TWO ARE HURT

JAMES WARRICK THROWN FROM CART AND HORSE RAN OVER LITTLE DORIS WARRUM.

HORSE WAS INJURED.

An exciting and spectacular runaway of a race horse occurred Thursday morning about 7:30 o'clock on Pennsylvania street, which resulted in James Warrick, the driver, and a little girl, Doris Warrum, being injured and the cart and harness being broken.

James Warrick, a well known horseman, was exercising Mack, Frank Boots' horse, when he became frightened at a dog at the corner of North and Pennsylvania streets, •opposite the righ school building. When the horse started to run and turned sharply around the corner onto Pennsylvania street, one wheel •of the cart struck a rock and the cart was partly upset. Mr. Warrick was thrown out, alighting on his head, in front of the M. H. Gant i|home. The horse ran on down

Pennsylvania street, running one wheel of the cart over the cart in /which Virgil Jeffries was riding. At ^Pennsylvania and South streets, the i&horse ran up onto the lot of T. I.

Morgan, striking a cherry tree and freaking loose from the cart, ip Little Doris Warrum, the five-

"year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. vPerry Warrum, of 319 South Pierson ssstreet, was walking north with her

to the children to run to the Morgan house and had the horse continued 'on a straight course, they would chave been safe, but the horse swerved towards the house and ^vetruck the little girl with his knee ..knocking her about twenty feet, but she did not seem to be seriously hurt, although it may be several hours before the extent of her in-

Juries can be determined. The little boy was not injured, as he was jahead of the girl and reached a safe place. "v The horse seemed to be crazed "v wnth fright and ran through a rose v-' harbor, made of inch gas pipe, .breaking the pipes square off. He also broke the clothes line down and .ran through a solid board fence, six

high, as if it had been made of straw. He was caught on the Offutt "Vlot, east of the Morgan property.

LETTER

BY WILLIAN HOPE

Prairie Land Worth $15 to $30 When He Went There, Now Worth $150 to $300—Indians and

Other Subjects.

William Hope, who went to Osceola, Nebraska, twenty-five years ago, writes to renew his subscrip-' tion to The Weekly Republican, which he says he appreciates very much, and continues as follows: "Some Eastern people imagine that Indians run wild in the West, and ptrhaps a few words about this part of Nebraska would be of interest. Indians are to be found only on reservations and occasionally one may be found giving lectures on the Chautauqua platform. "I came to Nebraska twenty-five years ago when part of it was prairie, worth $15 to $30 an acre. Today the same land sells from $150 to $300 an acre. The soil is a dark loam and the composition is such that water immediately sinks into the ground. None is lost except at times of dashing rains. Crops are better able to withstand droughts, since the water is soaked up instead of being carried off into ditches. "In spite of the dry spell the last of July and the first of August, crops are good. Some parts were damaged, but most fields of corn will yield from thirty-five to fifty bushels per acre. Wlieat will average fifteen to thirty-five bushels. Oats are a fair crop. One of our great crops is alfalfa, which yields four and five cuttings in a season. It is a great feed for all kinds of live stock. "Trees have been set out and to pass through the country it would seem that there is as much timber here as in Indiana. Because of the above fact, blizzards and snowstorms do not amount to much. Our winters are usually mild. "Nearly every farmer has an auto. All of our roads are sixty-four feet wide, in accordance with the state law, and are like a pavement when dry, where they are graded. We have good roads nearly all the year.

A. E. Leary, of Kansas City, ansas, who is visiting relatives and friencls in Hancock county, was in town Thursday afternoon with his uncle, Willis Leary. Mr. Leary was born and reared in Hancock county, but left here in 1881, and this is his second visit to his boyhood home. He carries mail to the stockyard exchange at Kansas City, but went to Montreal, Canada, to take several car loads of horses for the British government, and then came to his old home.
