RIVAL TOWN BOARDS.

viii Probably be Carried Into Court.

viii Probably be Carried Into Court.
Central City, Neb., April 24.-The
stoning of the residence of Alec Stout
at Chapman Monday night brings
forcibly - the public attention the
fact that there is an interesting con-
test on over municipal affairs in that
town. and that the people there are
taxing a great deal of interest in it.
At the election on April 3 the city
clerk prepared the ballots with the
understanding that there was but one
member of the township board to be
elected this year, and as j. Friman
had been put in nomination by the
citizens party and no other nomina-
tions had been made, his was the only
name that went on the ballot. The
anti-saloon forces, however, contended
that there were four members to elect,
and a number of them consulted to-
gether and agreed upon three other
names, and wrote them on the ballot
when they came to vote. The three
ballot were those of Fred Laub, Elmer
Easter and Samuel Easter.
When the time for organizing the
town board came the trouble broke
loose. The old board organized with
the new member, J. friman. and Frank
Ritter. William Worland and DIR. Ha-
mil of the old board.
Alec Stout, one of the hold-overs on
the old board, joined with the three
whose names had been written in on
re ballot and another board was or
ganized. Now there are two town
boards organized in the town, and it
is quite probable that the courts will
be invoked to straighten out the tan
gle. The contention of the one side
is that Ezra Gallogly was the only
member whose term expired and, that
j. Friman was elected to succeed him,
while the anti-saloon forces contend
that Alex Stout was the only member

Clay Center. Neb,. April 24.-Robert
McKeown, a farmer living two miles
north of Saronville, and a bachelor,
was called to his door about IL
o'clock Friday evening and party
demanded admission, which was re-
fused. The man then tried to force
entrance and threatened to burn the
house If McKeown didn't come out,
built a small fire close by the house
and where McKeown could see it
through the window.
McKeown on coming out was shot
through the hand. cut with a knife

Lead, S. d., April 24-That the re,

owns a large cattle ranch in the Big
Horn country, Wyoming, and has just
returned from the section of the SEN
sational killings.
For over 1925 miles," said Senator
May. "the whole country in Wyoming

cattle and sheep men. 1t is the gem

the sheep men drew on the fight by

able. Snakes of all species are be-
coming less plentiful in agricultural
districts where rats and mice are most
numerous. The cutting down of
groves where hawks and owls nestled
and the wholesale slaughter of these
birds by farmers adds another tragic
chapter to the sad story of how the
farmer destroys his friends of the
farm. In nest of red.tailed hawks
examined some years ago on Union
Creek in Madison county, | found
eight ground squirrels that had been
killed during the forenoon of that day.
In the crop of a red-taied hawk I
found portions of a young rabbit, two
prairie squirrels and a small snake,
The preference of all hawks and owls
is for small animals and only when
they become depraved or from
scarcity of mammals do they capture
birds, the bg-horned owl and the
Cooper hawk being the chief of
tenders.

Remus would call him, our pugnaclous
little brother of the burrow who exca-
Yates the citidal of the pocket gopher
as a wood-pecker would invade the
sanctuary of worm in a rotten tree
and who ever misses an opportunity
to brain this useful animal classed
everywhere as 'varmint." Our odori-
ferrous friend of the sunny side of a
draw has earned bad name, but II
the story of the skunk was fully
known the balance would be on the
side of the service he does to agri-
culture. Our frowsy nomad of the
prairies, the Kyotee, never misses a
chance to snap up mouse, rat or
gopher and as these are easier to get
during the summer than other food
he follows the line of least resistance
in pursuit of his daily meals.

ncIass naun ls Revived


AS an event of purely local interest
the class day program of the high
school seniors at the auditorium next
Friday evening promises to rival in
popular interest the commencement
proper on May 2S. After a lapse of
several years class day is again re-
vived. AS the present graduating class
has made record in scholarship and
Is said to have plenty of good material
for class day program, it is believed
that class day as an institution will
be started off with proper enthusiasm
next Friday
The Program.
The light phase of school work is
as usual given emphasis in the class
day program, which for some weeks
has been gradually rounding into
shape. The past, the present and the
future of the class will be cleverly
shown in three different scenes.
The program is as follows.
Part One, past"
How dear to our hearts are the
scenes of our childhood" Glass his
tory, class of 1909.
Piano solo, Lloyd Pasewalk.
Violin solo, Ray Estabrook.
Part Two, Future"
If you can look into the seeds of
time-show us the future" Glass
prophecy, class of 1909.
Piano solo, Lowell Erskine.
Piano solo, Miss Dorothy Rudat.
Part Three, present"
"Oh, wad some power the giftie gle
us, to see ourselves as ithers see u.s."
Glass will, Miss Joela Sharp
Presentation of gifts, Miss Inez
Viele.
Glass song, class of 1909.
Glass mementoes.
Will Buy Gift.
The proceeds from the class day
entertainment will be used by the
seniors in purchasing a piece of stat
uary to present to the high school on
graduation night. Glass day tickets are
now being sold by students for rs
cents. Later these tickets may be re-
served at The News office.
Having the entire calss act out the
class history and the class prophecy
it is believed will be both novel and
amusing.
