that the A. A. A, will see it's error before
it is too late?
While the mogu.s of the L. A. w. did
not recognize the fact, advertising with
them came through the control of cycle

the A. A. A. will follow in the steps of the

saying goes. In the old days of cycling

The wondrous strides the work has taken
are readily shown in the long line Of

an eighth track, and the massive piers
of a grand stand. Everything is moving
toward Thanksgiving day, when the thun-

II is Supposed That Mr.. Kay Will be
Endorsed by the Other Caucus Called
For This Evening, But Not Sure.
Platform of Nominees.
Neigh, Neb, March 1S.-Special to
The News: A fair representation of
the voters of Neigh attended the law
and order" caucus held at the court
house Saturday evening.
B. j. Ryan called the meeting to
order after which w. T. Wattles was
elected chairman and o. A. Williams
secretary. On the first informal bal
lot for mayor, j. G. jenkins received
25 votes, John s. Kay IA, and IS were
scattering. In behalf of Mr.. Jenkins,
who was out of the city, Charles H.
Kelsey, in a few we'll chosen words,
stated that the present mayor had
personally told him that he would alb
solutely refuse to accept the re-nomi-
nation for a second term. After the
second ballot was announced it was
moved and seconded that John S. Kay
be the unanimous choice of the CON
vention for mayor. This was carried
by an overwhelming vote.
The rules were suspended and VIM
b, Lambert was nominated for city
treasurer, The same action was taken
on the city clerk, Rob't. Wilson. Both
nominees have held these respective
offices for a number of years. John
NJ. McAllister was re-nominated for
police judge, and on the suspension of
rules the present encumbent, w. L.
Staple, was renominated for city en-
gineer. T. H. Brenton was the choice
for councilman from the First ward
and r. S. Payne from the Second.
+. +. Beckwith, o. A. Williams and
VIII Baker were the committee on
resolutions, which in the main upheld
the present Sunday closing ordinance,
the removal of hitching posts from
the principal street, the enforcing of
the dog and occupation taxes and the
building and maintaining of perma-
nent sidewalks and crossings. These
resolutions were adopted by a unani-
nous vote.
What action will be taken by the
caucus called for this evening is mere

HE WAS POPULAR YOUNG MAN

Popular For His Manly, Modest Man.
ner, Frank Hanzlk Meets Tragic
Death Out in the Woods.
Verdel Neb., March 1S.-Special to
The News: While out hunting with
two playmates yesterday afternoon
Frank Hanzlik the fifteen-year-old son
of Frank Hanzlik, was shot and in
stantly killed.
At the time of the accident the lads
were playing Soldier" and in some
way the gun belonging to one of the
other boys was discharged, the full
charge striking young Hanzlik in the
forehead literally blowing his brains
out.
Mr.. Hanzlik is a wealthy and influ-
entail farmer living two miles south
of Verdel.
Young Hanzlik was a student of the
high school here and was much loved
and respected for his manly, modest
way.
The accident occurred about
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t seems
that the boy who was shot, together
with a younger brother and Andrew
Clausen, about the same age, were out
in the woods.
CIausen Says Boy Shot Self.
Young Clausen claims that Hanzlik
shot himself while the young Hanzlik
boy says that the three were playing
soldier and that the Clausen boy, who
had a Winchester made charge on
the Hanzlik lad, raised his gun and
fired a bullet through his playmate's
head, causing instant death
Both families are highly esteemed
here and the accident is a shock to
the whole community.

Option Should be Retained on Plant.
Counclmanic Ticket There.
Stanton, Neb. March 1S.-Special to
The News: The Citizens party met
in mass convention here Saturday
night for the purpose of nominating
a mayor and two councilmen. A great
deal of interest was manifested.
There were just 200 votes cast for
mayor. The result of the vote for
this Office was that Levi Miller re-
ceiver 107 and John SCHNEIDER re-
ceived SO votes. This was supposed
to be a victory for the advocates of
an extension of the electric light fran
chise. However, the position of the
nominee on the subject as stated by
his friends on the floor of the conven-
ton was, that he believed an option
should be retained by the city to pur-
chase the plant at any time during
the ten years that it was able This
of course was a material modification
of the issue which was first presented.
In the matter of councilmen, there
was practically no contest in the east
ward on this matter it being under
stood that both of the candidates were
opposed to extending the franchise.
In the west ward C. c. Mayer, an an
nounced anti-extension candidate, was
selected over Joseph Grafton, who was
understood to be favorable to an ex-
tension.
This was one Of the best attended
caucuses that was ever held in the
city of Stanton.

the suit is brought by District Attor-

The government alleges that the land

Deloney failed to live on the home
