Tin- officers have had the parties
under suspicion for the past week,
but the young men had not been
in the city and their return was the
signal for their being placed under
arrest.
This car was stolen early last Sat
urday evening and the information
of tiie theft telephoned to this
city, but the wrong number was first
given and this caused some confu
sion as the police would have been
able to arrest the parties at that
time had they received the correct
number, but later when the right
number was sent them, the car had
apparently disappeared off the
streets. Early Sunday morning.
Chief of Police Jones, who with Otti

the car, discovered the Ford aban

who will take them to Nebraska
City to take the consequence of
their offence.
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy
Every family should keep tins
.preparation at hand ready for in
stant use when needed. Severe at
tacks of colic and cholera morbus
often prove fatal before medicine
can be procured or a physician sum
moned. The uniform success that
has attended the use of this remedy
and the prompt cures which it has
effected have made it a staple ar
ticle of trade.

city for a brief visit at the home of

vigilance and it was stated that all
preparations were made for any sit

About 5,000 negroes were herded

this morning, the city presented a
pcene of wild disorder. Hundreds of
automobiles bearing armed white
men raced about the business dis

The heaviest fighting occurred be-
ween midnight and ( a. m., when
several pitched battles with hundreds
n each side were waged about negro
quarters.
Ono of the hottest engagements
occurred in a negro church where
about fifty negroes had barricaded
themselves.
Several massed attacks were
launched against the church, but
each time the attackers had to fall
back under the lire of the negroes.
Finally a torch was applied to the
building, forcing out the occupants
who fired as they ran. Several ne
groes were killed.
Large white crowds invaded the
negro district snooting their way
through. Some time after midnight
the negro district was fired and at
dawn it lay a seething mass of ruins.
Officials estimate that more than
wenty-hve separate tires were set.

MOTOR
OILS
One method of cut
ting motoring costs
Low gracje oil, or oil of unsuitable body,
is the direct cause of fully ninety per
cent of all overhauling, repair and re
placement costs. It is also frequently
responsible for the low mileage many
an automobilist complains of and blames
on his gasoline.
Finding just the correct lubricating oil
for your engine will save you a lot of
expense and bother.
Polarine is the highest quality motor oil you
can buy. Its stability under high engine heat
provides a fuel-tight and gas-tight seal in the
cylinders which insures maximum power and
mileage from gasoline. Its smooth, continuous
film protects bearings and engaging parts
against wear, vibration and breakage.
Polarine is made in four grades light, me
dium heavy, heavy and extra heavy but only
one quality. Get the- proper grade for your
car next time you buy clean-burning Red
Crown Gasoline and you will start cutting
down motoring costs.
