Scofield decided to move his Jami-

drug stock made several loads but a
lot of the more valuable show cases
and drug supplies were packed in a
hay rack. 1t was the big team that
was hitched to the hay rack which
broke loose, ran away and finally
bumped up against a livery barn, al
most killing one of the horses and
destroying stock and fixtures on a
terrible and expensive crash. The

SEEK HOLDOBER RELEASE
CEDAR COUNTY GERMAN EDITOR
WORKING TO THAT END.

Norfolk Hospital, Released and Sent
to Germany-chiISren Insane, Too.
Wayne, Neb., Feb IL. - Editor

Whole Family insane.
At that time the Holdobers lived on
a farm between Wayne and Wakefield
and it was from there that they dis
appeared one day in harvest time,
leaving their grain uncut and the cat
tie and other stock in the yard There
was much conjecture as to the mys-
| terry and it was some time before the
facts were known.
Holdober had suddenly decided to
move and with one team and his fam
| lily started overland for Chicago for
the purpose of consulting the German
consul about an estate in the old
country they imagined belonged to his
wife. AT Woodbine, Iowa, they aban-
doned their team and took the train
for Chicago, where by their queer ac-
tons they fell into the hands of the
police. They were held in an asylum
there for several months.
OF Royal Family.
The hallucination Mrs. Holdober
labored under was that che was a de.
scendant of a royal family and that a
large estate in Germany belonged to
her. In this delusion the husband
shared.
Finally they, with their two chill.
dren, were returned to Wayne county
and the parents were sent to the Nor.
folk asylum and the children, girls,
aged and 7, to the Nebraska chill
dren's home in Omaha. DR.. Quivey
superintendent of the home, says that
the children show signs of insanity.

in the sole of his shoe. Not realizing
the nature of the wound at first, one

it hurt and received the reply, mo,

EXPECT TRIP OPENING
INDICATIONS POINT TO OPENING
THIS FALL.
Secretary Garfield Of the Interior De-
partment Recently Mentioned Trip
as One of the Counties to be Thrown
Open This Year

Gregory Advocate; 1t seems to be
an assured fact that Trip county will
open this coming fall While this has
been the general opinion for some
time yet nothing really definite about
the matter until Secretary Garfield of
the interior department made his an
nual report which has just been pub.
lished.
In speaking of the various Indian
reservations that are to be opened this
year he speaks of Trip county and
adds that the necessary steps are now
being taken TO the opening of these
lands.
Word also comes from Lamro that
the allotting agent has received word
from Washington not to accept any
more new applications for allotments
in Trip county and notices have
been posted to that effect.
Ever since the bill for the opening
of Trip county passed both houses of
congress the Indians have been very
the allotting has been slow work, ow-
ing to the large number of details to
be looked after before an allotment
can be made, During the past year,
7S6 allotments were made These
have all been sent to Washington for
approval. There are yet gil Indians
to be allotted in Trip county.
Alotting Agent Schriven stated last
fall that he expected to complete his
work by June or July, provided there
were no new applications, and now
that the government has issued orders
that no new applications can be made,
he will no doubt complete his work in
that time.
If one is to judge by the letters that
are pouring into the town, inquiring
about these lands, the rush next sum-
mer will be the greatest ever expert
enced at land opening. We have
been informed from a very reliable
source that the registration points in
this county will be those towns most
accessible to the land and that Greg
DRY will be one of them.

FRESH, CRISP AIR AND OZONE.
Despite Clouds and Mud, Tuesdays
Air Was Balmy and Stimulating,


While Tuesday morning looked
murky overhead and was sticky under
foot, there was something in the air
between heaven and earth that made
it a day that was good to be out in
for humans. For in spite of the thick,
heavy clouds that hung all over the
skies and in spite of the wet, soft,
sticky mud that you had to walk in,
the air was crisp and fresh and clear
and had about it a perfume that sa-
vored of the sawmill regions of the
sOuthland-the fragrant aroma that
comes from the sap and the sawdust
of the fresh cut timber in Indian Ter
ritory or Louisiana.
There was that in the Tuesday
morning air in Norfolk that filled up
the lungs to their fullest capacity
with stimulating, invigOrating ozone.
There was a tonic in the breeze that
hoated up from the south that made
all mankind feel more alert and more
equal to the days work ahead. There
was just enough of the tone of the
springtime atmosphere to make one
want to stay out in the open all day
long and never go inside of stuffy,
overheated Office room to toll.
There was just enough of the April
balm, just enough of the summertime's
dew in the air to make one turn to
the treetops expecting to find green
branches spread all about and to look
for the robins returned from winters
den.
