard to the use of bloodhounds to trail the per sons at first suspected of the murder is regarded as Important by plaintiff in error attorneys and as favorable to Mrs. Lllllo. The brief assorts that this testimony was treated in too light u manner at the trial and was not given the weight to which it was entitled. The position of the mur dered man , on the bed , at the time of the arrival of those .who appeared the shooting on the scene shortly after ing and before ho had boon moved by the physicians is alleged to have boon such that Mrs. Ltlllo could not have shot him according to the the ory advanced by the prosecution.
