FIRE AT McKEIVER'S SAW MILL
Steamer Brought into Use Shows
That 1t Is Capable of Doing Good
Work on Occasion.

That 1t Is Capable of Doing Good
Work ON Occasion.
The hose wagons were called out
Saturday afternoon to a fire at Nc
Keiver's saw mill. down about the old
c. S. and N. station which did about
500 worth of damage before it was
extinguished.
The fire caught in the saw dust
house, just off from the planning mill
and the engine house, and while there
was considerable smoke there was
not much fire, which was partly
smothered by the sawdust and pre-
vented from breaking out in a blaze.
The steamer was taken to the fire
and started to work and quickly
had the fire under control. The
steamer worked fine and the stream
of water that it threw was something
to make the people not acquainted
with its properties very much aston
ished. 1t showed that while it might
not be good thing in times when
haste counted most, it was a good
thing to have at fires when it was
wanted to put them out in a hurry
and something that the city really
needs after all.
The steamer has been kept ready
Tor use for the past two months. one
IF the hose wagons having been put
to one side as too diapidated for
present use. 1t was fired up in a
short time Saturday afternoon. Since
the fire 1T has been cleaned up and
looks as bright and clean as if it had
just come from the shop, newly made.
The fire was in the same place
that another fire occurred about two
months ago, which did slightly more
damage than did the fire Saturday.

Omaha Motor Club
Offers Reward for
ARREST of Thieves
Effort to Be Made to Stop the Steal
ing of Automobiles-Thieves
to Be Prosecuted.

Owing to the large number of thefts of
automobiles in Omaha during the last few
months, the Omaha Motor club offers
reward of SIS for the arrest or for informa-
ton leading to the arrest and conviction of
anyone found guilty of stealing or damag-
ing one of it's members cars.
This action the part of the club was
taken at a meeting of the directors OF the
organization at which the matter was dis
cussed and various ways and means sug-
gested for the prevention of repetitions of
the recent thefts such as the Amos and
Powell machines. 1t came also as the re-
suit of numerous requests from its members
for protection at the hands OF the club as
an organization, not a few of whom have
suffered losses by theft, resulting fire.
quently in the complete loss of the car and
in others serious damage to the machine.
Many of the club members say that they
hesitate to leave their cars ON the curb UNI
guarded, and as there are no devices on
the market for locking them the risk of
loss or damage. they say. is always present.
Among the club members are a number
of prominent attorneys, and their services
have been rendered the club free OF charge
to push the prosecution of any such cases
coming UP. In addition to this the club
will use every method at it's command to
prosecute the offenders and endeavor to
put a stop to the practice.

a powerful searchlight, over the front of
which is attached a photographic shutter

carries an ak, shovel and a complete set

three days rations for the crew. The cars
are driven from thirty to forty miles apart,
and kept in touch with each other every

Bordino Anxious to
Race Bob Burman
for Championship
Italian Driver Would Match His Skill
Against the American Speed
Artist.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-Bob Burman is
anxious to race p. Bordino, the celebrated
Italian driver. for the worlds champion
ship, and has issued a challenge for a
match with his 20O-horsepower Benz Bor
dino recently at Saltburn- by the-Sea, driv-
ing 3OO-horsepower Fiat, lowered the
worlds record for one hour when he trav-
eled 1853 miles in sixty minutes, or twenty
six miles less than Burman averaged when
he dethroned Barney Oldfield.
The record of Bordino eclipses the best
performance of any of the foreign pilots
with a fast car since Burman took into
camp the record of Camille Janatsky. who
drove his famous kilometer in 1915 seconds
at Ostend, and who lowered the record of
Oldfield made at Florida. Burman's time
was 1888 seconds.
To bring about a contest between the
European and the American. E. A, Moross
has issued the following challenge to the
Fiat company with the hopes of Sc
curing a match, to take place in America,
that will become the real classic for motor
ing contests, in fact, nothing less than a
match between the worlds fastest cars,
cars which previous to this time have
been confined almost exclusively to record
work only. Until the recent Fourth of July
meet at Brighton Beach, the Bitten Benz
has always been used for an exhibition
car, but Burman, unlike Oldfield, has
shown a willingness to use it in open COM
petition. There are many, however, who
consider the Bitten Benz a short-dstance
car, but In order to get a match with the
celebrated foreigner, Burman is willing that
the distance Of the match be between, five
miles and 100 miles. whichever Bordno
may select.
Talking of the match, z. A Moross, who
is backing Burman, said II desire that
Fred J. Wagner be elected to start this
event and l further desire that the first
deposits of $500 for each driver be paid
into his hands. The balance of the wager
up to $4,000 to be handled in any way that
may be suggested consistent with satisfac-
ton to all parties. 1t will take but little
time to negotiate the whole deal.
IF Brighton Beach is selected as the
motordrome over which the race shall be
run. and this seems the logical battle
ground, as both the Benz Auto Import com
pany and the Fiat Auto Import COM
pany are located in New York City, would
like to see II run on this course at the
Labor Day meet, as Burman is entered
with his Benz for that meet, and, further,
as the worlds record for a mile is held
by Burman, made at the Brighton Beach
motordrome, when he shattered the mark
of De Palma and placed it at 4S.72 this
proves that the motordrome is as fast as
any track In the United States of the dirt
track type. while i also believe that it
would insure the largest purse to the win
ming driver to compete here.
"One clause, however. l insist upon is,
that the winner take all. while the forfeit
