Kearney Daily Hub Tuesday, December 16, 1913 Page: 10 Riverdale -- December 13. The Somerset club has a rival now, it is the Sheepshead Club. It meets at the first door north of the Blacksmith shop and has daily and night sessions. Wm. Rickman is president, L.M. Gard, secretary, F. Bargmann, treasurer, and E. W. Pratt keeper of the ritual. Members to be eligible must be able to imitate Mary's little lamb. So far, R.I. Prasher is the only one to fill the requirement, that there are five or six promising candidates and we believe it will soon rival the Somerset Club.
