The three-hundredth meeting of Ger

ebrated by the members of the lodge
last week. The principal feature of
the meeting was a synopsis of the his
tory of the lodge given by the secre-
tary, August Brummund, who is also
a grand trustee and through whose eff
forts Germania lodge was first orga-
nized. "reminiscences of the early
meetings and of picnics, dances and
transactions were INDUCED in by char
ter members and the names of those
members who had passed from earth
were read while members stood up
with heads bowed. Refreshments
were served and a quartet furnished
music.

BOYD COUNTY ROAD CASE
SUIT IN WHICH MANY FARMERS
ARE INTERESTED.
DISPUTE OVER HIGHWAY RIGHT

J. c. Baker Of Council Bluffs Brings
Injunction Procee 'lngs-one Of the
Prominent Cases Before the Next
Norfolk Term of Federal Court.
Prominent among the cases In the
Norfolk district of the federal court
which are being prepared for trial is
the Boyd county road case, in which
j. G. Baker of Council Bluffs, Ia, has
made sixteen Boyd county citizens de-
fendents in an injunction action
against using any part of his Boyd
county farm as a public highway.
The Baker farm consists of 240
acres of land north of Lynch. Baker
claims that his fences have been cut
and teams and cattle driven across
his land. He seeks to have a federal
injunction directed against the defend
ents, among whom he places Boyd
county, to prevent the destruction Of
his fences or the creation of a highway.
In their answer to this suit the Boyd
county citizens have gone into the
federal court in Norfolk, contendlng
that public road across the Baker
farm really exists in point of law. This
highway, leading into Lynch they
claim, was legally established while
the Baker farm was still public land
1t is contended that Baker having only
owned the land for some eight years
cannot claim the roadway by reason
of adverse possession because pre-
sumably adverse possession does not
run against the government. They
maintain, in their answer, that when
the land in question was purchased
from the government the land was
taken subject to the easment for high
way purposes before granted.
Answer to the petition of Baker is
made by H. f. Barnhart of Norfolk,
who appears as an attorney for the de-
tense.
The men against whom Baker asks
an injunction are: Lewis Theissen,
Hugo Theissen Fred Ashby, August
Hinkens, Henry Hortje, George CARR
son, Bud Levi, Barney Smith, James
Pinkiman, George Sinkey, Frank
Graves, Clyde Richey, Guy B. Ira,
Joseph Holden, Charles F. Roe and
James Mullen.

No Surplus Grow Indian Lands.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Nov. 16.-Recent-
ly a movement was inaugurated for
the early opening to white settlement
of the alleged surplus lands embraced
in the Crow Creek reservation, situat.
ed on the Missouri river, in the CEN
trail part of the state. From recent
developments, however, it appears that
there will be no surplus land of de-
sirable character to open to settle
ment. Allotting Agent Diets, who has
charge of the work of allotting lands
to the Indians on the Crow Creek res
ervation, states that it will take him
about eight months to complete the
work. AS he has about $50 Indians
to provide for it is estimated that this
will consume practically all the land
of any value in the reservation.

Judge JACKSON RESENTED
Now Daniel Burr Would Have Him
Punished.

Neigh, Neb., Nov. 16.-Special to
The News: The city marshal of Ne
ligh has a warrant in his possession
for the arrest of Hon. N. D. Jackson
for the violation of ordinance No "a,
which alludes to fighting and disorder
ly conduct. Mr.. Jackson has been out
IF town for the past few days, conse-
quently the warrant has not been
served.
The plaintiff in the case is Daniel
Burr, who says Mr.. Jackson did him
injury on the streets Of this city Thurs
day morning and wishes him to be
fined according to the law and ordi-
nance.
Trouble started on Wednesday dur
ing the session of court in the trial Of
the appeal case, "In the matter of the
estate of Nathaniel Burr, deceased"
in which Burr is interested and Mr..
Jackson Is employed as an attorney.
1t appears that the plaintiff became
insulting during the progress OF the
trial, and cast insinuations of an I'M
called for nature toward the attorney.
When an apology was demanded the
next morning, Burr absolutely refused,
and Mr.. Jackson proceeded to admin
lister TO the gentleman a couple Of up
percuts," which were gracefully taken
by the opponent.
The case no doubt will come up
before Police Judge McAllister some
time today.

WOMAN ROUTES INDIANS
PREVENTS RED THIEVES FROM
STEALING HUSBANDS GRAIN.
INDIAN THREATENS WITH KNIFE
Farmers Wife Living Near Orient, s.
D., Arms Herself With a Whip and
Disregards Threats Of Indian and

Succeeds In Driving Them Away.
Orient, s. D., Nov. 16.-Mrs. G. G.
Matter, who resides on a farm in the
outskirts of Orient, had an interesting
adventure with an Indian, but with
the pluck of the average woman of the
frontier was able to bluff him out"
While the men were away Mrs. Matter
of his family engaged in picking up
wheat from the ground in the vicinity
of the straw piles where threshers had
been at work.
The Indians had gathered nearly a
sackful of the grain when Mrs. Matter
discovered them. AS grain is worth
money this year she did not propose
that her husband should be robbed.
Approaching the Indian and the mem
bers of his family she commanded the
Indian to dump the grain on the
ground.
"You dump" replied the redskin in
broken English. AS he said this he
drew a huge knife from it's place of
concealment and commenced to whet
the keen blade as If about to attack
and scalp the farmers wife.
But Mrs. Matter could not be bluffed
easily. In her hand she had heavy
driving whip. Raising the whip in a
threatening manner she advanced
upon the Indian warrior and told him
he had better "get" as the threshers
would soon be coming and they would
fix him"
The Indian understood what the
white woman said, and rather than
face the threshers he and the mem
bers of his family hurried away.

THE WRONG BARN.
Horsethieves Detected at Farm Of John
Zohner by Ingenious Device.

Horsethieves Detected at Farm Of John
Zohner by Ingenious Device.
Battle Creek Enterprise: For once
the horsethief didn't get away with
the trick. One of these thrifty mem
bers of Nebraska society, accompanied
by pal" attempted to steal horse
one night last week from the barn of
John Zohner, who lives few miles
west Of Battle Creek. But the ingenu-
ity of the farmer foiled him
Mr.. Zohner has a reputation for
owning good horses. He is proud of
them, and has suffered as much anx.
iety because Of the recent thefts as
any man in the county. Not deeming
it practicable to sit up all night and
watch, he devised a scheme whereby
he could be given warning in case any
one tried to break into his barn. A
fine wire, artfully concealed, was run
from the latch of the barn door to the
dinner bell, which is near the house.
On the night in question, when the
thieves thought they were about to
have easy work there broke upon the
midnight stiffness a loud changing
from the hired mans favorite musical
instrument. Mr.. Zohner rushed from
the house to see two men beating a
hasty retreat from the barnyard. He
was unable to halt them, but had the
satisfaction of knowing that his cher
ished horses were safe.

Term One Week From Next Tues
day-Has Drafted a New Bill.
Congressman ]. F. Boyd of the Third
district of Nebraska will leave a week
from next Tuesday, Nov. 26, for Wash
ington to begin his first term as repre-
sentative in the national legislature.
With him he will take to Washington
bill that he has already framed pro-
viding for government guarantee to
depositors in national banks, insuring
all national bank depositors that, no
matter what happens, their deposits
will be safe.
The bill as drafted contemplates
that when a national bank fails the
government shall appoint a receiver
as now and the depositors will imme-
diately thereafter, or within ninety
days, file claims with the treasury de-
partment as to the amount of deposit
This claim, approved by the receiver,
will be paid in full by the government
so that the depositor in a very short
time will realize 100 percent on his
deposits. The treasury department, to
reimburse itself for this loss, would
then, under the provisions of the bill,
levy an assessment against the depos-
its of all national banks Under the
business transacted during the year
preceding September 80, this levy
upon solvent national banks would
have amounted to One-fOrtieth of one
percent of deposits.
In this way, each bank would prac-
tically be protected by mutual bank
insurance, with the government hand
ling the matter. Congressman Boyd
thinks such a plan would increase
bank deposits twenty-five percent.
Judge Boyd will make his headquar-
ters at the Dewey hotel in Washing
ton.

word was received that the ducks
were headed south, but the word did
not come.
The general supposition is that the
cold spell came with such a rush that
the ducks did not hesitate in their
flight but made the long journey in
a rush that afforded no opportunity
to the north Nebraska hunter.
The duck can cover from sixty to
eighty miles an hour.
