Although he received his
machine but yesterday, M. j..
Fitzgibbon now claims to be q
full fledged auto driver. When
a man gets a car he always
figures that he isn't an expert
driver until he tries to move
the garage off the foundation,
run through the garage door or
go in the ditch and that is the
way M. j. gained his title.
When rounding the cornor on
Sixth and Erie this afternoon
the car skidded on account of
the street sprinkler having
just passed and before it could
be righted Mr.. Fitzgihbon and
Hon. Geo. A. Kellogg were
doing the high dive for the
bank. The right side of the
car went into the ditch and the
car toppled over on its side but
by that time the occupants of
the car were safe on terra firma
The only damage done was to
the grass growing in the ditch
and a couple of bent tenders.
The car got out of the ditch
under its own power and all
went on their way rejoicing.
Col. F. L. Davis, of this city,
will reach his 10th mile stone
in his journey of life on next
Wednesday June 21st 1911.-
He just lacks one month of 20
years of being as old as D. M.
H, and he thinks he is quite an
Did man. A man is old only as
he thinks, not in the years he
has lived. Some men live more
in a year than others live in
five, and some men think thew
are old when they have just be-
gan to live. The mind has
much to do with life, and when
one begins to think he is old, he
will soon feel that way.

Blair, Neb, June 19.-Con-
ductor Pounds of the west
bound freight on the North
western road, leaving here
about 4 o'clock this aftern Jon,
was shot by a horse trader
named Sherman Richardson.
Pounds was shot in the leg be-
low the thigh. The wound was
dressed and the conductor
taken to Fremont with his
train. The bullet was not To-
Gated.
The horse traders had been
camping at the stock yards at
the edge of town for several
days. Pounds says the tao
men got on his waycar and he
told them to get off, when John
Richardson pulled him off and
knocked him down twice when
the elder man, Sherman Rich
ardson, shot him.
There was delay in getting
the officers to the scene and
the man who shot got away,
driven by a woman in a buggy,
going toward Omaha.
The Richardson's are father
and son and they wintered here
in Blair several years ago.
John Richardson and his wife
were arrested and are in Jail
here. Dung Richardson
comes from Sioux City and his
father from Omaha. They
met by chance here a few days
ago. The officers are on Rich
ardson's trail between here and
Omaha tonight. Omaha Bee.
The above refers to Elmer
Pounds of this city. His faith

While on duty the other
evening it became necessary
for Deputy Sheriff Myers to
visit the city bastile and talk at
considerable length with one of
the inmates. He had been on
duty quite a while and was
tired so be leaned against one
of the steele cages while he
talked. He thought nothing of
it until he met a friend up
street who commenced picking
small objects off of Mr.. Myers
coat. He said nothing about it
for awhile, but as the friend
kept it up he asked him if
he was really catching things
or if it would wear off if he
walked him around for a little.
The friend exhibited one of
his catches and much to Mr..
Myers surprise and chagrin he
found himself covered with
these little bugs which are SUP
posed to have their habitat in
beds. His clothing was cover
ed with them so that he even
haG . change his shoes before
goiis ~. The Jail has been
thor u ..ly cleaned since then
so the wayfaring gentlemen
need not fear of a like contag-
lion.

bile and brought back Mrs.
Rena Dow, called here by
the illness of Mrs. R. l..
Coulthad. The trip from
here to Dow City, forty
one miles, was made in one
hour and thirty-eight minutes.
Considering it takes the local
passenger trains an hour and
twenty minutes to make the
same trip, automobiles are not
so worse.

advocate of the Southern route.
Other speeches were made by
advocates of variations of the
three principle routes. One of
the best addresses of the day
was made by Walter Williams
of Columbia who spoke in the
interest Of the Santa Fe Trail.
The local claims were well
handled by II. F. Blackwell. His
remarks were timely and to the
point.
The D. A. RS, were ably
represented by Mrs. Ryland Tod
hunter of Lexington, and Mrs.
Van Brunt of Kansas City. Both
made short addresses in behalf
of the Santa Fe Trail.
Jefferson City was celebrating
the victory in the capitol bond
election and was in a very
happy mood. The visitors were
entertained at luncheon by the
Business Mems League out at
the penitentiary. Many took
advantage of the opportunity and
were shown through the big
boarding house.
The special left Jefferson City
Wednesday night about eleven
o'clock and arrived here about
5 o'clock Thursday morning.
The Lexington cars were left
here and passengers allowed to
sleep until 7.
The trip was indeed a great
one, and whether or not the eff
forts put forth bears fruit, Lex
ington received more advertising
than she had since the war.

LEXINGTON MADE
IMPRESSION
A Big Delegation Goes to jeff.
City-Enthusiasm Ga
lore

A big delegation Of Santa Fe
Trail boosters left Lexington
Tuesday night on a special train
composed of eight sleepers over
the River Route for Jefferson
City. Several hundred citi-
zens went down to the depot to
see them off. The procession
headed by ''Daniel Boone" and
the Concordia band formed at the
Court House and marched to the
train. The enthusiasm displayed
along the streets to the depot
was perhaps unequalled by any
similar event in the history of
Lexington.
The train started from Indepen-
dence and took on delegations
from nearly every town to and
including Marshall. Every one
was provided with a, berth or a
part of one. The special arrived
in Jefferson City about 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
About 6:3O o'clock the entire
party was mustured and marched
to the governors mansion where
the band serenaded the Cover
nor, who appeared smiling mote
the hour and apparently happy,
and made a short speech. The
Madison hotel came in next for
the early morning greeting. Mr..
Dallmeyer, member of the
Board ii Agriculture was also
serenaded. He was called from
breakfast and came out wiping
his chm which had a suspicious
dribbling OF soft boiled eggs
This was rather disconserting to
the leaders Of the procession and
for a few moments the ranks
wayered as though a dash was
eminent for the Dallmeyer kitch-
en-, but a possible calamity was
averted by the signal to march
on.
The meeting was called for ten
o o'clock, and long before that
hour the Santa Fe boosters
had taken possession Of the opera
house. Decorations were soon
placed and the wait began fol
the officials to appear. The
Concordia band kept the party IN
a happy mood by their splendid
music.
The meeting was pfeSNleI
over by Governor Hadley, who
was received by the delegate.
standing, The Governor opened
the meeting by a short and time
1y speech on the subject of goo(
roads.
After a few prelminaries th'
fireworks began, The speaker
for each route was accorded al
hour of time. U. S. Hall o
Glasgow made the first speecl
