A WOlfin u Culvert.

E. B. Ovelman's dog Zip" was re,
sponsible for considerable excitement
yesterday afternoon and evening. He
came to stand yesterday afternoon at a
culvert near the Widaman residence on
North First street, his actions clearly
indicating that he had found "game. "
His find was investigated and sure as
shootin there was game-a large and
ferocious wolf with fiery eyes had taken
refuge in the culvert. The report spread
quickly and it was not long before a
gang of men and boys had assembled
with the intention Of capturing the ami
NAL on whose scalp large and juicy
bounty of 81 is offered by the county.
The plans for getting him out were
many and devious. Some suggested
sending dogs in and the effort was made
but they refused to do their masters
bidding, being apparently in mortal ter
TOR of the Gagged brute.
Chief Widaman himself entered into
the spirit of the occasion and fired shot
in hoping to frighten the beast out, but
he refused to bulge.
Some bright mind suggested drown
ing the brute out and it Immediately oc-
Cured to another that a stream from a
fire hose would be the proper caper, but
Chief Winter entered demurrer and the
scheme was not put into execution.
Another suggestion was that he be
smoked out and fire was built with
this intention, but its effects proved un-
ayailing and the wolf still held the stu
alton.
The effort to dislodge the beast was
abandoned late last night. but this morn
ing renewed endeavors were made to
rout him.
J. w. Edwards finally became dis
gusted with the futile work and secur-
ing a rod with crook in it proceeded to
drag the monster out by main force.
His successful effort disclosed what
many declared was a common cur pup,
but is said that Mr., Ovelman persistently
adheres to his original contention that
il is wolf aud insists that the scalp and
pen are his as the original finder.
Some insist that he should know, claim.

A FABLE.

story With IA Political Moral About the
Man who Didn't Know Good Thing.
A ragged and weary Tramp strolled
into town one day and was met on the
street corner By the Philanthropic Citi-
zen who said
Here, my friend is dollar. Go and
buy you something to eat.
To his surprise the Tramp turned and
ran, yelling, He will kill me tie
will kill me g.
His wild fight was stopped by an
other man to whom he said: THAT
man back there offered me dollar and
know he wants to kill me"
The other man said, "You go back
He won't hurt you. He wants to do
you good"
The Tramp was finally persuaded and
returned and got the dollar, and had
several good warm meals and some
liquor.
A day or two afterward he again met
the Philanthropic Citizen who offered
him work at good wages, but the Tramp
again cried, "You want to kill me ="
and ran away.
He was induced by friend to return
and accept the job, which he did and got
good wages, with which he supplied
himself with food and clothes and pro.
vided his family the necessities of life
The Tramp was living contented and
happy until an Agitator, coming his way
said his employer wanted to kill him
and again his great fear was aroused,
The agitator said, "You ruin his busi.
ness and happiness shall be yours
But" said the tramp, THAT will
throw me ont of job and my family
will starve."
Never mind your family" said the
Agitator, ruin his business or take
the dire consequences which / have
recited.
So the Tramp started in to ruin the
Philanthropic Citizen Is business and was
only prevented from doing so by large
number of sensible townspeople who
saw what he was up to and who dealt
severely with the Tramp, knowing what
the Philanthropic Citizen had done for
his welfare.
Anyone having small allotment OF
sense can realize that the above is a
story-a fable if you will. No person
could be 80 foolish as TO distrust a man
seeking only to do him good and proving
his worthy intentions by unmistakable
acts of kindness.
But it has moral point-a political
meaning. Men who were afraid that
they would be in want and their families
starving under the Mckinley admins.
tration have since discovered their mis-.
take and are convinced that they were
wrong. but some have heard the voice of
Agitator Bryan reciting the dire conse-
vuences of imperialism" and the
trusts" and "militarism" and other
bogys until they are ready to destroy
their prosperous condition and denounce
in bitter terms the administration under
which they have been benefited. Il seems
impossible to demonstrate to them that
they are well Of and had better leave
well enough alone.

A ASENSAT|ON AL RUMOR
Pierce Man Said to Have Shot
His Son.
STORY PROBABLY EXAGGERATED.

Another Report says He but Shot at the
Boy-Pnrties to the AFFAIR are Distant
Relatives to &. II. Krahn-A Wolf Hunt
In the Heart OF the city.
A report reached here from Pierce
yesterday to the effect that William
Krueger, farmer living northeast of
that place, had shot his l5.year- old son
twice, killing him instantly, and that it
was attributed to insanity on the part
Of the father
The story was to the effect that the
boy had quarrelled with his father and
had then run away from home against
his fathers wishes but recently
returned and his father became so en-.
ragged at him that the shooting followed
The krueger's are distantly related to
G. II. krahn of this city and when the
report reached him he at once telephoned
to Pierce on hopes of obtaining particu,
lars of the affair. His informant was
not positively informed but was of
the opinion that Kruger had not killed
his son but had shot at him couple of
times.
1t was likewise reported that neigh.
Dor who undertook to interfere was also
shot at by Kruger.
Detailed information concerning the
affair is not obtainable but it is probable
that the report telephoned Mr.. Krahn
is about correct.

Omaha and reports an arrangement that
means much to him as well as Norfolk
While there he secured the position of
poultry agent for Northeast Nebraska
and other territory for the Armour
Packing company and is to make his
headquarters in Norfolk. He was given
letters of credit for an almost unlimited
amount and will begin operations at
once at his old stand near Dudley's barn.
The poultry will be handled by coops
and cars and he expects to practically
control the market as Armours insist on
weight fair alike to themselves and
customers. To follow all this Mr. Hem
leben sees the opportunity of starting
branch house here for the company.
They have already established such
houses at Lincoln and Dewitt and are
most favorably impressed with Norfolk.
If they conclude to establish branch
house here Mr.. Hemlebin believes it will
mean the investment of S25,0O0 or
$50, 900 in Norfolk.
