At a hearing in district court Tuesday before Judge Landis in the case of Joor against the People's State Bank of Maxwell, Iowa, the portion of the case which involved Miss Lottie O. Klotz, former clerk of the district court, was dismissed without prejudice. The plaintiffs endeavored to hold Miss Klotz liable for a fund of $8,581, paid in to her by agreement of parties while she was clerk of the court and which sum she had on deposit in the Saunders County National Bank in Wahoo when it failed. It appears that this money was a portion of the late Henry Long estate which had been held up in judgment against some of the heirs. Later the judgment in favor of the bank at Maxwell, Iowa, was reversed by the supreme court, and ordered paid to the heirs. In the meantime the money was lost in the failed bank. It appears now that there is a suit between the heirs and bank over the first dividend paid by the failed bank. Former County Judge in Court Judge G. N. Parmenter has been bound over to the district court in Dodge county on three charges of embezzlement for which he is charged in handling estates as administrato of the Knapp estates. His box was finex at $1,000 for each case. Believe It or Not. Gus Miller, superintendent of the State Reformatory, an his brother, Verne Miller, of the Remington Rand Co., of Omaha, were driving south of Wahoo one day last week, when they saw a strange objeet along the road. They stopped the car and got out and investigated. It was a cat with its head wedged tight in a salmon can. The cat was walking aimlessly about bobbing the can in the air. It was tired out completely and allowed Mr. Miller to pick it up. The can was wedged SO tightly that it was necessary to get a pair of pinchers and out away the side. After the cat was released it meowed 'thank you'' and disappeare in the weeds. Some one had bent the edges of the can inward after discarding it, SO it. made an ideal trap.

COUNTY SEAT NEWS (Wahoo Wasp) FATHER KILLED BY SON Corliss Earl Wood, 50, died Tuesday evening about 8:30 from the affects of a wound from a 410 guage shotgun, in a struggle with his son, 23. The family live on a farm sev en and a half miles east of Ceresco in section 26, Green preAccording to reports from the Sheriff's office, and those who called to the home, the father and son had been taking pretty liberally of some home brew which stood in an open jar in the basement. About 8 o'clock the son Curtis went to bed just off the kitchen, the father became rather violent, and picking up a small shotgun, mumbled that he would get the whole family. The mother and the wife of the son were outside on the porch, and Curtis got out of bed and rushed in to the kitcuen to prevent his father from carrying out his threat. It is said that he wrested the gun from his father and shot him in the chest. His father then took the gun away from him and rushed out in the yard. Curtis ran a half mile away to Bill Jacobs, a neighbor and phoned the sheriff that he had shot his father. Deputy Sheriff Hagstrom answered the call and was out there in a short time. Mr. Wood was found stretched out in the yard with the shotgun lying a short distance away while the elder Mrs. Wood was found in a swoon in a ditch by the roadside but Hagstrom. Mr. Wood had been a resi- dent of that neighborhood for a good many years. He was a vcry large man weighing around 325 pounds.

Between 500 and 600 wheat allotment contracts were sent in to Washington from Saunders county early this week. There are between 100 or 150 additional ones involving such cases as executorships, guardianships, absentee landlords, etc., which will follow within a week. The local committee did not feel that the latter should cause further delay to the majority. The Saunders county reports were among the first half in Nebraska to reach the Lincoln office for initial approval, but because of being held there several weeks, contract signing was somewhat delayed. However, now, with the shipment of completed confrats to Washington, it is believed that local farmers will receive their wheat checks very soon. Jos. F. Kaspar, J. F. Lubker and August Noerenberg of the County Allotment Committee, are well pleased with the manner in which applicants responded to last week's schedule for contract signing. Particularly puzzling cases were found among those of "absentee landlords", many of whom live In California, Washington, New York and other distant states, Since final contracts must bear original signatures, they had to be mailed and returned before final approval could be given. Plead Guilty to Stealing Wheat. District Judge Hastings was in Wahoo last Thursday and heard the comlaints and confessions of the two South Omaha men who were charged with stealing wheat in this county. The men were Frank Hert, 36, and Emil Chapik, 32. They pled guilty to one charge and admitted stealing wheat from three other farms. Hert was sentenced to two years and Chapik to one year in the pen. They were taken to Lincoln last Friday by Sheriff Mengel and Deputy Hagstrom. Personal Taxes Delinquent Dete. 1. Over 6,000 postal cards were sent cut from the county treasurer's office the first of the month, notifying taxpayers that their personal tax was due and would be delinquent December 1st. Under the new law taxes can be paid in two installments. If the first half is not paid by December 1, the whole amount becomes delinquent and draws interest at the rate of seven per cent. If the first half is paid, the second half does not draw interest until July 1. Real estate taxes are due in January and the first half delnquent on March 1, the second half delinquent August 1. The collection of taxes on one-half payments doubles the work in the county treasurer's office. It also makes necessary a double set of tax receipt books.
