A foolish practice INDUCED in
by many business men when
going to bank to deposit money
is to carry the p SIS book in their
hand with the bills hanging out
at the ends. Oftentimes they
stop on the street to talk with
someone and invariably, in such
event, fold their hands behind
them, so that anyone passing
could easily slip the bills from
the book without pausing. This
very thing happened IN neigh
boring city few days ago and it
will occur here in Broken Bow if
some of the bank depositors do
not discontinue making a dis
play of their rolls while enroute
to the bank.
Rev. w. d. Hall and Mr.. Ed
Taylor encountered an accident
of no small dimensions last Sun
day while driving from Sargent
to this city. The pin came out
of the double-tree which dropped
on the horses heels and frighten-
ing them into a runaway. Mr..
Taylor, who was drivin g, was
pulled from the buggy by the
lines and struck the ground on
his head which rendered him un-
conscious for several minutes.
The team ran about half mile
and one of the horses became
tangled in barb wire fence, an
ugly cash being cut in its breast
besides a number of smaller cuts.
