WAS SHE @sHoRTCHANGED? .,
Peculiar Case That Happened at
Newton Lunch Counter.


Some peculiar circumstances mark
ed an attempt on the part of q. woman
at shOrt-changing or a case Of robbery
by a man at Joanna WOerneF's hotel
just east of the auditorium yesterday
noon. The authorfties are in doubt as
to just what offease was committed. .
Among the passepgers that passed
yesterday We're a. " oman and a girl
both in mourning The woman left
the car when the train came to a stand
still here and went across the street
to Joanna sWOernerss place of business
and bought a lunch that came to thirty
cents. She handed the old man that
waited Upon her a bright new, twenty
dollar bill but the old man remarked
that he. could not change SO large a
bill and said he would rather let her
have the goods for nothing. Just then
Joanna happened along and she said
she would go up stairs and get the
change. She returned few minutes
later with the $19s70 which she gave
the lady, who putait in her purse and
walked out.
Soon after she had gone. Joanna dis
covered that neither she nor her male
helper had the $50 bill and she
promptly raised a hue and cry, She
got a policeman to go with her to the
train and pointed out the woman. The
officer very gently informed her of the
missing $40 bill and asked her what
she knew about It. The woman ap-
peared greatly agttated and the girl
with her went off into a faint. The
passengers became interested by this
time and, knowing that the women
we're accompanying corDse III the
baggage car ahead, their syfnpa thfes
We're readily aroused and they soon
raised money enough to pay Joanna
Woerner the twenty dollars she had
lost.-NeWton Kansan.,

Two Runaways by One Team.

Two RunaWays by One Team.
A new team belonging to T, J.
Shaughnessy & Son, Keytesville
liverymen, SHE'D at water train,
partly over street crossing in
Salisbury Sunday, and ran the
surry into ditch on the road
side, almost upsetting the We.
hicle, which was occupied by
L. B. Thrash, wife and one child
and Mrs. w. ?. Thrash and two
children, all of Keytesville. Mr..
Thrash, his wife and two of the
children were thrown out, and
in the fall Mrs. Thrash had on Q
of her front teeth knocked out,
her lower lip cut 80 that it re-
quired two stitches by DR.. j. F..
Welch, and she was also render
ed unconscious for about two
hours and was not able to return
home till the next day.
Mr.. Thrash had a tuft of hair
removed from his head, his
hands hurt and was more or
less bruised.
Seeing that there was no driver
to guide them the team took
fright and ran away with Mrs. w.
P. Thrash and one child in the
surry until telephone pole was
struck. Here the two remaining.
occupants of the surry were
thrown to the ground and Mrs.
Thrash received severe cut on
one of her legs and was con-
siderably bruised about the body.
She is not yet able to walk.
Strange as it may seem neither
of the children was injured be-
yond a few slight bruises.
The surry was wrecked, but
neither of the horses received q
scratch.
The same team ran away in
Keytesville with F. j. Shaugh-
messy Tuesday and demolished
another surry as they ran down
into the ravines, near the resi-
dence of Hugo Bartz, Sr.
Bud Thrash, who was in the
surry with Mr.. Shaughnessy,
escaped by jumping out. Frank
held onto the lines until he saw
the fate that awaited him in the
gulches ahead, and he, too, gave
a leap for safety and made a
lucky get away.
That team should be put to
work on a rock wagon until they
can learn to behave themselves
with less danger to life and limb.
