Tourist Wakens Town With Highway Car Incident Near Chappell
A near tragedy near Chappell ended as a minor affair when Dr Townley of Kene saw Nebr and his family encountered three men on the highway. A misread hold up led to a man being knocked into the road by the car. Townley sped away after shots were fired, but the injured man recovered. Townley paid him $10 to settle. No charges were filed. The incident prompted caution for pedestrians on rural roads. Later, irrigation school demonstrations attracted about a hundred attendees over two days, with experts from the state bureau and University of Nebraska aiding farmers in meter use, ditch water measurement, float construction, and irrigation preparation. The program, led by R H Willis and others, is planned as an annual event.
