for moment, did not associate the oc-
curance at first with the storm. but

HARRIET OLSON
Wanted TASTE
OF LIFE IN CITY
Farm Girl Arrested After So.
journ of Three Hours in
Omaha; Returned to
Parents.

A race between a passenger train
and an automobile rivaling anything
the movies ever attempted in that
line was enacted yesterday after
noon between Rising City, Neb. and
Omaha, when Mr.. and Mrs John
Olson of Rising City pursued their
daughter, Harriet, who had shaken
the dust of the old farm from her
heels and set out by train for
Omaha.
Harriet was taken into custody
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
Detectives Franks and Graham and
turned over to her parents.
Yesterday morning Harriet rose
in the still dawn. hitched fathers
best steed to the shay and bade good
bye to the old farm. A cloud of
dust announced her departure for
the big city.
Father and mother borrowed a
neighbours rig and started in pur-
suit. Harriet reached Rising City
in time to catch the train for
Omaha, in fact she had almost too
much time. Father and mother
hove into sight far down the road
just as the train pulled out for the
metropolis. They communicated an
automobile and followed.
Harriet arrived in Omaha at noon,
father and mother at 3 o'clock.
Detectives Franks and Graham
were put on Harriet's trail and 10
minutes later she was apprehended
at Sixteenth and Spring streets with
girl friend.
"Ill run away again." she sobbed,
stamping a dainty little foot. Il have
to work hard on the farm all day
and then when evening comes have
to sit around and can't 60 out like
the other girls do. l don't get any
nice clothes, either. Everything is so
quiet and dead down on the farm
in the evening. | want to live in a
big city"
Mr.. and Mrs. Olson took their
places at the SIDE of Harriet and
started for the old farm. Harriet
pouted but offered no resistance.

Owners Of Wrecked

Expenses Of Disaster

Chicago, July 24.-G. M. Stadel-
man, vice president of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co., owners of the
Inflated dirigible which cost IS lives
and the injury of % other persons.
when it burned and crashed through
the skylight of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank Monday, has issued
a statement through his attorney.
saying the company will pay all
financial expenses caused by the &C
cident, entirely of its own free will.
"Any families who have suffered
. because of this accident will only
have to present the bills to our
company to have them paid" the
statement said. retrospective of
what the Investigations may disclose
as to our responsibility, we wish to
be allowed to afford all possible
! facilities for the care of the persons
and families afflicted"
Because of the lack of law COW
ering the blimp case, it is probable
there will be no criminal prosecu-
ton, Coroner Hoffman said today,
"but it will lead to the passage of
rigid flying laws" he declared.
The investiga tons which were
adjourned yesterday will be resumed

Omahans to Take Part
in Balloon Flights at
St. Louis This Fall

The announcement that prl-
vately owned balloon, manned by A.
Leo Stevens, balloon instructor, and
1t. Col. Jacob w. S. Wuest, COM
handing officer at Fort Omaha, will
enter the international balloon races
for distance and altitude at St. Louis
October |, was made yesterday at
Fort Omaha.
Arrangements have been made by
Mr.. Stevens with the Goodyear
Rubber Co. of Dayton, O., for the
manufacture of an 10000 cubic feet
balloon which will be used in max
ing the flight. Mr.. Stevens left last
evening for Dayton to complete de-
tails of the purchase. The balloon
will cost $4,000
That Colonel Wuest may find it
necessary to doff his silver leaf tenn
porarily, in view of the fact that
special army order is neces-
sary to permit an army officer to
compete in civilian meet, is
thought probable. The colonel is
awaiting advices from Washington
on the subject. He says he will
enter regardless.
The St. Louis meet was arranged
some months ago. 1t will be the
first great aviation contest since the
Paris gathering, when balloons from
all parts of the world competed for
the James Gordon Bennett cup and
approximately $4,000. in prizes
Entrants from France, England,
Italy, Switzerland and Spain are
expected.

ATTACH ENT ON
CATTLE IN YARDS
Shipment of Live Stock From
New Mexico Rancher Held
Pending Suit in Dis.
trict Court.

An attachment for $35000 on 261
head of cattle now in the hands OF
Clay, Robinson & Co., South Side
live stock commission house, was
issued yesterday afternoon by Dis
trict Judge Estelle. The cattle were
shipped here by 1.-The Kern Land &
Cattle Co. of New Mexico and the
attachment is the outgrowth of an
alleged seizure of large herd OF
cattle in New Mexico in 1916.
Suit was brought yesterday in
district court by Thomas J. Dona-
hue against H. A. Jastro, Wallace
Birchfield, Victoria Land & Cattle
Co. and the Kern Land & Cattle Co.
for ,$35,S40 The attachment was
issued in support of the suit. Jastro
it is stated, is the owner of the two
cattle companies.
Donahue alleges that on May rs
1916, he and a number of cowboys
in his employ were driving 2,40O
head of cattle from International
Monument No. o6, on the Mexican
border, to Hachita, N. NJ, for ship
ment. When near the High Lone
some ranch, he says, they were
stopped by agents of Jastro with a
demand for payment of $4,000
which Jastro alleged to be due to
him. He says they threatened to
drive his cattle across the border
into Old Mexico, where, at that
time, there were thousands of insur
rectos and Villistas.
As he didn't have enough cowboys
to resist the demands, he says, he
paid $4,000. He says that while the
cattle were in the hands of Jastro's
agents they lost 239, of which he
recovered only 90, and he asks S.
$40 for these. He also asks $4,000
damages for his trouble.

a tree, caws a few times. and oon the
tree Is full of rows. Then the tame
crow flies home, followed by the Wild
ones. Tixel says he has no objection
to the crow bringing home its broth
ers, but when he coaxes them into
his barn and they begin to banquet on
his oats, corn and wheat. 1t Is more
than he can stand. He will give the
crow one more chance. and IL II does
not stop its performance of goes Its

Tixel says he has shot close to 100
crows in his barn. but IL does not de-
plete the ranks. They have eaten at

Fear That Supplies Are Sent to

Dublin, Nov. S.-American steamers

The United States shipping board
steamers Lake Fontaipa, from New
