room THE ALLIANCE, IIKRALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1021. Monr.iix rnrT (ommis. mo.ni.ks tkomim: a kmad (Cortinnod from IV.ge 1) fhnrtcned from thiee to five miles. Jle wax not opjio-H to the !rondwatr load he thought tint both ronda should be built 1 nit declared the Itridgcjiort route di' i nol the prefer ence. r,rondwatr Ko.id Shorter. Commissioner Di.-pn of Broadwater then made an c- cell-nt hpic:i1 lor the Jtroadwatcr rout.. H- declined that it was a rood manv i nn - shorter than nther routes, and that 'line were but twenty miles of s:n il-..i! ro:ds. The roads through t!ie h. '- iuii l-rcdy in the valleys, and rinht along.id. the. road thrie are magn-;:i depo-di am jdy large to surface the load when constructed. Ho said, id so, that his rrt of the county had fewer roads than other parts, and that his con Ftituents were entitled to something. The Uroadwater route, he in.-d.-tcd, was not only the MioiWd., but would rrtail lesB mairi'.cnariti co.-t... Commissioner O.d.orn toolc the floor to urge an entirely (liferent mute. He thought a route through Bayard the mont practical)le. He aid such n road would benefit mere jieople than cither of the other-, and could be con jstnicted for lesn money. He lulieves there would be. road- connecting with tioth the other town.. He sad he thought the commissioners could fcet together. All of the cnmmi --doner having ex pressed themselves, and each of them having declared that .so long as their favorite road was constructed, they were willing to have another route go through, the di-nn- on was joined by several other seuk(rs. Fred Wood of .Angora rose to argue for the road west of the track out of Aurora to the north. He reiterated several times that ninety per cpnt of the farmers lived on that ide of the track, sind that it was ea-y to prove this was the case. Two Road S .jested. C. P. Turner of FLiyard .said there uas sufficient enthu.-iu.-.m and interest ever the roads to warrant the building of two, the Ilroadwi.tcr and Iljyaid routes. George Venell of Ai t.ir: pleaded for the Hridpepoi t-Alli.iiitc route. His town, he paid, had but one decent load lending out of it, tow ml Bridgeport. ;md would like to g-t 'uuiftti d with the rest of the world. Mark Spanngle of Bridgeport made a .splendid pleu for that route. The object of highways, he said, is to serve the public at larne. Il thought the J'dney-Ilridgej 01 t.Alliance route cal culated to serve the mo .t pople. The Jlroadwater route, he said, goes thru a sparsely settled country. It was the duty of the commi.-oromr.-i to es tablish a north and south road, anil that even if it to t more to go the Uridgeport way, service to the public was what counted. He reminded his hearers that the road was to be built for all time, and that what counted was the permanent o!!et, not the tem porary benefits accruing to any one town. Chairman Hhoin a.l:ed for sug i:ar!s which would enable the coin nissioncrs to compiomhic, and J. W. uthrie of Alliance toolv the floor. He read n telegram from several All i siTice people now in Hot Springs, urg ing the establishment of a road. The telegram follows: "Chadron, Alliance, Broadwater, Uridgeport 8nd Sidney are losing thousands of dollars annually of tour ists' money due to the fact that there is no north and south road through Morrill county. We have personally interviewed a great many auto tourists from western and southeastern states who are making wide detours and coming from the east over Dakota trails rather than through Alliance nd the sandhills of Morrill county and are avoiding our section of Ne braska, even on return trips. The Itlack Hills have entertained four times as many auto tourists this sea-f-on as ever before. After a personal interview with Colonel Shade, South Dakota highway commissioner, we arc assured co-operation for (5-P-C high way. Our section of Nebraska can jpet its full share of business and wile publicity if this missin link is sup plied (Signed: H. J. Kllis, W. C. ilounts, F. W. Irish, Uoy K. McKenzie, iraco S. Kennedy, George l. Hailing." Mr. Guthrie traced the two rival V-ghways from the time they split at Cheyenne Wells, Col., to the present. He cave his preference, but urged that the commissior.c is get together and promise a road. Agreement I'caiiied. The meeting took a ten-minute re cess, and at the clo.e of this, two of the Morrill county commissioners, Jiraper of Broadwater and Osborne 01 lsaynrd, got together and when tae twsion again convened, promised that at the next meeting, scheduled for September 6, action would be taken which will guarantee a road. Just what the two commissioners agreed upon is a matter (if conjecture, but the belief was general among the delegates that they had agreed to rec ommend the Broadwater and Bayard routes at the same time, ond leave the choice up to the governor or State En jrineer Johnson. In the meantime, the North Star boosters are going to see what can. be done to have their route approved. At the meeting in Alliance Friday, steps will probably be taken to bring it to the attention of the state authorities, and if possible, to have it designated. The Broadwater boosters, aided by Commissioner Drajer, are already proceeding to work. They have marked their route, ami Mr. uraper lias prom ised them that without delay he will have a caterpillar traitor and a grad ing gang at work, uing county funds. It seems probable that the roa 1 will be put in shape, whether it is desig nated or not. Question of State Funds. In anv event, there is little question that beforejong, the deadlock will be at an end, and some route north and oouth through Morrill county will be approved and a highway built. It is understood that there is not now any funds available for state aid oa any north and south road, but funds will be available ne-.t year, anil construc tion will b pushed rapidly then, pro vided un agreement has been reached.

Promptly at 1 p. m. Bingham vs. the fast "Od Magnates" of Lakeside and Antioch, which will be followed by the Kllsworth-Whitman game. Whitman has a great record of winn'ng thirteen games and losing one this season and needs no introduction to the public. To make up for this the Fllsworth ball fans are hiring and picking up a real team, and wilt do all pos.ib' to defeat the Whitman sluggers. Pen ning and Black of the old Alliance team will play with Kllsworth, Pen ning on the mound and Black on short. The proceeds of the game nnd refresh ments stands go towards the Kllsworth club's expenses after a percentage is taken out for the visiting teams. Lov ers of real Uhm bull should not miss these gam--;. Clay Harry Receives Promotion and Will Leave City September 1 Clay Harry, who for more than a year has le:i the manager of the Alii-1 i;nce exchange of the Northwestern Bell TeliMihom company, has received i a merited promof'nn and will leave the j cay the nisi ot Jcpiomier lor tne Omaha olVires, where he will be chief clerk in the oifice of F. A. May, com mercial manager for the company. Mr. Harry's successor in the Alli ance exchange will be S. C. Windham of Platt.smoutti, who has been with the company for five years. He comes here from bnit.ha. Mr. Windham is an ex-service man and has already connected no w;th the Alliance Ameri can Leg on po.-t. Few examples of self-restraint are more intere-ting than a high-tempered man playing cards after he has teased a poor player to be his partner. (Continued from page 1) The car is operated entirely by his hands. He has had an extension build on the eluMh, by means of which a liamile in afforded him near the steer ing wheel, nnd releases the clutch with one hand while shifting gears with the other. He uses the emergency brake only. When starting the car, and it is necessary to use both hands on the gear shift and clutch, he simply leans his breast again-1 the steering wheel to keep it stead v until he has a hand free to put on the wheel. "Whittled Pretty Short" Mr. II! mot has been half a man only about two years. An attack of pneu monia, followed by blood clots on the brain, deprived him of one leg, and be fore he had learned to walk well as a one-legged man, an attack of influenza made it necessary to cut off the other leg. "Between the pneumonia, blood clots, in'luen.a and the surgeons," he says, "they have whittled me down pretty short, but there's no use worry ing. It won't bring my legs back. Ami it might have been worse. Suppose I had been blind, or had an injury to my spine and had to stay in bed all the time. This iVn't so bad as it might be." Mr. Bimel likes Alliance pretty well. He's gotten acquainted with a Ioti0f men during his stay here, pnd he says that if he could find a good iocat'on, on a good street, he'd like to stay here all winter and open up a joint where he could aell wieners, hamburger, chile and other short lunches. Some of the railroad boys have been interested in his plight and have suggetsed that there was a fair profit to be made out of running a boarding house. He doesn't deny that he's interested. Was Once a Farmer Iliyht now he's on his way back to Junction City, Kas., where he is going to try to get some money out a fellow who took some moving picuies of him a few months ago. He is o.i a return trip from Wibaux, Mont., where he went to look at homeste ids. He didn't take one, although ther.; wer3 plenty of them available. "I've ieen a farmer a good part of my 'ii'e," be said, "and I know I could still ha-idle a irang plow, but there's always some danger if the l;or-es shouM -tart to run. I couldn't stop them, not will only this muoh of me left. ' I like finn'ng thoutrh, i. fil I know I could run eiie of the e trai tors." Mr. Uimel u.-e I to run a farm and blacksiniL'i shop c m b n-d, and at one time ws foreman of the iouidhou-e at Devil's Lake, N. D.

Physically, he's in pretiy gord shape, considering how much i l.im has be.n lo.-t. He weighs I'M pounds, and his rrms and chest are well de veloped. He wears a size 20 shirt and sometimes has difficulty finding J. coat large enough for him.

He made one cast ' with his legal net and caught three I victims, the Bev. A. J. Kearns, pastor 'of the First Presbyterian church of Alliance, and charged him with taking perch from the water under the legal size; Mrs. Clara Lucas.-ie, who was charged with fishing without a license, and Tom A. Cioss, who was haled into county court to answer to the same charge as did his friend of the cloth. County Judge Tash he.rd the tes timony. In the case of Mrs. Lucassie, the defendant admitted that she had no license to fish, but said that her husband did possess one of those im portant documents. Her idea seemed to be that they twain were one, but the court couldn't see it that way. A fine of $15 and costs was assessed. In the case of the Rev. A. J. Kearns, the. defendant was discharged. The testimony showed that Mr. Kearns had six rainbow perch on a string which was in the water. One of the.-e fish measured under six inches. The law requires that any perch under six t inches in length shall be returned to the water as uninjured as possible. It appeared to the court that Mr. Kearns' arrest was premature, for he had not yet stopped fishing and had not taken time to measure his catch and throw back the undersized ones. Mr. Kearns was released. Tom Cross had the same good for tune. In his case the deputy game warden brought a., fish into court as evidence. The tail fins of the fish showed signs of mutilation, and there was some idea that maybe the game warden doubted whether the fi h was (iuite short enough to secure a convic tion and had squeezed the ta'l hard enough so that some of it come off. This is only conjecture. Judge Tash laid the fish down on a sheet of whit paper, marked the place where the head and tail lgan and left off, applied a ruler and found the meas urement to ie exactly six inches. The prisoner was di.-chr.rged. No ci gars have been passed by either the preacher or his fellow conspirator. History has repeated itself. Judge Ta-di has verified the old adage that misfortunes do not always come sin gly. This is a case of twins again. A l few weeks ago, after waiting almost a lifetime, the county, judge had the pleasure of seeing a preacher on the other side of the bar of justice. T'li' morning that pleasure was repeated. Despite the fart that he enjoys seeing a preacher in the toils of the law, the Herald Want Ads are read. We hope that stray comet doesn't collide with Babe Ruth's bat. , v. 1. 1 u.
