Plan a Bio Poultry Show.

The Northeast Nebraska Poultry as
ISOLATION held one of the most enthusi-
astic meetings in its history in Nor
folk last night. The organization is
found to be resting on a strong foun-
dalton. Every preparation has been
made to start arrangements for the
largest poultry show in the west. The
show will be held in Norfolk January
3, 4, and 6, 1912, with Judge South
ard of Kansas City and local Judge E.
|. Custer of Norfolk in charge.
The committee on arrangements for
the new premium list are: w. P.
Logan, H. B. Dixon, E. I. Custer.
Larger premiums will be offered and
every inducement given to get the
breeders out with their birds. The
association has conferred with other
associations so there will be no con-
fiict of dates as there was this year.
So breeders from far and near have a
cordial invitation to bring or send
their birds and have them scored by
a competent judge and to meet in
strong competition and see what they
have, for a ribbon at this show will
mean a great many dollars to breed
ers as an advertising medium.

Girl Thrown of of Train.

Hoskins, Neb., June 19.-Special to
The News: C. w. Manck, the irate
father who pursued his daughter and
her lover to Norfolk few weeks ago
when the couple eloped and We're mar
ried at Madison, and who subsequent
ly filed charges against Smith, the
bridegroom, is in jail here today on a
charge sworn out yesterday after he
had pushed the daughter off a moving
train. The girl was starting to Jack
son, Neb., to join her young husband,
that place, when her father boarded
the train and threw her Off But for
bystanders catching her, it is thought
the girl would have fallen under the
wheels.
A crowd of young men, realizing
that Manck intended to make trouble
for the girl when he boarded the train,
followed him through the cars and
gave him the same treatment that he
had accorded the young woman, kick
ing him off. But no bystanders caught
him as he fell, sprawling, on the plat
form.
Then the girl issued warrant for
her fathers arrest on the charge of
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm. He was locked in Jail. And a
crowd raised a purse, said to be about
$50, with which the bride was able to
hire an automobile to take her to her
waiting husband.
Mrs. Smith claimed that last Friday
her father had beaten her and this
she telephoned to her husband at Jack.
son. He told her to come to Jackson
at once. When she got on the train
here yesterday afternoon to go, the
father followed her and kicked her
Off.
Manck spent the night in Jail. Sent
iment in the community runs high
against him.
At the time of the girls marriage
to Smith few weeks ago, the father
pursued the couple to Norfolk and
had Smith arrested, causing the young
bridegroom to spend a night in jail
here. The father claimed the girl was
under age.

The Seals Marvellous Instinct.

The instinct Of the seal is marvellous.

the morning and, going down through

the evening, 1t will locate it's offspring
in the same patch among hundreds
of thousands of other baby seals not
withstanding that the ice may have
wheeled or drifted fifty or sixty miles
during the day from wind and tide
and Notwithstanding that the patch
may extend thirty or forty miles from
one end to the other. Whether this
instinct is of the class that enables
the bird without any mark or chart in

Tilden Ball Game is Off.

Secretary Charles Hulac of the Nor
folk ball team declared Monday he
would send letter to the Tilden ball
team cancelling the game between
Norfolk and Tilden on July 4, at Til
den.
1--WE are playing ball for the mere
sport and enjoyment we can get out of
it," he says, land in the interest of the
harmony that exists between Norfolk
and Tilden people, am going to call
the game off. My reason for this ac-
ton is that five members of our team
refuse to go to Tilden on July 4, and
because l do not believe we can get a
square deal in that city. We are per-
fectly willing, however, to play Tilden
on neutral grounds any time, and for
any amount of money"
Mr.. Hulac declares that the players
who refuse to go to Tilden say they
We're told that square deal would not
