Two of the victims of the
Francis H. -Leggett have been
Identified by relatives, those of
Caldwell and Goldsmith. The
latter was taken back to Nebras
ka by a brother and Caldwell
was taken to Aberdeen for bur
ial This leaves two uniden
tified who will be burled in the
Eureka cemetery at Newport
today Rev. C. T. Hurd will
conduct the services. It seems
there was a gross almost crim
inal neglect In not going to
the place of the wrecked vessel
and stay there until it was cer
tain that no one was alive that
might have been saved. ThiB
was not done.
On last Sunday morning while
little "Willie Smith was out hunt
ing the cows he came on to the
body of August Habermann, ly
ing near the road at the old
Grant place. It seems Haber
mann had been to Newport on
Saturday and bought a horse
an old crow-bate and In lead
ing the animal home it must
have worried him so when he
got to the top of the hill he Bat
down by a tree to rest, and died.
It must have been heart failure.
This was the verdict of the cor
oner's Jury. Mr. Habermann
had lived on Thiel Creek for
about thirty years on a home
stead. He was a German, 68
years old and a bachelor. He
had no relatives in this country,
According to his request he was
buried on his homestead, Itev. c

OBITUARY
Sunday morning this neigh
borhood was startled by the re
port that August Habermann, a
pioneer resident of the county,
was found dead near the ocean,
about five miles south of New
port. It was thought at the Cor
oner s Inquest that he came to
his death by exposure and heart
failure, as he had been out in
the heavy ra.ns of Saturday, and
on many occasions before hud
been subjec. lo heart trouble.
As near as can be found out Mr.
Habermann was born in East
Prussia October 2d, 1847; was a
volunteer in the Franco-Prussian
war in the early 70s. After
the conclusion of the war he
came to this country and in
company with his brother trav
eled very extensively and finally
settled in Lincoln county In 1882
filing on a homestead where he
has since resided. Mr. Ilaber
mann was a good-hearted and
jovial neignbor, loved and re
spected by all whom he was ac
qualnted and will be missed by
tne wnoie community.

DR. JEKEL AND MR. HYDE
Once upon a time there was a
farmer, which Is nothing un
usual, but In this case It was dif
ferent. This farmer was un
usual. He conceived the idea
that he was a great editor, so he
went around and told everyone
that he was a great editor and
kept on telling them that until
he really began to believe that
he was the greatest editor that
ever was. Next he got together
a few cases of typee and an old
press and started a paper gee,
but he did swell up then! But
unlike most fairy stories, he did
not live happily ever after; no
sir. It was really too bad, but
the people took his paper as a
Joke. The Farmer-Editor was
now becoming desperate, the
crude wit of the Jesters galled
his manly pride; no one would
contribute articles for his paper,
so he conceived the brilliant idea
(?) of writing them himself.
He would go out to his ranch,
pull on his overalls and Jumper,
sit down to the kitchen table and
laborously write out a lengthy
treatise descriptive of "Modern
Warfare in Europe" or the "Best
Way to Stop an Army Worm is
to Step on It." At the bottom
of the sheet he would sign the
name Farmer. This duty per
formed he would don his good
clotnes so necessary to the
newspaper profession and sally
forth to the paper office and
print the article. Next week
the Editor would comment on
the good Ideas as outlined by the
Farmer or, perhaps, slightly dis
agree with Him, on the method
of stopping army worms, nnd
in this manner get up quite a
spirited argument. His friends
and enemies alike felt the prick
of his faithful pen and thus, In
this manner did he cover him
self with
Meaning cut out by the Board
of Censorship.
Lincoln County's little exhibit
at the State Fair is creating a
lot of comment. What would
our exhibit do If It was gathered
fresh from the fields, instead of
lying at the County Fair for a
week before being shipped to
the State Fair as this exhibit
had been. We would surely cap
ture some of the blue ribbons.
Let's Bend a good, fresh exhibit
to the State Fair next year with
out fail. We have the best
county In the state and we
should let strangers know it.
