Butchers in Bloody
Battle Over Woman

Three South Side butchers had a
bloody battle late Wednesday night
over woman. Gluko Vlada, 2425 R
street, has been arrested on the charge
of assaulting Petunt Pete and Joe
Pit. All fighters are employed in
the packing houses.
Knives were used so freely that a
stream of blood flowed from the
house where the three men live down
into the street, In fact, it> was by
tracing the blood trail from the side
walk to the various rooms in the
building that detectives found out
what men were in the fight.
The woman in the case is said to
have trifled with the affections of
Vlada, the alleged assailant of the
other two men, who were intimate
friends of the woman.

Acid Words Flying at
Real Estate Exchange

H. H. Harper sailed into the Real
Estate exchange meeting Wednesday
and spoke his mind freely, bitterly
and somewhat vitriolicly.
Harper is not member of the ex.
change, but was invited to attend il
because the exchange had in the
newspapers condemned certain real
estate propositions as class, which
Mr.. Harper thought was aimed quite
directly at him.
Byron Hastings asked that Mr.
Harper be given chance to speak
and Mr.. Harper indulged in some
personalities when he got up, and
likewise indulged in some rather
sweeping denunciations of board
members.

CHAOS RULES NEW
RAILROAD RATES
Shipments from Omaha May
Cost $40 and Same Dis
ance Back $6.45.
ECHO OF ORDER NO. 10

The railroads yesterday began to
charge an increased rate out of Oma.
ha and other jobbing points in the
state and even yet they do not know
whether they have the authority to
do so. Neither do they know whether
they have authority to let them stand
at the old rate, so they took what
they considered the lesser of the two
evils and began to charge the in
crease.
They are demanding more to ship
shirts or overalls from Omaha to
Long Pine or Fairbury or Auburn to-
day, but they are charging the same
old rate to send shirts or overalls
from Waverly to Lodgepole.
While they have raised the rate
from Omaha to Long Pine or Fair
bury or Auburn, they are not sure
that they have the right to charge
that advance from Long Pine, Fair
bury and Auburn to Omaha. Thus il
may cost $40 to ship box a given
distance west and cost $6.45 to ship
it the same distance back to where
it started.
Another Dilemma.
Again, the high rate is in effect
from Omaha to Sidney, but if one
hauls his goods to Florence and loads
them there he can ship them from
Florence through Omaha and thence
to Sidney for much lower rate.
1t all comes about on account Of
the hopeless confusion into which
rates were thrown by the Interstate
Commerce commissions order re-
pealing the Nebraska rates, which had
been in effect under order No. l9 OF
the Nebraska railway commission.
When the federal body repealed
these rates and ordered an advance il
was finally decided the advance
should be effective October rs. The
order affected only rates from the
jobbing centers of Nebraska, which
are clearly outlined as Omaha, Lin.
coin, Beatrice, Norfolk, Columbus
Grand Island, Hastings, St. Paul and
Fremont.
A Sixty-Five Per Cent Increase.
This means that when you ship
anything out of one of these cities
you pay the higher rate, which If
some instances is IS per cent higher
than under the old Nebraska rate. Il
means also that between any other
towns in the state you may continue
to ship as much as you want at the
old rate.
Whether it will continue long tc
cost $40 to ship from Omaha to Po'
dunkville, and only $6.45 to ship from
Podunkville to Omaha, is one of the
points that yet remains to be settled
by the federal court in Omaha.

One of the best indoor sports at
this time is to read the democratic
platform of 1912, four years ago.
Here is one paragraph: THE high
cost of living is serious problem in
every American home. We charge
that excessive prices result, in large
measure, from high tariff laws en-
acted and maintained by the republi-
can party and from trusts and COM
mercial conspiracies fostered and en-
couraged by such laws and we assert
that no substantial relief can be Sc
cured for the people without import
duties on the necessaries Of life are
materially reduced"
Brethren, let us pray!
"A vote for Wilson is vote for
Daniels" is one of the Harveyisms

committee.

governor?"-Diogenes.
What is the use OF answering this,
inasmuch as Mr.. Neville will not be
elected? But If Neville should be
elected-well, what's the use of dis
cussing things that will not happen? ?

matter of more than ordinary im-

FENNIMORE BUILDING BOOM.
Many New Houses, Says Times-NeM
Ford Use.

Fennimore is enjoying quite build
ing boom this summer, many new and
pretty homes being built. Among
those nearing completion or under
course of construction are the VIM.
Earl, James Bowers, John Bacon,
Mrs. c. C. Weber, Julian Bradbury,
L. G. Brechler, Henry Ruchti, Henry
Rosemeyer, Ora Clark. Added to the
above are VIM. Earl's new workshop,
the new lumber yard building for the
Center Lumber Co., which is fast TAX
ing on shape, and the new Catholic
parochial school, the work on which
is now being rapidly pushed along.
Altogether it has been a very busy
time for contractors and artisans gen
orally. Fennimore is enjoying good,
healthy growth. There are no empty
houses in town, in fact the supply is
not sufficient to meet the demand of
those who desire to move here for the
excellent advantages, educational and
otherwise, afforded by our town, which
everyone comedies is one Of the best
in southwestern Wisconsin.
Elmer Hiff1and and Al Fuersten-
berg have found a new use for their
Ford cars. Wednesday and Thursday
they pressed them into service to haul
grain here from their place, eight
miles away. They each made three
trips Wednesday, bringing seven sacks
of winter wheat in each load Thurs
day they made two trips apiece, each
hauling eight sacks of barley to the
load. Smith & Parnell received the
got through nicely with the heavy
loads.

AN EXPERIENCED RACE STARTER.

Ira Murphy, speed superintendent,
was very fortunate last week in secur-

of Chicago, as starter. Mr.. Shields
is a veteran horseman, having follow
ed the business all his life. He came
here from Jefferson and left Satur-
day for Superior where the races open
this week.
Mr.. Shields opened the season as
starter at Edmonton, Sask., Canada,
the third week in June. He will fin
ish in Phoenix, Arizona, the second
week in November, after twenty light
solid weeks of starting races. Mr..
Shields says that the Phoenix races
will run and every day with thous-
ands of dollars in purses being offered.
Mr.. Shields is about As years of
age and is the son and grandson of
horsemen His ancestors were racing
in the days when PAGERS were un-
known and trotters wore saddles. He
had his start at Gloucester, N. j., in
1891, and has been starting races all
over America and Europe since that
time.

orders.
All that is necessary to enter this
contest is to turn to the page ad in
this issue of the Herald-clip out and
fill in the nomination blank, and mail,
send or bring it to the Herald office,
where full information and instruct
ions will be furnished. Or you can
phone or write and ask for informa-
ton about the contest before entering
if you wish.
The Herald has employed Mr.. J. S.
Lackey to take charge of its campaign
and will act as contest manager. His
duties will consist in aiding the con-
testants in every manner possible and
you will find him ready and willing
to help you at any time. The man
agement of the Herald has been per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Lackey
for number of years and has every
confidence that he will see to it that

wait too long before making up their
minds to enter. The person who

should attract great deal Of compe-
tition
Don't make the mistake Of think
ing that there will be SO many in the
contest that you would not have a
chance to win the Buick touring car.
I The other fellow is probably think
ing the same thing, and there is no
reason why you should not have just
as good an opportunity as any one
else-if you will only make up your
mind to give it trial
There are no obligations attached
to entering and the Herald invites
every man or woman, boy or girl, liv-
ing in Lancaster or Grant county to
either send in their own names or the
names of a friend right away. The
sooner the start is made the better the

ing car.
Have you been wishing for an auto
mobile? Here is your opportunity to
back up your wish by little energy
and effort. Phone the Herald and ask
the contest manager for information
about the contest.
