Saloons Closed in Des Moines

The supreme court held that the
names on the petition for the operation
of saloons in Des Moines did not con-
tain the required number and orders
were issued Saturday to close all saloons
in the city as well as the three breweries.
A lady notary public who acknowledged
the affidavits of 1900 signers to the
petition did so when her comission had
expired and the court held that she
could not legally make the acknowledge
ments. Des Moines will now be dry
city until after the city election to be
held next April. The saloon men at
that time will likely circulate another
petition and if enough signatures can
be secured the saloons will reopen. In
the meantime the thirst parlors at
Valley junction will do thriving busi-
ness In fact fast Saturday evening
after supper Valley Junction did more
business than the town had ever done
before in a week. Efforts are now
being made to close the saloons at
Valley Junction.

Brayton Man Robbed in Omaha

Frank Gearhart, of Brayton, while
in Omaha Saturday was held up and
robbed of $l4. The holdup took place
about 500 o'clock in the evening Mr..
Gearhart informed the police but they
did not seem disposed to give him any
assistance in trying to locate the
burglar. When Mr. Gearhart com
planned of not having any money left
to purchase his railroad ticket home,
the burglar asked him how much il
would take. When he told the burglar
it would take $l.75 he handed the
amount to Mr.. Gearhart with the in,
structions to take hike.
The robber held a revolver against
Gearhart's heart while he was going
through him, and kept up a running
fire of talk while he was doing the
stunt Among other thing he said was,
"You ought to go into this game. It's
easy money" The holdup man is de.
scribed by Gearhart as being about
twenty years old and wearing what
looked to be soldiers hat Gearhart
has been around some himself, having
served in the Spanish warsand in the
PHILIPPINES and has seen much of the
world, but this is the first time, he says,
he ever was held up or saw an instance
where the police failed to try and APP,
prehend a criminal.

1T MAY Be A MURDER
James Blake q Former Resident Of This
County Accused Of Shooting Former
Employee Last Sunday.

James Blake, a middle aged farmer
living southwest of Audubon, across
the line in Guthrie county, was arrested
at the home of his parentsg in Guthrie
Center last Sunday afternoon on the
charge of attempt TO kill Frank Nobal-
sky whom he is said to have employed
as a farm hand about year ago.
About IL o'clock Sunday morning it
is said neighbor heard some shots in
the neighborhood of the Blake farm and
later found the body of Nobalsky in q
corn field across the road about $50
yards from where Blake lives with a
bullet hole in his body. the leaden mis-
sic having entered the back and pierced
the lobe of his right lung AS soon as
the injured man was found, DIR. aaIri-
son was called who gave him what re-
lief he could until he coald be taken to
the Harrison hospital at Guthrie Center
where it is expected he will die from
his injuries. He asserted that Blake
had shot at him three times, but that
only one of the bullets took effect
James Blake. who did the shooting,
is a SON of Dick Blake who for many
years lived with his father on the Blake
farm in Melville township. Later he
moved to his farm near Wichita where
his wife died about year after his
marriage. He had accumulated con-
siderable wealth and lived alone on his
farm Nobalsky was hunting Sunday
morning in the vicinity in which he
was found. He was carrying shot
gun, and at the preliminary hearing at
Guthrie Center Monday, it developed
that number of empty shells were
found near his body and it is understood
that Blake's plea will be self defense, it
being intimated that Noblasky began
the shooting and that he returned the
fire.
About year ago Noblaslxy was in
the employ of Blake and il is said there
was some feeling between the two men
owing to a misunderstanding which
crosse at that time.
After the shooting, Blake is supposed
to have said nothing about the affair,
but went to Guthrie Center to visit his
parents Word was sent to the sheriff
of Guthrie county who placed Blake
under arrest and took him to Jail.
Blake's bond was fixed at 1000 and he
will be held to the grand jury which
meets next week and it Is quite likely
that the trial will come up at the De
cember term which conveneS on the End
DR. Childs who passed Though Guth
rie Center shortly after Noblasky had
been taken care of at the hospital, says
that the affair created considerable ex-
element. He saw the patient and says
he was resting easily, but so many COM
plications are liable to arise that it will
be miricale if he RECEIVERS.

Tuesday morning the fire department
was called to the home of Hans Albert
sen where it was supposed that the
house was on fire but upon close in
spection there was no fire and there had
been no fire except in the kitchen stove.
A number of neighbors who looked in
the DIRECTION of t. e Albertsen home
were positive that the house was on fire,
because of the heavy smoke that en-
veloped the house. At one time it was
50 dense that the house could not be
seen. This caused neighbors to send in
the fire alarm. Neighbors were soon
on the scene and it looked as though
the smoke was coming from under the
shingles so thick that an explosion
could be looked for at any moment.
Mr.. Albertsen went to his home soon
after the department arrived on the
scene He went up into the attic and
came out to inform the fireman, who
were ready to cut hole in the foot,
that there were no traces of fire. The
commotion was all caused by the smoke
from the chimney being blown down
onto the roof which made it appear

Large Crowd Attend Lecture

Jacob Riis the noted Danish lecturer
and the second number of the lecture
course under the direction of the Com
mercial Club, talked to good sized
audience at the M. E. church last night
on his subject Our Neighbors. Many
believe it to be the best lecture ever
heard in the city. Those who heard
Mr.. Riis have some idea of what il
means to see the other fellow, and how
easily il is to discover good in the in
dividual who on the surface is really
bad. He lectured an hour and half
and all could have listened another
hour and would gladly have done so.
The inclement weather kept many from
attending. Space does not permit us TO
go into details, but it is sufficient to say
that all were pleased with Mr.. Riis.

Broke His Wrist Crankins Auto.

Rutherford Hayes is carrying his
right arm in sling because the engine
kicked backwards while he was crank
ing his Ford car and broke bone just
above the wrist and also spraining the
wrist. Rutherford was coming up town
after supper and had his Ford in front
of his home. He started to crank the
critter, but on account OF the cold
weather the engine did not work as
well as usual. He gave another turn
and the engine went the wrong way.
The result was that Rutherford held
onto the crank and the sudden jerk
broke his wrist. The injury is quite
painful and Mr.. Hayes will be laid up
for awhile.

Will Take a Much Needed Rest

Miss Jessie Hoover, who the past
several years has been assisting her
father, G.. w. Hoover, in the furniture
store, leaves the fore part of next week
for Denver, Colo, where she will re-
main with her sister, Mrs. w. w.
Waldron, until next April. Miss
Hoover has applied herself very closely
to her fathers business, and feels that
she is entitled to a long rest. She has
performed her duties faithfully and if
anyone is entitled to vacation she
certainly is. Her friends hope she will
enjoy the climate in Colorado and that
in every way her stay will be as pleas
ant as she anticipates. Next April we
hope she will return to Audubon better
than ever able to attend to the arduous
duties that devolve upon one who is
connected with furniture business.
During Miss Hoover's absence, Chas
Zion will be in the employ of Mr..
Hoover.

meath. 1t was bad scare and fortu-
nately no damages were done. II de-
layed Mr.. Albertsen's dinner little,

was on fire, hut she insisted that il was

rect. But all's well that ends well, and
this case is no exception.
