COMMITTEEMAN TO
 GET THEIR EXPENSES

Newort, May 30.-The Jack son County Democratic Central Committee met in Newport Sat urday and reorganized by elect ing Geo. A Hillhouse as chair man and Perry Clark as secre- tary. The committee recom- mended Leon Mack and P. H. Vandyke as Democratic mem-

 THIS SECTION IS DEAD

Aunt I3abeP Lamb, who died at her home near Hickory Valley Sunday, was 94 years of age, and probably the oldest resident of Independence coun- ty.

 The deceased, who resided here for some time, before go- ing to Hickory Valley, had many friends here and was lov- ed by all who knew her.
 She leaves an only daughter, Mrs. Johnson, of this place.

SWIFTON BANK IS
 LOOTED BY YEGGS
Robbers Discovered Just in Time to Prevent Their Secur- ing All of Banks Cash

Swifton, May 29.-After working the combination on the outer door and blowingtwo inner doors of the vault in the Bank of Swifton, three yeggs escaped about 1:30 o'clock this morning with between $0 and $50. Deputy Sheriff J. l. Hast ings of Newport and Constable l. Bush of Swifton trailed the three men several miles into dense underbrush near Swifton where they lost their trail.
 The robbers, after getting through three doors had soap ed' the fourth door prepara- tory to pouring nitroglycerine in around the edges, when FL mo Young, a young man sleep ing next door, was awakened. He ran to the door and fired at the men several times with a small caliber pistol. The men ran to a small toolhouse, where it is believed they hoped to steal hand-car, but finding none in the house, continued their flight on foot. Several thousand dollars were behind the fourth door of the safe.
 There have been several rob- berries in this section in the last three weeks and local officers believe that the three men are members of an organized gang operating in Jackson county.

RACES AUTO AGAINST
 l. M. TRAIN AND WINS
Dr. Evans Outruns Train Over Road That Was Until Re- gently Worst in County

Dr. A. A. Evans last Satur- day evening pulled off little stunt" with his new Maxwell car that affords actual proof of the remarkable improvement of road conditions in this part of the county.
 Dr. and Mrs. Evans and lit- tie son, Willis, and Miss Etta Johnson were at the station in the doctors car when the passenger train pulled in. When the train left the station pr. Evans started his car, running alongside the train most of the way and ran into Paroquet ahead of the train. At one point where the road is a little rough for some distance, Dr. Evans had to slow down a little and the train passed its full length ahead of him. But after pass ing the rough place he speeded up, easily passing the train, and ran in to the station at Paro- quet some distance ahead of the train.
 The little speed contest fur nished considerable amusement for the passengers and brought out quite Q lot of favorable comment upon Dr. Evans skill as driver.
 Up until a few years ago it was almost impossible to drive wagon and team over this road to Paroquet except for a few months during the late summer, and no longer than a year ago 1t was considered an impossible road for an auto.
 Incidentally this is splen- did tribute to the skill of J. ". Slsk as a road builder. When MT. Sisk was appointed road overseer, this was the worst piece of road in Big Bottom township, and it had always been considered by other over seers as almost an impossible task to build a road from here to Paroquet. And while the citizens of the township hardly realize that it has been done. or how it was done, MT. Sisk has taken the worst piece of road in the township and made a good road of it, as is evidenc-

in this case, as in the cases of umpires
in ball games and referees in glove
contests, exceeds his authority when
he dictates to contestants the style or
method OF their play, unless in his
opinion he sees some dishonesty. In
this case there was no dishonesty
charged or limited at.
All things considered, ! earnestly
advise an abandonment of all plans
looking to a resumption Of the con-
test at this time"
Everybody Dissatisfied.
About the only topic OF CONVERSE
ton in Omaha yesterday was the
Stecher-Lewis match, and there
wasn't a satisfied customer to be
found, Everybody was peevish about
the outcome and predictions that the
wrestling fraternity would do we'll to
give Omaha a wide berth in the fu-
tpre were frequent.
Lewis, of course, came in for most
of the panning. The large majority
absolved Stecher from all blame and
declared Lewis ran away from Joe.
Others upheld Lewis and said he
showed Joe up.
Lewis Played Own Game.
But setting aside all prejudice and
taking an unbiased view of the whole
affair, both wrestlers had their share
in the disappointing results. OF
course, firm the standpoint of the
public Lewis is due for the panning.
But from the Lewis standpoint it was
a Lewis match, The Stranger was
perfectly within his rights when he
played his defensive game. He went
into the ring with the view of keep
ing away from Stecher until the end.
He accomplished his purpose. To
Lewis himself it was a Lewis victory.
And it will mean thousands of dol
lars to the Stranger. He can flood
the east and the south where he is
a favorite, with publicity from Tues
days match. And it will mean money
in the Lewis Golfers, Lewis killed
himself as far as Nebraska is con-
cerned. He beat the public to win
for himself. And although any man
in the world probably would shave
adopted similarly distasteful tactics to
lmeather his own nest, very few paid
out their money to see the match
will have much besides abuse for
Lewis.
On the other hand Stecher found
himself completely baffled by the
Stranger, Try as he did, he could
not penetrate that defense. After
the match Joe admitted Lewis was too
strong for him, that he couldn't get
behind him.
But there was one thing noticeable
in the conversation of the fans yes
terday Not man disputed the in
tegrity of the match. Not voice
was heard to suggest fake. Every
body granted that both Stecher and
Lewis wrestled absolutely on the
square. And that is something at
least.
