Forty.fve Men Sat Down at Banquet
Board Prepared In the Pacific Hotel
Last Night, as Closing Feature Of
Celebration.
There is good prospect that the
Modern WOodmen OF America of north
ern Nebraska will hold log rolling
In Norfolk In the next summer or so.
This was the impression gained at the
banquet of the hustlers who organized
the Norfolk district class adoption
meeting, which was held In the Pa
cfic hotel last night. Forty-iive guests
sat down at the table, including hus
tiers and representatives of the Nor
folk Commercial club and business IN
tercsts I'm the persons of John X. Hays
c. H. Burnham and ID. Mathewson
The banquet was success in every
way and continued until midnight.
Supreme Organizer Ralph II. John
son of Lincoln as toastmaster was
most convincing. Responses on the
part of members were highly entertain
ing and instructive. These were: Il
Il. Kester of Lincoln, John II. HUFF
of Norfolk, George Wycoff of Madison
S. ID. Woodley of Lincoln, j. j. Glen
ents of Madison.
In behalf of Norfolk, Mr.. Burnhan
likened the fraternal orders to pyra
mid of electric lights, at the top o.
which rested the Modern Woodmer
of America.
Mr.. Mathewson, as secretary of the
Commercial club, responded to toas
and called attention to the fact tina
State Deputy Kester was a notable
success in inspiring confidence in mer
with whom he talks. And" said Mr.
| Mathewson, while he is going some
now, what will he be fifty years hence
when, added to the escutcheon of sin
certy which his confidence now bears
there shall be long flowing white whis
kers." The speaker found apt illus
tration in story
John r. Hays, in his usual happ!
style, urged upon the members faith
funess in attendance at meetings. H,
illustrated and reinforced his toast b.
stories which, for wit and humor were
beyond compare.

HOLDS FRiNi FOR MURDER
coRoNER's JURY AT PoNcA FIN
lsHEs ITS WORK.
MURDERER is STILL IMPROVING
Little Doubt Remains OF His Com
pIete Recovery From Self inflicted
Wounds-Laree Attendance at the
Funeral OF the Murdered Girl.

Ponca, Neh.. Feb. S.-The coroner's
Jury In the case of the recent tragedy
here returned verdict to the effect
that Miss Bessie Newton came to her
death by n pistol shot from the hands
OF Frank Frink, ito the best of our
knowledge and BELIEF
Many witnesses were heard by the
Jury during the morning session, but
little new light was thrown on the
tragedy. An interesting development
however. was the fact that no one has
been found who saw Frink enter on
leave the Newton home, although
there is not the least doubt that he
killed the girl.
The members of the jury were Pear
Baker, ELI lIeidy, Charles Eyhler
Frank Munson Patrick McCab and w

Frink is still under guard In the of
flee of Or Young, and Is attended by
nurse from Sioux City, His father
who lives about q mile from Ponca
is also assisting In caring for him
Frink Is still quite weak and has mo-
made any statement regarding tn,
shooting. The prospects for his early
recovery from his self inflicted wounds
are still bright,
The funeral of the murdered CIR
was held from the Lutheran church
and the services were attended by {
