at Brandywine Springs park last even

Just returned from an extended trip
though Kansas and Missouri is pleased
with the Nebraska corr crop. THE Ne

much better than Kansas crop. In
Missouri there are many fields which

Kansas the growth Is not as strong as
in Nebraska. There is a section OF

Red Oak. Ia. which will come up to
any of the Nebraska fields. but aside

have gone, there seem to be no let up
to travel west. A set piece of scenery
made for a special occasion don't car
ry with It the beauty and grandeur that

granted the privileges Of the worlds
fair and the gates were thrown open

A drill by the newsboys followed in
which the Boston boys, one hundred
strong, in natty white sailor uniforms,

FIRED ACCIDENTALLY
A IG-Year-Old Fremont Boy vhinks He
Fired Fatal Shot.

A ~16-Year-Old Fremont BOY vkinks He
Fired Fatal Shot.
Frank Rhodes, the man shot through
the back on the Engburg place at FIRE.
mont died at 2 o'clock. He failed rap
idly from the time he was found till
death. Death was caused by the shock
and loss of blood.
Arthur Canaga, a sixteen year-oid
boy who works at Vasholz's meat
market, went to the sheriff's office and
in a broken voice and with tears
streaming down his face confessed that
he probably fired the fatal shot. The
boy said that shortly after two o'clock
he was driving out to Vasholz's
slaughter house with Ed. HERE, an
other boy about the same age, going
on the military road. They had with
them a 44-calibre rife, which was
brought along for the use of the men
at the slaughter house killing beeves.
They stopped their team Just after they
had crossed the side track which leads
to some stock yards and the Canaga
boy took a couple of shots toward the
southeast at a bird sitting on the
fence, without hitting it. Then he
said: II saw'a sign nailed to a post
on the fence at the west side OF the
corn field, and l fired at that. l didn't
hit 1t and that bullet went into the
corn field. ! guess that was the bull
let that struck Rhodes. looked al
the corn field when I aimed at the
sign and | couldn't see anybody" The
boys say 1t was about 2:3O in the af-
ternoon, which make it about the
time Rhodes said he was shot.
The boy was overwhelmed at the ter
rible result of his carelessness and II
was with difficulty between sobs and
tears that he was able in a broken way
to tell his story to the sheriff. He said
he confessed because he thought II
was the right thing to do and he felt
better after telling Mr.. Bauman what
he had done. His employer, p. r.
Vasholz, speaks well of him and his
general reputation is that OF an hon-
est, straightforward boy.
