The case of Kenneth Beasley, the
eight-year-old son of Senator Beas-
ley, of Poplar Branch, Currituck
County, is distressing in the extreme.
He suddenly disappeared about three
weeks ago, and all efforts made to
find him, or obtain even a clue to
his whereabouts. have proved futile.
Various theories have been advanced.
Perhaps the most plausible one is
that the little fellow broke through
the ice and was drowned. The case
is narrowing in the extreme, and
the sympathies of the whole State
are extended to the suffering father
and MISUNDERSTANDING.

TECUMSEH, Neb., Dec. 11.-(Special.)-
Bright and early this morning the Nebraska
Telephone company set gang of men to
work digging holes for line of poles just
at the curb ON the north side of the court

to most citizens. particularly to the men,
