Assault With Intent to KIN


In the preliminary hearing before
Justice of the Peace c. w. Stuart,
Roy Taylor was held to the grand
jury on the charge of assault, with
intent to kill. Taylor was released
upon furnishing $500 bail The af-
fair happened at Lake Crabill. 1t
seems that Ray Schenck and Roy
Taylor had had some trouble a few
nights previous, and when they met
at the lake, trouble was renewed.
Taylor accused Schenck of stealing
some pads from his car, and was
standing on the running board of the
Schenck car when Schenck pushed
him off. Then Taylor fired shot.
Mrs. Guy Kerns and Miss Zelma An
derson were in the rear seat, Guy
Kerns and Schenck in the front The
bullet passed directly by Mrs. Kerns
and between the two men in front,
putting hole in the windshield, but
doing no. other damage. Taylor, in
the attempt to get away, turned his
Ford over twice in the cinder road
leading from the park, but managed
to reach his home southeast of Clar-
india. Herman Meyers took him to
Coin, where he boarded the Wabash
south. Meyers, learning he was
wanted, notified Sheriff Pennington
who phoned ahead and the constable
at Conception, Mo-, arrested Taylor,
Deputy Luster bringing him back to
town Monday. Taylor's home has
formerly been in Tennessee, but he
has been working on the Henry Nc

Creamery for Elk Horn

The stockholders of the West
Hamlin Creamery company met at
the creamery June 18th for the
purpose of deciding whether or not
the creamery should be removed
from its present location 20 Elk
Horn. A majority of those present
voted in favor of removing the
creamery to that town. Next Fri
day evening the directors of the
creamery company will meet with
the Elk Horn Commercial Club to
see what the town will offer in re-
gard to a suitable location for the
creamery. 1t is understood that
the commercial club has already
picked lots which will be an ideal
location for the creamery. The
club will undoubtedly meet the
farmers half way as it is interested
in anything that will be beneficial to
the town. other towns in the vi
cinity would also like to have the
creamery established there.
BY moving the creamery to Elk
Horn, the farmers will have less
hauling to do. The creamery is at
present located five miles from the
nearest town. and although some
farmers will have longer distance

Steal Herd of White Mule

Thieves broke into the drug store
at Bouton owned by Fred Loupe one
day last week and got away with a
barrel containing 40 gallons of real
white mule" known to the unin-
formed as grain alcohol. No trace
has been found of the guilty parties
yet. The thieves had evidently back
ed an automobile up to the rear of
the store and loaded up with alcohol
and then driven westward out of
Bouton. The tracks they made roll
ing the barrel out were plainly Wis
ible, and the car was traced to with
in a mile or two of Perry, but that
is as far as the officers could get in
their hunt. Several places in Perry
and the community have been
searched by the officers but there has
been no trace of the stuff. Loupe
kept it for use in his drug business,
in a medicinal way, but it isN not
probable that the present possessor
will use ii in the same way. With

$50 quart to the thirsty ones, there
is good profit in so gallons. especil-
ly when it does not cost anything in

Brings Fame to Self and Harlan

Miss Byrd Nelson, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. p. T. Nelson, arrived in
Harlan last week for a several
weeks visit with her parents and
other relatives. She had not been
home previously for five years. Miss
Nelson is Harlan girl who has
made good in a rather large way.
While she was school girl she pos
sessed considerable talent as vo-
calist, and after finishing school she
went to the city and made good as
professional. She is now leading
woman with the comapny which
manages the Metropolitan Opera
Company of New York, although her
forte is light opera and not grand
opera. She is under contract for
next year to sing the leading role in
a new production which will be put
on. She doesn't know even its title
and the title is not likely to be an
nounced until the opera is about
ready to be put on. Rehearsals
will be put on the second week in
August. After a tryout on Broad
way, the company will visit the lead
ing cities of the country from coast
to coast. Until time to begin work
on the part, Miss Nelson will remain
with her parents in Harlan.

The Milwaukee had another de-
railment accident last week when
ten cars of an east bound extra
freight train in charge of Conductor
Burnham were piled up at Defiance.
The accident happened about quar-
ter of a mile east of the passing
track switch. The derailed cars
consisted of three loads of wheat,
one of feed, one of lumber, one Of
oil. two tanks of wine and two emp
ty automobile cars.
The cause of the accident has not
been determined. No one was in
jured. The track was quite badly
torn up and several hours work was
necessary to clear the track. The
steam derrick crew from Perry was
ordered out as soon as the report
was received.
The next morning an extra stock
train, going east was leaving Perry
and truck broke on car of hogs,
dropping the car to the track. The
switch engine pulled the rear of the
train away and the head end was
switched over to the west bound
track and the train went forward
with but a short delay. The car of
hogs was transferred and the car
taken to the repair tracks for repairs.

so. Miss Grisell is a daughter of

Stole Fish Hooks and Were Sorry

TWO Sac City young men, aged
seven and eight years respectively
wanted to go fishing along the banks
of the Coon. They had no hooks.
also no money. Hence they visited
the Weary Hardware store and when
they were sure nobody was looking
appropriated some choice fish hooks,
Just the size for bull heads. Some
body saw, however, and, in a few
minutes, they were face to face with
Mayor f. l.. Ahrens.
With one culprit on each knee the
kindly mayor endeavored to explain
the nature of the crime and gradually
led up to the point where he thought
ii advisable to mention the word
"jail."
Jail? We can't go TO JAIL" one of
the lads said, 1--WE have to go to
practice for Sunday school pro-
gram"
Mayor Ahrens smiled and told his
prisoners to appear before him at a
certain hour two days later. No bail
was required. Precisely at the APP
pointed hour they returned. After
hearing another fatherly talk and
promising that never again would
they steal fish hooks, the would-be
fishermen were released.

smooth stranger Got Their Cash

Smooth Stranger Got Their Cash
Paying s450 for lots in Interna-
tional Falls, Mimi, touted as the
coming Industrial center of the
northwest, which same lots they af-
terward learned could be duplicated
for $50 each, was the way several
business men of Anita got rid of
some of their spare cash. 1t all goes
are liable to fall victims TO the wiles
of smooth tongued agent.
AS the story is told a well dressed
and affable stranger dropped into
Anita some moons ago and gained the
ear of several of the leading bust
ness men. Fe depicted the wonder
full possibilities of In emotional
Falls, Mimi, of the almost unlimit-
ed water power in the river there
and Of the probability of the town
becoming the manufacturing center
of the great northwest. II sounded
good and when he said that lots in
this bound to be the greatest town
on earth could be had for the mod
est figure of $3.50 he found his hear
ers reaching for their check books.
Fifty dollars down and a note for the
remainder made the proposition
seem doubly alluring.
He of the smooth tongue and af-
fable ways succeeded in disposing of
eight lots to about as many men. He
pocketed the fifty dollars each, CASH
ed the notes and left. Later one of
the men wrote to an attorney in In
ternational Falls, making inquiry as
to the portable value of the lots. He
received letter offering him all the
lots he wanted at $50 each. as good
lots as the Anita man had bought
from the stranger, said the letter.

L. S. Attitude ON
Foreign Trade Is
Attacked by Expert
Says American Interests in
Other Countries Are
Treate Indifferentlv:
Cooperation Is Urged

Closer cooperation between the Amer
lean government and the business peo-
pie of this country in the promotion Of
foreign trade was urged at dinner of
the Council on Foreign Relations at
the Hotel Astor last night Speakers
declared that one of the most serious
drawbacks to the expansion Of Ameri-
can foreign trade is the lack Of cohe
sion between the governments foreign
commercial service and the people who
must 90 into the markets of the world
to sell American wares.
Eliot W worth, an expert in for
oien trade. who returned recently from
abroad, told of many trade opportuni-
ties IN war riddled Europe He charged
tha. the American government was not
sufficiently interested in promoting and
protecting American business interests
in foreign countries.
The attitude Of our government
particularly in the last few years. to-
ward American money invested outside
of the country, has been one Of su-
nreme Indifference, said Mr.. Wads-
worth We have only TO look at our
relations with Mexico since the Diaz
government fell to satisfy any one that
American dollars and even American
citizens do not. when in trouble in a
foreign land. inspire any great anxiety
in Washington
Mr.. Wadsworth reviewed the eco
nomlc chaos prevailing in Europe as a
result OF the war and charged that the
many new political boundaries created
by the peace conference have made it
extremely difficult to grapple with the
conditions. He SAID that while the re-
cent suggestion Of credit Of $500 900
to the many European countries, par
ticularly those Of Central Europe,
struggling to get on their feet, would
be desirable. the real way out must be
sought in the private enterprise and
initiative of business men. He pleaded
for cooperation on the part OF the
government to enable American bust
ness men to go into these countries
and take full advantage of the trade
opportunities they afford.
Others who spoke were Wesley Frost,
foreign trade adviser of the Depart
ment OF State; Philip 3. Kennedy. di-
rector of the division Of foreign and do
mcsiic commerce of the Department Of
Commerce. who pleaded for more thor
ough organization of the work Of his
division and higher salaries and greater
security for its employees as means
Of increasing the efficiency of the serv-
ice. and William f. Collins, of the
