MARBLE WINNING HERE
Democrats Planning To Turn Down
Thompson in Dickinson

1t may be that the postoffice poll
ticians do not know II but there is
a strong probability that George w.
Marble of TT Scott will carry the
county for Democratic candidate for
United states senator A quiet cam
paign is going on all over the coun-
ty for the popular editor candidate
that is gaining force rapidly Thomp-
sons unpopularity because of his
many breaks and his appointments
has made Democrats eager for
candidate who really represents the
party. II will be the shock of his
life to the senator when he gets the
news from Dickinson that he has
lost here for he is counting strong

SUES CITY
OF HOPE FOR 5000

Suit was filed in the district court
Wednesday in which the plaintiff,
II. e. Fitzgerald of Gypsum, asks
for $4,000 damages from the City of
Hope for the death of his son which
occurred in September 1917. The
suit was filed in the district court
once before but was dismissed.
The petition states that Mr.. Fitz-
geralds son, Edward, met his death
when his Ford ran off culvert
south of Hope. According to the Pc
tition the culyert was too narrow at
that place. The petition a:so says
that grass and dirt had been filled
in along the road making 1t appear
wider than ii really was. This caused
young Fitzgerald to drive to the very
edge Of the road and when he came
TO the culyert his Ford ran off, turn
ing turtle and killing the boy, ac-
cording to the plaintiff.
The amount Of damages asked,
SIS, 900, is the same as was asked in
the petition filed last October.

WE'LL NOW, HE ISN'T A FAT
MAN AFTER ALL, is HE?

Henry Ford and his son, Edsel
Ford, accompanied by r. 2. Rice Of
Kansas City, went thru Abilene
Tuesday afternoon while on the way
to Salina
One man who saw him said, Why
that isn't the man that makes the
jitneys. I've always heard the real
Ford was so fat he couldn't get I'M
der a steering wheel"
But 1t was the real Mr. Ford just
the same, He is a medium man in
height and quite slender One dear
secret was learned Mr.. Ford was
fifty-fiye years old yesterday When
he got to Salina he had quite time
Mr.. Ford's most difficult job was
lodging reporters, all Of whom we're
after him. Seeing a lady with a note
book and pencil approaching him,
Mr.. Ford ordered his chauffeur to
hide out. The girl cut across corners,
however, and as the car came up she
jumped on to the running board and
hung on.
"Ah I'll bet you" he said to her
when she told him who she was
"Well, you earned word, but there
isn't much to say We're here and
that's about all there is to it. ! very
seldom have much to say to the
press"
After driving over some of the
plowed ground, the Fordson had
turned under he had the car stop
ped.
This is a great country" Mr..
Ford said, "and after seeing it we
have raised the estimate of the pro-
duction of our plant to two million.
when will the war end" he was
asked.
"Well, it will end when we have
enough militarism."
Isn't that a little contrary to
your previous attitude towrad the
struggle" the young lady asked.
Not at ALL" he declared Il have
always said that we must have
enough militarism before the con-
nict would cease, and / believe that
this war will end only when we get
enough of the militaristic spirit /
wouldn't be in this thing at all, II
didn't think that in the end we will
have enough militarism to last thru
the ages"
He had said more in Saline county
than he had said in weeks for the
press and it was only on further
urging that he admitted the show a
great one and that salina was a fine
little town and that he liked the
west.

FIRE AT SOLOMON
TWO STORES DESTROYED AND
OTHERS DAMAGED
Explosion OF Ammonia Tank Aided
In Quickly Spreading Fire To
Buildings

The John McCleskey millinery
and news store and the Geo. Wad-
dell meat market we're destroyed and
a restaurant and real estate office
were damaged by fire at Solomon at
$3.50 O'Clock Monday morning. The
total loss amounts TO about $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
The fire started in the meat mark
ct which was wooden building.
The heat caused an ammonia tank 10
explode scattering things about and
aiding in quickly spreading the fire
The millinery and book store, which
was also frame structure, soon
caught. The two buildings burned TO
the ground. The Solomon fire de-
partment got into action and stop
ped the flames in time TO save two
wooden buildings, a real estate of
flee and a restaurant. They we're
damaged somewhat, however. The
manager of the restaurant moved
all his goods into the street in order
to be on the safe side.
The fire was entirely out by five
o'clock. The flames would probably
have spread to other buildings had
it not been that the adjoining struc
lures were made of brick. This is
Solomons first bad fire in nearly a
year.
