The old comedy favorite, "Peck's
Bad Boy" which the grown-ups OF
today liked SO we'll when they were
children, and which the children OF
today will like even more for the
reason that the comedy is not anti
auated but has been brought up to
date by the we'll known writer OF
many song successes, Irving Berlin
who has interpolated the modern
songs of today and the latest devices
in the way CT laugh-provoking Incl
dents. All that is old about "Peck's
Bad Boy" Of the present season is
the everpopular story of the typical
American boy whose pranks upon his
father and mother and upon Shultz
the old German grocer, are the talk
of the neighborhood in which he
lives. The title role is in the effic'
lent hands Of Lew Herman, who has
signed long term contract with the
producers who have to make many
concessions to get his signature to g
contract. The engagement in this
city is for Thursday evening, Nov
9th, at the armory opera house.

BEEN LIVING LIKE KINGS
Shooting Affair Results in Killing Of
an Innocent Bystander-
Murderer Caught.

Brownsville, Nov. 3.-There was
some little excitement down town
last night, just for few minutes
when one Mexican shot another, and
killed him. G.. Teyino got unruly
and a policeman told him to get out
for home and behave himself. Tevino
went home and got pistol, came
back and shot at the policeman. The
bullet went wild and passed through
the heart of E. Garcia, bystander,
killing him instantly. When Tevino
seen he had missed his mark, he
shot again, this time puncturing the
right arm of his victim, injuring
him slightly. Tevino then hot foot
ed it for shelter but was soon over
taken and placed in JAIL One of our
boys happened to be in town and
was one of those who were on the
scene of combat.
We have been living like kings for
the past month but will be forced to
come back to palmer substance for
short time at least, as the supply
department got overloaded on ba-
con and they are unloading it on the
companies. We drew almost $40
worth of bacon in the past ten days
and before we get rid of it, we won't
any of us be able to look hog in
the face. We have been using the
word bacon but if the word were
sandpapered down, we would he
compelled to say that it was just the
common bosom of lady pig and
each slab has furnished rations for
a family, prior to the time of her
death.
They tell us that as soon as they
have unloaded the bacon on us, they
have several thousand cans of en-
balmed mule that we will be urged
to dispose of in a smiling way.
Well, any way, the canned mule is
all cut up so it is impossible to tell
whether it is a gentleman or lady
and at the worst there are thousands
of people residing on the opposite
side of the Rio Grande that would
be delighted to have either the can
ned mule or the bosom of pig.
Earl Reynolds and Roy Cline are
getting so fat that you have to get
right up close to them before you
can tell whether they are coming or
going.
Pappy Norton and Herb Herrick
are erecting house for Col. Hyatt.
The building will be 9x9 feet, with
canvas cover and canvas walls. Sew
eral of the officers are having wood
en- buildings erected, contemplating
stay through the winter. However,
other officers are confident that we
will go northward soon after cleo
ton, so it is quite evident that none
of the officers here are certain just
when home coming time would be
MADE an order. In any event, the
Iowa boys will do their share Of
staying, unless ordered home.
The Second regiment is out on
some kind of maneuvers today and
every one is out of camp but the
cooks and kitchen detail, Elmer
Dahl of the hospital corps and Chick
DeFrance, 0. A. Satter, who is on
the sick list, Supply Sergeant Derry,
and yours truly. 1t sure is lone

The greatest event that was ever
staged in the Brownsville district,

ing Ablaze.

The garage on the Henry Bossen-
berger place was destroyed by fire
that started about Z o'clock Sunday
evening. Miss Louise BOssenberger
was getting the car ready for trip
to Webster City. She had a Ian
tern in the garage and the fire UNI
doubtedly started from some gaso-
line which she spilled on the floor
while filling the tank. AS she rush
ed from the building for help her
clothing took fire and before help
reached her she was badly burned,
her right hand and her body from
the waist down being involved, be-
sides numerous smaller burns on
other parts of her body. After the
flames had been smothered by the
prompt action of her sister Caroline,
Miss Louise had the courage to send
in the fire alarm and telephone for
other help, even going into the base
ment for hose with which to fight
the fire before she gave up.
The car and other contents of the
garage were total loss. The insur-
ance policy on the car had lapsed a
short time ago and Mr.. Rosenberg
err had neglected to renew it.
With the high winds that were
blowing at the time it is marvellous
that other buildings escaped, but
the fire department and neighbors
worked desperately to prevent II
from spreading.

Miss Leah Wyatt met with painful

final day of the coursing meet at the
Douglas County Fair grounds, when
the two Clair dogs, Dick Clair and
Babe Clair, ran true to form, and

in this state event. Both dogs went
through all the rounds easily.

one, as the score indicates. The jack
was frisly animal and he gave the
hounds merry chase, but was even

cape by leaping over the canvas. That
he had not been trained for the escape
was evident, as he had several oppor-

BOWLING SCORES IN

Local Pin Tumblers Begin to
Show Signs Of Real Form
as Season Progresses.
GET READY FOR ST. LOUIS

Bowling scores of last week were
quite an Improvement over those> Of
previous weeks, showing that Omaha
sharks are commencing to realize that
they have been hopelessly out of form
and in no condition to enter the big
Middlewest tournament which starts
in St. Louis this month, They are
still little wild and lots of practice
is still needed if they expect to COM
pete successfully against the teams
from other cities.
The seasons prize fund will be larger
than ever, due to the large entry list.
1t is expected St. Louis will enter 100
teams and that Chicago will be there
with twenty teams, Peoria, fifteen,
and Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux City,
St. Paul and Des Moines will have
their usual four to eight teams, but
the real surprise is the fact that small
er cities, which formerly entered only
one team each, sent in entries for two
or three teams. There are several
of these. Mason City, Ia, has entered
three; Dubuque, two; Burlington, new
er represented before, two; St. Joseph,
three; Cedar Rapids and Davenport,
Ia, two teams each. Teams have been
entered from Taylorville, ILL.,, and Doe
Run, Mo- Several towns, such as
these, which have never entered be-
fore, are lining up this season with
one or two teams each.
A few Omaha teams have already
announced definitely their entrance in
the big meet. The Brandeis, Storz.
Metz and All-Stars will make the trip,
and the Oma, letters Old Age
and Luxus teams are considered prac-
tically certainties. The Home Res

~ Tourney at Lincoln.
Omaha-teams will have an oppor-
-tunity for tournament practice at
Lincoln next Saturday il they enter
the big handicap tournament which is
being held this week. Lincoln has
entered twenty teams and teams will
enter from Wahoo, Omaha, Fremont,
Grand Island and Columbus. The
entry fee is 81 per man in each event,
and all will be paid out in prize
money. About four teams will enter
from here. Saturday has been set
aside for Omaha teams, and two more
are needed to fill the reserved spaces.
This will be an excellent opportunity
for Omaha teams to get in condition
for the big St. Louis fray.

Central Favorite
Over Lincolnites
In Fray Saturday

Centraps Singing vic-ory over
Beatrice and Lincoln's overwhelming
defeat of Sioux Falls were the two
interesting games in Nebraska foot
bill last week. Coach Mulligan showed
the Queen City that his team not
only was made up of first class ma
terial, but was the, handiest in the
state when it comes to fighting
through pinches. Morearty, or no
Morearty, Central would have beaten
Beatrice Friday because they had de-
veloped defense in the first half OF
the game that the Black and Orange
could not penetrate.
The fact that Mulligan's goal line
has not been crossed thus far this
season is encouraging for the Lincoln
game Saturday. 1t will probably take
more than one Griffin to swing his
way through the local defense, and
since Lincoln has but one such per-
son Capital City victorys seems re-
mote. The odds by whole lot are
with Central. The game will be
mighty close affair, however, as
Coach Reese has been weekly inn
proving his squad.
Grand Island whipped away with
victory against York. Owens of the
Third City eleven picked up FUN

for touchdown. York has been

FIRE LOSS FOR YEAR IS SMALL,

Excepting the damage done to the
Esch store by fire on Friday of last
week the loss during the past year has
reached the total of $2S74. This. con-
sidering the size of the city, is a re-
markable showing
The fire at the Esch store caused
damage estimated at $4,000. The fire
broke out in the wol kroom in the back
portion of the upper floor OF the store
and spread rapidly to the adjoining
rooms. The goods stored in the upper
floor were badly damaged by smoke
and steam and the grocery and lower
floor OF the store were damaged by wa.
ter. The fire department succeeded in
putting the fire out without serious
loss to the building itself but the loss
on the goods amounts to large sum.
Adjustors were sent here by the psur-
ance companies on Monday and have
been at work since getting the amount
of damaged goods totaled up.

The case of Charles Kiel against

county board from the town of Gibson
for the recovery of moneys alleged to
have been improperly paid to Rhein
by the county during his term of Office
as chairman of the town of Gibson has
not been listed for trial at the coming
term of Circuit Court. The action
was commenced nearly year ago and
the county board has since that time
been endeavoring to get the matter OF
alleged improper payments to its
board members Strengthened up. The
hoard at its recent session adopted a
report authorizing the District Attor-
ney TO proceed against any of its form
er members who had received more
money than they were entitled to under
the law for services performed and it is
probable that the Rheln case has been
put over this term with the.;dea of al
lowing the county TO bring its own ac
tion in the matter.
