Controlled
At the request OF Frank Schmidt, can
didate for justice OF the peace in South
Omaha, the Douglas county canvasslng
board visited South Omaha yesterday TO
open the voting machines and make a re-
count Of the vote. Three precincts were
thus examined, but no change was dis
covered and Mr.. Schmidt said he was salts
fled. His vote in the recent election was
close to tina of Judge Kain's and he en-
tered a contest before the c~anvassing
board in Omaha. William Kain's election
as constable was also contested and a re-
count was taken on the same precincts by
his opponent. These were the only con-
tests filed following the oanvassing Of
the returns.
Runaway Boys Detained,
Johnnie Peterson, aged s, and william
Wolf, u years Of age, have three times
listened to the lure Of the wild during the
last month. Each time they have run
away from home. wednesday the siren Of
the wilderness led them toward Papillion.
All day and during the hours OF evening
they were free lances in the fields of ely
stun. A the Fricke farm, near Papillion,
they entered the stables and took from
the premises two brides. They visited the
pasture on the farm and tried 10 ride the
horses. Mr.. Fricke said they did ride his
horses, but the boys said they could not
catch them. When they left the pasture
they hid the brides IN a culvert Of the
road and went into Papillion. They got
food in the morning, but we're ~apprehended
by Sheriff McAvoy. This cut short their
adventure and Paul MacAuley, the South
Omaha truant officer has them. The parents
have given up in despair, therefore John

d. E.. West Of Nehawka, and William
Wolf will be detained at the detention
home. The truant officers and the parents
have several times warned the boys they
were in danger Of this fate, but II had
little effect.
Nick snIistian FOrfeits Bond.
Charged with assault and battery and
released on bonds to appear Thursday at
2 D. M, Nick Salistian failed to appear
in court and Judge Callahan entered the
forfeit of his bond. Half an hour later
Salistian appeared and said he expected
his attorney to appear for him. The judge
said cases Of neglect Of this kind had been
a source of Inconvenience to him for some
months and he proposed to insist on the
right to declare a forfeit hereafter. No
one appeared to prosecute Salistian for
assault and It is probable the parties to
the action thought appearance unneces-
sary.
