MEETS DEATH IN
RAIL ACCIDENT
'DENVER PASSENGER PLUNGES
INTO PLATTE RIVER
!Eody of Fireman Elmer C Snedeker
la Still Missing No Other
Fatalities
Elmer C. Snedeker of Sterling, fire
man on passenger train No. 803, run
ning between Alliance and Denver, is
Relieved to have lost his life when the
engine and first baggage ear plunged!
into the Platte river about 2:30 Tues-I
"day afternoon near Union, Colo. For
several days parties have been search
in?, but this morning the body has not
. been recovered, and it is thought that
along the banks or on the bottom of
'the ftream, or in the cab-of the loco
emotive.
The accident wa3 due to the bridge
driving away beneath the engine after
heiag weakened by the high water.
The engine plunged into the stream
.-and was completely submerged. The
- -first baggage car remained with the
ffront end under the water, being p re
Tented from following the engine into
-the water by the safety chains.
Engineer George Fouts of Denver
-and Fireman Snedeker were on the
ngine when it plunged into the river.
The engineer leaped into the river as
the engine struck the water and at
last succeeded in reaching the banks
of the stream after struggling for
some minutes in the water.
The cries of Fireman Snedeker were
lieard from the middle of the river a
short time after the accident occurred.
It was believed that he wa3 floating
downstream on a log. Engineer Fouts
was the last man to see him.
The baggageman in the first car was
Tescued with difficulty by the crew as
the coach balanced on the edge of the
stream. Two passengers in the rear
oach reported slight injuries, and sev
eral others suffered from minor
bruises and the nervous shock.
Due to fear that th rush of the
waters and the weight of the engine;
would drag the rest of the train into
the river, the members of the crew
liammered at the safety chains until
they snapped, and the baggage car
-was drawn into the water with the
locomotive.
Union Pacific train No. 11, detoured
over the Burlineton. had passed over
the trestle only half an hour before 1
the accident occurred, but the pilings
of the structure had been weakened
by therpounding of the swollen waters
and gave way under the weight of the
locomotive when the Burlington train
followed.
Fireman Snedeker leaves a wife and
three children in Sterling. A cousin,
Al SnedekerJs publisher of the Hol
yoke, Colo., Enterprise.
A sister of Snedeker's. Mrs. John
Overman, lives in Alliance. Aecom
, panied by her husband, she left
Wednesday for the scene of the wreck.
Alliance relatives believed that the; colony is located, as weu as conum
body would be found in the eneine cab . intr other property of considerable
when the locomotive is taken from the
Tiver. The missing man is the son of
. Mr. and Mrs. Clark Snedeker, former
Alliance residents.
Trains between Dencer and Alliance
nce have been detoured by way of
- Sidney and Cheyenne since the bridge
went out, making them several hours
late. Four spans, a total of two hun-
ired ana lorty ieri -.re missing irom
the bridge, whic his 568 feet long. The
passengers on the wrecked train were
Vrought back to Sidney and sent to
Dencer via the Cheyenne rovte.
A wrecker and trainload of materi
als were rushed from McCook by the
Burlington to the scene of the wreck.

WHO PAYS THE BILL?
Did you know that intelligent and
judicious advertising doesn't cost
the man who pays the bill a cent?
Well, then, who DOES pay for the
advertising if the merchant himself
doesn't?
The unwise patron of the store
that is NOT advertised are the per
sons who pay for advertising.
By advertising, a merchant in
creases his turnovers and sells four
or five times as much merchandise
aa he would if he did not advertise.
The real cost of selling that mer
chandise is reduced with each turn
over. Thus, the amount he invested
In advertising comes back td him
and he is enabled to do business on
a closer margin of profit on each
turn-over than the merchant who
doesn't use advertising to increase
the volume of his business.
So, after all, the merchant who
advertises doesn't pay for his ad
vertisements, neither does his cus
tomers. It's the patrons of ' the
UNADVERTISED. store who pay
for them.
COUNTY WOULD
INCREASETAXES
OF BURLINGTON
WANT TO INCLUDE STOCKYARDS
IN ASSESSMENT
Same Point Came Up Several Years
Ago and Was Carried To the
State Supreme Court
History is repeating itself. The
Box Butte county commissioners are
endeavoring to secure the privilege of
assisting in valuing for the county
tax rolls a matter of a hundred and
sixty acres or so that is now assessed
by the state. The commissioners have
taken the problem up to the state au
thorities and State Tax Commissioner
W. H. Osborne of Lincoln spent
Thursday in Alliance, going over the
situation and making a personal in
spection of the property in dispute.
- The Burlington owns some hundred
and sixty acres of land consisting of
its right of way and land adjacent
thereto. The portion of this land that
lies in the city of Alliance is assessed
bv the citv authorities and pays the
city levy, but that lying just outside
the city limits, in Lake precinct, was
not returned by the railroad in making
outs its assessment schedule.
The reason for not making a return
on this property is that it is classed
as right-of-way and depot grounds by
the railway officials. Right-of-way
and depot grounds are assessed by the
state board on a basis of a unit value
per mile, figured out by the state rail
way commission.
The county commissioners point out
that the land in question contains the
stockyards, the machine shops, the
land on which the "little Mexico"
value. County Assessor Pilkington
discovered over five hundred tons of
hay in storage on this land, as well as
surplus equipment of considerable
value. The commissioners and the
state tax 'commissioner will endeavor
to secure a ruling from the attorney
! general that will permit Box Butte
county assessing some portion of tbis
property. The unit rate, under which
it is now assessed, is fairly high, but
if the county is permitted to assess a
portion of this, it will raise the reven
hps somewhat.
Several years ago, the Box Butte
county commissioners were confronted
with the same situation, nnd conclud
ed that it was worth making a fight
over. The case was carried to the
state supreme court, which in 1916
handed down a decision favorable to
the Burlington. Since that time there
hn9 been no Question raised and the
railroad has been allowed to turn in
its property as it pleased, but this year
the county officials have decided that
they will attempt to collect a tax on
mey win aiicmpb -v .
at last a portion of this equipment
" . . ... i 1
and land.-provided tne ttaxe auinor-
ities give them 6unicieni encourage
ment. Tax Commissioner Osborne left
today for Bridgeport and Bayard,
where he will assist in assessing the
sugar factories.

CITY EXPENSES
FOR NEXT YEAR
ARE ESTIMATED
CITY MANAGER URGES POLICY
OF STRICT ECONOMY,
Technical Defect Invalidates
, Water Bond Issue, But
. Work to Go On.
Water
The city council, at its regular meet
ing Thursday night at the city hall,
adopted an estimate of expenses for
the fiscal year 1921-22, as presented by
City Manager Kemmtsh. The total
amount of money required to run the
eity during the twelve months is esti
mated at 15,81o, as compared with
$15,200 last year . and $15,000 . two
years ago. This year's estimate, how
ever, is actually considerably less for
actual operating- expenses, the total
being larger due to the fact that the
cost of the city hail paving assessment
is included this year. ........
The estimate of expenses, as com
pared with last year, shows a number
of reductions. The cost of maintain
ing streets and allys is estimated at
$4,000, as compared with $5,000 last
year; officers' salaries, will require
more money, $4,720 as compared with
$3,000 last year; stationery and print
ing $1,500, as compared with $1,200
last year; cemetery maintenance, $1,
000, last year no appropriation; gar
bage disposal, $1,000, the same as last
year; health, $1,000, no appropriation
fast year; city hall paving assess
ment $1,595, no. appropriation last
year; miscellaneous, $1,000, as com
pared wjth $5,000 last year.
City Manager Kemmlsh prepared a
series of tabulations for the city coun
cil, showing, among other things, the
estimate of the revenue from taxation.
The total valuation of city property
from figures furnished by the county
assessor is S4,gz,hz. Mr. Kemmisn
deducts from this amount the uncol-
lectable 8 per cent, something that has
not been done in previous years, as
well as the IVt per cent collection fee
for the county treasurer, which leaves
a balance of $4,200,000 upon which tax
revenues may be expected. A mill levy
should bring in $4,200, according to
these figures. The city's tax levy will
be 6.8 mills for general expenses, and
6.05 mills 'will be required to establish
the proper sinking funds and take care
of the interest charges on the city a
bonded indebtedness. The total mill
lew will be 12.85. This year, the
taxes are based on actual valuation in
stead o$ the one-fifth system, and this
means that the levy, on the old basis,
would be 64.25 mills, as compared with
54 last year. The increase in city
taxes i3 19 per cent.
City Manager Kemmisn nas issuea
the following statement concerning
the expenses for the coming fiscal
year:
"In making up our levies for the
coming year we have endeavored to
economize as far as possible and still
arrange to handle our bonded indebt
edness in a business like way. In our
appropriation this year for the general
fund we have taken into consideration
a nart of the city manager s salary
and the item -of paving assessments
for the city hall and port office. As no
provision has been made for handling
this paving in any other manner this
burden is now added to the general
fund for the next nine years. Last
vear's assessment not having been
provided for makes a double burden
this year, me sewer maintenance
fund has been used as a transfer fund

OIIEMUSTBE
DOWN AND OUT

MERE STAGGERING HELD NOT

Physical Faculties.
He Is not drunk who falls to the

But is able to rise and drink some
more.
But he is drunk who prostrate lies
And is neither able to drink nor

The old song expresses the idea,
though not in the same words, that is
contemplated by one 'supreme court
decision in Nebraska which deals with
the extent of liquorinir ud that is re
quired to prove intoxication. This
same decision, incidentally, was re
sponsible for the instruction given to
the jury in two . cases in district
court this week, which resulted in a
verdict of acquittal for John Walker
and Burton Brown, both of Heminir.
ford, who were found guilty on an in
toxication charge in county court some
weens ago, ana promptly appealed to
the district court for redress. j
The two Herainirford men were ar
rested at a dance in Berea by Sheriff
Miller, Deputy Thomas Miskimen and
Chief of Polke Charles Jeffers of Al
liance. The officers were called to the
dance hall by the manager of the
place. Three men were arrested, Wil
liam Walker, who pleaded guilty to an
intoxication charge in county court.
and paid a fine, and Brown and
Walker. j
A big delegation from Heminirford !
was present for the trial, a number of
women beinir amone the audience.
Some eighteen witnesses were sum
moned to give evidence in the two
cases, ihe three officers, for, the
state, testified that Walker was out in
a car near the dance hall, carinir for
his brother, who was under the
weather, and that he stainrered oer-
ceptibly when they assisted him to the
sheriff's automobile. Walker's ex
planation of the staB-firerinsr was that
th officers handled hira roughly, and
tUt if he staggered it wan because
ke was being jerked around.
In the case of Burton Brown, the
state produced two additional wit
nesses, Arthur Jones, floor manager at
the dance, who testified that Brown
was talking loud and otherwise dis
turbing the peaceful serenity of the
occasion. Walter Searles, assistant
floor manager, testified that he "had
told Brown that he had better get the
Walker boys away. Brown's reply, he
said, was that everything would be all
right, as he had their bottle. Brown
admitted having had one drink, but
declared that was the limit of his lib
ations. The officers' testimony was to the
effect that the two men didn't appear
to know what they were doing or say
ing, that their breath was alcoholic.
Mitchell and Gantz, for the defen
dants, introduced a large number of
witnesses, who testified that they had
seen the men at the dance prior to the
arrival of the officers, and that they
had not made themselves conspicuous
by their actions or by talking loud,
and that they did not act like drunken
men in any sense of the word. Two or
three women testified that they had
danced with the defendants, ana that
they had not smelled liquor upon their
breath.
There was a spirited argument by
the attorneys for the state and the
defense. County Attorney liasye ar
gued that any departure from the
normal, however slight the degree,
constitute intoxication within the
meaning of the law. The attorneys
for the defense quoted a decision in a
similar case carried to the supreme
court, and this decision, in effect, was
embodied in Judtre W. H. V estover s
instructions to the Jury. The jurors
were advised that in order to convict
the two men of intoxication, the ev
idence must show beyond a reasonable
doubt that the defendants were men
tally and physically incapacitated by
reason of the liquor they had con
sumed. The jury brought in a verdict
of acquittal in earn case. The two
cases were tried Tuesday and Wed
nesday.
No Booze Convictions.
There were five booze cases on the
criminal docket for the term, and the
state was out of luck in every 'single
one of them. One case, the State of
Nebraska vs. Kermit Wolfe, up on ap-
Deal from county court, where Judire
Tash found the defendant guilty, was
continued over the term. The essen
tial witnesses for the state happened
to be out of the city when the case
came ud for trial. In every other case,
the jury overrode the sentence ot the
county or police court.
Edward Balfe was acquitted on an
Instructed verdict Balfe was charged
with the possession of intoxicating
liquor in a place other than his
dwelling. The defendant rooms at the
Rodirera rooming house, and one
evening a few weeks ago a booze
party took place. A bottle, opened and
partially consumed, was round on
stand at the head of Balfe's bed. In
county court, this was held to be 11
legal possession by Judge Tash. R. O,
Rcfidish, attorney for Balfe on appeal
to the district court, argued that the
evidence did not show that the defen
dant was the possessor of the bottle.
Judge Westover'a decision was that
both of them were on the wrong
track; that Balfe was in his dwelling,
as contemplated by the law, and that
he was entitled to the possession of a
reasonable amount of Intoxicating
liquor. The jury was instructed to
bring in a verdict of acquittal.
The second day of the present term,
the complaint against Dell Davis, rp
healed from police court, where he was
found guilty of illegal possession of
liquor, was dismissed by Judge West
over, due to the fact that the com
plaint was not properly drawn and did
not charge him with an offense against
the law.
