A Leader IB Wanted Who Will Make

Which May be Had for the Asking.
Championship to be Determined.
A north Nebraska baseball chant-
plonnhtp tournament tor Norfolk IB
gaining favor along Norfolk avenue.
A number of business men are ready
to i-also a fund to guarantee tuo neces
sary purses. All that Booms needed
to bring the tournament to Norfolk Is
the willingness of some organization
or baseball "fan" to take charge of the
movement
North Nebraska this season has n
nunibor of fast nlnea who are playing
close to leuguo ball and among whom
ft healthy rivalry exists. Norfolk as
the railroad center of north Nebraska
ought to be the place for some of the
fastest of these teams to meet In a
real championship tournament The
remarkably fast ball games pulled off
during racing week demonstrated that
.Norfolk has a good baseball atmos
phere.
With Norfolk avenue business men
willing to raise a guarantee fund ,
trusting to the gate receipts to equal
the fund , with some of the fastest
teams in the northwest available , a big
base ball tournament for Norfolk Is
substantial enough to bo worked up.
The coming of the Barnum & Bailey
circus to Norfolk on September 10 will
strike one week from the baseball cal
endar. Of the other weeks available
the first week in September has been
viewed with favor.
The baseball tournament as outlined
would run three days. At least four
teams would contest.

good fishing , though the fish 'aro af-
dieted with \\oims and are not good
for eating purposes. Guns are not
allowed In tbo park so that there is
little shooting done there.
Campbell Brothers' circus is not
going to Ficmont on August 28. Pur-
sons who had contiacted with Camp-
hell Bios , show to haul Its baggage
and furntbh Us supplies have received
notice that the concern has decided
not to fill iU Jate heie on August 28.
It is said the management decided to
cancel the date when It leauied that
Ringllngs had been in Fremont.
Another long distance toll operator
has been added to the force of girls
in the Norfolk exchange of the Neb
raska Telephone company. The em
ployment of the additional operator
was authorized as a result of the In
crease of long distance business
through the Norfolk exchange. This
Increase has been very noticeable dur
ing the summer both in Norfolk and
north Nebraska.
The telegraphers' strike has had
no appreciable effect in increasing the
volume of the long distance business
out of the Norfolk telephone exchange.
While a number of people may have
turned to the telephone In preference
to the strike burden telegraph wires ,
the fact that Nebraska service was
maintained by the telegraph compan
ies prevented any considerable trans
fer of business to the telephone ex
change.
Yesterday for another time J. C.
Rothe , a Clearwater business man ,
passed through Norfolk on a funeral
journey to Humphrey , the former homo
of Mr. Rothe and his family. This

rial at Humphrey. In two years Mr.
Rotho has been deprived by death of
a wife and three children , the tragic
drowning of ono little son startling all
north Nebraska. A son of Mr. Rothe ,
for some months a student of the Nor
folk business college , was ono of the
funeral party yesterday.
W. M. Ralnbolt will leave tomorrow
morning for Omaha , where ho goes to
make his future homo and to become
secretary of the new Peters Trust
company of that city , which will begin
business September 1. Mr. Ralnbolt
has lived practically all of his life in
Norfolk and his many friends here
very much regret the city's loss In his
departure , though anticipating and
sincerely wishing for him splendid suc
cess In his new venture. Ho has an
extensive acquaintance over the north
west which will bo of advantage to him
in this now work. Mrs. Ralnbolt will
not go to Omaha immediately but will
follow shortly.
Two now vacancies in the Norfolk
teaching force has brought another
touch of grief to the Norfolk school
authorities. Miss Householder of Bla-
den , who was elected sixth grade
teacher last week , has this week noti
fied the board of her election to an
other position. The second resigna
tion came from Miss Nollgh of West
Point , who was added to the teachlnn
force this summer. These two resig
nations will force an emergency meet
Ing on the board of education as soon
as two new teachers nro located. The
difficulty of the Norfolk board this
jcar in getting a full list of teachers
for the approaching school term has
rnt booi paralleled In recent years bul
thr sltu.Ulon Is said to exist in
man > other Nebraska cities.
NORFOLK HAS HAD 300 QUESTS
FOR PAST WEEK.
DEEN A PROFITABLE SESSION
Not Many Churches In the State Are
Large Enough to Handle the Synod
Convention Guests Have Deen Hos
pitably Entertained Here.
The Tuesday session of the Btat

Many buslnoHs Hems of Importance
such an the election of delegates tci
the national synod and the selection
of a meeting place for the synod two
years hence , were left over to the
Tuesday afternoon session.
The program of the state gathering

gates who have been In attendance re
mained over for the closing sessions
and will leave for their homes Wednes

The mission work of the synod wan
shown by reports to ho making splen
did headway and accruing gratifying
roaults. The state H > nod supports dif
fer eirt places In Nebraska.
Monday evening special servlceH
were hold in Christ Lutheran church
for the visiting ministers Rev , C.
Bronrmer of Head Ice preached the con
fessional sermon. The regular ser
mon of the overling was deliver od by
Rev. Mr. Dnunolow of McCook. His
subject was from First Tim. 1:10. :
The state synod which Is closing In
Norfolk Is characteri/od as a very
profitable session. The visiting guests
have been hospitably entertained in
the Lutheran homes of Norfolk and
have been guests whom Norfolk was
glad to entertain. No session of the
state sjond will bo hold next year on
account of the mooting of the national
synod mt jerr : In Fort Wayne Ind
Once In three years the national synod
moots and once. In three years the
state synod moots north of the I'latte
and once south. The state synod ol
recent years has grown so that there
are not many churches capable of car
ing for the big gathering
NEIGHBORS IN TROUBLE.
Farmer of Holt County Under Arrest
Charged With Shooting.
O'Neill Frontier : There was trouble
at the farm of John Rotherham in Em-
mot township and leaden shot Hying
last Thursday according to the story
of Cornelius O'Connell related to the
guardians of the peace and dignity of
the state of Nebraska In Holt county.
On the strength of hla stoiy , County
Attorney Wholan caused the airest of
Mr. Rotherham the first of the week
and placed him under bonds to appear
In the county court for a preliminary
hearing next Tuesday.
The story of Mr. O'Connoll relates
that on Thursday of last week while
ho and his helpers wore at work In the
hay field rrear the Rotherham place he
sent a young boy by the name of Farr
whom he has employed , to the Rother
ham place for a jug of water.
An hour or nrore elapsed after the
boy's departure and ho not having re
turned , Mr. O'Connell took a team and
wagon and drove to the Rotherham
place to ascertain what had become of
the boy. He says he met Mr. Rother
ham near the house and asked if the
Farr boy had been there. Mr. Rothor-
barn replied that ho was there some
place about playing with his boy , of
about the same age. O'Connoll says
he requested Rotherham to call his boy
but this he refused to do. After some
parleying O'Connell was asked to go
into the house , he states , and was fol
lowed by Rotherham , who , as they en
tered the door , reached for his shot
gun and undertook to strike with it.
O'Connell says he warded oft the blow
by raising his hand and caught the
sun as It descended between the thumb
and fore finger.
At this he made for the door to get
away , exclaiming as ho went , "My
God ! John , what do you mean ? " He
states that Rotherham shot as ho ran
out When outside , Mr. O'Connell says
ho demanded to know what the attack
meant and told his assailant that If
there was "anything between them" to
put his gun down and come outside
and settle it Rotherham , ho says , set
his gun down and started after him.
At this juncture , Rotherham's daugh
ter picked up the gun and started to
run away with it Her father caught
her and after a struggle succeeded in
getting the gxrn again. In the mean
time , O'Connell made for his wagon
and drove away as fast as ho could ,
and alleges as ho was driving away
Rotherham shot the second time , some
of the shot striking him in the hand
and side near the waist lino. Some of
the charge of shot also lodged In the
wagon box and a few scattering mis
siles struck ono of his horses.
Mr. O'Connell's story is the only side
of the case the Frontier has heard.
Ho says ho Is at a loss to account for
the assault as they never had trouble
before and Rotherham has always been
accounted a peaceable citizen , unless
It was because the Farr boy declined
to leave him and go to Rothorharn's to
work lie says the Farr boy was hold
a prisoner by Rotherham when ho went
for the jug of water. Rothorharn asked
the boy , ho tells , to leave O'Connell and
come and work for him and when the
hey declined ho tiled to Induce him In
go Into the collar to got HOIIIO boor.
Falling In thin and the boy becoming
frightened ho put both the I'utr boy
and IIB | own boy In the cloHol and
locked the door. It was during tliolr
alleged ImprlHonmont that O'Coniioll
appeared on the RCUUO and the affair ,
ho related , IH thutr Bald to have taken
place.
