Walter I j. Thomas an i A.W. Atwcod,
of the Omaha Ueo, made u fljing trip
to Weeping Water an 1 return in
Senator Thomas now' a utomobile,
making the trip to that city in one
hour and twenty-liv. minutes an 1 re
turning in one. hour and twenty min
utes, fast time considering the qual
ity of the roads, and the fact that no
special effort was made to make time
with the Lig machine. Mr. At wood,
who accompanied the Thomases, de
scribes the trip as highly exhilrating
and very delightful. Over the rough
est of the roads the machine glided
with scarcely a. jar or jolt and upon
the smooth stretches when Mr.
Thomas let it out. it hounded along
like a thing of life. The hills were
all taken with no trouble whatever,,
the machine mounting them in. fine
shape, Mr. Thomas proving an adept
at handling the Machine. The. coun
try Is certainly in: fine.' condition, Mr.
Atwood says, on every hand there is
green fields of wheat mingled with
fields of rye of a bright green and on
every side the yellow fields of corn,
most of which is already husked.
Never before had; he seen conditions
so promising. He feel -undr great
obligations to tliV Thomases .for his
pleasant trip and is especially grat
ified at the finr fkirrhe;. Jackson
affords. On thejfvayback the party
made a brief stop at Murray where
they met Dr. Gilmore, W. D. Wheel
er and others alTof .whom expressed
their delight and ! pleasure at seeing
ao handsome and elegant a machine

o quash, issuing a new summons in
the case. The case was up once be
fore on the same kind of motion
which was sustained and at that time
a special constable was appointed to
serve the summons then issued. The
appointment was made out on a sepa
rate slip of paper from the summons
and when the latter was returned the
special slip authorizing the special
consta"ble to serve the same was not
attached. For this reason the service
was quashed.
He also, last evening, issued an or
der of attachment in the case of Chas.
H. Wilklns vs. Frank Benfer, which
, as served upon what is known as the
Benfer saloon about eight o'clock
last night, the officer taking posses
sion of the receipts then in the till
amounting to some $16.50 and also
taking' the keys of the saloon. The
attachment was issued upon an af
fidavit by Mr. Wilkins which alleged
that the defendant was indebted to
him for merchandise in the sum of
$68.70 and that the defendant had
absconded, with intent to defraud his
creditors 'and was a - non-resident -of

demanded that the keys' to the sa
salobn be delivered up. This demand
was refused by Attorney Ramsey with
a large expansive smile whereat At

the horses into a field, they tearing
through three wire fences and finally
colliding with a telephone pole which
stopped them. Help was soon at
