Sheriff II. J. Cummings made the ar
rest OF an automobile thief Friday
evening about six o'clock at the Nc
Henry crossing just west of town when
he stopped young man driving a
Ford machine at the request of Geo.
Reynolds, of Arion, who phoned to
Denison stating that the car had pass
ed through there going about forty
miles an hour. Upon receiving word
from Reynolds the sheriff started out
in his roadster and stationed himself
at the McHenry crossing where he
could not easily be seen. 1t was only
a few minutes later when the Ford
came pounding along at thirty-five
mile an hour clip and Hank signalled
the fellow to stop, but he paid no at
tention. The sheriff jumped ON the
running board of the car and was
not long in getting the man to stop
He questioned him and believing there
was some mystery in regard to the
car called up the Council Bluffs po.
lice giving a description of the ma
chine. They reported no machine of
that description missing from that
place, but volunteered to call up the
Omaha police and it was only short
time until Mr.. Cummings received
call from Omaha stating that a Ford
belonging to Miss Lillian Hansen had
been stolen Friday morning between
nine and eleven o'clock When Mr..
Cummings talked with the man in re-

taking it and stataed that he did so
upon the orders of another party who
had told him he would kill him I'M
less the car was driven to a town in
cetrnal Iowa and a new Iowa license
procured, when he was to drive back
to Omaha. The man gave his name
as James Sanclair.
Saturday afternoon an officer from
Omaha and the brother of Miss Han
sen came to Denison for the prisoner

The fourth of July celebrations in
Crawford county were greatly inter.

early Tuesday morning. which in some
parts of the county continued until the
noon hour. At an early hour Tues.
day morning it looked threatening aud
by o'clock it seemed that the bot

a perfect deluge of rain fell
The celebration at the Bruederschaft
park, which was planned for the Ger

school, was called off on account of the
weather, the roads being in such con.
dition that it would have been out of
the question for people from dis.
tance to be in attendance. The cele.
bration was postponed until today
and the program as originally planned
is being carried out at the park this
afternoon.
Both Dow City and Manila had
made extensive preparations for cele-
brating the fourth and at both places
considerable money had been spent
for entertainment. At Manila the eel.
ebration was held Notwithstanding the
fact that the streets we're a sea of mud
and the spirits of the celebrators con.
siderably dampened. 1t was good
celebration, however. and people who
were brave enough to make the trip
to Manila felt well repaid for their ef-
fort. At Dow City the celebration was

fine program had been arranged, one
of the main features being an automo.

decorated for the occasion. not only
by citizens in Dow City, but by farm.

have been out of the question to have
held the automobile parade and mas.

| ."We fully endorse the action of the
republican national convention at Chi.
cago in selecting as our candidate for
president Chas. L. Hughes and for vice
president Chas. w. Fairbanks, as well
as for the platform promulgated by the
party. Under the leadership of our
great candidates and with a reunited
party, we predict republican victory
at the polls in November.
1--WE fully endorse the state ticket
of the republican party in Iowa, as
we'll as the county ticket in Crawford
county, and we pledge the support of
the united party in the county in favor
of the election of our several candi
dates"
The convention was we'll attended
considering the time of the year and
the state of the weather. Almost ev
cry precinct in the county was repre-.
sented in the convention. After the
formal work of the convention was
over the several candidates for office
in the county were called upon to ad
dress the convention. All who were
present responded briefly. Mr.. r. II.
T;unge, of Charter Oak. candidate for
treasurer, was present and met for the
first time great many republicans
He appeared before the convention, not
for the purpose Of making a speech,
because that is not in his line, but to
show himself so that the delegates
could have a chance of meeting him.
He was heartily cheered by the dele
gates when he appeared. The best OF
feeling prevailed and the prediction
was made that this is a republican year
and Crawford county will show ma.
jority in favor of the republican party
not only on the national ticket, but on
the state and county tickets as well.
After the convention adjourned, the
members of the county central commit
tee held short session and elected
officers. l. A. Mains was named for
chairman of the central committee and
T.. F.. Tucker as secretary. The con.
vention passed resolution expressing
desire for Mr.. Mains retention as
chairman. Both the chairman and
secretary are familiar with conditions
in Crawford county and will be able
to make good showing for the party.
The convention was able to close it's
work by 1880 and made prompt ad
journment so that the delegates could
take early trains for their homes.
Mrs. Burton Messer and little son.
of Sheldon, Ia, are spending the week
in Denison visiting at the home of
Dr. and Mrs. McConnaughey. Mrs
Messer will be better remembered by
Denison people as Miss Nell Stoner,
who formerly taught the kindergarten
in the public schools. Mr.. and Mrs.
Messer are returning home from an au.

REPORT THAT CURFEW

A number of complaints have been
made recently that the curfew ordi-
nance. is not as effective as formerly
in keeping unattended children of the
public streets after s O'Clock at night
and the newspapers have been asked
to state that its provisions are stlll in
force. Protest was made this morn
ing to the loud, boisterous play OF a
bunch Of boys of tender age at the
corner of Fourth street and Macon
avenue Friday night long after the
curfew had blown. They are said TO
have made din and racket until
