PAVING CAN Be DONE
Mayor Sturgeon Again Takes Issue
With Mr.. Dur,and.

Norfolk, Neb May 30. - Editor
Daily News; | beg your Indulgence
for space in your columns to answer
in brief the article Of Mr.. A. j. Dur
land under date of May 81, in which
he attempts u show why Norfolk av-
enue cannot be paved this year.
Mr.. Dur'and starts out by saying
that we have just paid 100000 for a
sewer system because we wanted it
to drain Norfolk avenue, and that we
would be foolish to lock it out by paw.
ing Norfolk avenue. How a man with
Mr.. Durland's intelligence can figure
out how the paving Of Norfolk avenue
would affect the Rosewater sewer that
is two block away, is more than | am
able to understand. He goes on to say
that the present Norfolk avenue sew
ers do not drain the cellars. That |
am free to admit, and Is not worth a
dollar TO Norfolk today and never
was, and never will be. The city cOun-
Gil should condemn it at once, place a
good twelve to eighteen inch pipe
sewer on the alley between Norfolk
avenue and Braasch avenue, from
Fifth street to First street, and con.
meet with the main sewer pipe.
Imagine the folly OF raising the Nor
folk avenue sewer that consists of two
eight-inch pipes. The expense of
opening the bitches and refilling, un,
der the Salmen plan of hand tamping

Dynamite Bomb.

A special telegram was received
" the Tribune Monday evening too
late for publication. telling OF th'
miraculous escape from annihila
tion OF Mrs Genevieve Chandler
Phipps and the employees Of the Den
ver International Trust company.
Only the failure Of two sticks oi
dynamite to explode when hurried
against the floor of an automobile
BY . desperate woman extortionist,
saved Mrs. Geneveve Chandler
Phipps of Denver, her nine-year
daughter, Helen, her maid and
oAaufYeur from horrible deati. and
untold loss of pedestrians lives,
countless damage and general havoc
in front of the International Trust
company in the Equitable building
sAortly before O'Clock Monday af-
ternoon.
Under the threat of being blown
to atoms by an unknown woman OF
mystery, who demanded 100000,
Mrs. Phipps was forced to accom-
pany the woman to her bank, with
her little daughter as hostage. The
woman. apparently cultured, well |
educated and possessed of refine |
nent. halted Mrs. Phipps' electric |
runabout in City park, jumped in |
aAd then with threats compelled |
obedience. The child. maid. chauf-
feur and a large auto were obtained.
At the bank Mrs. Phipps rushed
rantically inside and informed Vice
President Smith. Detective ]. R. Nc
Donald of the First National bank
was called. Taking in the situation
at q glance, he notified police head
quarters. The patrol wagon with
Odicers Mcdonald and Dorsey was
rushed to the bank. They had been
warned that any suspicious move
meat would mean death to the load
ed car. Leaving the wagon the po- :
licemen in plain clothes went toward
the automobile.
The mysterious woman, with a
shrewdness born of desperation, re-
aiixed her position. Rising from her
seat she hurled both sticks of the
dynamite against the car. People
sArieked and Mrs Phipps rushed to
her daughters aid. The dynamite
did not explode. Instantly the
woman was seized and rushed away
to jail.
The woman refused to give any
inform alton in regard to herself
even asserting that she did not know
her name. Her room was traced to
the American house On a sterling
silver toilet set were the initials F.
G. r. There was likewise a secret
telegraphic code Nothing was
found to give any clue TO her iden-
tity. (,
