Eighth street, the boys slowed down
slightly, turned the car in toward the
curb and jumped. The pursuers, but
a half block behind, were upon the
scene almost when the boys jumped
and tumbing out as the driver set the
brakes, they gave chase, catching
White easily but allowing the others
to make a temporary getaway.
Landed in Jail White talked freely,
duplicating the other two boys and
several more. Sunday morning Brady
and Jacobs were picked up and by
close questioning the police concluded
that the trio constituted the entire
party.
In police court this morning the
Jacobs boy said. I'VE we're going
home and saw the car sitting there

around. ! thought it was some car

When they got after us at one time
Brady was driving, Fred and were
in the back seat When Brady found
that a car was after us, he quit feed

the hand throttle wide, turned the
steering wheel loose and climbed into
the back seat with us. The car ran

didn't have enough open ground to

had struck the curb when it was run
ming itself guess it would have
turned over two or three times"
Though the boys left the car when
it was rnning some 25 miles an hour
there was no damage done to the
boys or car, The fact that the car was
not damaged is due probably to The
fact that at the time they were feel

BOYS PAY
WELL FOR

Borrow" Kimbro Car and are
Captured After Merry Chase
Of Many Miles - Fined
$40 aud Cost Each

On charges of malicious mischief,
Leo Brady, Fred White and Sylvester
Jacobs, boys of about Is years of age,
we're fined $40 each in police court
this morning, the charges arising from
the abduction Saturday night Of an
automobile belonging to c. Il. Kimbro,
followed by a spirited chase in which
the boys came out second best when
they were pushed so close that they
were forced to quit the car
White was captured with the car
Saturday night but the other two were
taken in tow Sunday after the police
had gotten the story from White, inn
plicating them and several others. The
stories told by White and Jacobs vary
considerably.
Saturday night, Verne Wilder hired
the Kimbro car for the evening and
after riding around the streets for
some time left the car at the corner
of Fifth street and Kansas avenue for
a few moments When he returned
to the spot the car was gone. He at
once reported to the Chickasha gar
age and together with Mr.. Kimbro and
Jack Atkin, set sail in another car in
search OF the wandering ones. The
search was started between 10 and II
o'clock and toward midnight the alb
Quoted car was sighted, speeding
along the streets of the city. Imme-
diately a game of hide and seek
was started, the party in the pilfered
car sprinting, ducking around corners,
through alleys and doubling back un-
til it was difficult to keep their trail
The stolen car Travelled with lights
out and it was only when they flashed
under an arch light that the pursuers
could get line on the general direc-
tion Of their course
After chasing them fully 80 miles,
in which their original trail was
crossed and re-crossed many times,
the pursuers luckily whipped into
Eighth street off of Colorado avenue

Wine Dealers to the King.

From the New York Press.
Wine dealers who are fortunate enough
to get their products into the king $
household are well paid for it. but he
who drinks 1t must have an exception
ally acute taste to discover the name of
the bother. For it is rule in the king $
household that not a bottle of wine shall
appear upon the table bearing the name
of the grower or distributor.
British merchants are prone to make
immense commercial capital out of their
sale of goods or devotion of services to
the royal household. To be a king tailor
carries a prestige that has made men
rich. To have supplied the queens shoes
has been the financial uplifter for many
London tradesman. And these func-
tionaries have not hesitated to make adj
vertising capital out of their connection
with the royal family.
One might easily imagine the prestige
certain wine would attain among the
rich and titled of nations if the label of
the maker We're conspicuously displayed
upon the kings tables. Therefore the
buffers assistants remove the label from
every bottle of liquor before it enters the
dining room. This custom dates from
the reign of George III.
