RED OAK MAN SHOT
Had Been Out With Other Men
Raiding a Water Melon
Patch Near Town.

Carl Coomb, of Red Oak, was shot
three times, once through the leg,
through the right arm and two times
in the back Monday night while on a
water melon raid north of Red Oak
He is in the hospital 1t is thought
his injuries will not prove fatal I'M
less complications arise.
Carl Coomb and two othar young
men employed on the Malot: ranch,
north Of Red Oak, were out in a
Ford in search of melons. They were
just coming out of VERNE Peterson's
patch when a large touring car came
down the road. They started off
ahead of the big car at good speed,
but the big car followed close behind
Instead of stopping where they lived
they drove on for hals mile and
turned into lane, expecting the big
car to pass on. The big car stopped
and one of the occupants ran down
the lane to where the Ford had
stopped and climbing upon the run
ming boards exclaimed, II show you
for stealing melons," and fired five
shots into the back seat Of the car
three Of the shots hitting Coombs.
The shooting took place four miles
from where they came out of the
melon patch.
Officers working on the case have
been unable TO learn who did the
shooting. The affair took place in a
neighborhood where the best of feel
ing existed and it was plain from
inquiries of the officers that an eff
fort is being made to shield the par
ty guilty of the shooting. Several
young men are under suspicion and
arrest may be made at any time.
Coomb is a married man with a
wife and four children and came to
the county a few years ago from
Missouri. He lived in one of the
tenant houses on the Malott ranch.
His reputation has been good here
tofore and only last week won the
prize for riding bucking steers at the
farmers picnic at Stennett.
Vernie Peterson, owner of the
patch, has no idea who did the
shooting, his sons being absent from
home that evening attending an en-
tertainment.

THE NORTH Side
GETS ITS REVENGE
ADMINISTERS DECISIVE DEFEAT
TO sOUTH-sIDERS WHO WON
GAME TWO WEEKS AGO.

The business men OF the North
Side, who challenged the business
men of the South Side for a return
game Of base ball, administered a
decisive defeat at game staged az
the fair grounds yesterday after
noon. The score stood 23 to 10 at
the close of the game.
Two weeks ago the South Siders
were victorious over the North Sid
ers, but the victors made too many
brags about their ability. When the
challenge was issued early in the
week it was readily accepted, with
the thought in mind that the vic
tory of two weeks ago could be cas-
lily duplicated.
The North Siders contended all
along they could defeat the South
Siders and were willing to give them
the first game in order to get them
into second game to prove they
were not as proficient as they let
on.
A large crowd was out to witness
yesterdays game and from the APP
plause given the players II was plain
to be seen that the North Siders
were the favorites.
The North Side aggregation kept
their best players in the background
for the return game. The South
Siders put in their best men in the
first game and had nothing in re-
serve for yesterdays game.
Tim Mccarthy is one of the real
base ball fans of Audubon. He said
he witnessed both games. In the
first game the vfctors used the spit
ball, the in-curve, the outrcurve and
all of the curves at their command,
but it remained for the victors Of
yesterdays game to produce the big
card up their sleeve. The feature
Of yesterdays game was the pitching
of Harry Conklin, and Mccarthy said
If it hadn't ben for Harry's gum
drop" the score would have been an
entirely different story. DR.. Hallor-
an, who held the mound for the
South Siders, was hit pretty hard.
The only comment the doctor would
make on the game was that the UNI
pire called all of his good curves
balls, when they were the prettiest
kind of strikes.
Now that each ode has won a
game it IS more than likely that the
rubber" will be played off before
long. A third game will have to be
played in order to determine which
side has the best ball players.
The attendance yesterday was not
as large as at the first game, but
the proceeds, which amounted to
about $50 were turned over to the
American Legion, for which they are
grateful.
The Legion stood sponsor for the
baseball team this year, but on &C
count of the light attendance the
team went into the hole pretty bad.
In fact there is still deficit and this
amount should be wiped out before
the close Of the season.

CRESCENT THEATRE SOLD

A deal was consumated few days
ago whereby Harry Kester purehas-
cd the equipment of the Crescent
Theatre from Dan Nelson, the own
or. He also rented the building for
a period of years, the transfer of the
property to take place about the first
OF September.
On account of Mr.. Nelson's i'll
health he was compelled to dispose
of the business. Mr.. Hester has
been operating the machine for sew
eral years, first under the owner
ship of the Preston Brothers and lat
err for Mr.. Nelson. He is familiar
with the moving picture business
and will be in position to give the
patrons of his theatre the very best
kind of service.
Mr.. Kester will make some
changes and improve the service
wherever possible. He has decided
to make a big opening night on the
evening of Monday, Sept. 5th. When
interviewed yesterday he said he had
nothing to say at this time but hop
ed to be able to give the public more
definite information next week.
The Republican wishes Mr.. Kest-
er all kinds of success in his bus
mess venture.

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

JUN nOTSeu LOuu6F, ueCedSeu,
was born the. 23rd of June, 1872, at
Lohner, in the district of Tordal,
Norway. Together with his cousin,
]. B. ]. Lohner, of Extra, he immi-
grated to this country in the year
1898 and located at Hamlin, Iowa.
Nine years later he married Miss
Sine Beck, daughter of Niels Beck,
of Extra, who is now left to mourn
his early death.
Mr.. Lohner is we'll known in this
community, where he spent most of
his time, having been engaged in
business for a number of years at
Extra, being once part owner Of the
store now operated by H. P. Peter
sen. From here he went to Oakland
Iowa, and then to Kirkman, Iowa,
where he had just engaged IN the
restaurant business, when his career
was cut short by his sudden death
early Saturday morning, by being
struck by a fast Great Western
train when he was crossing the track
near his home in an automobile.
The train crew picked him up and
hurried him to hospital in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, where he died Sunday
morning, the 14th of August, as a
result of the accident.
Mr.. Lohner was baptized in in
fancy into the Lutheran Church of
his native country, and was confirm
ed in that faith in the year 1886. In
this country he adhered to that de-
nomination, taking interest in the
erection of this church, in which his
earthly remains now for the last
time are seen.
Those Of the family left to mourn
his unexpected death, are, besides
his wife, their four children, John,
Ethel, Daniel and Minnie, ranging
from IS to IL years in age; two
brothers, Thomas, at Wetonka, S.
D. and Harold, in Norway; three
sisters, Asher, Signe and Anne, all
in the homeland. May our heart
felt sympathy console their sorrow,
and above all, may the love of Christ
even through this very severe af-
Fiction bring them the comfort that
surpasses all.
Mr.. Lohner was a loving husband
and a kind father, and his sudden
departure is a hard shock to the
little family. To all he was an hon
est friend and splendid companion
and will be sadly missed in our
midst Peace be with his dust.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Danish Lutheran church Tues
day afternoon, in charge of Rev. P.
c. Jensen. Interment was made in
the Extra cemetery.

decided to decline to accept the in
vitation. DIR. H. G. Rogers and J..
r. Wright are the bantam weights
who will also take a part in the aft
ernoon program.
John Budd has a good stunt he
wants to pull off but he said he did
