NEW GREGORY COUNTY TOWN.
Hampton Soon to be Established by
Hampton Townsite Company.

Fairfax Advertiser: The Chicago &
Northwestern railroad company have
laid out depot grounds on farm
owned by c. A. Johnson eight and
one-half miles west of Bonesteel. Mr..
Johnson drove out Monday morning
with Engineer Mason Of this place and
his corps Of surveyors, and laid out
the town which will be called Hamp-
ton. The new town Is named for the
assistant general freight agent of the
Northwestern, Alex Hampton, as we'll
as DR.. Kenaston of Bonesteel, whose
firts name is Hampton.
The new town will be promoted by
the Hampton Townsite company, c. A.
Johnson of Fairfax and w. A. Lach
and II, r. Kenaston Of Bonesteel, be-
ing members of the company. They
will hold town lot sale early in Aug
ust and will endeavor to get the best
class of business men interested in the
new town Hampton certainly has
many natural advantages, being cen,
trally located in the county and has
a good supply of soft water at a depth
or 20 feet. The town will have good
territory and good roads east, west
north and south, and will be the rail
road point for the rich Naper country
and all of western Boyd county.
Two elevators, a bank and three lum.
Der yards have already spoken for 10
cations.
Mr.. Johnson, when seen by an Ad
vertiser reporter, said that while he
had been interested in the building OF
quite number of towns, he was never
quite so enthusiastic as in this case
as the town givs promise of being a
hummer from the very start. The
Hampton Townsite company is com,
posed of men of push and energy and
we predict a bright future for the new
Gregory county town

to Norfolk in 1899 with her parents
and has made her home here ever
since. Miss Ryel was a member of
the Norfolk high school, and was very
popular with her friends.
The remains have been taken to
Grand Junction, Iowa, for burial
Those present from out of town

souri, Valley, Mrs. Engle, Miss May

ter of Valley Junction, Iowa; and Mrs.

Notes.

Bridge whist in Norfolk seems to
have stepped into the shoes of sixhand
euchre and, to large extent, five hun
dred Bridge has proved a popular
diversion among Norfolk ladies during
the past few weeks, where 1t was un-
played before. 1t went the rounds
among Norfolk men year or so ago,
but has been abandoned by them for
different games since.
Driving has been a popular pastime
during the week among those who
own horses. 1t is probable that the
interest in horses and in driving will
increase from now on through the sum-
mer, and the series of race meetings
to be held here and in neighboring
towns this summer will cap the eli.
max.
A tented city, with various attrac.
tions in the musical and vaudeville
line, will attract interest in Norfolk
next week. This will be "Parker's
White City" which comes to Norfolk
under the firemen's auspices. The
show is pronounced as first class and
will no doubt enjoy large patronage
in Norfolk. AS there is nothing else
TO furnish excitement, there is no rea
son why the tents should not be crowd
ed every day.

DOROTHY RUDAT WINS $40
LITTLE NORFOLK GIRL GETS RE.
BUS PRIZE.
HER ANSWERS WERE NEArEsT

The Judges, George D. Butterfleld, w.
A. Witzisman and C.. E. Burnham,
Unanimously Selected Miss Rudat's
Answers as the Winners.
Miss Dorothy Rudat won the $40
offered for the neatest and most at.
tractive answers to the rebus contest
Of The News which closed on Satur-
day. The three judges, w. A. Witzig.
man, c. Il. Burnham and George D.
Butterfeld, all prominent Norfolk
bankers, voted unanimously in favor
of the answers of Miss Rudat and a
check has been sent to her as her
prize.
Following is the correct list of an
swers:
Toxic, Como, Heidelburg, Troy, Har-
riet, Plymouth, Columbus, Hennepin,
Elkton, Hawthorne, Chicago, Wash
ington, Richmond, Nicollet, Franklin.
Miss Rudat's answers were complete

Mrs. Rudat, and is a Norfolk school
girl.
Many neat and attractive answers
were received, and the contest was a
difficult one to decide. Many replies
came in typewriter form, some in
poetry, and there were many other
styles of answers that appealed to the
judges.
The individual merchants prizes
will be determined by the merchants
as they see fit.
Many answers came from out of
town.

FATAL SUNDAY FISHING
GEORGE MACkEY, TILDEN DRAY.
MAN, DROWNED.
FOUR COMPANIONS WERE FISHING
Were Wadng in a Slough, When
Mackey Sank in Deep Water Before
the Eyes Of His Companions. Who
Were Powerless to Assist Him.


Tilden, Neb., July 16-Special to
The News: George Mackey, a dray-
man of this place, was drowned early
Sunday morning. He, with Sam Bots
ford, Harry Ives and Banks Mills,
started at daylight to spend the fore
noon fishing northeast of town. Three
of the party attempted to wade across
Terry's slough but, finding the water
deep, turned about and sought a shall
lower place. Mackey, who was very
tall and of powerful build, kept on his
way and soon went under. He reap
face, but showed no sign of fear or
distress. His companions called to
him to turn back, to which Mackey re-
