HIE NOKFOLK WEEKLY NKVVS-JOUKHNAL : FRIDAY , OCTOBEtt 25 1907 ,
RESOLUTION MUST DE PA83ED
BY CITY COUNCIL.
FILED WITH DISTRICT COURT
Instructed That the Ordinance Was
Not the Lcn.il Method of Expanding
, the City Limits of Norfolk , a New
Move Will be Made.
The cltv council will have to take
t
\ another tack in Its aiiexatlon program.
V The general annexation ordinance
introduced and passed through two
(
leadings by the council two weeks
ngo was Thursday evening declared
by Acting C'lly Attorney Hurt Mapes
to represent a wrong course of proce
dure. The council was Informed that
the situation , Instead of calling for an
ordinance , under the state statute re
quired a resolution Instructing the city
attorney to bring annexation proceed
ings in the district court under peti
tion of the council against the prop
erty In Question.
i A number of residents of outlying
districts registered In the annexation
ordinance were present at the meeting
of the council Thursday evening aa
i emonstrators against annexation.
They wore represented by Attorney
Jack Koenlgsteln.
After the opinion given by the act
ing city attorney on the status of the
annexation proceedings the rcmon-
Ktrators did not deem It necessary
to present their case , though several
type-written remonstrances were illed
with the city clerk.
To follow up the now course It will
tjc necessary for the council to pass
a resolution outlining the annexation
petition which the city attorney Is to
lllo with the district court at Madison.
This action will probably bo taken lu
n short time , possibly In time to per
mit action by the district court at the
coming term of court.
There Is a disposition on the part
of the city administration to give the
rcmonstratora reasonable tlmo to pre
sent their sldo of the matter and
bring Individual cases up for review.
It Is thought that a fuller understand
ing of the matter will remove many
of the objections which some of the
remonotrators entertain.
One Important feature connected
with the situation Is the fact that the
property annexed will not have to pay
taxes or Interest rates on Improve
ments made and bonds voted previous
to annexation. And after annexation
they could reasonably expect to have
a just percentage of city Improve
ments made in the suburban districts.
A HERO LOSES HIS LIFE.
Attempts to Remove Handcar Which
Was Obstructing Track.
Watertown , S. D. , Oct. 21. Attempt
ing single handed to remove a bandcar
that was obstructing the track in front
of the westbound Hock Island pass-
tnger , Soron Sorenscn , n section lab
orer , was instantly killed. Believing
the train to be very late , the section
crow left their car on the track , and
the train came upon them unawares.
A curve shut out the engineer's view.
All of the crew with the exception of
Sorensen ran , but ho stuck to the car
until the engine was close upon him.
"Finding that ho could not remove it ,
lie ran , and was about ten feet from
the car when the engine struck it and
knocked It against him.
DELIGHTED WITH NEW PIERRE-
RAPID CITY LINE.
IN SPECIAL OFFICERS' TRAIN
President of the Chicago & Northwest
ern , With Other Officials , Passed
Through Norfolk Enroute to Chicago
From South Dakota.
For the second time within a few
months President Marvin Hughltt of
the Northwestern railroad passed
through Norfolk , With him were other
officials and directors of the road.
General Superintendent Braden and
Division Sueprlntondent Reynolds of
Norfolk accompanied the party in their
special train.
President Hughltt and party had
come down from the northwest , having
made the trip over the new Northwest
ern line from Pierre to Hapld City ,
S. n. , and the president was enthusi
astic In his impressions of that coun
try , tributary to Omaha.
"We found our new line a success ,
said he , "and we found It running
through a splendid country ; a fact
which we appreciated when we run
it there. But that country is growing.
I was much impressed with the num
ber of little settlements between Pierre
and Rapid City. They are composed
of thrifty , well-to do people ; just the
sort of people any country Is fortunate
to secure as pioneers , for they will
develop the country just as rapidly as
its resources will permit. I think that
every little line has a future as an In
strument of settling up and building
that country. And all that will re
dound to the advantage of Omaha , for
Omaha is the gateway to that section
of country. "
President Hughltt and party had
gone from St. Paul over Into Soutli
Dakota. With him wore vlco presi
dents B. B. Osborn of Now York , H
R , McCullough and J M. Whitman ol

WILL GET HIS RACE.
Zllmer of Stanton Will be Accommo
dated , But Must be Patient.
Battle Creek Enterprise : Win. Zll
mer , the Stanton sprinter , who las
week issued a challenge to Ed Losey
of Battle Creek through The Norfolk
News , has placed n check for fifty
dollars with that paper as a forfeit
for his appearance , the amount to con
stitute his share of the stake In case
the race Is run. Mr. Zllmor says that
ho has now done his part and that the
rest is up to Losey. Ho is ready to
face the starter at any time the Battle
Creek lad may name , but stipulates
that the meeting occur not later than
October 25.
George W. Losey , who makes all of
his son's racing engagements , says
that Mr. Zllmer will get his race , al
though arrangements cannot be made
to pull It off as soon as October 25.
For men who know Mr. Losey this is
sufficient. He has never yet been
known to hedge on any proposition ,
and If he says that he and his son can
not be ready to race by a certain date ,
it means that there is good reason for
the position ho takes. For the benefit
of the Stanton people , however , It may
be well to state that Mr. Losey Is the
democratic candidate for sheriff of
Madison county and neither father nor
son can take time at present for a
sporting venture. Moreover , Ed Losey
has been suffering for a week past
from a wound In his foot , caused by
stepping on a nail. Obviously a man
cannot keep In condition for a race
when his training Is Interrupted in
this way.
In this connection Mr. George Losey
also makes the very pertinent sug
gestion that when It comes to the llx
Ing of the place and date for the pro
posed race he will have something to
say. Among other things , he Is like
ly to Insist that Battle Creek be the
place , inasmuch as the previous meet
ing was held at Stanton.

cent of any Intention of wrong doing

EXTRA WORK WAS PUT UPON
COMMISSIONER HARDING.
BEST INTERESTS OF COUNTY
Untrue Statements Have Been Made
Regarding Supervision of Madison
County Poor Farm Every Transac
tion Clean Cut and Business Like.
Battle Creek , Neb. , Oct. 1C. Editor
News : My attention was called to an
article published last week regarding
Commissioner John H. Harding.
To the best of my knowledge , and
ought to know , that article Is not
rue and is misleading In many re
spects. It was no seeking of Mr. Hard-
ng's that ho should have the super
vision of the poor farm alone. I was
nt the meeting of the county commis
sioners when the two now members
leld their first session and know pos-
lively that Mr. Malone moved and
Mr. Taft seconded a motion to place
his arduous task on Mr. Harding , and
know that ho objected to it at the
time but the vote carried.
Mr. Harding little realized at the
line what a load had been taken off
of their shoulders and loaded onto his.
Now this accounts for all transactions
being done at the farm by Mr. Hard
ing and It Is well known to the people
of this vicinity that the stork-buyers
are few. Mr. Brechlor , Mr. Hogrefe
and Mr. Preeco arc , or have been ,
headquarters for those wishing to buyer
or sell stock. Now to my knowledge
there has never been any stock sold
here that the highest cash price has
not been asked and bids have been
postponed until other parties were
seen In an honest endeavor to get and
do the best possible. Now , take that
matter of the steers mentioned.
Among others who looked at these
same steers with the intention of buyIng -
Ing was Mr. Frank Sobotka , Mr. Ly-
man , Mr. Chas. Sprout , Mr. Preeco
and Mr. Hogrefe. They were yearling
past and we took the best offer and
Mr. Hogrefe got them by the head
and not by the pound. When they
were delivered I saw them weighed
just as accurately as cattle are ever
weighed and had there been a three or
five per cen shrink as is usual the cat
tle brought more than they would by
weight at the price offered. Mr. Hard-
ing has always insisted and labored to
have the farm earn every dollar it
possibly could and know what that
dollar was spent for.
Very Respecttully ,
C. D. Johnson , Steward.

AGAINST THE NEBRASKA COACH
A Newspaper Photographer Who Was
Trying to Catch a Snap Shot of the
Cornhuskers' Coach , Says Cole Kept
Moving in Queer Ways.
Young King Cole was a merry young
soul ,
A merry young soul was he :
Did he coach with his head ?
Did he coach with his arm ?
Did he coach with a crooked knee ?
Minneapolis , Minn. , Oct. 21. A staff
photographer on a local newspaper
wrote after the Nebraska-Minnesota
football game :
One of my assignments yesterday
was to catch a snap shot of King Cole ,
coach of the Nebraska team , while
the game was in progress.
It was a hard assignment.
When I Identified Cole , Nebraska
had the ball and it was just the time
when expert advice was necessary. It
was a tense moment , but Cole was so
active that a good photograph was
hardly possible. He was doing sort of
a turkey trot , raising one foot after
the other in rapid succession. So I
waited.
As the game progressed I noticed
that at crucial momenta Cole was pos
sessed by some odd form of activity.
Three movements , oft repeated , were
particularly noticeable the turkey
trot , a quick knee bend which might
bring him from an erect to a crouch
ing position three or four times in as
many seconds and a pose which was
remarkable for its unnaturalness.
Any of the positions he assumed was
so unusual that It made him conspicu
ous from any part of the gridiron.
My films were getting scarce and so
I snapped Cole only in the freak atti
tude which he so often assumed.
Some of the spectators at the game
saw mo making the photograph and
said they had been watching the queer
actions of the Nebraska coach. They
wondered If he was coaching from the
sidelines and were inclined to accuse
him of violating football rules and
ethics.
I wondered , too.
Fish Hatchery in Cherry County.
Valentine , Neb. , Oct. 21. It devel-
opes from a recent visit of Messrs.
O'Brien and Carter of Lincoln to this
city that a state fish hatchery will bo
located here , and operations will bo
begun at once. A trout hatchery will
be established at the lake just outsldo
the city limits , north of town. The
lake is formed by a fifty-foot dam
across the MInnecudooza creek and
already abounds with fish. A bass
hatchery will be located at Red Deer
lake , one of the Hackberry group.
Cherry county's famous fishing resort.
Work has already begun and Mr. Car
ter says It will bo pushed to comple
tion. The last legislature made an
appropriation for this work.

MISS RAYBURN A CANDIDATE IN
WAYNE COUNTY.
WOMEN TREASURERS ARE RARE
While Women Are Frequently Elected
as County Superintendents , They
Are Seldom Put Into the Office of
the County Finances.
Will Wayne county smash precedent
and place In a woman In the county
treasurer's chair ?
The Wayne woman who will be a
candidate for the treasurershlp either
on the democratic ticket or by peti
tion Is Miss Zetta Raybnrn. If Judge
Welch's decision , holding names "writ-
ten in" on primary ballots to be legal ,
Is sustained then Miss Rayburn's
name goes on the democratic ballot.
Women In north Nebraska are fre
quently elected to the office of county
superintendent but election to the
treasureshlp would be an exceptional
honor. Miss Rayburn has been em
ployed In the county treasurer's office
In Wayne for sixteen years.
In coming out In support of Miss
Rayburn the Wayne Democrat says :
Do not believe for a moment that it
Is the purpose of the Democrat to say
ought detrimental of the character and
business ability of Chas. Beebe , repub
lican candidate for county treasurer ,
for we all know that even a suggestion
that Charley was not allright and a
yard wide would fall on atony ground.
Neither can any one point the finger
of disqualification against Miss Ray-
burn , for sixteen years of hard , faith
ful labor has proven the lady's true
worth. Wayne county could not put
up two more capable candidates for
this office ; we are all agreed on that
proposition , or at least should be , and
the only consideration IB your personal
preference and which Is the more en
titled to your vote and support. Politics -
itics and all considered the Democrat
would be a "brute" not to do all It can
do decently for Miss Rayburn , and wo
believe the voters of Wayne county
will do the gallant thing by the lady
and show their appreciation of her
capabilities by electing her to this of
fice for the next four years. No other
deduction can be made than that she
Is entitled to it and worthy of the hon
or by all that is fair , equitable and
just , as between man and woman.
