CASE is POSTPONED

Fred Tennigkeit who has been
here for about week to attend
court, returned this morning to his
home in Burlington, Colo. Fred
has two cases in court against Au-
dubon county that were supposed to
have come to trial at the present
term, but the petit Jury having
been dismissed the cases will be
continued until the December term.
While, here Fred said it was re-
ported that he had gotten into trou-
BILE in Burlington. He says he did
file a snit for damages against a
real estate firm and LAWYER who
tried some rough stuff on him last
spring when they beat him up and
injured him Internally because he
refused to come across with $500 he
had on deposit in Burlington bank
awaiting the completion of the deal.
He says the lawyer who was here to
make a supposed investigation had
to come here for sympathy for he
has none at Burlington according to
Fred's statement Fred saws he is
going to push his case for damages
for he will not stand for abuse, es-
pecially when an attempt is made in
a high handed way to secure money
unlawfully. He says the attack the
men made on him was wholly unwar-
ranted

DON'T PATRoNIZE SOL
EDITORS IN UNIFORM

Carroll was visited Monday by
three men, two wearing army uni
forms, and another dressed as a sail
or with discharge chevrons on their
left sleeves. The men were making
a house to house canvass selling
some pamphlets and small booklets.
Such men should be Stunned and ig-
nored They wear the uniform to
play upon peoples sympathies and
should neither be patroniZed nor
treated respectfully. Uncle Sans
uniform is the mark of a soldier and
the ex-soldiers who go about in uni
form peddling books or other articles
after discharge are grossly abusing
the uniform. Under the present law
discharged man is permitted to
wear the uniform at any time II the
red discharge chevron is worn. Many
kind hearted persons do not know or
notice the red chevron and out OF
sympathy give to these grafters in
uniform and buy their worthless ar
ticles. The man who is using the
uniform for commercial purposes as
the ex-soldiers were doing Monday is
to be easily despised. Every man
who has left the service has been
given his $50 bonus and five cents a
mile travel pay. People should not
let these persons play on their sym
pathies foTfthey are nothing more
than grafters pure and simple. With
the present scarcity Of men in all
lines of work a man who CONNER
cializes the uniform is nothing but a
scamp and is not deserving of the
honor attached to being a man who
served his country. Herald.

HAD AUTOMOBILES ACCIDENT

Alex Ferguson who went TO Yuma,
Colo. last week with Clarence
Shingledecker of Gray, returned to
his home here yesterday. Mr.. Fer
guson met with minor auto acci-
dent few days ago that has chang
ed his appearance. One evening
while he and Mr.. Shingledecker
were returning from the farm in
their truck they met another truck
head-on in the road. Neither one
of them had their lights on and the
result was a bad smash up. Mr..
Ferguson was badly cut about the
head and received other bruises
while Mr.. Shingledecker sustained
a sprained knee. The men in the
other car were only slightly injur-
ed. Both trucks however were
badly demolished. Mr. Ferguson
was taken to physician where his
wounds were dressed and as soon as
1t was advisable for him to travel,
he returned home. At first sight
one would imagine that Alex had
been in fight but on second thought
you would change your mind for
Alex would hang the worst of it
onto the other fellow. His face is
bandaged and his eyes are swollen
but aside from that he is alright.
Here's hoping he will fully recover.

ATTORNEY WHITE INSISTS HE

Chas. S. White returned brown

Western Canaan this year are

thorized, unwarranted and without
foundation. II am just as enthusi-
astic about Canada and her future

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
CONDITION BETTER
NATION AT LARGE GREATLY
CONCERNED REGARDING
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

The report published by the
Providence Journal concerning the
nature and gravity of the presidents
illness is somewhat fortified by the
fact that official bulletins have
avoided definite statement. The
public therefore will draw the nat
ural conclusion that at best the pres
ident is passing through serious
ordeal and is not likely to be able
to take up his heavy official duties
for some time. II this is not GER
tain or, at any rate, very probable,
the nation should have been so in
formed in a candid and explicit
statement. If it is certain or even
very probable. there should be no
postponement of the decision as to
the exercise of the executive func-
lions ad interim If there is any
doubt as to the constitutional meth
cd, the justices of the supreme court
should be consulted at once. In such
momentous case they will undoubt-
eddy give consideration without the
routine of formal adjudication The
method of determining whether sue
cession is necessary, at least in the
.absense of action by the executive
himself, is a question that cannot
be seriously troublesome at a time
when all concerned must earnestly
wish to avoid any lapse of executive
authority or any further delay in
the dispatch of administrative bust
ness.
There is, therefore, no excuse for
procrastination the moment medical
authority comes to a decision as to
the prospects of the presidents
speedy restoration to activity. The
Providence Journal notes report
that Mr.. McAdoo is now acting
with the cabinet and that Mr.. House
will join him later, the two combin-
ing to carry on the presidents pol
icies. OF course il there is any
basis in this report 1t would be
quickly resented and stingingly re-
buked by the press and public of the
entire country. Neither Mr.. Nc
Adoo nor Mr.. House has or ever had
any commission whatever from the
citizens of the United States, and We
are not so Indifferent as to accept a
self-imposed ldummvirate in lieu of
our own government. But the re-
port indicates the desirability of the
earliest possible Qualification of the
situation.

Hansen desiring to open the store at

other party can come. Mr.. Hansen
now owns three large scores, one at
Elk Horn, one at Kimballton and
the store here. In another column
of today's Republican Mr.. Hansen
has an announcement to the pub

SCENE OF A MERRY CROWD
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

The "big curcus" staged at the
high school gymnasium by home
talent, and cleverly worked out by
the Columbian Club, last Friday ev-

view point. The attendance was
unusually large and the proceeds
were beyond all expectations. After
paying all expenses the Club will
have a profit of about $3.50.
The circus opened with a parade,
as all first-class circuses do and Mrs.
w. w. Smith verycreditably filled the
position of ring master. There we're
all kinds of Notwithstanding
wooden horses, and all of them were
traihed-to amuse.
DIR. r. f. Childs, f. S. Van Gorder,
Glenn Turner and DR.. j X. Donald
son were disguised as dancing girls
and made distinct hit in their
roles. Frank McFadden, Paul Wolf,
and DR.. Halloran also made hit.
The dancing by Mrs. Jensen and
Earl Garoutte was of high order
and bordered on the professional, all
of which helped to amuse and en-
terrain the big crowd that was out
to "do the circus"

X. Viewer put on boxing match
that attracted much attention and
all say the boys "drew better" than
any sideshow The trapeze work
by Annish Ashby and Alice Viewer
brought forth round after round of
applause The little girls certainly
filled their part Of the program to
perfection.
The jazz orchestra and other mu-
steal burlesque brought the great
evening performance to close.
The big crowd had seen all the
stunts, ate ice cream, drank lemon
ade, and was ready to go home fully
satisfied that the home circus" after
all was far superior to any of the
big circuses that travel from one
end of the world to the other.
The proceeds will be used to de-
fray the expense of keeping two Ar

NEW MORTGAGE LAW

One of the new laws which went
into effect on July LIST which is of
interest to the general public is the
new law in regard to recording chat
tel mortgages. Heretofore ohattel
mortgages were recorded in full on
the records, the fee ranging from
20 cents up according to the length
of the mortgage. Under the new
law the person holding the chattel
mortgage takes it up to the county
recorder who files the original
mortgage and places the mortgage
on an index record. giving the
owner a receipt for the mortgage.
and when the mortgage is satisfied
the party files a release of the mort
gage and it is returned to them.
thus eliminating the entire matter
from the records. The fee for fl
inc chattel mortgages under the new
Law will be only rs cents. Real
estate mortgages will be recorded
the same as in the past. The new
system has been used L.. Minnesota
and the Dakotas for several years
and seems to be giving entire salts
