day afternoon on the Lincoln Highwa!
about 3 mile east of Sedgwick, when
two car, one Ford coupe and Buick
Six touring car crashed into each other
in head -on collision, both automo-
biles being badly damaged, nnd the

The Buick was following another
car, a Coles. both running at high
rate of speed and were westward
bound. The Ford. which was being
driven by Frank Conrad, of Grafton
Nebr., he being accompanied by his
wife, and they were headed east to-
wards Julesburg, they returning from
a Today trip to the mountains. The
Coles turned out of the road to the
right to let the Ford pass, but the
driver of the Buick, who was immedi-
ately behind the Cole car, upon see
ing the Ford, lost his head and in
stead of turning to the right. turned
to the left and smashed into the Ford,
practically demolishing the Ford and
badly demaging the Buick.
As soon as the accident occurred
the iriver of the Cole came back and
picked up the Buick driver. and hur-
ried him into Sedgwick, first un-
loading the Buick car, which it is
claimed to have been loaded with
booze. The Buick car was then
towed into Sedgwck for repairs. but
Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad, occupants of the
Ford car were left at the scene OF the
accident until another car came along
and took them into Sedgwick, the
drivers of the Cole and Buick. whose
names We nave been unable to learn,
leaving them to their plight. With
in a short time after the accident the
Cole car made its getaway supposedly
headed for Denver loaded with booze,
which had been unloaded from the
Buick after the accident
Mr.. Conrad was the most seriously
injured, he being badly cut up and
several rib broken and otherwise in
ternally injured. Mrs. Conrad was al
so badly bruised, sustaining bad
cut on one limb. The driver Of the
Buick, who gave his address as Den
YER, was also bruised up, but was able
to resume his journey to Denver that
evening. DIR. Cook of this city was
summoned, and went to Sedgwick FIJI
day evening where he administered
medical aid. Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad

evening and taken to the home of Mr.

as well as could be expected.

DRAFT EVADER
TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY BY OF.
Fl(ERSSATURDAY

Quite little excitement was in or
der last Saturday afternoon when Mar
shall Templeton, accompanied BY U.
+. Detective Plymell. arrested negro
who gave his name as Frank Mitchell
upon charge of evading the draft
and failing to register.
The episode had its beginning last
Thursday. Sept. 18th when the negro
appeared before the local draft board
and Informed them that he had regis
tered for selective service in 1917 At
Wichita, Kansas, and to prove this,
Mitchell exhibited fictitious regis
tration card, which Immediately
aroused the supicion of the board.
Chairman George II. Thompson, of
the local board wired the authorities
at Wichita to ascertain whether or
not Mitchell's story was true, and the
following day the local board re-
ceived word from Wichita that Nit
chell was not registered in that city.
Upon receipt of word from the
officers at Wichita, the local board
instructed Marshal Tempeton to
take Mitchell into custody as a draft
evader. Upon reaching the railroad
yards in search of the negro, Temple
ton was joined by Special Officer
Plymell, and together they vert to
bunk car, where Mitchell was found,
he having been working for the rail-
road at This point for the past several
weeks
When the officers made their ap-
pearance Mitchell started to raise "a
rough house" ard told Marshal Tem-
pleton he would not go. The marshal
brought his gun out and covered the
negro. but this did not seem to have
much effect, he starting at Temple
ton in a ferocious manner About
this time officer Plymell raped Nit
chell in the head with his billy club,
temporarily putting the hurley negro
out of commission. When he came
too, Mitchell decided he had best ac-
company the officers, and he was land
ed in the county Jail to await further
disposition of his case
The local board notified the govern
ment authorities at Denver. and a
deputy United States Marshal arrived
here Sunday, and Monday morning, in
company with Deputy Sheriff Henry
kinsman, took the prisoner to holyok.
to appear before a U. S. Commission
er at that place. Thus ended the ep.
sode as far as the local authorities
are connected. and Mitchell is now in
the hands Of the government officials.
