END OE WEEK
IN NORFOLK
Saturday Night on Norfolk Av
enue Is Unique ,
EVERYBODY IS DOWN TOWN
New York Has Its "Great White
Way , " and Chicago Has Its State
Street But Norfolk Has Saturday
Night on the Avenue.
New York has its "Great White
Way , " Chicago its State street am
Norfolk has Norfolk avenue on a Snt
urdny night
Not just the same thing , to be sure
but for nil thnt Norfolk avenue on a
Saturday night is distinctly dlfferen
from all the rest of the week. It 1
just before Sunday and just after th
week's work has been finished. Sand
wlched in between these two mo
ments , It affords opportunity for Nor
folk to go down town for nn nlrlng , or
n-shopplng , or on pleasure bent. Am
the whole town even Including tha
portion of It that has to bathe th
children afterwards puts on its bon
net and goes.
The street is ablaze with the light
of n hundred Illuminated stores. Am
it is an animated avenue nil along th
line n thoroughfnre fnirly alive wit
men and women and youths ant
misses walking , walking , walking.
Among the throng there nre mnn
dozens of lively commercial travelers
Just in "off the rend , " for their Sun
day's rest. And there's no doubt that
they do enliven the scene.
Then there's the railroad man and
his wife. Perhaps he's just in from
a week of trips , and he takes ad
vantage of the fact that the stores are
open , to come up town and buy what
he needs , and to look around.
Automobiles big ones and little
ones , loud ones and the silent kind
whiz back and forth , dodging in and
out among the crowds. Cabs are
running hither and thither and the
family phaeton Is out for an even-
Ing's drive.
The picture show is a busy place
and there's n rush and a jam In most
of the retail places of business.
There's a sort of excitement In the
air a contagions animation that
spreads around among the crowd from
one to another an excitement that
gives the last hours of the dying week
a unique place In Norfolk's life year
In and jear out.

Aren't ' Any Anywhere
There are no prairie chickens in

RATTLESNAKE

Big Rattle is Killed at Oxnard
Hotel ,
WAS ON THE STONE STEPS ,
A Rattlesnake With Five Rattles and
a Button , and About Two Feet
Long , Was Killed in Front of the
Oxnard Hotel on Norfolk Avenue.
Does it necessarily follow that just
because civilization is moving more
and more closely upon the reserva
tion of the Rosebud Sioux , that the
reservation must back up and over
flow Into civilization ? Indeed that's
the sign of the times , if rattlesnakes
in Norfolk may be taken to mean any
thing.
thing.A
A real live old-fashioned rattle
snake , with five rattles and a button
on his tail , was found and killed on
a stone step leading Into the Oxnard
hotel , on Norfolk avenue , yesterday
afternoon.
Where the rattler came from , no
body has ventured to guess. Sunning
himself complacently , he lay peace
fully on the stairway when discovered
by Homer Killian , a bell boy at the
hotel.
Everybody about the hotel took a
hand in killing the prairie-grey ser
pent. It was about two feet long.
It is said that the hot weather of
the past two weeks has brought out
rattlesnakes all over the middle west
in numbers not often remarked.

A U'lOgrnin wns sent by The News
10 Secretary Wllllnm Hnywnrd of the

eral days ago , urging that Judge Tuft
be sent to Norfolk on his middle west

as well as several other northern Ne
braska towns , Is good news to thla

Mammoth Crowd Expected Here.
Tnft day will unquestionably wit
ness a mammoth crowd In Norfolk
Thousands of people from all ovei
northern Nebraska will undoubted ! )
be here to listen to the presidential
nominee. From the Rosebud coun
try , from the west as far as Chndron
100 miles away , from the Albion-
Oakdale branch , and from the Union
Pacific line to the south , hundreds
upon hundreds of people will prob
ably center In Norfolk on that day.
From the fact that Hoskins and
Wlnslde have not been Included In
the schedule as telegraphed , it Is ex
pected , also , that many people from
those towns will be here for the
speech.
His Second Visit In Norfolk.
This will be Judge Tnft's second
visit In Norfolk. Just a year before
the day of his nomination he passed
through Norfolk and made a brief
speech here.

dential candidate. Roosevelt was here
eight years ago , ns a candidate for
the vice presidency , but he has not
been in Norfolk since he becnme
president.
Be Here About Noon.
It is expected that Judge Tnft will
be in Norfolk around the noon hour

While Norfolk nmnteiirs make Merry
Saturday afternoon on the local diamond
mend the local ball season , with one
eye on the pennnt fight In Sioux City ,
drew to n close. Already the official
season In Norfolk Is over. At the end
of the Emerson Norfolk game the
Norfolk nine was disbanded for the
season.
It was a satisfactory season. From
relatively Inexperienced material Nor
folk developed a nine which was cap
able of meeting the best which the
north state country could offer nnd
which , while possibly not entitled to
claim championship honors , was not
surpassed in North Nebraska n an
amateur nine of home boys.
Twenty-live games were played dur
ing the season , fourteen won and eleven
lost. In Juno four games were lost
nnd three won. In July five were won
and four lost. In August two were won
and three lost. September netted four
victories.
Standing With Other Nines.
Norfolk met nine north state teams
during the season.
Plalnvlew wns Norfolk's chief rl-
vnl nnd in the opening games out
played the local nine. Norfolk how
ever won four out of the seven games
played , closing the season with throe
straight victories over Plalnvlew.
Norfolk after dropping two games
to the Wnlthlll Indians found two
ensy victories.
With Stnnton Norfolk played four
games nnd lost but one , the last gnme
played.
Norfolk and Spencer divided games.
Wakefleld won the two gnmes
played , the first by n score of 2 to 1 ,
the second by 3 to 2.
Norfolk divided the games with
Humphrey.
Norfolk defeated Verdlgre , , swamp
ed Brunswick 17 to ! and shut out
Emerson.
Norfolk had only one opportunity to
meet O'Neill the fast west line profes
sionals and dropped the game in the
lirst Inning.
The Men Who Played.
The season showed that Norfolk has
good baseball material available. Bo
vee , a farmer lad , and Klrklnnd , n
twlrler from Atkinson , have done

brother of Emll Sander. , who was shot
by Neiinnn in the sand hills , wns bit
ten by a rattlesnake. He had reached
down under his claim shack to get an
axe when he was bitten , and he had to
walk two miles before ho could get
anyone to catch his horse for him. In
tlie meantime his hand swelled so
much that he attempted to cut out the
poisoned llcsh , but could not stand it.
In a fit of desperation he took his shot
gun and in some way managed to blow
tlio back of his hand away. His suf-
fnrlngs were Intense.
Spencer Team Disbanded.
Spencer Advocate : The Spencer
baseball team has disbanded for this
season. The team made a good showIng -
Ing up to about two weeks ago when
they took a slump and lost several
ames. Out of thirty games played'
they won twenty , which Isn't so bad
a showing when considering the fact
that nineteen of these games were
pln > ed nwny from home and with the
best teams northwest of Norfolk.
Manager Coombs can be congratu
lated upon the success of the team ns
ho has spent much time nnd energy
In placing In the Held the best team
In north Nebraska. When n team
can go on the road and win two-thirds
of their games they are surely play
ing ball , and this Is the record Man
ager Coombs made with his team.
Several of the team piny nt Bone-

season nnd struck out nine men.
Several Norfolk men , when not en

Norfolk , found no trouble In picking

In fact many calls for players had to
be turned down by the home men on

W. R. Mnnsllcld , which occurred at
her homo northwest of town Inst Fri
day forenoon from the effects of n
draught of carbolic acid administered
by her own hand between 9 and 10
o'clock , was one of the saddest events
that these columns have been called

pulsive act of a mind temporarily af

to relieve a headache , to which Mrs.
Mansfield had boon subject for some
time. Naturally possessed of a finely-
organized nervous system , which hr/,1
