Brains Bring Hay
To Omaha Exchange

Solve your own car shortage prob
lem, that is the slogan of the Omaha
Hay exchange. This organization is
less than a year old, yet it has in
genuity so clever that it recently in
creased the available cars for hay
hauling by an even l00
How? Why just by making an in
genious suggestion to the Union Pa
cihc, a suggestion so timely and SO
practical that the company took up
with it Immediately.
The Omaha hay dealers we're cry
ing for hay, and the hay growers in
the Platte valley were crying for cars
to ship their hay in So the Omaha
Hay exchange discovered that the big
run of range cattle is over and that
live stock cars are available. They
asked the Union Pacific to line some
Of these cars with tar paper and let
them use them for hay. The Union
Pacific thought the matter over and
decided to go one better. Instead Of
tfsing tar paper, the company used
pine lumber and boarded the cars up
inside. They equipped 100 cars thus
in few days, and today hay is roll
ing into Omaha at a rapid rate in
these cars from the great hay belt
along the Union Pacific.

LURID MOVIES ARE
CAUSE OF SHOOTING
This is the Idea of Probation
Officer Miller as to the
South Side Affair.
ALWAYS WERE FRIENDS

Too many wild west movies-of the
type in which the hero draws from
the hip to kill'-were responsible for
the shooting of Arthur Barnes, a
South Side negro lad, in the opinion
of Probation Officer Gus Miller. !
Barnes is at the South Side hos
pital in a precarious condition, bull
let lodged in his spine and physicians
holding out but scant hopes for his
recovery. He was shot by his chum,
Ben Bell, 1921 South Twenty-sixth
street. at whose home he was spend
ing the night.
y Juvenile court officials say the boys
have always been the best of friends.
Mr.. Miller believes that young
Bell, his imagination running ! riot
as the result Of frequent visits to mo-
ton picture shows offering films of
the zone step farther, Dog-Eared
George, and I'll shoot you down like
the dog that you are brand Of films,
committed the deed on the impulse
of the moment. The juvenile court
officials theory is that Bell was sud-
denly struck with the desire to ex-
perience the sensation of shooting an
other human being and find out for
himself if it provided the thrill as in

Edgar Woman Is Badly
Hurt in Auto Accident

Edgar, Neb., Dec. 5.-(Special)-
Mrs. J. c. Christie, wife of the pas
tor of the Presbyterian church, was
seriously injured Sunday afternoon.
She was returning from Nelson after
attending the funeral of Mrs. Port
wood, with Mr.. Graul in his automo-
bile. 1t was just dusk and the lights
and shadows on the road made it de-
ceptive and the driver went over a
culvert a little too fast and Mrs.
Christie was thrown upon her head,
striking against the top, breaking the
scalp and injuring the spine or base
of the brain in such a manner as to
cause paralysis from the hips down.
A positive prognosis cannot at this
time be made. but It is possible that
the paralysis is due to shock, in which
case few days, at the most, will end
the trouble.

WILD HORSES WERE
ELUSIVE ANIMALS
Cowpuncher Testifies in Fed
eral Court That He Spent
Six Months on Trail.
Widest HE'S EVER SEEN

The elusiveness of the Coconino
county, Arizona, wild horses was told
at some length by Ed Mason, COW
puncher and cattleman of Mitchell,
Neb., testifYng before Judge Joseph
Woodrough of the United States dis
trict court in connection with the cele-
brated Arizona wild horse case" on
Tuesday afternoon.
Mason testified that he met Clyde
Smith and his brother in Omaha in
1910 and through a deal with the for
mer made arrangements to get TWEEN
ty-6ve of the wild horses for some
property he owned at Villisca, Ia,
valued at Sl,500. He was almost
tempted to back out he said, when he
was told that he would have to go out
and catch the horses himself, but after
being assured that the undomsticated
equines would weigh in the neighbor-
hood Of 1000 pounds each, as his con-
tract specified, he declared that he
thought he would take chance at
gathering in some of the wild horses,
especially as he was cowman,
Twas a Different Story.
But it was different, he testified,
when he went to Falstaff, Ariz., to
corral his stock. For ten days, with
the aid of four cowpunchers. he was
not able to rope in single wild AMI
NAL, notwithstanding the fact that
he had been "puncher" all his life,
Coconino county is only about 245 by
1856 miles in area, and Mason was re-
solved that he should have some of
the horses, which, he declared, he had
seen but had been unable to get with
in a half-mile Of. Accordingly, some
time later, he said, he set out in search
of the elusive animals, and in the
course of six months of constant
camping on their trails he was able to
lasso and bring home twenty-three
horses. These, he testified, were very
small and weighed much less than the
1000 pounds Smith had assured him
the animals would tip the scales at.
After breaking the "broncs" and
keeping them about a year he was
able to realize from $40 to $40 per
head, he testified.
Bernard c. Black, reputed as one
of the best gunner and cowpunchers
OF Arizona, testified that he was hired
to go with Hastings and other men,
bers of the accused party to look over
the range where the animals were
reputed to be. He declared that there
were wild horses to be seen, but that
it was impossible to tell how many
there were, because he and the party
never got close enough to catch more
than glimpse Of them,

health-without that there is no real
beauty You can cover up a muddy
