ers will hold a committee meet
ing next Friday and a regular meet
ing Saturday, at which it is hoped
everything will be cleared up to
60 ahead with the special election
for the $3,000,000 county paving
bonds.
County Attorney Shotwell has not
yet prepared the petition for the
election, which must have at least ~
sjgners. He is waiting for word
from the Omaha Automobile club,
Chamber of Commerce and other
bodies of men who are behind the
election.
II have no doubt all these bodies
will go ahead enthusiastically now, -
said w. B. Cheek. president of the
Automobile club. "The decision Of
the county attorney to the effect that
the roads to be paved must not be
designated in the proclamation call
ing for the election won't put any
obstacle in the way of the success
of the election"
II think" said County Commits
sicner O'Connor, "that the bonds
will easily be voted by the three
fifths vote required. We are mere
1y waiting for the petition to be
submitted to us to issue the procla-
nation for the special election"
The election will be held, it is
believed. before June Is.

Held On Bad Check
Charge Second Time
Within Three Months

For a second time within three
months, Walter Lorenson alias Sor-
ensen alias John G. Anderson
young farmer living near Sioux
City, Ia, was arrested here for pass
ing worthless checks.
Private Detective Larry Flynn
watched him pass two checks, SIS
and $50, respectively, at the Bran
deis stores yesterday. At the police
station, numerous blank checks
on the Wisner National bank OF
Wisner, Neb., were found in his
pockets.
Unconcernedly, the farmer told
Chief of Detectives Dunn: ooh, |
just needed the money to go home.
Three months ago Lorenson left
a trail OF checks through Omaha
banks and stores that nearly at
tracted the attention of the United
States treasury. He was convicted
of forgery and fined $3.50 in district
court, according to court records.
