STEALS SUIT OF
CLOTHES BUT FAILS
TO MAKE GETAWAY
Levi Patton, who has boon "occupy
ing an apartment on the second floor
of the building occupied by Lew Kus
sell, yesterday morning hail the un
pleasant experience of having1 his best
suit of clothes lifted by a stranger,
and who, but for the very prompt
action would have made good his es
ca pe.
It seems that on Saturday two men
started out from Omaha in a skiff to
make the trip down the Missouri river
for the south, and when they had
reached this city in the evening, wf re
unfortunate enough to have their
craft overturned near the Burlington
bridge, when they were rescued from
the deep by a number of fishermen.
Coming on up to the business port
of the city the men secured a room of
Mr. Russell for the nfg.V.. until they
could arrange to continue their trip.
One of the men arose early Sunday
morning, and while ids companion was
peacefully sleeping he proeoeded to re
lieve him of 2 in ca:h. and visiting
the room of Mr. Patton nea ! garbed
himself in the glad attire cf.Lcvi and
made his escape. It was only a few
minutes later that Mr. Patton re
turned to his room nd discovered
that the clothes were missing, and
at once notified Mr. Kus.sc!!, a id tnis
is where Lew displayed some real
talent in the sleuth line, that would
have done credit to W. J. Burn?. Mr.
Kussell at once had Levi hasten to the
Burlington station to sc that the
man did not go to Omaha or. the
early Burlington train, and al-o noti
fied John Richardson at the ferry to
be on the watch for the stranger. It
was only a short time afterward that
Mr. Richardson telephoned up that the
man wanted was at the ferry, r.nd
Sheriff Quinton visited the ferry and
brought the man back to town and
lodged iiim in jail. This morning
Sheriff Quinton took the .str-.in.rrr ti
Omah i, where he promise.! to join fhe
army for service, and in failure to do
this will be arraigned.
RAINS OF REGENT DATE
CAUSE WASHING OF ROADS
From Friday's Daily.
The heavy rains of the late spring
and of the last weeks in June have
jriot in the, least benefitted the high
ways in this section of the county,
and particularly that leading from
this city to the Platte river. From
the pavement on Washington avenue
clear to the east and west road on the
Platte bottom there are a great many
rough spots and ruts thai; certainly
need looking after very badly. This
is a piece of road that is used a great
deal by auto parties traveling
through this county into Omaha and
i- tii , ...
snouii: ue repaired as iar as possioie
to make travel more comfortable and
less Likely to jar a person to pieces.
The roads south as a rule are much
better, although the heavy lains in
places has done much damage, and
particularly in the low places along
the creeks, where there has been much
overflow of flood water. With good
weather conditions prevailing there
should be much travel over the mnd.s
through the country (hiring the next
few weeks and all steps possible to
place them in first class shape by
rolling and dragging should be looked
after.
NEW CHAPTER
IN ESCAPADES
OF DEAF PIT
Sullivan, who Forced the Girl to Mar
ry Iiim, is Wanted Elsewhere, and
is in Jail Here.
ENTERTAINS FRIENDS IN
HONOR OF THEIR GUESTS
Another chapter was unraveled in
the case of the forced marriage of
Edward Sullivan, the deaf mute, who
came to this city Friday evening with
his bride, who later stated to the au
thorities that she had been forced
into the alliance through the threats
of being shot. It seems that Sullivan
when he called upon James Jelinek
for a little financial assistance was
recognized by Mr. Jelinek as a deaf
mute who had been reported as hav
ing worked a number of persons in
Akron, O., through misrepresenta
tions and fraud, and Mr. Jelinek at
once put the officers of the law on the
track of the man. The entire day was
spent in trying to get in touch with
parties in Chicago who were desirous
of getting hold of Sullivan, but suffi
cient evidence could not be secured
until late in the afternoon, when a
message was received from Chicago
asking the man be held here pending
the arrival of olnecrs from Chicago.
Chief of Police Barclay at once start
ed a search for the man and it was
found he had disappeared, but was
caught about o'clock at the wagon
bridge north of the city while he was
endeavoring to make Ids way intn
Omaha afoot. In the meantime an
old pal of Sullivan's arrfved on the
scene from Omaha and related a
story of Sullivan having taken his
watch and pawned it to secure the
funds to come to this city r.nd in thi
he was borne out by the statements
of the unwilling bride of a few hours.
Two representatives from the deaf
mute . institute in ( )mah;. arrived by
huf.o a. .short tiTio before Sullivan
was captured at the bridge anil had
with them a paper containing a. de
scription of Sullivan, as well as the
statement he had defrauded partics

AS distributors of merchandise in this community we desire to do our utmost in keeping down the H. C.
of L. during these unusual and extraordinary times. We realize as you do that it is utterly impossible
to procure goods at the old prices in any market whatsoever, but by our connection with the United
National Clothiers our buying power has been mightily increased so that we own our goods today consid
erably less than the average merchant. We would be fully justified in selling them at the current high
prices. However we feel that perhaps we can serve our country best by sacrificing our profit or at least by
sharing it with the buying public and that is our way of "doing our bit." As this is pay-day week we offer
you all this week staple, hard-to-get merchandise at practically wholesale prices. Read each item carefully.
