Canning Factory to he started

During the past ten years few, If any,
bonuses have been granted in this
state. but Grand Island is TO the front,
having about completed such a deal
for the ~rejuvenation of its canning fac
tory. And 1t Is safe to say that even
with the general tendency on the part
Of the business men and citizens to
pull together the raising OF n bonus
proposition would not have been ac-
complished this time but for the fact
that the proposition came from a man
who was a former citizen Of the city
and upon whose integrity and ability
the utmost confidence was placed.
James +. Rourke, Of Omaha. brother
of the baseball manager and formerly
n citizen of Grand Island, where he
managed the canning factory under the
management of Archer Il Baker, has
completed the deal for the purchase of
the factory building, the citizens hav-
ing all but two hundred dollars of the
$4,000 necessary for putting the build
in the proper shape.

gerous looking knife. and when he
was searched fifteen cartridges were
found In Santos pockets. Besides
there was an unopened letter from
Cnnnatellit, Italy.
Menu had n rough map Of Paris, and
the department of the Seine, with
about a dozen of the largest public
buildings numbered consecutively and
marked. He also had n billhead from
the Carlton Hotel, London, and admit
ted that he came to this country three
weeks ago.
According to the police the fight
started in a hall In Roosevelt street,
where n meeting was In session. Santo
was charged with having revealed Sc
crcts, and the fight In the street fol-
lowed, resulting In their arrest. Menu

MYSTERIOUS THEFT
Adams Express Company Loses a S4O,-
900 Package

A Lincoln, Nov. "a special says:
Did the Adams Express company lose
a large sum of money in Il daring rob-
berry Saturday morning?
While the transfer of the through eX-
press on the Portland special of the
Burlington railroad was being made
early Saturday morning a package con-
tanning $40, 600 in currency was stolen.
This was the rumor in Lincoln this
morning. 1t came from an authentic
source, but was vigorously denied by
Burlington and Adams Express COM
pany officials. The In which
the report originated gave 1t the stamp
of truth.
When the Portland special pulled into
the Burlington station Saturday morn
ing at about 2 o'clock the transfer of
the express from one car to another
was completed with the exception OF "a
single package. That package the eX-
press messenger placed in the door OF
the car. He turned around. II was
gone. Since that time nothing has been
seen or heard OF 1t.
Burlington officials expressed surprise
at the story this morning. They de-
clared 1t was news to them and made

Starvation Causes a Riot at the Cuban
Capital-Two Killed

Havana, Nov. 24.-Police Captain
Maso and two officers were wounded
and two strikers were killed during IA
demonstration today in front of the
palace. In addition two policemen and
several strikers were wounded.
The strike here became general to-
day. The conductors and motormen
continued running their cars until 10
o'clock, when Superintendent Green
wood ordered a suspension of traffic. He
had asked the civil governor for pro-
lection but the authorities were unable
to protect the cars. Several of them
were wrecked and some motormen and
conductors were injured. The men were
willing to remain at work. but the OFF,
Gals, In order to protect the property,
deemed II wise to suspend the service.
The situation Is grave The police
will not make arrests owing to the pro-
nounced sympathy Of the mayor n
other city officials with the strikers. a
mob of strikers drove the employees of
the Western railroad from the trains
this morning. No bread or meat is on
sale and a continuance of the strike
will cause much suffering to the poor.
