HARTINGTON - Four young men accused of stealing chickens, were taken to Pender this morning by Sheriff Peter Clarence to have a hearing before Judge Fitzgerald, who came up from Omaha to Pender especially for this matter, taking the place of Judge Mark Ryan, who is now in Omaha.
The men who are in trouble are Floyd Thomas, Leo Horan, William Parker and Leonard Jordan. The first three were arrested last week and charged with stealing 20 chickens from John Dirks.
They waived preliminary examination, and were bound over to the district court under bonds of $1,000. Being unable to furnish bond, they were confined in the county jail.
Leonard Jordan was arrested last Friday, charged with stealing 15 chickens from John Lammers, Jr.
He also waived preliminary examination when brought before Judge Bryant, and was bound over to the district court under bonds of $1,000, which he was unable to furnish, so was confined in jail.
Stealing chickens is now considered a felony, and a severe punishment can be meted out to offenders.
Just what action Judge Fitzgerald will take in the cases of these four young men is not known although he may show some clemency as this is the first time any of them has been arrested on this charge.

HARTINGTON - Dairy business is picking up in and around Hartington, the demand for cream being so great that another cream buying station, making seven in all, was opened today by R.G. Duman, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Duman.
The new business is located in the Globe Bldg., formerly occupied by the Herald office. Mr. Duman will buy for Swift & Co., and will buy cream and eggs and may later buy poultry also.
Although this is his first business venture he has secured a connection with a good firm and starts out with excellent prospects.

HARTINGTON -In horse races at county fairs and other exhibitions in this section of the country this summer and fall, August Riibe of Hartington is going to have an entry which he thinks will come home in the money his share of the time.
The horse is a bay gelding, seven years old, named Mondale. He is the son of Airdale Maid, Mr. Riibe’s famous old mare which was a winning racer in races throughout northeastern Nebraska a number of years ago, and which had a record of 2:05 for the mile.
Mr. Riibe, who always has an entry in races in this section, started Mondale last year at the Dixon county fair at Concord, and the horse came home in the money.
He has been trained this year by Bill Partridge, a well known horseman at Vermillion, and will start around the Nebraska-South Dakota Short Ship Circuit this fall, making his first race at Platte, S.D., on August 19.
