; Lincoln, Nov. 25. (Special.) The
members of the Nebraska jive stock
judging team of the university farm
left last night for Chicago, where
they will attend the International Live

who own the bunch -of noble
Percherons which took the big pre
miums at both the Iowa and Nebraska
state fairs, will be there with the ten
big animals which attracted so much
attention at both fairs and Nebraska

no reasons to be ashamed of the Ne

with those of other states.

medals and one lilver trophy offered
by the Percheron society of America,
besides the premiums taken at the
two state fairs.
Supposed Tallow
Barrels Held Water;
. Draft Not Cashed
Yankton, S. D Nov. 25. (Special.)
About a month ago a new hide and
metal purchasing house opened here
under the name of A. Clark & Co. Of
fices were opened and bank connec
tions established. One day the new
business man sold sixty-seven barrels
of tallow to the representative of an
eastern house. It was a puzzle where
he got so much tallow in this place,
but he sold the goods and got a New
York draft for $2,160. Because he in
sisted upon cash, instead of depositing
the draft, as usual, the bank got sus
picious and refused to cash the draft.
Clark disappeared, tried to cash the
check in Chicago, where it was taken
up, and all but three of the barrels
here, upon inspection, were found to
contain water. No one here lost any
thing, as Clark was careful to meet all
local obligations promptly by checks,
which were good at his bank. Clark is
out his expenses while here, and can
not be found. ,
