ATTORNEY GADD
TAKES A HAND
Arrests Grant Darrali Whom he Charges
With Imposing on Feeble Minded
Woman a Ward at Poor Farm,

County Attorney Gadd was
called bv Supervisor L. Cushman
to the poor farm last Friday
morning to investigate a nltter
concerning an effort on the part
Of Grant Albert Darrah seeking
to have a county ward sign
some papers. Mr.. Cushm2 N, the
county supervisor, believed that
the woman was being imposed
upon, herself not being OF sound
mind, and having two children
one two years and the other six
months old. Gadd called the
county physician, DR.. Fcnning-
ton, and together they went to
the poor farm which is about
fourteen miles from this city.
After arriving there they found
Darrah at the place. He insisted
that he would take the woman
home. 1t was learned that the
man had been living with the
woman for about three years and
that be had not been married to
her. He owns 100 acres Of laud
in the county. The woman is
below the average i'll intelligence
could neither read nor write, and
was almost of feeble mind. Mr..
Gadd infoi med the man that he
could not take the woman or the
children.
Arriving at Merua, Mr.. Gadd
instructed the deputy sheriff and
the city marshal to arrest the
man and hold him until he could
get to Broken Bow for a warrant
The officers acted upon his ad-
vice. Upon arriving here Mr..
Gadd filed a criminal complaint
and Immediately instituted civil
suit in the name of the county
for the woman and children aud
tied up the 100 acres OF land.

5O,OOO,OO BUSHELS
OF WHEAT,
Nebraska Yield of Winter and Spring
Wheat Shows Increase.

NHeaI SHOWS Increase.
Nebraska's 1909 wheat crop,
including both spring aud winter
wheat, was so, 100000 bushels,
according to reports by the state
bureau Of labor and Industrial
statistics. The figures have not
been tabulated but the totals
show that Nebraska raised 49,
$4,000 bushels of winter wheat
and 3,S70,000 bushels of spring
wheat. The 1908 crop was
about 40, 100000, bushels. With
wheat up in the air during the
entire summer the corpulent Ne.
braska farmer realized between
lorty and fifty millions of dollars
his yellow cereal yield.
The returns to the state bureau
indicate that local wheat buyers
had a good line on the situation
early in July. At that time The
Star published several intervie ws
with local men, most of whom
declared that the crop would be
about 1000, 900 bushels. All Of
them acknowledged that there
was considerable element of
guess work in this estimate but
they were positive that the yield
would be larger than last year
and they thought ten per cent
gain would about hit it off.
Only one grain man dissented.
He thought that the yield would
be larger proportionately than
than in 1908 but he believed that
the acreage was less on account
of the fact that much wheat had
been rlowcd up.
IlIs 1IElsp TJ'N hNNif'
The last government report on
Nebraska winter wheat showed
an aver re yield of 1914 bushels.
Accordi - to the reports sent to
the state bureau this yield should
be mar ;cd up to 2O-l3 bushels
per acre. The government ex-
pcrts made no report on spring
wheat yields and the state bureau
figures his to be SO bushels
per acre
Owing to the fact that
blcachcC flour may still be sold
in NeJr ska it is highly probable
that nsidcrable part Of this
big yicl will be milled within

nected nth a portion of the
