to desire that, and if his wish be
denied he has the further inalienable
right to seek more congenial COM

POLICE PURSUE
 WILD TRANSFER THROUGH TRAFFIC
Belabors Cop With Whip When Officer Tries to
 Climb Into Dumpcart.

Playing his horses with a whip as he drove madly through the business heart of the city yesterday afternoon, to escape half dozen traffic officers, who had communicated an automo- bile to catch him, Patrick Cox, a resi- dent of Beechmont avenue, narrowly escaped killing a baby and colliding with other vehicles before the mad career of his team was brought to a stop.
 According to the testimony in court this morning, Cox was reprimanded at State and Main streets by Traffic Officer Cody, for refusing to heed traffic signals. Words followed and the attempt of the policeman to further advise Cox, was stopped by the, latter whipping up the horses which were attached to a dump cart and galloping down to Water street, from Water he tore up Wall street ta Main again, traffic officers joining Cody in the pursuit.
 Officer Edward Daley grabbed one of the brides and attempted to halt the team, but Cox whipped the horses the harder To avoid being damned between standing auto and the team Daley was forced to let go his hold. He next tried to climb over the back of the wagon but claims Cox stopped him by trying to hit him with the whip.
 At Fairfield avenue and Main street the team plunged through stalled traffic narrowly missing collision, woman with baby carriage reaching the sidewalk just in time to avoid being struck. Hundreds of pedestrians had joined the pursuers and the police had obtained an automobile.
 Down Fairfield avenue team and pursuers flew. When near the At lantic Hotel several officers jumped for the bridle and managed to halt the team. In his on defense Cox said the horses got beyond his control.
 Judge Bartlett when sentence was passed, said, "Tll impose a fine of $25 although I really think you ought to go to jail."

The first permanent settlement in the new world was established at Pan- anna Aug. 16 1519, by Pedrarias, the Spanish governor. In exploring the Pacific coast along the isthmus the Spanish adyenturers found a small fishing village called Panama, and on the date given above the governor es- tablished his capital there. Two years later, by royal decree, Panama. was made a city and the seat of bishop. Panama became the center for Span ish explorations in North and South America. and many expeditions were sent out from there in search of gold. It was from Panama, in 1524, that Pizarro began the voyage which end ed in the discovery of Peru. After that highway was established across the isthmus, following much the same route as the Panama canal. and over this the wealth of Peru was transport- ed to the Spanish treasure ships in the Atlantic. To this day small sections of paved road are to be seen as relics of the old Spanish highway over which so much treasure was carried.

FLAG DAY. JUNE 18th.
Proclamation by President Woodrow
Wilson.

President Wilson has issued a
proclamation calling on the people OF
the United States to celebrate Flag
day, June IA, with patriotic exercises.
The proclamation follows:
my Fellow Countrymen: Many
circumstances have recently consplr-
ed to turn our thoughts to a critical
examination of the conditions of our
national life, OF the influences which
have seemed to threaten to diviae US
in interest and sympathy.
81, therefore, suggest and request
that throughout the nation means
shall be taken to give significant en-
preston to our thoughtful love OF
America, u comprehension OF the
great mission of liberty and justice to
which we have devoted ourselves as
a people, our determination to make
the nation greater and purer with
each generation, and u resolution
to demonstrate to all the world its
vital union in sentiment and purpose.
LET us on that day rededicate our
selves to the nation, one and INSOFAR
able from which every thought that
is not worthy of our fathers first
VOWS Of independence, liberty and
rights shall be excluded and in which
we shall stand with united hearts for
an America which no man can cor
rupt, no Influence draw away from
it's ideals, no force divide against it.

birthday dinner on his wife, and on
Sunday, June 4th she turned the joke
on him and made a birthday dinner
for him. And to say Harvey was not
surprised for once in his life is put
ting it mildly. His n%eighbor w. F..
Balm called him over to look at his
corn field while the crowd gathered
and when he was called home to din
ner the yard was full of people and
he said he didn't know whether to
venture home or not. A bounteous
dinner vas served to which all did
ample justice.
Those present were I4rs. w. 'P.

For five minuthe last Wednesday
afternoon from 200 to 2:05, there
was a complete cessation of activity
on the whole Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad as a mark Of respect
for the late James J. Hill, empire
builder and pioneer railroad man,
whose funeral took place that day at
st. Paul, MINI. For five minutes not
a wheel turned, not a hammer sound
ed or other pieces of machinery NOV
ed on the great railroad system. a.
Just at 2 O'Clock every man in
the Creston shops, yards and on the
Creston division stopped right where
he was and did not do a tap until
2:05. Passenger train No. 4 from
the west and passenger No. 4 from
the south and all other trains near
Creston stopped just where they
happened to be at 2 o'clock. During
that five minutes every man in the
employ of the Burlington and some

Gets Lightning Shock.

Clyde Laird, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bud Laird, living about 8 miles west
OF kellerton, received a lightning
shock last Sunday evening near the
l.. l.. Dady home. After church Sun
day evening he had gone to the Dady
home and had been out putting his
team which was in the driveway, in
the barn. The night was quite dark
and on starting for the house he was
compelled to feel his way along, his
hand coming in contact with a post
which was pretty well covered with
wire just at the right time to receive
the shock as a severe electrical storm
was taking place. The shock knock
ed Clyde to his knees and that is
about all he remembers of the affair.
He managed to get up however, and
made his way to the house and al
most fell against the door. When he
entered the house Mr.. Dady saw that
he was in a daze dcondition and ask
ed what was wrong, Clyde replied by
saying: "I'guess it got me-" He was
finally persuaded to go to bed at the
Dady home and was taken the next
morning to his home. At present he
is getting along quite we'll and has
been able to get around some.-Kel-
lerton Globe.
