TEN AUTOS TO
START ON RAGE
ACROSS COUNTRY

Ten automobiles will be started by
Tuesday. June 1, in the ocean-to-ocean
contest from New York TO Seattle.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the mayor will
discharge the revolver made of Alaska
Yukon gold, which will mark both the
commencement of the transcontinental
endurance contest and the opening of
the Alaska ukon-Paciic exposition.
The cars that will essay this long
journey of approximately 1900 miles
will be two S~tearns. w Fords, an
Acme, a Shawrnut, a WEIGH, a Thomas,
a Zust and a Franklin. OF these the
first that will be in readiness for the
trip is the six-cylinder Acme, which ar
rived mere last week. m Shawmut
came in from Boston this week, while
the WEIGH car is also on the grounds.
All the other entrants are due today
and will be presented to the contest
committee of the Automobile Club of
America to have their parts officially
stamped before departure.
No official observers will be carried in
the run, n parts stamped by the tech
meal committee OF the Automobile Club
CT America cannot be changed EN-
route. The parts to be stamped are the
side members of the frame, front and
real axles, engine base n cylinders.
transmission case and steering gear.
The winning ears must bear the stamp
arrival in Seattle. All other parts
may be changed at will.
The route of the contest will be via
Albany. Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Toledo and Chicago to st. Louis, up to
point the machines will travel on
a daily schedule, with night controls, in
order to prevent the breaking of laws
and ordinances regarding speed. Be-
yond st. Louis there will be no daily
schedule and competitors will follow
any roue that they desire. with the ex-
hat they must check in at the
following points: Centralia, Manhat-
tan. Ellsworth, Oakley. Limon, Denver,
Granger, Pocateilo, Boise.
Wala Walla. The total distance by the
route selected is figured to be slightly i'll
excess of 1000 miles, and for that long
journey the time required is
variously calculated at from 81 to %
depending largely upon the con-
ditions of weather and roads en- route.
While in most cases cars will be
stripped DOWN as much as possible for
the run to st. Louis, beyond that point
they will be equipped to take on sup
plies that win permit both night and
dav running.

BACK HOME
AFTER LONG
BATTLE

In district court Monday afternoon
in the Mackey-Wilson controversy.
which has been in all courts of this
coUnty and The supreme court Of the
state, Judge Gamble rendered judg-
Inent of foreclosure on both mort
cages given by Lewis Wilson to A. l..
Mackey and his wife, aggregating
$4,000. Judge Gamble ordered the
sheriff to sell the property to satisfy
the Indebtedness unless Wilson turn
ed over $4,000 in court within five
days.
The suit, which has been in court
in some form for four years, involved
the ownership of the Mackey home
stead, south of LaSalle. In 1905
Mackey traded his farm of 160 acres
to Lewis Wilson for $50 acres in
Nebraska. Wilson gave mortgages
on the farm for the difference in
value. The Mackeys took their goods
and moved to Nebraska only to find.
they alleged, that the farm for which
they had traded was worthless and
heavily encumbered. They hurried
home and attempted to take possess
sion of their old homestead, alleging
Misrepresentation. The district court
and the supreme court sustained VIII
son. Meantime Wilson failed to pay
his mortgage notes or the interest,
and today's decision resulted. The
Mackeys are old. but expect to pur-
chase small piece of ground near
their old homestead and begin over
again.

FIRE AT EATON
A PLEASANT
CHANGE

Special to the Daily Tribune.
Eaton, Sept. 2S.-A fire. which
broke out about one O'Clock this
morning, made pleasant little
change from the usual nightly burg
larry which is beginning to be some
thing of bore. A box ear was ac-
cidentally set on fire by local char
acter named Pierce who had bunked
there for the night The hose cart
and the volunteers appeared prompt
ly on the scene and the fire was ex-
tinguished AS Pierce accidentally
set barn on fire a few nights ago
Marshal Roger concluded that the
city Jail was safer place for Pierce
to spend these frosty nights than
place where straw and matches are
plentiful.
No burglaries or attempted burg
laries have been reported at head
quarters this morning. Pierce was
brought to Greeley and lodged in the
county Jail He is believed TO be
about half witted.
