t Mad Dog Scare at Elgin.
Elgin Review : Saturday morning a
I well developed mad-dog scare struck
town. Two dogs were acting strange-
one belonging to Will Roberts nnd
the other to Hlna Campbell. The
dogs acted as though they hurt boon
poisoned , nnd as there had been some
"mad-dog" talk around town , the
owners decided as a matter of safety ,
to have them killed. Marshal C. C.
Roberts , by the order of the Village
trustees , had some bills printed noti
fying nil dog owners to muzzle or
chain up their dogs , under the pen
alty of having them shot. Sunday
while Mrs. J. A. Thompson was away
from home , her three dogs were
] > olsoncd. Those dogs were chained
on the back porch , and had no chance
to get the poison except by some one
taking It to them. This strengthened
the belief that the Campbell and
Roberts dogs were also poisoned. Mrs.
Thompson immediately put out hand
bills offering a reward of $25 for In
formation lending to the arrest of the
parties who did the poisoning. Later ,
bills wore posted In town , signed by
James OTDonpell of Columbus , secre
tary P. D. association , which Is said
to bo "secretary of the private de-
toctlvo association , " offering ? 50 for
evidence that will warrant the ar
rest of person or persons who poison
ed dogs or put out poison in the vil
lage of Elgin , Nebraska , between the
1st and Gth of September , 190S. Wm.
H. Campbell has also offered a re
ward of $5 for the same purpose. Wo
were given a tip that some detective
1
work was going on and that an ar
rest was likely to bo made soon. The i
poisoning" dogs or putting out of '
the same Is not only a mean , contem
plated trick , but It is unlawful , and
the parties who do It are likely to find
themselves In the clutches of the law
with the charges of a state case.
Automobile Accident.
Madison Star-Mall : On Monday
forenoon , while enrouto to Madison
with n team of old and very quiet
horses , Mrs. Gross , who resides nine
miles northwest of Madison , met with
a painful accident by being thrown
from her buggy onto the hard ground ,
striking on her left cheek bone nnd 1
shoulder. A six-year-old daughter was 3
dragged for some distance In the top
of the buggy and the fact that the
child was not killed Is nothing less 3
than a miracle. Mrs. Grose and her r
child were picked up by Win. Hartman -
man and taken to the olllce of Dr
I ng. who dreMMod ( heir wounds The
raiiHe of the accident UK near an wo
can learn rninu from the fact that tin-
team was between two automobiles ,
one driven by Alex Nelson of New
man Grove going west , and one by
Otto OlHon of the same place going
east. A short time previous7 II. C' .
HimkliiH of this place passed the team ,
which was somewhat frightened but
finally passed the machine after Mr.
HiiHkliiH had stopped. The Star-Mall
dooH not feel that It wants to censure
the drivers of the Newman Grove
autos at this time until a complete
hearing of the facts can be had. Uut
It may not bo out of place In speak
ing generally to sny that owners of
automobiles cannot be too careful
when meeting horses on the road and
especially when they arc In charge of
a woman nnd children. The case
above referred to will undoubtedly
serve as a warning to others. Mrs.
Gross was severely hurt and the ve
hicle Is n total wreck.
V , E , OLINE DROWNED
IN LAKEJTWANE ,
S. W. Lightner of Lyncrn'Returns
From Sad Journey.
_
S. W. Lightner of Lynch passed
through Norfolk yesterday enrouto
home from Spokane , where he had
been to bring back to Nebraska the
remains of his brother-in-law , V. E.
Ollne , well known In northern Ne
braska , who drowned August 31 In
Liberty l akc , near Spokane. Mr.
Ollne was a brother of Mrs. Lightner
of Lynch and of Mrs. H. McClenaghan
of Madison.
The young man had planned to go
fishing with n number of friends , who
wore unable to go at the appointed
time. Ollno then went out on the
lake In a boat alone and high winds
are supposed to have capsized the
boat. Not until September 7 was the
body found , when It came to the
water's surface. The remains were
brought back to Monroe , Neb. , the
family homo , and there the funeral
was held.
Ollne was thirty-three years of ago.
He was unmarried and had been In
the employ of the Commercial Cream
Co. , limited. Letters In his room in
dicated that he had been highly suc
cessful In his work for that concern.
Mr. Ltghtner could not say enough
In praise of ten young men In Spokane
who had roomed In the same house
with his brother-in-law , and who did
everything possible to lighten the
troublous trip of the Nebrasknn. Those
comrades had spent most of their time
from the moment Ollne was missed
until his body came to the water's sur
face , searching and watching in the
lake. "They acted as generously and
kindly as though they were brothers , "
said Mr. Lightner.
DEPOSIT GUARANTY
AN ISSUE INJEBRASKA
Lively Tilt Promised Over This
Proposition ,
Lincoln , Neb. , Sept. IS. That the
bankers of Nebraska who are opposed
to the incorporation In the Republi
can platform of a plank favoring a
state law for the guarantee of bank
deposits are getting pretty busy is dis
closed by the fact that here and there
among the list of delegates elected
are bankers.
In addition , several of those elected
as delegates say their mail has been
burdened by a lot of pamphlets con
taining speeches of John Forgan of
Chicago ; Professor Laurence Laugh-
lln , of Rockefeller's university , and
Henry W. Yates , of Omaha , all In op
position to this plan.
Whenever the banks have had any
political pull they Interferred In the
selection of delegates. Here Is Lin
coln they had picked on I , M. Raymond
mend , a bank director for the place.
but he was tossed on the dump when
the farmer members of the committee
caught on to the Inwardness of the
scheme. Th6 objection to Raymond
that defeated him was that the banks
were attempting to secure his selec
tion In order that he might go as a
i delegate representing that special in-
i terest , nnd not with open mind to act
as the best Interests of either the
' party or the people. Senator Brown
I Is leading the fight for the Insertion
1 of a bank guaranty plank , and the
! present prospects arc that a very
lively contest will be pulled off over
this.

DRY WEAKER"
ISJNIVERSAL.
Vermont Mills Have Practically
Stopped
Northern Nebraska and southern
South Dakota have more to be tlmnk-
ul than many people reall/e. Kw
iortH received from al parts of thtv
country Indicate that extremely dry
weather has had serious effect Ina
uany places , while the crops of thins
oglon are smiling serenely and un-
mrt through It all.
A letter from Vermont , received \vy \
Norfolk man , says that the factories *
nnd mills of that state , run by wntxsrr
) ewer , have been compelled to alf-
nest shut , down , on account of dry
veather. The streams contain scarcer
y any water. In some places one
actory will run two bourtr , then an
other , nnd so on , In order to glvo
3ach mill a chance nt the water
lower.
A man who has just arrived In Nor -
oik from Illinois declares that tilts
corn crop of northern Nebraska IBS
nuch fuller than In either Illinois 01-
owa.
The dust Is said to bo much thicker
n Illinois , also , than here , and the ;
mature- grass there IB dead. . -t \
SOUTH DAKOTA THRESHING.
Work.Is Being Pushed In All Parts of
the State.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Sept. 21. Special
o The News : The work of threshing ;
lie small grain crop raised in the-
state this season is being pushed itv.
all parts of the state. The wcathei"
las been very favorable for threshing :
operations , there having been but few
rainy days thus far this fall. It Is-
estimated that fully sixty per cunt ol '
: he small grain crop of the state has
been threshed. Owing to wet weather
luring the fall last year's crop was not :
threshed until well Into the winter-
Tf the weather averages as favorable ?
luring the next few weks as during ;
the fall thus far , the work of thresh
ing will be completed In the state Im
general before the month of October
Is very far advanced.
Excessively hot weather during thcj
past two or three weeks , and the ab
sence of rains , has injured late corn ,
to some extent , but has ripened the ;
early-sown , which now has fully ma
tured. If killing frost holds off for a.i
few days longer practically every
of con ] In South Dakota will no
from injury. All the corn In a con
siderable part of the state , particularly -
ly the southern section , now lias ma
tured.
Rain is badly needed to place this
ground In condition for fall plowing :
and fo Improve the pasturage.
Grain is being hurried to market lr
all parts of the state and the elevator
men and the railroads are in numer
ous instances having a hard time keep
ing the elevators from becoming con
gested with grain. At a few points :
temporary shortages of cars has com
pelled elevators to temporarily stop *
purchasing grain , but as yet there has :
been no serious car shortage any
where in the state.
The railroad companies are doing :
everything within their power to fur
nish empty cars as fast as required and'
thus keep the grain moving. If they
can continue to stand the strain of the ,
next few weeks there will be no-
serious shortage of cars In South Da
kota this season.
