D. 0. KAVANAUGH
Last week a case was filed in district
court, entitled Edward Nicodemua tb.
Edward and Ida Hugill, praying that
there be a full, fair and public investiga
tion made of the charges against him.
Nicodemus is the father of five children,
and since his wife died eight years ago,
has been compelled to take care ofthem
Las best he could. Ida Hugill is his sis
ter, and about one year ago bis daughter
Nellie went to live with the Hugills, and
they wished to adopt her. The father
claims she did not receive the proper
treatment at the Hugill home and he
took her away from them, and kept her
with the other children. The Hugill's,
he claims, in order to get even for
his taking the girl away, made false
statements about him, to the effect that
he had been criminally inimate with his
sixteen year old daughter, and also the
younger ones, and that when the daugh
ter went out to work they pointed out
this fact to make their stories appear
true. Nicodemus claims that he could
not recover damages, and he asks a full
investigation of the charges. The sec
ond chapter of the story was when his
sixteenth year old daughter Verna filed
a complaint against her father, charging
him with incest, and Nicodemus had bis
hearing last Thursday morning before
Police Judge O'Brien, and all parties, ex
cept those interested in the case, and the
testimony of the girl was such that the
judge bound her father over to the Nov
ember term of district court, fixing the
bond at $5,000. which Nicodemus was
unable to furnish, and he will be con
fined in the county jail until that time.
Just before the Norfolk passenger
train stopped at Humphrey last Saturday
evening a man named Touby step
ped in front of the engine and was knock
ed down and the engine passed over both
of his feet, cutting the right one into
between the -toes and the ankle, aud
crushing the toes on the left foot. He
was at'once taken to the company phy
sician and his wounds attended to, and
Sunday be was brought to St. Mary's
hospital, and after an examination it
was found necessary to amputate a por
tion of the right foot. Just how the
accident happened no one seems to know,
as the first thing Engineer Jack Dolan
saw of him was when he stepped in front
of the engine, and the man himself says
he does cot know how it happened, but
probably under the influence of liquor.
Tonhy has a sister in Minneapolis and a
brothRTwhd:isH train'dispatclrrrbn the
Great Northern out west, and they were
notified of his accident. The injured
man died at the hospital Wednesday
morning from the effects of his injuries,
blood poisoning having set in, and biB
body is being held pending instructions
from his relatives.
Last Friday evening between forty and
fifty citizens attended the meeting of
the city council to present their griev
ances regarding the prices charged for
electric light. Among those who ad
dressed the council were L. W. Snow, O.
Friscbholz, August Boettcher, R. S.
Dickinson, L. W. Weaver, A. R. Miller
and J. D. Stires. This matter has been
in the hands of the committee ever since
the petition which Mr. Dickinson circu
lated, was presented to the council, and
they have been looking into the matter
thoroughly. A short time ago the light
company mailed cards to their custo
mers, showing what their demand is and
the committee are now taking .these as a
basis to work from, comparing them
with the ordinance establishing the
rates. The electric light question is one
that will cot down, and the sooner the
company and their patrons understand
each other in the matter of rates, the
better it will be for both. When the
council committee make their report, it
will cover the ground thoroughly and go
a long way toward settling the dispute
now on.
A small wreck in the Union Pacific
yards about five o'clock Tuesday morn
ing came very nearly resulting in the
death of one man. When the new de
pot was started, the contractors built a
temporary lime house just across Olive
street, and of late it has been used for a
tool house. . A negro employe has been
sleeping there to look after the contents
of the building, and it was he who came
very nearly being killed in the wreck.
The lime house stood at the end of two
stub tracks which are used to store cars
ou when the trains are being made up,
the switching crew were pushing a string
down on one of these tracks, and did not
realize how far they were pushing them.
One of the cars was crowded clear
through the lime house, demolishing the
structure and missing the cot occupied
by the negro by a few inches. When the
man realized what the trouble was he
got out of the place as soon as possible
and soon discovered that his injuries
consisted of a few scratches. But it
was a narrow escape, nevertheless.
Sunday a party of young people, which
included the Misses Clara Bloedorn,
Bessie Kolarik, Mamie Schroeder, Hat
tie King, Emma Hoppen, Sophie Moer
sen and Hazel From and Messrs. Oarl
Scofield, Ed Graff, Walter Luers, Pat
Malqne, Lew Buerse, Horatio Adams and
Andrew Kinder drove to the home of
Peter Schmitt on Shell creek, where
they spent the day in boating, fishing
bathing and other amusements that con
tribute toward making a picnic a success.
Their host, Mr. Schmitt, endeavored to
make the day as pleasant as possible for
Ithe picknickers, and they fully appre
ciated his kindness.

Monday. September 6, besides being
Labor day, iH be Rural Letter Carriers'
day for Columbus, that being the date
their annual state convention will be
held in this city this year. Arrange
ments for almost two hundred carriers
are being made, and the local committee
feels confident tbat.this number will be
present The meetings will be held in
the Y. M. C. A. building, end the local
carriers are bending energies toward
providing suitable entertainment for the
visiting delegates. Nearly every county
in the state with rural routes will be
represented, and the Commercial club
and citizens of Columhus will assist in
making their stay here a pleasant one.
Besides the routine work of the conven
tion a program has been arranged for.
their entertainment. Addresses will be
made by the mayor, president of the
Commercial club and the postmaster,
and the po9toffice department at Wash
ington will also have a representative
present.' United States Senators, Norris
Brown and Elmer J. Burkett, have
assured the carriers that they will be
present if possible, and are on the pro
gram for addresses.
The manager of the North opera house
has decided to run a short preliminary
season before the regular fall and winter
season begins, playing some of the beet
attractions at popular summer prices and
they have secured as an opening attrac
tion the successful musical comedy,
"The Other Girl," for Thursday August
12, presented by a first class company
of metropolitan favorites headed by
Frank Kelley and Ol'lie Boyne. Other
well known artists who appear in the
cast are Ben J. Krampe,' Mayfield and
Moore, Rose Wentwortb, G. H. Young
and a host of others including the
Other Girl Quartette and the famous
Beauty chorus. In producing "The
Other Girl" this season every detail has
been .carefully attended to and not a
thing has been overlooked that would
add to the beauty and attractiveness of
tuneful play. Hot weather prices will
prevail during this engagement 25-35 and
50c. Seats are now on sale at Pollock's
drug store.
County Clerk Graf now has the new
primary ballots and is distributing them
to the various voting places in the
county. Under the amended primary
law all parties are represented on the
same ticket, the one polling the largest
vote at the last election being accorded
first place which is the democratic
ticket thi9 year. And this ticket is the
only complete one on the primary tiallot
in this county. Nex. is the republican
ticket, and while it has a full comple
ment of candidates for supreme judge
and regents, there is but one man on the
county ticket, W. H. Bobbins for sheriff.
This condition of affaus is not to the
liking of tnt mass of republicans, as it
has a tendency to cause many to either
remain at home or go and assist some
friends who are seeking a democratic
nomination,
Sunday afternoon the second Chautau
qua held in this city opened on the gov
ernment grounds, north of Pollock &
Cos. drug 9lore. The attendance for
the first day was encouraging, and the
talent being presented fully deserves all
the patronage. The Alexander jublee
singers were fine and their work was ap
preciated by the audience, in fact all the
numbers presented were good. While
holding of the cbautauqua in this city is
rather an experiment, the promoters
hope that the attendance this year will
demonstrate that it should be a perman
ent institution. The talent for the re
mainder of tbe chautanqua will be ex
cellent, and the crowning feature of the
season will be Helen May Butler's bsnd,
which will be here the letter part of tbe
week.
Columbus base ball enthuniasts wit
nessed a good game last Sunday, when
the Central City and Grand Island teams
played a hotly contested game on the
home diamond, the score being 5 to 2 in
favor of Central City. This game was
one of a series played by tbe two clubs,
and when Central City won it made a tie
in the number of games eaoh had won.
Next Sund.-iy tbe same teams will play
on the Columbus diamond, the game be
ing called at 2:30. and the tie played off.
A special train from Grand Island will
bring down a good crowd of rooters for
each team, and one of the best games
ever played on tbe home diamond can
be looked for.
"I have .been railroading on the Union
Pacific branches out or Columbus for
quite a number of years." remarked a
railroad man the other day, "and never'
have tbe crop prospects been o flatter-
tering all along tbe lines. Every year
some particular locality has either been
damaged by hail, or there has been too
much water in. other places, or some
thing to injure tbe crops, but thia-.year,
none of tbe unfavorable conditions exist
up to tbe present time, and it will take
more cars to market tbe grain off tbe
branches than ever before."
Messrs. M. D. Karr and W. J. Walter,
representing tbe Commercial club, and
Frank Schram and H. A. Fritz'of the

- A automobile collision is reported from
Belgrade. They are having a camp
meeting up in tbe Nance county town
and automobiles are used to take tbe
people from tbe grounds. Two of these
loaded with people met head on, when
they were running at a high rate of speed
but fortunately there was only one who
was injured, one of the lady passengers
being badly bruised, although her in
juries are not serious. This should be
one of tbe numerous warnings to reckless
auto drivers, as when they put on speed
where there is a chance to collide with
other vehicles or those on foot, they not
only endanger their own lives, but of
others also.
