The motor service between Norfolk And Boncstcel will take the time of No. 403 , leaving Norfolk at 7:35 : a. m. and arriving at Bonesteol at 12:20 : p. -m. Returning It will leave Bonesteol it 2:15 : p. m. and reach Norfolk city depot at 7:10 : p. m. , thus making the . same time that the passenger train tdltf , but It will not carry baggage , express - -press or mall. This car will bo brought to Norfolk Sunday and will .start out on Its Initial run Monday morning , making the round trip each lay except Sunday. fSIlKht changes are made In the ar rival and departure of trains at Nor folk. Train No. 1 heretofore leaving Omaha at 7:10 : a. m.

The train from the west stops at ithe Junction for breakfast and leaves tfor Omaha at C:10 : , which place Is IT cached at 10:35. : / The Black Hills passenger , hereto- afore reaching Norfolk Junction at .12:30 : will bo twenty minutes later , reaching here at 12:50 : and after twen ty minutes for dinner will leave for Omaha and Chicago at 1:10 : , arriving in Omaha at 5:45. : There Is no change 3n the westbound Black Hills train which will continue to arrive at 7:35 : j > . JB _ nnd leave for the west at 8 o'clock. So far as Norfolk and this Immedi ate vicinity Is concerned the new card -will prove more satisfactory , as It will slvo a person a full half day and time to get dinner at homo without the scramble that has heretofore been mecessary to take one of the noon it rains. SOUTHERN FLIGHT OF DUCKS V/lntry Blasts Have Started Birds to Warmer Climate. The southern flight of ducks Is reported - -ported from several parts of the -.state. Great numbers of ducks have been reported feeding on the wild rice -and grain in Minnesota and they have been driven south by the recent win .ter blasts. In some instances the first good flight of the season was reported. Wbrd from about Sioux City indicates 'that the hunters there since the cold weather are getting pleiyy of ducks of the larger varieties , Including mal lards nnd redheads. But few geese were reported Hying. Owing to the mild fall and the ab sence of north winds heretofore the fall flight has been an absent quantity during what Is usually a good hunt- 'ing season. Native ducks , however , have satisfied the sportsmen. By some hunters In Norfolk It Is .maintained that this fall Is not to see anything like a real fall flight. These men claim that the ducks have gone -.south In small bunches unobserved .and that there really are not many Soft to constitute a spectacular flight Avlth the appearance of real flying weather. iFor the most part , however , Norfolk hunters legan ) to oil their guns with the first word that the duck move ment was on. "O'LEARY WOULD TRY WASEM. ' .Welterweight Champion Wants to Wrestle Wasem In Norfolk. Jack O'Loary of Omaha , welter weight wrestling champion of the northwest , wants to' meet Oscar Wa- isem , the Lincoln man , In Norfolk. O'Leary passed through Norfolk at noon on his way to spend a day or two with friends at O'Neill before go- entlne Saturday to talto on a wrestling match with Fugate , a Val entine man. The special reason that O'Leary Is anxious to meet Wasem hero Is that the Lincoln wrestler has many sup- 'porters ' In this section of the state. O'Leary appeared In Norfolk with Farmer Burns and showed himself to bo an unusually clover performer. O'Leary Is n much lighter man than the sturdy German of Lincoln but ho has the skill and agility to put the heavier man to the test. ACCIDENT ON THE UNION PACIFIC NEAR NORTH BEND. FIREMAN URBACH IS KILLED Investigation of the Accident by a Coroner's Jury Verdict Is That No Blame Could Attach to Anyone Ur- bach Twenty-three Years Old. Fremont , Nob. , Nov. 13. Special to The News : Explosion of the holler on a Union Pacific engine two miles west of North Bend killed Fireman L. W. Urhach. The accident was at once Investigat ed by the coroner's jury which held that no blame could bo attached to anyone. Fireman Urbach was twenty-three years old and a single man. Ho lives In Omaha. AMES AND NEBRASKA. Game Leaves Much Ugly Feeling In Its Wake. Ames , Iowa , Nov. 11. Correspon dents at Ames and Lincoln , Nob. , have been engaged In a prolonged newspa per war ever since the game at Lin coln last week , which has resulted In more or less hard feeling. Nebraska claims that Rcppert , the big Ames fullback , attempted to put Weller out of the game. Ames claims that the game should have resulted In a vic tory for the Aggies by the score of 13 to 10 , on account of the place kick , which touched the ground before clearing the bar of the Nebraska goal. Ames denies that Rcppert Intention ally used rough tactics , and quotes the officials of the contest to provo the point. Nebraska denies the right of the Aggies to open up the game with reference to the extra place kick , and declares that it makes no differ ence whether Camp or anyone else decides that the place kick should be allowed ; that Inasmuch as the um pire. ( Jutland , declared the game end ed 10 to 9 in favor of Nebraska , that Is the way In which the matter will stand. After the heat of the discus sion wears off it is not believed that Nebraska will continue In the attitude that has been taken by Its correspon dents. If a place kick should have been allowed under the conditions it Is believed that true sportsmanship will concede the game to the Aggies. Reppert has not carried a reputation for unsportsmanlike conduct hereto fore , and the many admirers of the man In the state will bo loth to be lieve that he would Intentionally at tempt to Injure Weller. Battle Creek. The Methodist parsonage was re modeled last week. B. Udlenek , who was visiting here last week from Howells , has gone to Spencer , where he Is going to work In Wm. Klocke's store. S.

REAL WILD CAT MONEY ARTIST His Method IB to Secure the Signature of a Business Man In Some Way and Then Either Countlrfelt a Name or Raise a Check. North Nebraska men should bo careful of their checks for a few days while Harry Lewis , listed as a smooth crook , Is operating In the state. North Nebraska has just gotten the "wild cat" money artists off her mind and the news that Lewis Is aboard , workIng - Ing Nebraska towns with his smooth swindle and dodging the police , isn't exactly reassuring. Lewis manages to get hold of a justness man's check and then raises It or duplicates the signature. Ho generally gets the check by appearing after banking hours with n request to > o given n check made out over the juslncss man's signature In exchange for an amount he will pay. This Is generally $2.50. Ho explains ho Is In a hurry to send a small sum to his wife ; that a bank would not honor ils check , he being a stranger ; while t will that of the merchant Once In possession of the business man's signature ho uses It for fraud- ilent purposes. He Is nn expert at lupllcatlng signatures , and so far no jank official has caught him up. Lows - s Is thirty-two years old , flvo feet ten nches tall , weighs 175 pounds , has brown eyes and hair. A TOWN THAT MOVES Work accomplished In One Week That Usually Requires Years. Gregory , S. D. , Nov. 13. Special to The News : The streets of this prog ressive city have presented a busy scene during the past week. A prob- em that has caused no end of worry or the city fathers during the past wo years has been to devlso means or putting the fifteen miles of streets vlthln the corporate limits of Greg ory In a condition of improvement commensurate with the city's rapid growth "and development. Although t Is little more than two years since he first settlement of the town Greg ory now has a rapidly Increasing pop ulation of 2,000 people , and the freight receipts and general volume of busi ness transacted are equal to that of most cities of thrice two thousand people. Naturally the amount of mon ey at disposal for street purposes In so new a community Is limited. Hap pily , however , an opportunity was re cently presented for securing the nec essary amount of street grading at a very reasonable cost and which the city council were quick to grasp with the characteristic Gregory spirit. This opportunity came In the form of Con- ractor Treadway's big grading outfit which had Just completed the work on the railway extension to the stock yards on the Trlpp county line and which was temporarily Idle , pending preparations for removal to winter quarters. So the town council engaded the whole outfit , and for more than a week a long string of dump wagons have filled the streets In one contin uous procession and with the big el evator plowing machine drawn by a score of horses digging into the hills and throwing dirt at a rate which would have reflected credit on the Culebra cut. The city of Gregory Is platted on liberal lines with wide streets and broad avenues , the seven principal streets being each a mile long. Al though the streets have heretofore been In miserable condition owing to scarcity of funds and consequent lack of attention , it is probable that today no city of this size In South Dakota can point to a better system of streets than those of Gregory with their easy gradients and well rounded surfaces. Thus by doing In one short week what other towns working in the old way have taken years to accomplish the live metropolis of the Rosebud has taken one more long stride toward her ultimate destiny as one of the chief cities of this rapidly growing state. AN HONORABLE DISCHARGE Conditions Under Which One May be Granted. Lincoln JournalCan : an honorable discharge be Issued to a member of the Nebraska national guard on rec ommendation of a company court of discipline ? Can an honorable dls charge hear on Its back a statement showing that the holder disobeyed an order to attend the annual encamp ment of the guard ? These are two questions In military law that have come before Adjutant General Charles F. Schwarz and Assistant Adjutant General Ernest H. Phelps. They have been put up to Judge Advocate General oral John C. Cowin and others learned In military law. Company B , First regiment , sta tloned at Stanton , had flvo men whom the officers evidently did not care to keep on the roll. They were honor ably discharged , but on the back of the documents Is an entry stating that the holder of the discharge disobeyed the order to attend the annual camp held at Lincoln. This entry charges an offense of which there is no record in the adjutant general's ofllco and no trial had. It Is considered a serious offense and the adjutant general will probably insist that the discharge be changed in some particular. As this Is the first company to try to enforce the order to attend annual camp , It Is probable that the notation of dleobodl enco will ho stricken out and the dis charges Issued. The disobedience re ferred to Is suld to be a violation of the Twenty-first article of war. To Issue an honorable discharge to ono who Is guilty of this offense Is said by ono authority to ho giving a reward of merit to ono who Is guilty of a most serious charge. Another member of Company B re ceived an honorable discharge on rcc omtnondatlon of a court of discipline. The adjutant general was of the opln Ion that there was no provision in the state military law for giving a dlo- charge with honor through a finding of n court of discipline , or oven upon recommendation of company officers. It was not clear to him how a man could bo tried by n military court for a transgression of military law or reg ulations and bo sentenced to bo pun ished by being honorably discharged. It is likely that the discharges will bo Issued minus any reference to a court of discipline. The officers of tbo com pany are supposed to bo willing to got rid of the men In question but they do not llko to Issue discharges without honor. The state law provides for a discharge for the following reasons : Discharge without honor on recom mendation of all the company officers , an honorable discharge on application for good reasons , for non-residence , nnd for disability. WILL LANJMN ASYLUM Man Who Wanted Money Now In County Jail. Plalnvlew , Neb. , Nov. 12. Special to The News : Marsh VanDovor , who demanded the money nt the Security State bank hero yesterday , was taken to Pierce In the evening by Sheriff Dwyer , and placed In the county Jail. When the officers went out to arrest him yesterday , his mind was wanderIng - Ing and he did not know what the of ficers were going to arrest him for. He showed fight by striking at F. Tepner with a chair , but Tepner used his club and soon had his prisoner under control. Ho was brought to town and later In the day was taken to Pierce by Dwyer. VanDover Is Indeed to be pitied. When rational ho is a good fellow and [ t Is a shame that he has been a vic tim of such misfortune. No doubt ho will be placed In the insane asylum. HUNTERS CLEAN UP GUNS AND FARMERS POST SIGNS. SEASON OPEN , FIELDS CLOSED Farmers Who Own Fields Where Birds Are to be Found Are Taking a Hand In the Quail Game That May Not be Pleasant For Hunters. To hunt or not to hunt. The law says that hunters can hunt quail after Friday morning. But there are a good many Madison county farmers who are saying that the hunt ers "can but they can't. " The season Friday morning will be "open" for quail. There a.-e a good mpry Madison county farms , however , which will be "closed" to the hunters. The arrival of the quail season has been marked by a cleaning up of shot guns on the part of the hunters and a nailing up of trespass signs on the part of the farmers. Madison county farmers , however , don't pin their faith on the trespass signs altogether. The approach of the open quail season Is heralded by the appearance of trespass warnings In The News. Among the prominent farmers and stockmen who have declared against hunting on their farms are S. T. Nap- per , J. W. Ray , L. W. Ray , Otto Borne and J. H. Massman. The open season won't do the hunt ers much good If the fields are "closed. " The quail season , therefore , Is "open" Friday on the highways and where the land owners do not oppose. WILL GIVE MINSTREL SHOW Firemen Are Planning Entertainment for January. A firemen's colored minstrel Is an nounced. At a meeting of the fire department Wednesday evening the flremen voted to substitute a minstrel performance for the ball they had contemplated. It has been a custom of the past few years for Norfolk firemen to hold a fall tournament and street fair. Ar rangements to bring one of the Par ker attractions to Norfolk this fall fell through and as a result the firemen set out to look for some other source of revenue. This they think they have found In a minstrel. A committee consisting of William McCune , Jess Beomer and Ed. Mullen has charge of preliminary arrange ments. Last spring a number of Norfolk young men won laurels In a minstrel performance given for the benefit of the Norfolk band. The firemen's minstrel will bo given about the middle of January.

Ills son , who was called to Rapid City when the sick man's condition became critical , has a claim adjacent to the father's near Interior , S. D. The son , however , was In Pierce at the time and Mr. Morey during his Illness In Rapid City did not have the attention that ho would otherwise have had. There have been few life tragedies more dramatic than that of the dying man who was hurried across the state In order that a few last minutes might bo spent at home. It was by the narrowest margin and as a result of the medical attention afforded by physicians who met the : raln cnroutc that the race was won. Mr. Morey was unconscious the last 'ew hours.

Morey of Pierce , a dying man , was brought through Norfolk Wednes day noon In a desperate effort to have ilm reach his home and wife before the summons of death came.

The dying man received every at tention from the great railroad system that was hurrying him to his family and home. At Long Pine , at Clearwater - ter and at Norfolk physicians were waiting at the station for the train. When Morey was taken from the sleeper at Norfolk the hotel man was breathing his last. A powerful stim ulant , however , administered by Dr. P. H. Snlter , the Northwestern's sur geon , rallied the dying man's vitality and gave hopes that ho might still live when Pierce was reached. When the Dallas passenger was ready to leave NorSolk a place was made for the sick man in the baggage car where he was carried on a stretch er. Word was sent to Pierce to have the train met by a Pierce physician. J. C. Morey has conducted the Morey house at Pierce for the last ten or twelve years. As a result he Is prob ably one of the best known men In north Nebraska. Before moving to Pierce Mr. nnd Mrs. Morey were resi dents of Norfolk , conducting for a time a boarding house In this city.

The question discussed was the time the lands should be appraised , the set tlers having been given permission to purchase. The land was appraised some two years ago under the direc tion of Land Commissioner Eaton , and an average value of | 12 was placed upon It. The settlers contend that the value of the land taken at the time the case went to the supreme court , which was about three years ago , should bo the basis cf sale. The land in ques- Mon is a part of the school land and has been in controversy for many years. Lincoln News : Governor Sheldon and State Veterinarian McKim have been In South Omaha attending a meeting of Nebraska live stock men , called to consider quarantine measures for the protection of animals In feed ing and shipment.

NJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED Disposition of Pews Is Wholly Within the Discretion of the Church Author ities and Civil Authorities Have no Right to Interfere. Waterloo , la. , Nov. 13. Judge Rain- ser has dissolved the temporary In unction against Thomas 11. Casey , Is sued at the Instance of n parishioner vhoso pew was barred because It was alleged ho failed to pay the last quar- erly Installment of the year's assess- nent. The court's opinion makes the church supreme In everything not af- ectlng the property rights of mom- > crs. Judge Ralnscr said : "By the showing now made It Is an- inrent that the plaintiff has no prop erty or contractual right In the pew n question or Its use. The only grounds on which the courts Intcr- erc In ecclesiastical cases Is In the > rotectlon of property rights. They vlll not Interfere with any discretion on the part of the church authorities vlth respect to church proceedings or discipline. The church has an abso- ute right to determine what pew the plaintiff may occupy , or whether the ilalntlff or any other person shall bo > ermltted to attend services at all. Such matters relate wholly to church government. The right of the plain- Iff Is as a worshiper In the congrega- Ion. No civil or property rights at- aches to membership. His member- hip Is voluntary , and ho accepts It ' with Its burdens and consequences and C * can abandon It at pleasure. The only remedy ho has Is to withdraw when disappointed. " Ranchers Oppose the Herd Law. Pierre , S. D. , Nov. 12. While the Lyman county homesteaders arc pushIng - Ing their petition to the county com missioners for a special election to decide the herd question In that coun ty , those opposed to a herd law are out with a remonstrance against the commissioners taking any such action , and It Is claimed are securing some of the names of the original petition. As the petition must contain enough names to make a majority for govern or at the last preceding election , It will not be very hard to get enough names In that county now on both the petition and the remonstrance to fill the requirement as there has been a lieavy Increase in population In that county since the time of the last elec tion. If two such lists come to the com missioners they will probably consider the one which most personally agrees with their views , and put It to the ones who are turned down to take action In court to force their petition for ward , leaving the field open for a long legal tangle before the question Is fi nally disposed of. While It Is only a question of time until the homestead ers will win , the fight against them can only be Intended as a time killer , mil will be used for that purpose if used at all. Building at Long Pine. Long Pine , Nob. , Nov. 13. During the last summer the residents of Long Pine have seen more new buildings completed than at any other time In the history of the town. Twenty-five new dwellings were finished within the last five months. The brick work on the Masonic building has Just been finished , and when this building Is completed It will bo one of the finest In this part of the state. The building Is of cement brick , with the exception Df the front , which Is of pressed brick. Iho building is 50x50 , the first floor being divided into two parts. The north part will bo used by the Brown County bank and the south room by the postolHce. The top floor Is being built by the Masonic lodge and will consist of a reception room , a dining room and a largo lodge room. The foundation for the now Moth- adlst church has been finished , but the balance of the work will probably bo postponed until spring on account of the disagreeable weather. When com pleted this will bo the finest church this side of Fremont. This church is to take the place of the one wrecked by the tornado which visited Long Pine last July.
