FOR SQUIRREL HUNTERS

There has been much confusion iii
reference to the open season for hunt
ing squirrels under the present law.
This is due to the fact that last fall
the legislature provided for an open
season on this animal from Aug. 20
to Sept. 20. After the >holidays,
however, the season was changed
from Sept. 20 I'd Oct. 20. So hunters
in getting theif licenses from County
Clerk Frazier should see that the
former dates are properly changed to
We later ones.

reports of plan to rescue him from
the hospital.

been seen driving about the hospital,
and officers are inclined to believe
there is something to the alleged plan
to rescue Kelley.
thorities last night wired the Nebraska

tentiary hospital at Lincoln.
Kelley was taken from the hospital
to the county Jail today by local Of

Before He Had Prospects of Ascending Throne.

has refused to confirm or deny this re-
port.
King Alexander's marriage is said
to have been the elimination of a boy
hood friendship. and occurred before
he was in direct line to the throne
and while his chances for succeeding
his father appeared most remote
The king and his wife are living at
the same hotel here and yesterday
went to Versailles, where they had
luncheon together and visited the gar
dens.
Reports here impute the kings visit
to Paris to a desire on the part of Pre-
mier Venizelos of Greece for a separa-
ton of the king from his reputed
morganatic wife so that he may marry
a princess of royal blood The king is
said to have eft Athens quite in ac-
cord with his premier's point of view,
but is declared to have undergone a
change of mind since his arrival here.
The marriage ceremony, it is assert
ed, was performed by a priest of the
Greek church but was not recorded
with the Metropolitan of Athens the
supreme ecclesiastical authority in
Greece. This is the explanation for
the fact that no record Of the cere-
mony is available.
