Hamilton County
Wheat Tests High
Aurora, Neb., July 7. Farmers
who have tested the quality of the
wheat that is now being harvested
say they have never seen better. The
berry of the wheat is large and
Y plump. Some farmers are insisting
that their yield will be the best for
years. Little hail fell in this county
and the entire crop will be saved un
less storms appear within a few days.
Nearly every farmer in the county is
cutting his wheat today. Corn is not
laid by, but they have assailed the
wheat fields in force.
Johnson County
Man is Held on a
f: - Forgery Charge
Tecumseh, Neb.', July's. (Special.)
George F. Dorsch, at one fime a
farmer in the northern part of this
county, later in the drug business at
Sterling, and recently of Denver,
must face a charge of forgery in the
district court of Johnson county. At
a time Mr. Dorsch was in business
his brother, J. Henry Dorsch, a
farmer here, went onto a note with
him at the Citizens' National bank of
Tecumseh. It seems the note was
renewed several times. At the last
time of renewal J. Henry Dorsch was
out of tlie county, and it is alleged
that George Dorsch placed the broth
er's name on the paper. George
Dorsch claims his brother told him
to "fix the note up.' J. Henry Dorsch
claims not to have had anything to
do with it. Judge Albert J. Cornish
of Lincoln was recently here and
heard the argument for a new trial
in the case of the Citizens' National
bank against J. Henry Dorsch, on
note, this case being the instrumen
tality of the forgery proceedings. The
bank had lost the case and a new
trial was asked for. Judge Cornish
ruled against the bank. General L.
W. Colby of Beatrice was on the
bond of his client, George Dorsch,
in the .forgery case, bur he failed to
appear at this sitting of the Court
and Mr. Dorsch has so far failed to
secure bond, and he is in the county
jail. Judge J. R. Raper informed Mr.
Dorsch last evening that a jury will
be called and his case will be heard
some time this month.
Telephone Company
Loses Tax Appeal
TeAmseh, Neb., July 8. (Special.)
Judge Raper decided against the
telephone company in the appeal case
of the Lincoln Telephone and Tele
graph company against Johnson coun
ty, Nebraska. The assessor turned
in the property of the telephone com
pany in Johnson county for the 1915
assessment at $172,300, The telephone
company claimed this was excessive
and made a return of $104,000. The
case was taken befor'e the county
board of equalization and the reduc
tion denied. Appeal was then taken
to the district court, and the tele
phone company loses here. The prop
erty was assessed at the same figure
for 1916.
Death Call Has Come Jo
Pioneef Ashland Woman
Ashland, Neb., July 8. (Special.)

months Mrs. Amanda Becker died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. L.

years.
WO-THIRDS of all the

by their makers with cord
tires are going out on
Goodyear Cords. '
That is important; but the rapidly
increasing favor of these tires .among
owners of all cars everywhere is more
significant to you.
For it shows that motorists in general
have found out as the car makers found
out that every good car gains in looks,
in power-saving and gas mileage, in long
life and smooth riding through Goodyear
