RANDOLPH - These Nebraska jack rabbits are powerful jumpers and we have often wondered why some one has not trained a troupe of Nebraska jacks to jump through the hoop at various heights, mostly pretty good heights.
A. J. Abts of Randolph can testify that these jack rabbits can really jump. He carries the scars to prove it. And besides that has an eye witness.
Mr. Abts and his son Laverne were driving in the Dendinger neighborhood northeast of Randolph last Friday afternoon at about five o’clock when a full grown jack rabbit took to the road ahead of the auto, dodging from side to side as is their habit. Both outfits were doing about 40 miles an hour when the jack took to the air in a mighty leap that cleared the hood of the car smashed through the windshield on the driver’s side and showered Mr.
Abts with broken plate glass, one of the pieces cutting his nose quite painfully.
The rabbit landed in the back seat, dead. The rear window was also cracked, whether by flying glass or by the rabbit is not known.
Albert Larsen, rural carrier, declares that a jack rabbit on his route can jump even higher. Mr.
Larsen avers that a jack rabbit not long ago leaped clear over his car.

RANDOLPH - After getting away to a good start for the season the Randolph Junior Legion base ball team were handed two good drubbings. The local sports editor was not even aware of the game at Belden last Tuesday, so mention of same was out. However we are informed that the locals went down 10 to 6. In a previous game Randolph won 7 to 8. At home to the Laurel Juniors here Friday afternoon the local sand lotters helped the visitors put a 21 to 13 score on ice, helped them by the error route mostly. Young Backhaus, Randolph back stop played a good game.
The parade of local pitchers, Dwyer, LeClair and Mailliard, were given poor support when most needed. Lack of practice exposes the best of ball teams.

RANDOLPH - Frank Winkelbauer suffered a painful injury last Friday morning while testing telephone wires on his rural line. Frank climbed a pole near the John Patent farm taking with him a testing device. In making the descent his climbers slipped and so did Frank, the testing apparatus coming down last and cracking Frank on the forehead. An ugly gash that required the attention of a surgeon was the result.

RANDOLPH - At a meeting of the stockholders and directors of the First National Bank Tuesday a resolution of voluntary liquidation was passed and signed, and at a meeting of the directors of the First State bank of Randolph a resolution was passed to assume deposit liabilities of the old First National and take over its assets.
All of this simply means that the First National is reorganized under a state charter and will be known as the First State bank of Randolph.
Every dollar of the $35,000 capital and surplus of the new bank is paid up in cash; the new organization and its assets are approved by the state banking board; the charter has been issued and on Monday the new bank will be in operation under the same management as heretofore.
Money is on hand to pay every depositor of the old bank in full and in cash, or for re-deposit in the new bank, which will be the general procedure, for our people have every confidence in the management of this sound financial institution.
The incorporators of the new bank are: Jas. F. Toy, president; F. S. Stegge, Ralph Bacon, H. L.
Peck and J. M. Liewer. Those who have subscribed for stock include Randolph business men and farmers. Articles of incorporation will be found on page two.
