blom, Gregory county lad of about
thirteen or fourteen years, who lives
on his fathers farm southwest of Fair
fax, has developed a remarkable tai
ent for sculpture S. A. Severson is
the possessor of the boys first at
tempt in this line. 1t is a head of
Tennyson modelled in clay and all the

piece Of sculpture, and we believe that

Creighton News: Mr. and Mrs. Ed
gar Bramon returned Wednesday from
Pine Bluff, Ark, bringing the remains
Of their little two-year-old child. Just

left with Mr.. and Mrs. G.. B. McElhose

neral services were held at the Enter

s o'clock on the morning that he was
found. He was seen at the Thirteenth
street crossing by Rasmus Nelson,
who lives near there Mr. Nelson
says that at about s he saw a man
coming east from out in the country
The man at first was wandering around
off the track but on the right of way.
Later he took the track and walked
on down toward the Junction, probably
| turning north on the Y. Miss John
son, of this city, who teaches the
Krantz district school west of town,
in walking out to her school early that
| morning came upon bloody cap and
two large spots of blood on the rail
road track, where Jcter had evidently

Randolph Times: The Whitney di-
vorce case tried in Holt county recent
ly, and now before the supreme court,
is attracting attention in Nebraska.
Reports of the filing of the brief of
G. w. Wiltse of this city have ap-
peared in the Omaha and Lincoln pa
pers. Nellie Whitney secured a di-
vorce and $6,50O alimony from George
d. Whitney in Holt county after her
case was dismissed in Cedar county.
The most unique ground of her petit
ton alleges that she did not have suit
able clothing to appear in society and
was therefore deprived of the joys
and triumphs of a social career. The
defendant introduced evidence to show
that his wife had the custody of the
family pocket book and the income
from lands to the extent of $3.50 a
year. with house and water rent, and
some other expenses paid. Another
point on which defendant places hope
of victory in the supreme court is that
his wife, on advice of her attorney,
Mike Harrington, moved to O'Neill
and in three days, or before gaining
a legal residence, began divorce pro-
ceedings in Holt county. The case
has been stubbornly fought.
