NEBRASKA NEWS NOTES IN BRIEF Recent Happenings in Nebraska Given in Brief Items For Busy Readers The new $60,000 Y. M. C. A. building at McCook is being rapidly subscribed. Suffering a stroke of paralysis while in a dentist's chair, E. F. Ruch, fifty-six, resident of York county for fifty-two years, is dead. John Peacock, Burchard's last civil war veteran, is dead at his home in that place. He fell and broke his hip on Christmas day. School teachers at Fairbury will read the bible daily in their classrooms. No comment by teacher or pupils will be permitted. Fire, believed to have started from a defective flue, destroyed the Burlington depot at Hoag. Most of the contents of the building were consumed. Value of building constructed and started in 1924 in Omaha totals $12,268,858. This has been exceeded in one year only, according to city records. The $5,000 home of Jean Ledehoff at Fremont was entirely destroyed by fire, the nine members of the family being forced to flee in their night clothing. W. E. Sparrow of Sidney, crashed thru a large plate glass window when the brakes on the car he was driving failed to work and he crashed over the curb into a window. Miss Carrie Hesseltine, formerly a teacher in the Broken Bow High school, but for the past seven years engaged in missionary work in India, is home on furlough. Dr. Oliver Everett, Lincoln, hasn't missed a Husker football game in nineteen years. He has seen every contest at home and has accompanied the squad on every trip. Knox county board of supervisors has bought a large snow plow to be used in clearing the main roads. The machine clears a path 21 feet wide and requires a powerful tractor. Opening, by drilling, the safe of John W. Conley, deceased, of Broken Bow, Judge Ford, administrator, found $6,800 in money and $500 in Liberty bonds. Conley died July 30. Paul Jessen, former district judge of Nebraska City was elected president of the Nebraska State Bar association at the closing session of the annual convention at Omaha. The Cozad Commercial club pledged its quota of $370 toward the maintenance of a farm bureau agent in Dawson county, to carry on activities among women-folk of the county during 1925. Five hundred and thirty rabbits were killed by 60 hunters of the Chappel district in a community hunt, with a view to ridding the country of animals that are doing much damage to crops and trees. A trip to Scotland was the surprise Christmas gift of the Rev. D. K. Miller, popular Presbyterian pastor at Cedar Bluffs, from his flock of 250 at the Christmas tree exercises. Mr. Miller is a native of Scotland. According to local weather officials, December, 1924, was one of the five coldest Decembers recorded in the fifty-two years on record in the state. Twelve sub-zero days were recorded in the present month. Omaha is the third corn market in America. It is the first primary grain market, receiving more grain shipped directly from the farm than any other city. As a market for all grains Omaha ranks sixth in the nation. The amount of grain received in that market exceeded 67,000,000 bushels in 1923. Sixteen women's clubs of Scottsbluff country have signified their intentions of joining the extension course projects of the farmer's union this year and seventeen boys' and girls' club are also enrolled. The Newcastle State bank and the Homer State bank, in northeast Nebraska, are two of the eight failed banks throughout the state which have failed whose receivers have succeeded in turning some of the assets into cash so that money amounting to nearly a quarter of a million of dollars is being turned into the state guarantee fund. Morris Steinke, 40, escaped inmate of the state hospital at Hastings, walked twenty-four miles to his home at Shelton. His feet were so badly frozen that it may be necessary to amputate them. Fire shortly before noon Christmas day, destroyed the beautiful home of August Reinking at Papillion. The home and contents were valued at $38,000. It was one of the show places of Papillion and the surrounding country, two stories high, finished in black walnut, and had thirty-two rooms. Constructed in 1880, it had long been a landmark. Clarence L. Freye, thirty-six, Elk City farmer, was instantly killed at his home when the gas tank of his lighting plant exploded. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. The metropolitan utilities district, supplying gas to Omaha and suburbs, announced its Christmas greetings in the form of a substantial reduction in the price of gas to householders. M. W. Bowen of Keyston and his younger daughter were asphyxiated and his wife and elder daughter are in a serious condition from the effects of gas from the heating stove in the Bowen home.
