Town's Life Observed From Pool Hall Steps By Jules Lob UNION, Neb. (AP) He knows just about all 280 of the people in this -town, and all their comings and goings, so when a hearse drove by, slowly, with its lights on, Chester Chappell was puzzled. "I wonder who that could be?" he said. He fell silent for a moment, then smiled through his scraggly, tobacco stained beard. "They use to smuggle whiskey that way.

Put it in a hearse and drive it right down the highway. That was during the time you couldn't buy legal whiskey." Chester Chappell is as central a figure in this village as the red brick firehouse he remembers when was a harness shop or the Wander-In beer joint and pool hall, the stone steps of which provide the vantage point where this rumpled old man of 70 gets his daily view of the world. Customers at the Wander-In greet him cordially, school children call out "Hi, Ches!" as they hurry by, men in overalls wave from passing pickup trucks. If no one chooses to chat with him he sits silently without When the day is when all the children gone home, when the shop doors are closed and locked, when the last train has been noted and its freight cars counted, Chester Chappell climbs the hill to his windowless hovel. "It ain't the best place to 'live, but it will do me.

It was an old jailhouse at one time. town knows I'm here but i there is no rent on or nothing. I carry my own water and I carry my svood and I make out all right." In the morning he will be back on the stone steps, observing and reminiscing with anyone who will listen. "I've worked all around. I worked in the rock quarry and loaded trucks by hand.

I farmed. I put up bundles and shocked grain for $3 a day. Wasn't any big money in those days. "I cut wood. I cut off my finger in a buzz saw cutting wood.

Didn't even feel I went over to Jenny Moore's bar in Nehawka and got a big nip and it didn't even bother me. "I worked all up in Minnesota and the Da kolas. Just took what jobs I could get. I hopped trains and went south to work too. Some trainmen would let you ride and some wouldn't.

You had to know which. "Those were hard times but they weren't all bad times. 1 kind of enjoyed just taking off and not saying nothing, coming back when I chose. I've always been alone. I never married." The hearse returned, lights off, and suddenly in the middle of the street turned around and returned to the cemetery.

"Forgot the Chappell said with authority. "Couldn't be anything else. That's the second time I've seen that happen. But I still cnn't figure out who died." The hearse returned a second time. It was filled with flowers.

"What did I tell you." The old man shifted on the stone steps. He contemplated going to the cafe for a sandwich. Finally he decided, yes, that's what he would do, he would go have a sandwich. "Tomorrow? No, I don't think about what I'm going to do tomorrow. Tomorrow is too far away." UNCLASSIFIED FOR SALE Valentine Scaver original 84" dark brown divan in excellent condition.
