Ewing, Neb.. March 2O.-Special to
The News: The dispersion sale of
thoroughbred cattle and hogs by Mes
srs. Leahy and Swain was held here
While the cattle brought, in some
cases, very satisfactory prices, the
sale as a whole did not came up to
the expectations of the owners. In the
first place the weather was not ideal
and in the second place the large tent
used last year by NJ. T. Sanders, fail
ed to get here as ordered and ex-
pected. Had it arrived in time it is es-
timated that the aggregate amount of
the sale would have reached at least
one.third more. However, neither Mr..
Leahy or Mr.. Swain take their loss so
seriously as to cause them to abandon
the cattle business, but will keep
right on raising thoroughbred stock.
Quite number of outside towns were
represented.

that such man will not alone help

census enumeration will see Norfolk
topping the 10000 population mark.
This man, say the Commercial club
directors, is to be known as the secre.
tary of the Commercial club. He Is to
do nothing else but work for Norfolk.
1t is for this reason that members
of the Commercial club are to call on
every business man some day next
week and ask for pledge separate
from that of the regular monthly
membership dues TO the club. which
are indeed very small. This separate
| pledge is to go toward the fund to EN-

of the club are enthusiastic over this
proposition inasmuch as many other
towns of Norfolk's size have found
the proposition a paying one. Ere

about quarantine endorsements and
nothing whatever which would give
them information as to the length OF
time contagious case should be held
before interment.
They sought the ordinance regard

case if they were in any way exposed

for instruction the state health ordi-
