Indictment for
Dummy Entries
to Large Tracts
Everett Eldred Charged by Fedora
Grand Jury with Getting Ten
Thousand Acres.

When Bverett Eldred is located by
deputy United States marshals, he win be
called upon to answer an indictment charg-
ing him with conspiracy to acquire title
to government land in Banner county by
what is technically known as dummy or
procured" entries.
This case involves 10000 acres of land,
and the arrest of Eldred, which has not
yet been accomplished, will cause much ex-
citement, as he is we'll known over wide
area in western Nebraska
Garden county is a newly created county
in western Nebraska, having been recently
set off from Deuel. county, and land in that
section is in great demand. 1t is not antic,
ipated that the authorities will experience
any difficulty in arresting Eldred, as he is
not the type of man to resist an officer
and taking him into custody is merely a
matter of locating him, the officers say.
The indictment against Eldred has no
connection whatever with other indict-
ments against western Nebraska ranchmen

This coupled with a denunciation Of c. o,

again and again by speakers OF the even
ing that Mr. Lobeclk deserves a singing
rebuke for his hypocritical statements made
in his gumshoe campaign. He is asserting
himself to be Swedish and has done this
for years, when. as a matter Of fact, his
father is a German, and he holds himself
out TO be a German when talking to men
of German extraction. He has caused It
TO be inserted in German newspapers that
he is q German, while in Swedish papers
he is the son OF a Swedish man ana his
people are all Swedish. This last false
abatement has been his only stock in trade
for fifteen years in claiming the support
of Swedish-Americans to keep himself in

How earnest the members Of the Swe-

As shown by the fact that every one OF the

"A REBEL PREACHER
SKINNED.

I have been hearing sermons
all my life. Have heard good
ones, bad ones, and all other
kinds. But I'll be civilly dog
goned if / didn't add a new one
to my list last Sunday.
I was in neighboring town,
and as the devotional hour ar
rived I strolled into the biggest
church I could find, expecting to
spend a rather dull hour listen
ing to the baritone bellowings
Of a red-headed Bible-beater.
The preacher got up and
stretched himself and gave a tug
at his Adams apple, and sailed
in. First off, he kicked the old
Bible under bench and read the
10th chapter Of the History Of the
Civil War. Then he took for his
text the Oath verse Of said chap
ter, which reads as follows:
"Verily I say unto you that
Jesus Christ was a pretty smart
fellow in his day, but he couldn t
touch Bob Lee and Stonewall
Jackson with a forty foot pole. :
Then the great preacher spat
on his hands and began to outline
the plan of salvation as laid out
by Bob Lee and Stonewall Jack,
son. They were the sayiours OF
mankind and the only hope OF q
diving world. All that talk about
Jesus was tonanyrot-the I'M

BACON AND BOOZE.

Of all the far-fetched and in
fernal arguments that were ever
Matched up by the bug-house
brain Of blubbering booze
artist, here is one that caps the
stack. The editor of a local pa
per, in adding his mite to the dis
cussion of the high cost of living,
drags in the startling statement
that the prohibition law in North
Carolina is responsible for the
high cost of meat. Shades of
Dad s old SOW! What a clincher!
Now we have it straight from the
fountain-head Of wisdom, and the
question is settled. It must be
thrilling sensation to be smart
like that.
Several years ago, when gov
ernment distilleries were as thick
throughout North Carolina as
heas on a yaller dog, it was the
custom to fatten hogs on "still-
slop." The stiller built a hog
lot adjoining his booze-factory
and all the neighbors brought
their hogs there to be fattened on
the "slop' which ran into the
lot through great nasty troughs.
The farmers sold their corn to the
stiller and took their pay in ik-
ker for themselves and "slop"
for their hogs. And they thought
they were getting great bar
gain.
| But now the. stills have been
driven out, and the rivers Of
still-slop have ceased to flow,
and that is the reason the people
can t raise hogs any more-be-
cause there is no still-slop to fat
ten 'em on.
Great argument! Profound
reasoning! Of course no one ever
thought of feeding corn to hogs.
But why couldn't it be done? !?
Why wouldn t a bushel Of corn
do pig more good than just the
slop that a bushel of corn would
make? Do the four-legged hogs
| fare better on the dregs Of the
corn after the ''drunk" has been
extracted for the use Of the hui
man hogsf That seems to be the
way our wise editor looks at it.
