STILL HOLD PAIR
WITH FURS, RUGS
Sheriff Finds Two Caught
In Ford Coupe Owned
Rugs In Car.
ONE READY TO SHOOT

Jack Shea and Hugh O'Rourke and
their Ford coupe are still in the Gus
tody of the sheriff in the county Jail
today while further attempts are be-
ing made to clear up their possession
of four valuable fur coats and four
oriental rugs. The pair were captured
on Thursday evening by sheriff's
deputies on the Geneva road after
their actions had aroused the sus-
picions OF several people. On the
driver of the car, Shea, was found a
loaded revolver, which at one stage
during the action of arrest was nearly
brought into use, according to the
story today of one of the deputies.
The possession of the fur coats was
cleared up on Friday afternoon when
fur wholesaler from Chicago came
to the sheriff's Office and identified
the coats as those which he sold to
the pair recently. Shea had offered
bills of sale for the coats, but at first
these were believed to be spurious.
The identity of the owners of the
rugs remains to be established.
Was Thrilling Arrest.
According to further developments
that were revealed today, the motor
cycle officers who made the arrest
were for moment in danger of bull
let holes in their own person. After
the call had come in from Martins
place on the Geneva road to the
sheriff's Office reporting the actions
of the two men, the officers were
despatched to investigate. Deputy
Clarence Erickson was the first to
indicate to the pair driving in the
car that they were being followed. He
motioned to the driver to stop. Erick-
son covered the driver on one side
of the car with his gun while Deputy
Nick Otto covered the car from the
other side. Erickson saw the driver
reach to the floor where he had thrown
his revolver when he saw he was be-
ing followed, and a rap on the wrists
from Erickson prevented any further
damage from that direction. "And
that rap" says Erickson, "is what
makes it possible for me to be here
today, because if he had once got hold
of that gun he would have used it"
Was Handy With His Gun.
Earlier that evening, it was learned
later, Shea had stuck his gun into
the ribs of Dave Sorensen, an en-
ploye of the Matt Rasmussen farm,
just because Shea didn't like him."
it was said. Shea then threatened "to
let daylight through him."
Shea will be kept on charges of
carrying concealed weapons if it
should transpire that the material
found in his car is his own legitimate
as he insists it is.

Narrow Bridge Is
Cause of Accident
Detour on Highway 81 to Avoid
Collision on Bridge.

A narrow bridge was blamed for an
accident which occurred Sunday even
ing about six clock on the detour
on Highway 81 about thirteen miles
northwest OF Kenosha when the auto
mobile driven by j. w. DeBou of
Elgin, Illinois, went into the ditch.
DeBou turned into the ditch to avoid

car was badly damaged but he es-
capped serious injury.

his beliefs and in what he did.
You know. they did the same
thing to Abraham Lincoln. They
cast slurs and sneers at him. They
laughed at is ugly, ungainly form
and face. They said all manner of
mean, contemplate things about
Abraham Lincoln while he was the
leader of his people and president
of these United States.
But the editor of Life, l believe
it was, an Englishman, after the
death of Abraham Lincoln, came
back to speak some of the most
splendid things that could be spo-
ken of any man, and referred to
himself and others, as to how they
had been speaking things, slurring
and saying unkind things, while
this great man, this great soul,
went on in his work and gave his
life for his country, and for it's
unification. And so they have
done with others, not only with
Lincoln, but with Mckinley, with
James A. Garfield, with Theodore

characters of our country, and of
our world. During their lives men
have said unkind things, they have
cast their sneers, they have shot
their arrows of slurs at them, but
when death, the great leveler, has
come, and they have passed from
life into the unseen, then those
things slip away and are forgot
ten, and only the splendid things of
their lives stand out before the
world.
And so it is with the man of
whom 1 am speaking this morning,
William Jennings Bryan. will
speak very briefly of Mr.. Bryan as
a statesman, social reformer and
defender of the faith. First the
statesman: Mr.. Bryan was born
in the little village of Salem, Ill,
in the year 1860, and was educated
in the public schools there, and
later in college at Jacksonville,
Ill. In another school of the same
state, he later took up the study
of law and graduated. A few years
later he removed to Nebraska,
which became his adopted state
from that time on until his death.
Recently he had been spending a
great deal of time, when not on
speaking tours, in the state of Flor
ida. But soon after he went to
Nebraska, as young man but lit
tie past the age of 80 years, he
was elected to the United States
congress as assemblyman, and
there served for two terms, and
distinguished himself very soon
after entering the congress of the
United States by his splendid ora
tory, and in defense of the princi-
Piles for which he stood. I may say
that before he went to congress,
he made a record as orator, TAX
ing first place in some oratory con-

people of our country-a man of
the people, rubbing shoulders with
the people, meeting them face to
face, talking about their problems,
talking about the great demands of
social reform, and standing out as
the great leading character of our
country, and for those things that
the common people were wanting
and demanding.
He sought not only those things,
but the peace of the country, and
the peace of the world speaking
constantly on plans of peace, and
calling upon the people to stand for
peace.
But as defender of "the faith"
he was the outstanding character
of his time. He was not a preach
er in the sense we speak of preach
ers, but was a layman, a man 60
ing about over the country, upon
the platform and in the pulpit, and
upon the street corners, preaching
the Christianity of our Lord Jesus
Christ. And so in real, true
sense, he was a preacher, though
not in the strict ordained sense of
that word. His work has been
telling throughout the country, and
/ don't believe there is another man
in the country that can take his
place, or begin to do what Mr..
Bryan has done in the last few
years.
His last great work was to go
to Dayton, Tenn, to stand up and
fight for our Bible and our Chris
tianity. and the kingdom of God,
and as you have read the papers
concerning that trial, you know
how nobly he stood there in de-
fense of the Bible, believing it to
be the truth Of God, and for Chris

tests in which he had entered. He
served two terms in the United
/ States congress as the representa-.
tive from the state of Nebraska
Had Mr.. Bryan not been nominated
for the presidency, it is very likely
he would have continued in the
United States congress, not only
as an assemblyman, but as a. SEN
ator. He was nominated for the
senate, but was defeated as repre-
sentative to that exalted place.
1t was in the year 1896, as soma
of you recall, when the Democratic
national convention was held in
Chicago, and Mr.. Bryan was sent as
a member from the state of Nebras-
ka to that convention. He had
some difficulty in securing a seat
there, but finally was seated. But
scarcely had he taken his seat,
when opportunity came for him to
speak upon question that was
near to his heart, and so he ap-
peared before that convention and
gave one of the most wonderful
addresses that has ever been CIV
en- before any great national politi-
cal convention, called the Gross
and Crown" address, in which he
closed his address by saying: "You
shall not press down on the brow
of labor this crown of thorns. You
shall not cruelty mankind upon q
cross of gold" And with the clos
ing of that address the convention
actually went wild, and as re-
suit William Jennings Bryan,
dark horse at that time in the con-
vention, and not thought of as a
man for the candidacy when enter
ing that convention, was unani-
mously chosen as the representa-
tive of that party for the presi-
dency of the United States.
And from then on for twenty
nine years, almost a third Of a
century, William Jennings Bryan
has been the outstanding democrat
ic leader in the United States; has
dominated the great party known
by that name throughout the length
and breadth of the country-was,
we might say, the maker and re-
former of that party, out of the
little factions here and there that
were breaking loose from the old
confirmed members of that party.
We have been told that the demo-
cratic party, when Mr.. Bryan be-
came the outstanding leader, was
much like the republican party, so
far as the conditions of the parties
at that time were concerned.
The republican party has been
considered, through the years, a
more conservative party, along
many lines, than has the demo-
cratic party, but so was the demo-
cratic party conservative at that
time. The older members of the
party were men much the same, in
that respect, but there were the
populists and farmers alliance,
and some other little groups that
were breaking up the democratic
party into factions. William Jen-
nings Bryan became the leader of
that party. From the day he was
nominated in 1896, he began to uni
fly and conform the various mem
bers and papers and groups into
the one body known as the demo-
cratic party of this country, and
some one has said he practically
worked a miracle bV bringing it to-

tianity
And l believe the Christian peo-
pie of this country owe a debt of
gratitude they can never repay to
William Jennings Bryan for his
outstanding defense of our God,
of our Christianity, of our Bible,
and 1t seems to me as much as we
need this man to go on in defense
of this mighty work that he was
doing, l somehow believe that his
last great effort there, and death
following it so closely will mean
more, far more, in that cause than
he could have accomplished had he
lived on some years
He was mighty defender of the
faith and the Bible, and because he
was, l think of him and speak OF
him as the great friend who has
finished his work and gone from
our midst
may confess to you that have
been an admirer of William Jen-
nings Bryan ever since that day,
and even before, when he made
that wonderful speech in Chicago
that brought about his nomination
for president of the United States.
And l have been his staunch sup
porter through all these years. He
has been my ideal citizen. And I
have never found, through all his
career, anything that has led me to
change my thought and opinion OF
him. In all his work as a great
political leader, as a great lee
turer around the world, in his work
in defense of our Bible and the
peace of the world L have never
found anything to criticise or find
fault with. He has been my ideal
citizen. l wish we had more such
men as William Jennings Bryan.
The Winslow mail., 1925-08-07

gether into the strong body it has
been through all these years since
Now, not only was he nominated
at that time, but was defeated, as
you know. But he was nominated
at two other conventions after thai
time. So that three times in these
thirty years William Jennings
Bryan was the nominee of his
party for the presidency of the
United States. No other man
friends, has ever had such an hon.
! or thrust upon him, and yet some
one has said that he was the most
/ popular man in the country, except
on election day, and then, oi
course, conditions came about in
which he was defeated.
1t may have been the providence
of God, SO far as we know, that
brought it about, for some one said
Mr.. Bryan doubtless was a more
influential man, and was able to
accomplish more as an ordinary
citizen of this country in the un-
official capacity in which he Ia
bored, than he could have been as
president.
want you to think of him as the
man who could carry his populari-
ty, could hold his leadership, could
hold the people of this country
with such a grip as to be nomi-
mated on three different occasions
for the highest office in this coun-
try. A most extraordinary man and
a most extraordinary achievement
to have accomplished. Not only
was he nominated three different
times, but on most other occasions,
with the exception of one or two
conventions during the period he
dominated the democratic party, he
named the man who was nominated
for that position.
In 1912, when they were having
quite a contest in Baltimore as to
who should be nominated, when
Champ Clark, the speaker of the
house of representatives, seemed
to be the leading man, Mr.. Bryan
took the platform and directed the
campaign at that convention until
Woodrow Wilson was nominated,
and, as you know, was elected, and
succeeded himself in 1916. Mr..
Bryan was the man who brought it
to pass, for Woodrow Wilson's s
chances were slim, indeed, until
William Jennings Bryan took the
leadership there, and led his party
in the nomination of Mr.. Wilson.
You know, of course, that he was
appointed secretary of state under
Mr.. Wilson, as a recognition on the
part of Mr.. Wilson for what he had
done for him in bringing about his
nomination and election. He did
not, however, stay in the position
very long, but resigned from it, be-
cause he could not agree with his
chief on certain questions regard
ing the great World war. He
sought to keep the country out of
war and keep peace as long as he
could, and because of differences
with Mr.. Wilson he resigned.
AS a social reformer: We may
not have thought of him as such,
but he was. He set an example
at Washington, as secretary of
state, when he refused to serve
wine at his dinners. Mr.. Bryan
did not serve wine; he served
grape juice, and they dubbed him
Grape Juice Bryan" They said
The Winslow mail., 1925-08-07

all kinds of sneering things about
him because of that. And want
to say to you, they can sneer at
Mr.. Bryan, but that was one of the
most courageous and bravest things
Mr.. Bryan ever did. OF course, his
enemies did not want to recognize
that he did anything toward bring
ing about our social reforms. Mr..
Bryan could break, and did break,
the custom of serving intoxicating
drinks at state dinners. And he
stood high in the cause of woman's
suffrage, and in the cause of pro-
hibition, as a staunch defender of
those things, and did a great deal
toward bringing them about.
AS the editor of a great paper
said: "The Commoner lived to see
all his theories, except silver,
translated into facts-popular gov
ernment, prohibition. and woman's
suffrage" He was man of the
people, and known as the Great
Commoner."
l wonder if you know how he
came by the name, Great Com
moner." 1t was a most fitting title
for this great man Of the people.
1t was at the time when he was
in Chicago for the first
time. The people were flocking
about him, offering congratula-
tions, when the secretary of the
president Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road came in and offered Mr.. Bry-
an a special car in which to ride to
his home in the state of Nebraska.
One of the reporters spoke up and
said: "Mr. Bryan, you can't do
that. You are the Commoner-the
Great Commoner. You can't do
that" And Mr.. Bryan did not, but
went home as one of the common
