THINGS DOING At PIERCE
SATURDAY THE BUSIEST DAY IN
HISTORY OF COURT HOUSE.
THE COURT DREW FULL HOUSE

Foster Saloon License, Insanity
Board Has a PitiabIe Case, Insur-
ance Men WraneIe, and Other Things
Pierce, Neb., Jan. 21.-Special to
The News: Last Saturday was the
busiest day in the history of the Pierce
county court house as simultaneously
every one got busy and the Offices and
corridors thronged with people.
In the county court was being tried
petit larceny case wherein William
Arthur Strong was declared innocent
of stealing pair of shoes and over
coat from John Reimers. There has
been friction in their neighborhood for
some time and the case drew full
house.
At the same time the county com.
missioners were hearing the finish in
the Foster saloon case which was con-
cluded and the applicant refused H.
cense on the grounds of not having
the required number of signers, as
twenty-five were necessary and only
twenty-three on the petition as found
by the board.
The insanity board was also called
into action to determine the residence
of Mrs. Mary Ramsey, who was de-
clared insane by the authorities OF
Lincoln county, South Dakota, and
brought to Pierce by the sheriff from
Canton, who claimed that Mrs. Ram
sey was a charge on Pierce county
This is a most pitiable case, as the
patient is fifty-three years old and re
ports strongly indicate she has been
a person of some means, but being
mentally weak, though not insane, hel
near relatives have fleeced her Of hel
means of support and now leave hel
in feeble condition to strangers anC
the mercies of charitable state insti
buttons.
While all the foregoing matters
were going on there were representa-
tives of various insurance companie!
from Chicago, Omaha and other point!

the district court with representatives
of the Henkin Mercantile company
Sioux City, jangling over the $4,000

Thomas F. Riley one of the board of
governors of the A. A. L. on the Am

the Olympic championships to be held
the b. A. A. Marathon run on April
20 should serve as the try-out for that
event on the English program He has
suggested that to the other members
of the committee.
OF course the committee will not de-
eide to have the trial as part and par
Gel OF the B. A. A. Marathon run with
out the consent and cooperation of
the 3. A. A. Judging by it's past good
work in athletics the B. A. A. will
readily consent.
If such be the fact there will be
national significance to the big road
race from Ashland to Boston on Mon
day, April 20. Already the entry of
Louis Marks, winner of the Illinois A.
c. Marathon early last summer, has
been received.
Tom Hicks, who is now in the middle

at least one entry from the far North
west. A. ]. Burn, who is now in Mani

now are that there will be at least a
