GOLDEN SPIKE AT

Some Miscreant Steals Precious
Spike and Treasurer Storz Is
Sad and Drear.
GRANDsrAND IS ALL FINISHED

Some low-life miscreant has COPIED
the golden spike" Thus spoke Treasurer
Adolph Storz of the Omaha Auto Speed
way company, as he took a look at the
place where said golden spike had been
driven last SATURDAY..
We'll. what do you know about that,
some sucker beat me to IT," Thus spoke
Manager Charles FRANKIE. as he cast his
orbs toward the now vacant spot.
The golden spike was gone Sixteen dol
lars worth of Pete Loch's money gone
For Pete bought the spike and presented
It to the company.
Mr. Storz grew quite angry. 1t was an
outrage such q trick should be pulled by
an Omahan. Mr.. FRANKIE was still more
angry. He had eyes on that golden spike
himself Who could have done the deed
Let him beware ever shall Mr.. Storz or
Mr.. FRANKIE catch him.
But, 10. a curious newspaper reporter
wandered near the scene. He listened to
the unexpurgated maledictions hurled by
storz and FRANKIE toward the unknown
mIscreant. He giggled inwardly, for he
had a thought. an a la steve Maloney
thought.
Who stole the spiISef
Cautiously he departed and went to look
for President lie Bron and also Pete
Loeb. He found Mr.. lie Bron. Then he
found Mr.. lie Bron's automobile. He
climbed into the hack, and, looking under
one of the cushions, discovered the previ-
GUS golden spike. lie Bron had COPIED II
himself. Subsequent Investigation proved
Mr. Loeb was in on the coping of his
own spike. No sixteen dollar spike shall
be left for some guy with no sense of
shame to steal. not while lie Bron and
Loeb are alive and healthy and can steal
II themselves.
