COED HADN'T TIME
TO BE ARRESTED.
Big Park Policeman Stops Fair Eques.
trienne on Chicago's Boulevard,
But She Begs Of.

Chicago.-Miss Mary Isabelle Brush, a
University OF Chicago girl and former
editor of the woman's edition Of the Uni
yersity of Chicago weekly. escaped being
arrested for fast riding In Washington
park by convincing a mounted police
man that she had a dinner engagement
She was riding a large bay horse that
was not shOd for slippery weather.
Twice the horse slipped, and once Miss
Brush. who is an expert horsewoman.
was compelled to Jump from the saddle.
Think the horse grew restiye because
of his summer shoes IN this wintry
weather" Miss Brush said And about
that time he discovered that he had the
advantage Of a snafle bit. so of he
started on what proved to be a race with
municipal law"
Just as the policeman overlook her
an automobile went crashing through
another ordinance from another direc-
tlOn.
'Youcan't possibly arrest both me and
the automobile owner" said Miss Brush.
"and the city would profit more from the
auto"
The policeman, with his hand on the
horses bride. looked perplexedly after
the recedlng machine.
Il had no intention OF breaking the
speed ordinance" the university girl
again tried TO explain.
Sorry" said the policeman. But he
logged along beside her.
Il have a little money with me" she
tentatively yentured. He did not hear
her. Then It was IN desperation that
that she laid bare her social plans for
the day. but I can't be arrested. I've
got to 20 home and dress for dinner.
How do you suppose l could dine out like
this? You're ever so kind, but | really
haven't time to ride down TO the station"
The tone was final and the policeman,
taking her name and address, rode
away.
Miss Brush. who lives with her father
at 55l5 Washington avenue, was quite
well known as an accomplished eques-
trlenne in indianapolis. where she and
Miss Adelaide Fairbanks, the yice-pres-
ident elects daughter, were accustomed
to ride through the city without even
the restraint Of a gloomy look.

the ground and he lay there in an un-

the fall, but it was evident that the man
was seriously hurt, as he did not regain
consciousness for over an hour, and then
appeared to be under some delusion. He
was in no At condition to make a balloon
ascension. but all the urging Of his man

ALBEE DENIES THAT HE Is DEAD
Man Supposed TO Have Been Murdered
Puts I'm Appearnnce.


Puts I'm Appearance.
FREMONT, Neb, Aug. S.-(SpecialO-
]. E. Albee, who for six months has been
mourned for dead by his friends in Ver-
mont, called at the office Of a local paper
this morning and assured them that he
was not the man whose body was found
with a bullet hole in the skull near the
depot at Ames last January. His resem-
blance to that Individual, however, was
startling. Albee, whose business is that of
a cattle broker and shipper for Chicago
firm, says that he came to North Bend
and stopped at Days hotel. While there he
received a telegram calling him to Denver
on urgent business. He left his grips at
the hotel, expecting to be back in New
days, but not informing the proprietor
of his destination. On arriving at Denver
he decided to go, on to the coast on some
business. He says that he remained in
California during the most of the winter
then entered the employ of Clay, Robinson
q Co. of Chicago as a broker and cattle
buyer and has spent some time in Montana
Wyoming and the Black Hills country He
was returning to Belle Fourche, g. D.,
from Chicago, where he had been with a
shipment of stock for that firm. He had
with him a clipping from The Bee contain
ing an account of the affair. 1t was quite
long time after he left North Bend he
said, before he learned that he was sup
posed to have been murdered in an out
building near the Ames depot He didn't
write to his brother, who was his only
relative, very often and besides that little
trouble had come up between them. but
nothing serious. He left this afternoon for
Belle Fourche. The identity OF the man
found dead at Ames and whether a case
of murder or suicide will probably never
be disclosed.
The affair caused much talk in this vion-
ity last winter and also in Rutland, VT,
the former home of Albee, and many clues
were followed up by the officers here in
connection with the Rutland officers with
out avail About ten days after the body
was found 1t was learned there were two
grips in the Day hotel at North Bend left
there by a man who answered the descrip-
| ton OF the body in Dengler's undertaking
rooms. Sheriff Bauman brought the grips
to Fremont and opening them found from
| their contents that they evidently belonged
| to ]. f. Albee of Rutland, VT. They con-
tained clothing papers, receipts and a lot
of shipping bills for stock, from which
! II appeared that Albee had done considera-
| BILE business as a stock shipper. The pro-
| prietor Of the Day hotel identified the body
as that of the man who had left the grips
at the hotel, stating that he would call for
| them in a few days.

AUBURN Neb, Aug. S.-(SpeciaI) AT
the meeting Of the city council last evening
an ordinance was introduced granting to
William Lawler of Lincoln franchise for
the construction of system of water
works and gas plant. The ordinance pro-
vides for the exclusive franchise for a
period Of twenty-five years, containing a
provision permitting the city to purchase
the system after the expiration of ten
years. The ordinance was referred to the
ordinance committee and will no doubt be
considerably changed and amended, but It
seems to be the purpose of the city to
grant the franchise IL it's provisions are
changed so as to make It just and fair to
the city, but as the ordinance was intro
duced there is no show whatever of II
passing.

Nebraska companies had been assessed as
required under section 81 Of the revenue
act and with that the assessors stopped.
The same method. he said. had been used
IN Douglas county and the stock had not
been listed. He did not state whether OF
not the stock had been omitted with the
consent Of the assessors, but said that he
had been in doubt about the matter.
Deputy Attorney General Thompson takes
the view that the stock must be listed for
assessment by the holders. since the com
panies paid taxes only on their gross pre-
miums. He holds that the value Of the
property of the company, including re-
serve, will be secured for the tax list when
the stock Is scheduled at its market value.
Because Of the fact that the statute pro-
vides no exemption, It has been in his view.
the duty of each holder of such stock TO
list It, and when their schedules were
sworn 70 as the complete inventories OF
their personal property, without having
listed the stock they committed perjury,
under the provisions OF section 50 OF the
revenue act, which provides:
And IL any person shall knowingly swear
falsely regarding any matter contained In
such schedule or interrigatories. he shall
be deemed guilty Of perjury and be pun
ished accordingly"
The attorney general told County As
SCISSOR Miller that the men who have made
such false statements should be prosecuted
for perjury I'm order to teach them the
weight which is to be given TO an oath.
In Iowa several such prosecutions have
been instituted, and. according to the
deputy attorney general with good effect
in making property holders list their prop
erty for taxation. He is quoted as having
said that the chief trouble with the old
revenue law was the fact that false sched-
ules were made in utter disregard of the
statute.
Under the provisions OF section 81 all Ne
braska insurance corporations, fire, life
accident or surety are to be taxed on their
gross premiums. Fraternal and mutual
companies are excepted.

AUBURN, Neb.. Aug s. - (Special)-
There is an excellent wheat crop in this
part of the state. Wheat is going from
fifteen to forty bushels per acre and the
quality Is first-class. There does not seem
to be any damaged wheat. Wheat is now
selling for 20 cents per bushel, but has
been higher. Not very much wheat has
been marketed the last week, but up to
that time all the elevators were busy.
Oats were supposed to be very poor. but
when the farmers commenced TO thresh
they were agreeably surprised to find that
their oats were going from twenty to
forty bushels per acre. The straw is short,
but well flied. There never was a better
prospect. for corn crop. The weather
has been ideal. substantial farmer who
has lived here for forty years says that
on crops of all kinds this has been the
best crop year Nebraska has witnessed.
The spring was dry and cool, good for
wheat, and the summer has been warm
with frequent showers, which is Just what
is needed for corn.
PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Aug. s.-(Speoisl.) J
The winter wheat in this vicinity is
being threshed. John Kraiger, living eight
miles southwest of this city. has ninety
acres of winter wheat which averaged
forty-eight bushels per acre. The wheat
Is OF fine quality. The oats are unusually
heavy. The weather is most favorable
for the corn and Cass county will have
one Of the largest yields It has had for
several years Some small grain is being
marketed here; the quality is above the
average, and there is good demand for
wheat and oats. Wheat is selling for 65
to 70 cents per bushel; oats, % cents; corn,
40 cents. The farmers are somewhat dis
posed to hold their grain, thinking the
prices will go higher
