j. G. Hansen, who was taking
treatment at Coltax, does not seem
to be gaining as he should. He is
now seeking relief in the hospital
and sanitarium of DR.. Emmert at
Atlantic.
The primary room of the Elk
Horn Public School remained in
session the past week to make up
week of vacation given while Miss
Petersen, the teacher, was attending
her sisters wedding.
Peter Wiuff and Nels Bennedsen
have takan the contract to build the
new cement sidewalks in Elk Horn
and work was begun this week. A
grade will be established and the
walks built accordingly.
Thor Madsen bas discovered fine
hill of sand on his farm east OF Elk
Horn. 1t is of fine grade and seems
to be there in great abundance.
There is some little talk of putting
a cement factory upon the location.
Nissen u Jensen shipped two car
loads of hogs from Brayton to Omaha,
Monday. Tuesday they sold a car
load of fine western fat steers to
Tick McGovern, of Brayton and
Wednesday they shipped carload
of cattle from Marine. That's bust
ness, we guess.
The boat-you know which one
acted very impolite upon its first in
PRODUCTION to the water. 1t appears
it's load was not squarely over the
center of mass and the result was it
spilled the occupant right out in the
water and as swimming was out of
the question, he had to float out.
Later reports say it has tanned down
and is acting more decent.
Mikaiel Jensen, Holger Christen.
sen and Sine Damsgaard arrived from
!, Denmark, Saturday, and are now at
the home of G. w. Christensen sou th.
east of Elk Horp. Mr.. Jensen will
work for Lars Petersen on the ridge
this season, assisting him in his car
penter business. The other two
have not yet found positions but
will probably remain in the vicinity
of Elk Horn.

While Willie Boysen, who works
for j. C.. Hansen, was coming to

painful accident. He was horse
