The most notable success on the

Denies the Story.

The strange story of Mrs. Elmer
Lundburg, printed at considerable
length in the Carroll Index, of which
Mr. Lundbhrg was formerly editor, is
denied by the Atkinson Graphic, which
prints adoption papers from Franklin
county, New York.
The Graphic says:
The sensational article appearing in
many Nebraska papers in which Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram Shuts, well known
and respected residents of this city,
are charged with the crime of kidnap-
ping Mrs. Eva Blanche Lundburg, nee
Eva Blanche Shuts, thirty-three years
ago, from her mother, Mrs. Sarah Ben
nett of Malone, Franklin county, New
York, and kept her from her lawful
heritage of a good home and the kind
influence of a cultured loving mother
all these years, are not borne out by
the facts, reluctantly given, to repre-
sentative of the Graphic after Mr.. and
Mrs. Shuts had read the accusations
against them
In 1875 Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Shuts
residing at Malone, Franklin county,
N. Y, when some charitable inclined
ladies persuaded her to accept the
care and responsibility of rearing a
little two weeks old girl waif of the
county, abandoned by its mother,
Sarah Bennett, and raise it to woman
hood having no children of their own
they accepted of the charge, bringing
her to their home on the first of July,
1875. They continued to live there for
two and one-half years from that date
when they moved to Lyons, Ia, where
after a residence of nearly eight
years they came to Atkinson and
made their home, keeping up a cor
respondence by mail with former
friends and relatives at Malone.
When they arrived here Blanche was
given their name and treated as a
daughter as can be attested to by all
of their neighbors. She was given all
the advantages that our schools per-
nit graduating from our high school
with honors.
In 1903 she became engaged to FL
mer Lundburg, the editor of the Car
rol Index, and was given in marriage
to him by them at their home after
Mr.. Lundburg had been informed of
the existing relations between them.
That Blanche appreciated their low
ing care and kindness Is shown by the
letter written by Mr.. Lundburg in
answer to one written by them to him
disclosing her parentage. The adop-
ton papers bear out the truth of their
statement and sympathy for this aged,
kind hearted, couple whose act of
charity brings grief and sorrow to
them in their declining years, is freely
expressed by their friends and neigh
bors who have known them for the
past twenty years.

His Soul Dead for Thirty Years.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-The mother of

Monowi, according to returning
travellers, Is just now hoteless. The
hotel famine is of last weeks maxi
ing and is concerned with the treat
ment of the travelling representative
of a big grocery house by the Monowi
hotel man. 1t seems that the traveller
on sitting down TO the table found
that he lacked knife, fork and
spoon and reached over to the place
opposite. A hotel girl saw the travel
ing man gathering in the knife, fork
and spoon and reported to the pro-
prietor. The latter went after an of
ficer and soon subjected the traveller
to the indignity of search. Of
course none of the supposedly missing
property was found. But the word
spread and the Monowi hotel soon
found that travelling men were avoid
ing it with great care SO in a few
days the doors were closed. But It
is not supposed that Monowi, which
is a prosperous town in a prosperous
junction of Boyd and Knox counties
will remain long without n hotel

b. r. Reid, on his recent return
from his ranch at Farrall, Wyo.,
brought with him considerable evi-
dence of the hunting that exists in
the hills about the ranch. Mr.. Reid
brought back four deer hides and the
skin of a beaver. One of the deers
he himself shot. The others were
killed by his brother. The hides will
be made into rugs. One is an espec-
tally fine specimen of a buck. The
Reid ranches are in a valley with the
mountains near at hand. Mrs. Reid,
who remains on the ranch, is getting
to be expert with a rifle.
Three coach loads of Indians late
from the Buffalo Bill wild west" show
passed through Norfolk Saturday even
ing over the Northwestern. The In
dams were taken to Rushville on a
special section of No 5, the three
extra cars together with the holiday
passenger movement beginning to set
in, making an extra section advisable.
The Pine Ridge Indians, who have
been with the Cody show represented
some of the finest specimens from the
South Dakota reservation. They left
the show at Memphis, Tenn, where
the season ended, coming to Omaha
on the Burlington. No. today was
brought from the west in two sections,
the reason in part being to move
back the extra equipment represented
in the Saturday night extra. By to-
morrow, however, it is thought that
Thanksgiving traffic will be sufficient |
ly heavy to require two sections of
the No. and 6.
