Boys Have Wild Ride
in Electric Machine,
Looping Many Loops
Two Youngsters Climb Into ]. ]
Deright's Machine and Travel
Across City to Disaster.

Charging through the streets with an
automobile that they had managed to start
but could not stop, pulling levers and
pressing buttons but only increasing the
speed lodging street cars and vehicles
and finally ending up at the foot of long
hill in a glorious smash, the machine turn

lads OF the tender ages Of and years
emerged unscathed from the wreckage Of
a borrowed" electric brougham yesterday
afternoon at Forty-slxth and Leavenworth
streets.
The boys who took the wild ride were
Walter Carter, aged years. OF s12 South
Eighteenth street and Tommy Osborn,
aged years, of 7O6 South Eighteenth
street. The electric belonged TO j. ]. De-
right, who had left it standing in front of
the Omaha club while he was inside at
luncheon.
The boys sailed UP Douglas street, nego-
tiating the turn at Twenty-fourth with
ease. South on Twenty fourth to Leaven-
worth. where they turned west, was the
next lap OF the voyage. Soon they be-
thought themselves of stopping, but found
they had forgotten the combination. Con-
tinuing west on Leavenworth they struck
long hill. The brake was forgotten and
when the machine struck the rough road
at the bottom the crash came, the boys
bouncing around inside like peas as the
machine executed three graceful loops and
landed upon its top.
The boys were taken to the police sta
ton and later in the evening turned over
to Probation officer Sabin, who took them
to the detention home. The machine was
so completely wrecked that Mr.. Deright

Year after year he has pitched for pro-
fessional teams with nothing but com

more modest now. II anything. or II he
could be, than he was when he started.
Base ball to him not only has been a
means to good livelihood, and he has
saved much. trat he has earned, but 1t is
an occupation so highly esteemed by him
that he frequently said he knew Of moth
ing Of which man could BE prouder than
to give his best efforts in it's behalf.
Unlike some pitchers OF renown, he did
not go through his long career without be-
ing a member OF a championship team.

they won a pennant, and when he was
with the Cleveland club he assisted in the
games of one season when Cleveland beat

Omaha was greatly weakened by the fact

poor and unorganized, although in individ-
ual work the local boys did well.
Lincoln showed the results of good. hard

were too much for the Omaha five to

Veoped into one OF slSiu instead OF just
pleasure. as We then played it.
Mr.. Frick surely spoke the truth as
many Of the boWlers of today can shoot
around an, average OF about 200 for ten
games or more.

Henshaw hotel. had a set OF alleys under
the old Omaha Athletic club on Ifamcy
street, which Is now Mprrlsons billiard

was done I'm the cooked hat game or three

What Do You Think of'This?

A week ago Saturday a warrant
was issued for Geo. Williamson
on a charge of selling liquor on two
counts. The man was located and
shown to Deputy Cole. Williams
was at that time, early in the after
noon, eating his dinner at the An
mex Cafe, when Cole walked in
and saw him. The Deputy then
went to his home to procure a
gun with which to serve the war
rant. When IN returned, the man
was gone, and though they went
to the state line after him, the
alleged bottlegger got away. Will
liams has not been arrested nor
has the warrant been served.

GOT THE MAN
George Yount VIII Have to
Face Grand Larency
Charge

Geo. Young, who was arrested
here last Friday on the charge of
having stolen a number of guns,
knives and razors from the hard
ware store of Ezra Shorb, was
turned loose, because the deputies
thought that it would be all right
to do so. owing to the fact that
Mr.. Shorb did not wish to prose-
cute the case. The man was never
taken to the Office of the county
attorney, but was turned loose
without investigation. The goods
stolen amount to more than $40
which makes the crime a felony,
and it means a term in the peni-
tertiary for the man who is found
guilty by the jury. The man was
turned loose while Sheriff Edison
was in Meade putting the other
two prisoners in jail there. Upon
the return of the sheriff a warrant
was sworn out Tuesday night, and
the man was located at Dalhart.
The Sheriff went to Dalhart on
No. 3, Tuesday night and returned
with his man on No. 4 Wednesday
morning. The man waived pre-
liminary examination and was then
bound over to the district court.
1t is probable that he will plead
guilty before the court and receive
q sentence. AS there are a num-
ber Of hoboes being taken off the
trains here every day, it is hardly
advisable to let any case of law
violation pass unpunished, as such
procedure might subject the town
to a number of petty offenses in the
future. We believe that the
course taken was the proper one,
under the circumstances. The
business men of the town must be
protected.

The District Court
viii Hold An Adjourned Ses-
sion July 3, to Hear Jail
Injunction Case

Word has been received here
that Judge w. H. Thompson will
be here on July 3 to hold an ad-
journed term OF court. County
Attorney Commons has waved
notice of the Jail injunction case
against the commissioners in order
to get the matter before court on
that date. The case will come to
focus then, when the plaintiff, o..
I. Woods will ask for a temporary
restraining order. If the court
refuses so grant the order, the case
will probably go to the supreme
court. In the event that the order
is granted, it is probable that the
case will be carried up. Several
other motions will be argued be-
fore the court at that time. Judge
Thompson will be one of the
speakers at the exercises here on
July 4.

Standard Oil Sued.

The county Attorney has fled
suit against the Standard Oil Go.
of Indiana on charge of violat-
ing the state antitrust law on five
counts. The fine may be $500 on
each count and attorneys fees have
been asked for. A number of sim
liar cases have been started in
other counties over the state.
1t is charged in the petition of
the case that in Seward county on
the 18th of September, 1909, be-
ing engaged in contract with the
Standard Oil Co. of Kansas, the
Prairie Oil 6 Gas Co., and divers
Othercorporations, which was made
with a view to prevent and did
prevent the full and free competi-
tion in the sale of a certain domes-
tic raw material, petroleum, did
carry out said arrangements to ad-
vance the price of petroleum TO
the consumers within the county
of Seward contrary to the statute
of the state of Kansas. The other
four counts are similar, differing
only in the dates named, the most
recent of which is October 18th,
1910.
The plaintiff alleges that the
sum of $500 is due the state on
each of the counts, and also reason
able attorney fees. If the case is
found for the state the amount of
the fines will go to the school fund
of the county of Seward. The pc
tition was fled Monday afternoon.

Another Railroad

A meeting was held by the citi-
zens of Stanton county last Mon
day for the purpose of appointing
committees to procure the right of
way for railroad running from
Meade northwest to Santa Fe, west
to Ulysses, west to johnson and
southwest to Des Moines, New
Mexico, there to connect with the
Colorado 6 Southern.
The people of Stanton county
propose to give the road $4,000 a
mile in bonds and the company
agrees to build the road within
four months.
We hasten to give this informa-
tion to our readers, fearing that
the road will be in operation before
the paper reaches them if any time
is lost.
While we are always glad of the
good fortune of our neighbors,
and especially in this case, as a
railroad within twenty-five miles
from US would be great improve
ment over what we now have, still
it would seem that we are not be-
ing treated right by this company,
which proposes to build a railroad
in a circle around this county.
Starting a dozen miles further
south than the north line of Nor
ton county, the road takes north
westerly course until it reaches
Santa Fe; thence west through
Ulysses to johnson, a distance of
% miles north of here, and then
proceeds southwest and finally
turns about straight south.
However, of course we hope the
road will be built, even before the
four months are up, as it will give
us a railroad on about three sides
of us. .-RichGeld Monitor.
