POULTRY SPECIAL
NT PRESENT AT
NOON LUNCHEON

H. Sandburn, Poultry Specialist for
the states of Colorado and Utah, was
visitor at the Noon-day luncheon
held by the business men of this city
yesterday at the Brown Hotel Cafe,
and favored the gathering with very
interesting talk on the poultry indus
try briefly outlining the various
phases Of the work now in progress to
increase poultry production, in order
to assist the government in conserving
the meat supply. He pointed out the
many advantages which would be de-
rived by increased poultry production,
whereby poultry and eggs may be used
as substitute for meat, and stated
that beyond doubt this would be a
most important factor in overcoming
the shortage of the meat supply in the
nation.
Mr.. Sandburn made an appeal to
those present to lend their cooperation
in the movement for a greater poultry
production during the coming year.
County Agent w. J. OFT and County
Food Administrator G. s. Kinsman
are to have charge of the work in
Sedgwick county, and it was suggest
ed by Mr.. Sandburn that prizes be Of
fered to poultry raisers for best re-
suits obtained. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Sandburns' talk, several questions
were asked of him, and motion was
in order, seconded and carried that the
Julesburg Commercial Club adopt a
resolution to the effect that the organ
ization cooperate with the County
Agent and the County Food Admins
TRAITOR in this work. Mr.. Sandburn's
talk was appreciated by all present. :
County Agent w. J. OFT was present
at yesterdays gathering, and favored
the business men with short talk rel
ative to the county fair in Sedgwick
county. He impressed the fact that
the fair could be made a beneficial
and educational enterprise in the mat
ter of furthering agricultural interests
as we'll as commercial, by concentrat-
ing considerable effort along the lines
of agricultural exhibits. Mr.. OFT ex-
pressed his desire to assist in every
possible manner for a successful fair
to be held in Sedgwick county this
year.
Owing to the fact that Chairman B.
D. Parker was out Of town yesterday,
the matter of further discussion and
making plans for a county fair to be
held next fall was laid over until next
Wednesdays luncheon, at which time
it is expected that the committee ap-
pointed at last weeks luncheon will
make their report.
w. M. Labaree, in his usual efficient
manner, acted as chairman at yester-
days meeting.

Between the hours of six and nine
O'Clock last Sunday evening, the H. O.
Virgins store in this city was broken
into and burglarized, the robber or
robbers getting away with consider
able merchandise, such as two suits
Of clothes, pair of shoes, overcoat,
gloves, travelling bag, and probably
other articles in the clothing line,
In fact the thief fitted himself opt
with an entire new outfit, and took
some extra for good measure.
The robbery was discovered about 9
o'clock by Mr.. Virgins, who had been
called down to the store by Mr.. Dun
lap, who wished to procure an article
or SO of clothing before leaving the
following morning for Illinois, where
he had been called on account of the
death of his mother. Mr.. Wiggins
upon opening the store Immediately
noticed that clothing was scattered
around premiscuously, there being
twenty or more suits lying in heap
on the floor. Upon further investi-
the windows at the top of the west
wall in the store had been broken into,
the robber having made his entrance
and exit by this means. An old coat
and pair of overalls were also found,
visitor having made change of
clothing. There was $500 in the
cash register which was open but
this was untouched.
Mr.. Virgins being fully convinced
that the store had been robbed, i'm
mediately notified Sheriff Humber
stone and Marshal Tempfeton, and
then made thorough search of the
store building, but the intruder had
made his get away. Shortly after
ward Sheriff Thunderstorm sent
number of messages to North Platte,
Grand Island, Sidney, Cheyenne, etc.
notifying the authorities at the var
ious places to be on the lookout for
young man, whom the officers here
are positive committed the robbery,
they having identified the coat and
overalls as belonging to stranger,
who had been here for two or three
days previous to last Sunday, and had
told Marshall Templeton that he lived
in Grand Island.
The officers have made every ef-
fort to apprehend this young man,
but up until the time we go to press,
the robber has not been taken into GUS
tody, but perhaps will be within a
short time, as the authorities are hot
on the trail.

HUNTING IS GOOD
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE
GAME COMMISSION.

Pierre, Nov. 25.-The annual re-
port of the state game commission
indicates that the hunting conditions
in the state after the enforcement of
the new game law were better than
for many years. There was a short
age in the northeastern part of the
state, but this is attributed largely to
the increased area under cultivation.
In the western part of the state
grouse and prairie chicken were more
numerous than for many years past.
But the greatest change noticeable
vas in the duck shooting as the I'M
molested duck ponds of the state,
breeding a large number of ducks
which were old enough to be strong
on the wing before the opening of
the season, and the hunting of water
fowl was better than it has been for
years.

ELECTRIC LIGHT USERS.

An appeal to the citizens of Mad
ison to refrain from using their cleo
trio lights in their residences until
after 6 o'clock p. IN.
The merchants have generously Of
fered to close at 6 p. IN. Let us be
patriotic and do our bit in return and
let the stores and users of motors
have all the juice until 6 D. m. In
this way the citizens will be doing a
double duty, helping the stores and
users of motor power for business
these short days and also relieving
already overloaded temporary
plant. The plant is municipal and
we are all interested. If we all pull
together and do our bit we will get
along nicely. Smile at inconven-
fences for a short time for we will
soon have good lights again now that
the war is over and Diesel repairs on
the return trip. Thanking you all
for a hearty cooperation with the
city commission. Respectfully.-Jas.

Died TODAY
AWAY AT THE EMER-
GENCY HOSPITAL,

Mrs. Chas. Haversaac, well known
in Madison in the early days of the
city at Miss Mae Hunt, died of pneu-
monia at the East Hall emergency
hospital at 6 o'clock this morning.
The remains were removed to Hal
lenbeck's undertaking rooms and
prepared for burial and from which
place the funeral will be held at a
date to be announced upon receipt
of word whether or not her brother,
Geo. Hunt, of Chicago, will be able
to attend.
Mrs. Hayersaac was taken to the
hospital last Tuesday night suffer-
ing from influenza which developed
into pneumonia. She had spent the
previous week at the hospital nurs-
ing her brother, E. w. Hunt, who
died of pneumonia Sunday morning,
December II.
Mae Hunt was born in Darlington,
Eng, SO years ago. She was brought
to the United States by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hunt, of Ramona,
when she was one year of age. The
family located at Egan upon their
arrival in this country. They came
to Madison in 1887 where the de-
ceased passed her girlhood. Upon
her marriage she removed with her
husband to Fremont, o., where they
resided until last spring when they
returned to this city to enable Mrs.
Haversaac to be near her aged par
cuts who a few years ago removed
from this city to Ramona. Mr.. Hav-
ersaac is an employe of the Milwau-
kee railway company in this city.
Deceased is survived by her husband,
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hunt, one
sister, Mrs. Ben Bass, of Beach, N.
D.: three brothers, Harry Hunt, of
Eaton, Sask., Can; John Hunt, of
Wentworth, and Geo. Hunt, of Chi
cago. Harry Hunt and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bass arrived in the city last week to
attend the funeral of their brother,
e. w. Hunt and are called upon to
experience a second bereavement.

A Big LAWSUIT
TRIAL OF CIVIL CASE In FED
ERAL COURT.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 25.-Recovery
IN two promissory notes aggregating
together with interest, approximate
ly $4,000 is sought by the Scandi-
navian American National bank, of
Minneapolis, now the Midland Ma
tional bank, from the Farmers Land,
Loan & Grain company, Of Freeman,
in an important civil action, trial of
which commenced in the United
States district court here before
Judge Elliott.
The case is strongly contested and
the defendants include some well
known Hutchinson county farmers.
A large number of witnesses are
present and it will likely occup the
attention Of the court for several
days.
According to the complaint and
evidence adduced today, in August
and September, 1916, two notes ag-
gregating $4,000 were given by the
defendant company to the grain COM
mission firm of Stair, Christensen &
Zimmerman, of Minneapolis. The
latter sold the notes to the plaintiff
bank which was unable to realize up
on them.
The defense claims that part of the
signatures to the notes were forgeries
signed by officers or agents of the
grain company and that on account
of being given for a board of trade
transaction, are not collectable.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-11-25

believe will work out not in excess
of $4,000.
The official figures show also
nearly double the number of deaths
FROM disease that have been made
public to date. No explanation has
been forwarded by Gen. Pershing,
but it is assumed that the unexpected
increase is due to the wide distribu-
ton of American and Allied hospitals
to which the men were sent, making
1T a slow process to assemble the
data.
The number of Americans taken
prisoner by the Germans-little more
than 2,OOO-is s~trikingly low in view
of Gen. March's announcement thai a
total in round numbers" of $4,000
Germans had been captured by the
Americans. The fact that the Amer
lean armies have been moving for
ward continuously since they en-
tered the battle zone doubtless ac-
counts for the great difference. The
1,160 men reported as missing prob
ably include others who will be
found to have been captured. The
classification also covers the uniden-
titled dead, always to be expected
when great bodies of troops are en-
gagged.
