NATIONAL GUARDS ARE HOME

The Audubon National Guard
unit which attended the state en-
campment at Des Moines the past
ten days, returned home last even
ing. The unit returned with a full
equipment A special train brought
the forty-two men and the officer
home about seven o'clock last night.
The company marched from the de-
pot to the school house, where they
disbanded. The company was full
of pep and made things lively on the
streets for awhile. Several hundred
people were at the depot to welcome
the boys back home. They gave
good account of themselves while in
camp and the boys are very enthus-
iastic ever their first experience.
Audubon is going to have a good
company and the people OF the COM

the encouragement they need.

MURDER TRIAL IN ATLANTIC
Two Bandits Who Killed Page Coun-
~ Sheriff, in February, On
Trial for Their Life.

Participants in friendly game
OF craps at Shenandoah on Feb. IL,
last, Tuesday recounted in the Cass
county district court in Atlantic the
hold-up of the game and the subse-
quent killing of Albert Patton, Page
courty sheriff. and identI.i,i Ar
thur and Ben Hickman, on trial for
the murder OF Patton. as the men
who stopped the game at the points
of revolvers and relieved the players
of their valuables.
The Jury, which was completed
Monday evening, was composed of
nine farmers, two merchants and a
clerk.
J. F. Bloom, Harley Mace, Lacey
Mckee, w. H. Atwood and other
witnesses identified the defendants
as the pair who staged the hold-up
in the railroad yards at Shenandoah.
Mckee brought laugh from the au-
dience when he told of the generos-
ity of the bandits. They had taken
all his money and he asked them to
leave him enough for supper. They
returned a dollar. Mckee said he
had tried to hold out on the bandits
but without success. They took SOS
frem him. Atwood lost $50 to the
bandits. He and Mckee were the
heaviest losers in the hold-up. The
killing Of Patton was described by
the witnesses Atwood and ]. p. Gar
rett, city marshall of Shenandoah.
Both were positive Patton fell fol-
lowing the first shot fired, and
which, said the witnesses, came from
the pile Of ties near the station at
Bingham, to which place Patton and
his companions had gone to capture
the hold-up bandits. AS the train
pulled into Bingham, Atwood recog-
nized the Hickmans walking along
the track, so he testified. It is the
contention of the state that the Hick-
mans took refuge behind the pile Of
ties and shot the deputy sheriff.
Atwood admitted that he became
very excited" after the first shot
had been fired and that he sought
safety on the train. Garrett says
Patton fell following the flash OF a
gun from the direction Of the tie
pile and expired almost Immediately.
In his opening statement to the
jury Attorney Hess. for the de-
tense, declared the state must
prove conclusively which of the two
Hickmans, IL either. fired the shot
which killed Patton. In case the
state fails in this the jury must find
the defendants not guilty, the at
torney declared.

REV. MACK TO LEAVE

Rev. VIM. Mack, who has been
the pastor Of the Audubon Presby-
terrain church the past four or five
years, has been elected to fill the
pulpit Of the Presbyterian church at
Atlantic, taking the place of Rev.
]. X. Driver, who recently resigned
his pastorate from that church.
Rev. Mack has been away on his
vacation and was not at home to be
interviewed. How soon the change
is to be made we have been unable
to learn, but it is quite likely that
he will preach HIS farewell sermon
in a short time. Audubon people
will regret to learn of his determi-
nation to leave the city, but wish
him the best of success in his new
location.

VIOLA FARM BUREAU PICNIC

A large cpwd gathered at the
Earl Dawson grove in Viola town
shipj Tuesday to attend the Farm
Bureau picnic. The threatening
weather kept many from coming as
early as they had expected. but by
the time the program began, a large
crowd had assembled. The feature
of the day was che splendid address
by l.. S. Fisher. of Edgewood. He
gave the farmers an address worth
while.
After the picnic dinner large
and varied program was carried out
and each one did himself and her
self proud. The ball game proved
to be big drawing card. Two
teams were pitted against each 9TH
er and players from different town
ships were drafted into the game.
The Viola Farm Bureau members
are live wires and presented pro-
gram Tuesday that was really worth
while.

a seven-months' sentence in the
county jail, was taken with an acute
attack of appendicitis Saturday and
taken Immediately to Council Bluffs
where he was operated on by DR..
Rosenbladt. AT last reports he was
getting along as we'll as could be
expected. He will probably not be
in hurry about getting back to
Audubon, for his hospital fare will
no dosbt be more TO his liking than
his confinement in jan. 1t is pre-
sumed that he will be returned to
the custody of Sheriff Jorgensen as
soon as he Is able to leave the hos
pital.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G..

was the scene of happy gathering
last Saturday afternoon. The occa-

accumulated enough of this worlds
goods to live in comfort. They are
among the best citizens of the town
and take pride in doing their share
for the advancement and welfare of
the community. Mr.. and Mrs. Fish
err are members of the Methodist

been one of the church trustees.
Saturdays gathering was indeed
an enjoyable event. Here was

by close personal friends. At the
close of the dinner hour, Rev. Ed B.
Cousins, in very happy way, voic-
ed the sentiment of all present, in a
short talk. closing his remarks with
the following few lines:
Golden Wedding Greeting
You have gained a happy climax
The favored few attain;
Yet, we rejoice to realize,
Our loss becomes your gain.
The cordial love we bear you
BY word cannot be told;
Just as a fond remembrance,
Accept this bit of gold;
With various gifts from other
friends,
And all good cheer this day por-
tends.
In the little gift box was $55 in
gold, as a token of remembrance and
the high esteem in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Fisher are held by their friends.
