Judge Humphrey was called out

that he could make two souls
happy with but little effort and
the ever accommodating judge did
so by going to the court house,
issuing a license and uniting

h. h. Leach of Westerville was
a city visitor yesterday. He

ture. Mr.. Moody is one of the
old teachers in Custer county,

Edward Hoag, residing 3T
miles north of Merna was in the
city yesterday and informed the
REPUBLICAN that the hail storm
last Thursday afternoon only
partially damaged his crops, but
that some of his neighbors were
in the thickest of it and suffered
a total loss, among them: Will
Kellenbenberger, Reeve Robin
son, the Brock brothers, Harvey
and Oakley Robinson.
On Monday the three alleged
Galloway burglars, who are in
Jail awaiting trial in the District
court, were brought up to be
shaved and an effort was made
to secure photos of them, which
was only partially successful.
Frank Taylor, the photographer,
Was stationed at the Chief Office
and as two of them were brought
by-separately-h snapped then.
Then came Thomas Wade in
charge of Deputy Towsley and
his phiz was also taken, but he
heard the click, saw what had
been done and, breaking away
from Towsley made run for the
photographer who lost no time
in finding a place of safety.
Ward, however, secured the
camera before he could be secured
and completely demolished it,
thereby destroying photo which
the police of Omaha and several
other cities are very anxious to
secure.
The matter of the custodo of
the Eaton children, aged s, 7
and e years was heard by Judge
Humphrey yesterday. 1t APP
peared that Harvey Eaton. the
father, had left them last winter
with his sister, Martha Powers
at Berwyn, and that she had
abused and maltreated them in
a shameful manner and that she
would probably have tortured
them to death but for the in
tervention of citizens. The court
held, after hearing evidence, that
Eaton had failed to provide for
them and that the Powers woman
had not only grossly and cruelty
mistreated, but that she is unfit
to longer have care of them;
that by reason of the deprayity
of Eaton and Mrs. Powers they
were disqualified by statute as
guardians and Mr.. and Mrs. d.
D. Shepardson, of Pender, Neb.,
parents of the children's mother,
were given the custody of them.
