KENDALL'S AUTO
CAUSED IT ALL
LOSS AND RECOVERY OF MA
CHINE LIKE AN OPERA
BOUFFE.

The loss and recovery of Zeb
Kendalls auto has all the element of
opera bouffe, burlesque and the But
Ter theater, dashed with the spice of
the Jesse, James border drama.
Otto Blumgrin. the big Swede
chauffeur of the big red auto that be-
long to big Zeb Kendall, stole the
kerosene cart, and mahouted away |
to Goldfield, where there are pitfalls
for the unwary, and Swedish young
women who like the redlights and
the merry fiup of the corked malt
and the tuneful honk, honk of the
touring car.
The machine was too big thing
not to be missed, and Zeb Kendall
proceeded to miss it. He reported it
to the police, and the police got busy
here and in Goldfield. Mike Caha-
len, deputy sheriff of Goldfield, the
big bailiff Everything is big in the
story-it is big story of Judge
Langan's court, found the automo-
bile on the street, and locked 1t up.
Then he found the sportiye Swede,
and locked him up. The police of
Tonopah wanted the mahout, and
Zeb Kendall of Tonopah wanted his
machine. Cahalen volunteered to
bring both back here at the same
time, and the peculiar situation of a
| o1f OF
back to Jail was to be presented.
Judge Langan said that he didn't
want the Swede, so the procession
started.
! The big bailiff told the big Swede
that he knew big Shorty" Kendall,
and that he would talk to him when
they got over here. The Blumgrin
protested to be pleased. and SO they
started. They got half way over,
and something broke down. While
they were patching things up along
came Tom Kendall and Jim McQuil-
Ian. The former alighted and ran
over to the stranded ship of the des-
ert.
Whats the matter?" he asked.
Whats it to your" demanded the
chauffeur.
Kendall saw who 1t was; then he
; saw the deputy; then he laughed
/, like fun.
"Oh, it's your" he said. Well
9 can We give you anything, any car
bareters, any gasoline, water-any
llight?"
mo, we bane want nothin' snarl-
y ed the Swede.
II want to tell you something, Mr.
y Swede," said Mr.. Cahalen, softly;
Q we're going to Tonopah, and YOU
y can walk or ride, just as you please
But don't forget that we are goint
8 Just the same"
81 The repairs we're made with alac
. rity, and they were once more on tn,
way. Darkness overlook them, an,
there were no lights. The Swed
q had lied about the lights. Then tn
deputy got very wary, and he toll
1.-THE mahout that it was Tonopah
o ride or walk; but it was Tonopal
anyhow.
All went well after that until the,
were nearing Tonopah. Those VIII
s know the road between here an
IS Goldfield Will remember the two BIZ
"a jagged rocks just at the top of tn
hill entering the town. You have t
d go on the road to hit one of them
l. and to hit one of them means
lp busted tire, or a roll out. Well, tn
u Swede chauffeur missed one of then
but the second he cracked in fin
" style. Cahalen saw that the machin
~ wouldn't miss it, SO he held on tigh
u with his left hand and he grabbe
u the mahout with his mighty right.
You don't stop to fix that tire,
~ he said; Ego right on to Tonopah.
u And on they came, and the aut
We halted in Brougher avenue, and tn
% mahout halted in the jail He ha
20 chauffeured himself to the calaboos
and Cahalen didn't speak to re
= Kendall about a reprieve either.
" The Swede mahout was arraigne
ie before Judge Brissell yesterda
~ morning and after being instructe
y as to his rights, the case went owe
until this morning.
