to The News: Edward Cahota, sew
enteen-yearold lad, whose father con-
ducts restaurant here, shot Samuel
Bordeaux, a quarterbreed Indian, in
the hip while the latter was paying
nocturnal visit to the restaurant
The restaurant is also the living
apartment of the Cahota family, con-
sisting of the father, son and two
daughters.
About 10 O'Clock last night a rap
ping was heard on one of the rear
windows of the house. Going to the
window the boy asked who was there
but received no response. After a
short interval the rapping was again
heard and upon inquiry no reply was
given. After this second occurrence
the boy informed his father, who told
him to take a gun and if the rapping
was repeated and if no response was
given to his question, to shoot. Again
the rapping was heard and again the
boy went and asked who was there
with the same result. So he fired
through the window with the above
result, The man after getting his
wound dressed this morning hiked out
for the reservation where he lives.
No motive is assigned for his actions
No arrests were made.

air in it was only heavy enough to
push the barometer up to 2905, while
the normal in Norfolk is almost an
inch higher.
II was the extreme light weight Of
the air in that storm center that made
the wind blow from the north for so
long period. The air in the storm
center kept shooting up into the sky,
air from hundreds of miles around
the center was drawn in with tremen-
dous force and thus the north wind
swept down across Norfolk pushed
on with all the more force by an area
Of high pressure that has been APP
preaching from the Pacific northwest
since Friday and which just arrived
Tuesday. This high pressure area
brought the barometer to almost thir-
ty inches. And it was the cold air
in this high pressure area that made
people SILVER.
With this area Of heavy, cold air
moving southeastward, and with an
other area of light, warm air coming
down from Medicine Hat, where the
mercury stood at fifty when it was
below freezing in Norfolk, there is
promise of a rising thermometer.

BAN TAKEN OFF CATTLE.

The ban which a year and a half
ago was placed on cattle from Ne
braska for interstate shipment owing
to the prevalence of scabies will on
May be lifted, as far as the eastern
half of the state is concerned.
The raising of this quarantine over
the eastern half of Nebraska is equiv
alent to the statement that the gov
eminent, assisted by Nebraska state
officials, has combated successfully
the scabies, or cattle ITCH as it is
commonly known, and that it has been
stamped out OF this particular section.
Ever since year ago cattle, wheth-
or killers or feeding cattle have had
to be dipped according to government
regulations, or If they were shipped
out Of the state to public markets
without dipping they would be placed
in the quarantine division unless ac-
companied by government permit.
While IN a great many instances the
order worked hardship on the pro-
Queer and shipper, In the end 1t has
proven of great benefit to the cattle
industry.
The country out of which cattle
may be shipped after May 1 without
a permit, and which comprises most
Of the eastern half of Nebraska, is as
lows: All the territory lying east
and south of line across the state,
beginning at the northwest corner of
Knox county and running south along
the western boundary of Knox, Ante
lope and Boone, to the northeast cor
ner of Greeley, thence west along the
north boundary of Greeley and Valley,
thence south along the west boundary
of Valley and Sherman, thence west
along the north boundary of Buffalo,
thence south along the west boundary
of Buffalo, then west along the north
boundary of Phelps, Gosper and From
tier and Red Willow to the state line
between Nebraska and Kansas.
There will be no change in the
method of handling cattle for inter-
state shipment from the territory
west and north of said line until fur
Their orders.
This order does not affect the hand
ling of sheep for interstate shipment
from Nebraska. They must be in
spected before shipment.
