ing in business in this field, but
changed their minds when they found
that they could ship from Omaha into
any point of this territory as cheap as
from Norfolk. Adding the local freight
rate from Omaha to Norfolk for ship
ping into this point, 1t was found that
they would be very materially ahead
of the game by virtue of the Omaha
location.
The location of Norfolk appealed to
these men as an ideal one for "A whole
sale establishment. They found the
city Disseminated against in the mat.
ter of freight rates and thus another
prospective enterprise for this city
faded away.

Twain as Horsethief.

Deadwood, S. d., May AS far
back as 1864, when he was a raw
newspaper correspondent at Carson
City, New, the late Mark Twain
showed the humor that was after
ward to be the dominant character
istic of his life. The story of how
he posed as a horsethief, and the pho
tograph he used for that purpose,
have never before been published.
They are in the possession of Major
A. ]. Simmons of this city, former
chum of Clemens. and one of the CO.
conspirators in the joke.
Major Simmons, Clemens and the
late Judge William H. Claggett of
this city were intimate friends in
Carson City in 1864, just at the time
when three horsethieves were being
sought by the vigilantes. Twain con.
ceived the idea of posing as the crimi-
nails, and took Simmons and Claggett
to the photographers, where the trio
had their picture taken. Twain then
wrote on the back of the photograph
Three Williams recently hung by the
vigilantes at Aurora, New" and the
day after the hanging circulated the
photograph in Carson City to such
good effect that many who did not
know the originals in the photograph
took them for the dead bandits.

Norfolk Man Talked Out.

Lincoln State Journal: An incident
not on the program of the Nebraska
Electrical association enliyened the
proceedings of the final day in the
shape of speech by E. A. Bullock of
Norfolk severely criticising Mayor
Love of Lincoln because the latter in
his welcoming address on Tuesday
made some remarks favorable to mum
icipal ownership and cited Lincolns
experience with waterworks and cleo
trio light. Mr.. Bullock characterized
this talk as an insult to the asso-
citation and wanted to take the con-
vention next year to some city where
it would be welcome" His address
created a great deal of stir but in the
afternoon everything was smoothed
over and the meeting concluded with
no further display of feeling.
All of the old officers were re-elect-
ed except two. The new list is as fol-
lows: President, B. c. Adams, Lin
coln vice president, F. II. Brooks,
Lincoln; secretary and treasurer,
Frank McMaster, Beatrice. Executive
committee-E. A. Bullock Norfolk;
B. p. Egan, Nebraska City; William
j. Scout, Kearney. Those retiring
are Joel M. Roberts of York as vice
president and l.. w. Schwingel as
treasurer, neither caring to continue
in an official position.
No Meeting Place Named.
No meeting place was named for
1911, but the executive committee,
which includes the three principal Of
| ficers, was empowered to make a
choice. President Adams extended an
| invitation for the association to meet
| in Lincoln again. Before adjourning,
| the convention on Bullock's motion
extended vote of thanks to the New
Lindeli hotel management for its
courtesies and attentions, to the news
papers for publicity of the proceed
ing, and to the Lincoln Traction
company for furnishing a special car
on which members were taken to in
spect the plants of that corporation
and the Lincoln Gas & Electric Light
company.
Didn't Stick to Text.
Mr.. Bullock's speech was easily the
leading feature of the days proceed
ings. He took the floor, as he said
to make a report of the Iowa conven
ton held recently at Sioux City, but
soon passed off of that subject anC
began discussing the part of Mayor
Loves address to which he had taker
exception.
1.-The next time our association
meets" said Bullock, Il hope it viii
be in a place where we will be wei
coined. If | have anything to do will
it, | will try to find some city which
will feel honored to have us come anC
glad to receive the money we pay TO
hotel accommodations, cigars and stuff
like that. Perhaps we can find cit!
whose mayor will not insult us whel
he is graciously asked to give an ad
dress of welcome.

mt he's a gentleman. "

but he's a gentleman"
The word gentleman" was pro
nounced with fine scorn each time,
indicating that the speakers opinion
of MAYOR Love was quite different.
Bullock continued:
Mayor Dahlman never went out of
his way to slap any man, woman or
child. He Is man, and II you know
him you'll like him, even If you don't
like his politics. He would not stand
up and make statements which were
untrue, through ignorance, nor would
he want to hurt your feelings In any
such way. He is too smart and too
truthful man to stand before you
and lie. | hope that somewhere in
Nebraska we shall receive an invita-.
ton from some city that has a gen.
tleman for its mayor-an intelligent
gentleman, If you please"
Bullock concluded his speech and
left the floor at this point. There was
some applause on one side of the room
from Omaha men and a few others,
among whom Bullock had been sitting
before he addressed the convention.
There was no further demonstration
either way, and President Adams
stated that the convention would adj
journ for luncheon.
Adams Bids for convention.
Upon calling the convention to or
der in the afternoon, President Adams
spoke as follows:
81 am very anxious personally that
the convention next year shall come
to Lincoln, and in advocating Lincoln
as the next meeting place | want to
point out one or two features in refer
ence to Lincoln as location. You
will all have to admit, | believe, that
the newspapers in Lincoln have given
us very fair consideration in writing
up our meetings; they have given us
prominent places in the newspapers
and have written what we have said.
1t is possible for our papers to give us
much more publicity than the Omaha
papers, for instance, can give us.
What publicity we do get here shows
up more prominently than it does
there.
'In reference to Mayor Loves re-
marks, | must say this in justice to
the mayor, that he has made about
the same speech that he made to us
to nearly every convention that has
come to Lincoln and he was just I'M
fortunate in giving us the same line OF
talk that the others get.
LAS has already been pointed out by
Mr.. Bullock, we have been fortunate
in getting everybody to come to our
convention, to attend our meetings
and take an active part. That has
been largely due to the fact that we
have had no other attraction of great
er or less Importance and you have
had to come here, and l am boosting
for Lincoln on this proposition and
hope to get this convention here next
year"
Mr.. Bullock offered an expression
seconding part of President Adams
remarks. He closed the incident by
saying:
81 want to endorse what has been
said in regard to the newspapers of
Lincoln, heartily; they have given us
very fair reports and very full re-
ports. considering their space, and
they have literally given us space in
their newspapers. l am informed dur
ing the noon hour that Mayor Love
never thought that he was doing any
thing wrong or that he was making
any misstatement he was simply
mistaken, and if that is intended as
an apology it is accepted as such by
me-"

CARS THIEVES WORK
CUTE GAME But Get
CAUGHT IN The ACT
Hire as Switchmen and Loot
Cars Which Pass Through
Mitchell Yards.

Mitchell. s. D. March 25.-Aftef
working on the case for several weeks
Sheriff Plotner and Detective Wer-
nick. of the Milwaukee railroad, have
landed a bunch of freight car robbers
who operated in the yards OF the Mil
waukee system in Mitchell during the
month of February. George Harrison.
Herbert Sweitzer, Frank Kolsh, Jess
Hendricks and Fred Cushnian have 2l
had their preliminary examination and.
with the exception of Kalsh, all have
been bound over until the April term
of circuit court under $500 bonds.
The cars which were robbed were
entered on Feb 8. The contents was
clothing destined for Rapid City. AT
ter opening the cars the robbers, being
employed as switchmen in the railroad
yards, sealed the cars up the loss
was not discovered until the car was
opened at it's final destination. Motto
ing that the group of men seemed TO
have plenty of money their cases were
investigated with the result that 1t was
discovered hat they had been selling
clothing about town at ridiculously
low prices. The case was traced out
and the men Ragged. The first two,
Harrison and Sweitzer. were arrested
in Sioux City; Hendricks was located
a Mobridge and Cushman at Omaha.
About $500 worth of clothing in all was
stolen and il will probably go hard
with the offenders. 1t is thought the
men are a part of agroup who have
been travelling about the country Sc
curing positions as switchmCn and then
planting stuff taken from thc railroad
companies. Stolen stuff that had been
cached was found at M~obridge, Madi-
son. Marion and at Sioux City, where
it had been shipped out from Nit
chell in trunks.
Not only are these men accused of
footing cars. but they are thought to
be the principals in a series of thefts
of clothing, cushions and other articles
taken from engineers and firemen
whose runs terminate here.
