•**•**•*♦**•**
1). c. Brownell, more familiarly
known as “Sunny” Brownell, lost h;s
cognomen for a few minutes yester
day forenoon. and was "gloomy”
Brownell.
Brownell was held up on the rail
road by Dempsey and the latter re
lieved the railroad man of his gun.
Brownell was coming towards Sew
ard on his speeder. Dempsey was go
ing north on a handcar and was just
north of Porcupine City. Browne*!
slowed down and intended to he *>
transfer the handcar around the
speeder. When the handcar approach
ed Brownell, Dempsey slowed down,
jumped off and going towards Brown
ell told him to “Throw u4, his hands.”
Brownell wanted to know why, biu
looking down the barrel of something
that looked like a forty, put his hands
in the air. •
“Turn around.” said Dempsey.
Brownell turned and Dempsey plac
ed his gun against the small of Brown
ell’s back at the same time taking
Brownell’s gun from his pocket.
“Keep your hands in the air or I’M
shoot you.”
Dempsey then disappeared between
the cabins on the load and Browned
lowered his hands, and wondered what
had happened.
just at this time Cal Brosius came
-south on his auto and Brownell asked
what had happened.
Cal did not know. Around the bend
about three blocks south came (’.us
Morgen. Chief Guest ;url Frank Cotte \
with Billy Ellis in the latter’s auto
mobile. Brownell told of the incident
he had just gone through and was in
turn told of the shooting.
Barren and the others had seen the
Brownell hold-up hut were too far
away fo’ positive action. Had they
hi en two minutes earlier, Dempsey
wo dd probably have been dropped.

Notice is hereby given that the
Committee recently appointed to in
vestigate the prices of commodities >n
Seward will hold a meeting in the
town hall, Tuesday evening, Sept. 2nd,
at S o'clock, for the purpose of hear
ing complaints as to local prices which
citizen# may care to make and also to
acquire such information as the pub*
lie may have in its possession which
bears upon the subject in hand.
All complaints should be accom
panied by evidence in the shape of re
ceipted bills, etc.
The appointing of this and similar
i ommittoes all over the country marks
the first step in a sincere effort of the
government to lower the high cost of
living. The local committees cannot
send in a full anti authentic report of
local conditions without the coopera
tion of all citizens.
Therefore it is the public duty of
each one to submit such evidence as
they have in order that any local evils
if they exist, may be corrected.
Information is desired on prices
charged in Seward during the past
year on all necessary commodities
such as food, fuel and clothing.
Celia Robb Lucas,
Secretary.
