remarkably good, everything
Considarod

remarkably good, everything
considered.
Undertakings of all kinds,
necessitating the use of bor-
rowed capital, have been as
strongly financed as at any
time in our history. S o m e
farmers with short crops have
had to renew instead of paying e
their notes, but such obliga-
tions are usually good as gold.
The spirit of the people of
this internorthwestern empire
is stronger than ever, and all
natural conditions tend toward
a splendid season for 1912.
The wealth of this region is
partly shown by the fact tina
in the single state of South
Dakota, nearly 4,5OO automo-
biles were purchased durin g
the nine months ended Oct. 1,
1911. Whereas that state had
one automobile to every u peo-
pie last New Years dav, now
she has one to every So inhabit-
ants.
Our farm lands and buildings
are conservatively valued at
So, 155, 100000. The average
value per farm, nearly $11, 600,
surpasses that of all other
states except California.
We are only on the thresh-
hold of our development. One
bad drouth in thirty years in
North Dakota, in 1910, and a
dry spell during first half of a
single summer inSouth Dakota,
1911, are merely incidents in a
long period. of uninterrupted
prosperity.
Our resources, agricultural
and otherwise, that now await
development, will afford ample
returns for all the men and
money devoted thereto.
And the great lesson, that
good farming pays good profits
even in "a dry year, will be o1
untold value in promoting bet
ter agriculture wherever care
less farming has heretofore
prevailed.

Norfolk is to have a corn show.
The date for the exhibit has not
been definitely set, but it will prob.
ably be in the early part of Deem
Der. All kinds of farm products will
be on display and cash prizes will be
awarded Norfolk's trade territory

There will be cash prizes on all
kinds of corn-single ears, ten ears
thirty ears and sweepstakes. There
will be a first and second prize on
garden displays and general farm eX,

but expect to be reimbursed by bust
ness men. The committee on ar
rangements is: Frank Tannehill, G

Sequel to the Murder Rumors.

Pierce, Neb., Oct. 2S.-Special to
The News: 1t appears that on last
Tuesday night at the Munson home,
where the digging and hunting for
the body of Ole Munson was carried
on, that Henry Boumie appeared upon
the scene himself and pointed to the
very spot where he said Munson' s
body was buried At the time the Of
ficers arrived at the place the Mum
son family were in bed and asleep
and We're overwhelmed by surprise at
the statements of the officers that
they had come to dig up the body Of
Ole Munson. They told the officers
to dig anywhere they pleased, and
after they had done so at the place
that Boumie pointed out, and found
nothing, they let the matter rest until
further developments. The Munson
family don't appear to be scared, but
appear to be heartbroken over the af-
fair. Thursday it appears that they
became angry over the matter, be.
cause they had their attorneys, o. S.
Spillman and Nj. II. Leamy, file a Pc
tition in the district court of Pierce
county and bring suit for $4,000, the
amount for damages which they claim
they sustained by reason of the al.
legged SANDER of Henry Boumie. 1t
appears that Nellie Boumie, a sister
to the three boys and daughter of
Ida NIunson, who appeared as plain.
tffs in the case, started a divorce
proceeding against Henry Boumie in
the district court over two months
ago, and in that case she seeks to set
aside deeds given by her husband to
her brother day or two before they
were married. The Munsons now
claim that Boumies conduct toward
them is an effort to influence Mrs
Boumie to drop that case and uncover
his property. Ole Munson is said 10

in front of the opera house Norman
Burgess, about Is or 10 years of age,
shot and wounded Real Goodwin, an
other young man of about the same
age. The ball took effect in Good

yesterday morning by DR.. Briggs, who
says unless unforeseen complications
arise the young man will recover.
AS to the cause for the shooting
there are so many stories rife that
it is next to impossible to get at real

Burgess and Goodwin have been quar-

not until Saturday evening was the
elimination of their troubles reached
Burgess was taken into custody by
Marshal Cayne shortly after the shoot.

Gates Wins From Norfolk.

Neigh, Neb., Oct. 30.-Special to
The News: The best football game
and most interesting of the season
was played here at Riverside park
Saturday afternoon between the fast
high school eleven Of Norfolk and the
Gates academy team of this city. The
visitors played the game for all there
was in it, and despite the fact that
they were considerably lighter than
their opponents, they plowed through
Gates line and made end runs that
resulted in satisfactory gains at each
attempt, but at no time during the
game were they closer than the thirty.
yard line.
Gates secured the first touchdown
in the second quarter by Ed Best
when the ball was within one foot OF
the Norfolk goal. The second touch
down was made during the fourth
quarter and the last minute of play
by forward pass from Best to Grit
fin. Score: Gates, 10; Norfolk, 0.
Norfolk played fast ball from start
to finish and plainly showed that they
had received the best of coaching, al
though many fumbles were made by
their backfield during the game. Gates
was penalized for offside from ten to
twenty yards about every quarter.
Gates has won every game this sea
son, and no eleven has been able tC
score against them.
