HORSE STEALING CHARGED.
A Buggy Was Stolen in Vicinity Of Ne.
jioh the Same kjuht,

Neigh, Neb., March 1l.-Special to
The News: No new developments
have gained light as to the person
who stole the team of horses from the
barn of Percy Jones Wednesday night
nor has there been the slightest trace
unearthed as to the whereabouts of
the horses.
The only new feature in the case Is
that single buggy belonging to James
town, was stolen either Wednesday
night or early Thursday morning. II
is surmised that this team may have
been hitched to the buggy and driven
west, out of town.
1t has been discovered that a per.
son was seen driving a team without
wagon or buggy after the midnight
hour Wednesday about two miles east
of Neigh, and going toward town.
Papers were served on Charles Bur
dick, the prisoner, last evening, charg
ing him with horse stealing. This was
done to enable the officers to hold
him III jail for at least three days
longer. He was questioned at length
several times yesterday, and his sto
ries have in each instance been as
conflicting as were the answers given
officer Jackson, and despite his en-
tanglements he maintains his limo
cence of any crime whatever.
The officers hope to have new devel
opments within the next twenty.foui

SOCIETY


While a good business Is essential
to making a town pleasant place to
live, yet business is not all that is
required. While a man is contented
If his business is prosperous, how
about the women of his household?
They require more than bread, butter
and a decent frock-to be happy and
contented they must be interested in
their neighbors. their town and their
surroundings. To be attractive to
strangers. town must extend the
glad hand not only to the man in q
business way, but to his mother, wife
and daughter. When a family moves
into town, 1t should be one OF the
first pleasures of the neighbor wo.
men-or duty, If not pleasure-to
call upon the people who have just
moved in and make them feel that
Norfolk is glad that they decided to
locate here, and that hereafter they
will be counted one of us. Don't
| wait to see what church they belong
to, what their club affiliations are or
what lodge they may hold member
Women probably do not realize what
it means to stranger to sit alone in
her house for days after she has NOV
ed to n new town, without a friendly
face darkening her door, while her
thoughts still dwell upon the old
home and old surroundings. Is 1t any
wonder she does not like the new
town and is homesick to go back
where she knows people and where
they know her and call her by her
first name? One of the most essential
features of making town look good
to man is to have peace and content
in his home, and it is a duty that the
women Of a town owe their husbands
as well as themselves b help bring
this about, welcoming newcomers in
a manner that shows that we are real
/ ly glad they have come to live with
us. While the men are trying to build
| a greater Norfolk, let the women do
their share, and in no better way can
they do this than to help make new.
Corners feel that Norfolk is the best
place on earth to live.
