Officers and Deputy Sheriff Young j
Recover Truck With Tires and
Get One of Garg.
From "Wednesday's lally
At a very early hour this morn
ing Officers Joe Libershal and Clyde
Jackson and Deputy Sheriff Young
by prompt action caused the capture
of one member of a gang of tire
thieves and the recovery of the loot,
valued at IZ'Ji. from the J. F. Wolff
garage that was broken into shortly
before 4 o'clock.
The night policemen were at the
upper part of Main street shortly be
fore 4 o'clock when they saw a Frd
truck and a touring car com" clown
f.-.t. RojirTi fith street hill as far as
the Pearl street intersection and j
then turn east along Pearl street.;
and the officers at ence started an
investigation and saw the car stop
while the truck continued on east.
The officers hastened to the jail
secured a shot gun and a rifle that
was there and return-d to the scene
of action and located the truck at
that time standing near the Alfa
Maize mill on East Pearl strre;.
As the officers approached Pearl
street the truck started out and of
ficers called en the driver to halt but
he continued on and the police open
ed fire as the truck took the hill just
routh or the Cl-idt Lumbtr yard and
the touring car al.-;o was started out
in company with the truck and con
tinued on west. The shots from the
guns of the officers lock effect on
the cars .s was developed later and
some of the members of the party
must have suffered injury as a bull
et hole was found later in the glass
of the truck cab just back of the
driver's seal.
Officer Libershal had called Deputy
Sheriff Young who arrived
scene .and with Mr. Libershal
on the t
started i
in pursuit of the truck and car but
lop.t trace of them for some little time
and carried the pursuit to the Platte
river bridge where it was frund
that no car or truck had crossed in
the space of time following the
choet'r.E. The officers then retraced
their way to this city and reaching
the vicinity of Webster boulevard
started east end at 12th str.-et saw
the truck and car that had been
drawn to on side of the road As
the officers approached, the car start
ed out and Officer Libershal jumped
off the ear of Mr. Yoime and ran to
the truck to prevent anyone that
might be in it from starting it up.
The deputy sheriff started the pur
suit of the touring car and near the
Masonic Home forced the car over
to curb and halted it. making the
capture of the man who was at the
wheel. The car was then returned
to the seine of where? the truck was
found and here the officerr made the
.liEwivcrv thai the tto'.cn tires from
the garage were in t
had aDDarently been
ie truck thai
ibar.doned by
the occupants.
The officers then were assisted by
Chief of Police Hinrichnen who had
been called and the car as well as
the truck was bi ought in to the city
and placed at the city jail.
The investigation was then
tinned and the truck found to
con-con-
tain ei eh teen new tires
which were
later identified by
Mr. Wolff as those
mVen from his garage on Fifth street ;
between Main and Pearl street. Vis- '
iting
the sc-f ne or tne rocoery, uic .
f ffi-. rs
found that a window naa j
. . . v. .
been pried open at xae suunwii
corn1 of the garage and that the
thieves had then carried the tires;
fut through a window in the south
east corner of the building and had
taken them through the Cloidt lum-j
her vard to the truck down near the ;
old mill building. From this fact it
is evident that there were several in
the partv that made the raid as it re
quired some little work to get all
the tires out of the building.
Tho man car.tured was left
in jail
all ni-Tht and related to
the officers
tho Btorv that he had
come down
irom South Omaha
T.a-.ned "Pessie." but
with a lady
failed to give
the last name or tne lauy. i-..-nowb'dged
having formerly owned
the fuck at one time but claimed
that he had sold it to a man named
m'th " but who was a foreigner
and he thought a Polander. The
man found in the car protested that
he had no part in the robbery but
his explanations were cot very clear
:n view of the fact that his car had
been constantly with the party of
tire thieves and he was found keep-
miorrl nvpr the lOOt.

t?,-t- mad hv Countv Attorney
TV G Kieck disclosed the fact that
the name of the partv owning the
touring car was Howard Long and
iK-no had the car number 59,1908 re-
j?ristered in his name at the office of
th county treasurer at Pa pillion.

registered in the name of the Gretna

'Long from a man named Lawrence
j Hayes and had. it was claimed, by

named "Smith."
The bridge tender at the Pirate
river wagon and auto bridge stated
to the authorities that the truck,
jand he thinks, two cars, crossed
I there at 1 a. m. coming south, and
as only one car lias been accounted
'it mav be possible that the tire
thieves had one awaiting them for
a getaway, and which may have
carried the occupants of the truck
to some place where they count get
! under cover. From the rain of bull

.that some of the party were shot

WEST SUNDAY
Father W. S. Lcei-. Wife find Ma
dame Lecte Sid Farewell to
Charge Here Yesterday.
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday morning at the St.
LuVe's Episcopal church was held
the last services at which the Rev.
Wilbur Scranton Leete. rector of the
church was to officiate and each of
the services was quite largely atten
ded and at the close of the 11 o'clock
service the rector and his family bid
farewell to the members of the par
ish. Father and Mrs. Leete departed
at once after the close of the service
by auto for the west where they will
locate at Evergreen, Colorado, twen-tv-f.ve
miles out of D.-nver. At that
place. Father Leete will assume the
position as vicar of the Church of
Transfiguration and also have a
large part in the directing of the
summer school work at Evergreen
where is located the largest church
school in the country and where
there are hundreds each season to
take up the church work.
The parting of the Leete family
with the members of the church If re
was very, affecting as there had
been many warm friendships formed
in the years that they have been
here and which will be hard to re
place and the friends regret very
much that they are to lose the pleas
ant associations of the past.
Father Leete, wife and mother
came to this city almost eleven years
ago from Lyons, Iowa, where they
had previously resided in charge of
church work there and during their
long residence here they have been
very faithful workers in the cause of
the Master and did much to make St.
Luke's parish better in many re
spects. Since coming to the diocese
of Nebraska, Father and Mrs. W. S.
Leete have both occupied very prom
inent parts in the work of the
church, Father Leete serving as an
assistant bishop of Nebraska at var
ious times in his office work at Oma
ha and Mrs. Leete having for two
terms served as president of the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Episcopal
church in Nebraska.
In their new home in the west
they will carry the best wishes of the
old friends here for their future suc
cess and happiness and that amid
the pleasnnt surroundings of the new
home in the foothills of the Rockies
they will enjoy their work and the
'opportunities for rt larger field of
labor for th church and mankind.

ESHBISHED BV THE PUGfuMS
Puritan Day of Rendering Just Trib

Once more in the passing of the
cycle of the year the nation's day of
thanksgiving is at hand and tomor

of curs, from tne far northern
reaches to yonder distant southern
.shore and from the original home of
the Paiitan on the ro. k ribbed coast
of New England to the rose kissed
land of the Pacific a nation cf 110.
tmO.OOO people gather in a united
thanksgiving for the many acts of
mercy and kindness given them in
the past year, lor the success and
happituss that has been their good
fortune under the dispensation of
the All Wi.se and Just Providence. '
The holiday, old as the time of
the fr.-.t settlers in the now United
States is one that is exclusively an
American event. The Puritans, those
hardy and unterriUed men and wom
en who left their old homes, the
scenes of their earlier lives, the
plaees of the ancestors to cross the
:-f.a and find a new home where they
might build a Eation free from the
persecutions and prejudices of the
cid world, first gave to the world
the Thanksgiving day that we now
know, when on the rocky steeps of
the new and unknown world they
bowed in humble prayer to offer up
their thankrgivins for their preser
vation from the perils of the voyage
over the great ocfin.
This manner oi thanksgiving,
simple and inspiring, has furnished
inspiration for the custom that has
followed through the years and it is
titeing and just that a nation so
successful as ours, so wonderfully
blessed with peace and prosperity
sh.-'tld ask its people to pause for a
moment from the daily task and ut
ter up a prayer of appreciation for
the bounties that have been visited
upon us during the year just closed.
Tht' thanksgiving idea has spread
from the New England shcres until
it has become a holiday of the great
est import to the nation. Since 1SG2
when the darkness of the perils of
civil war was sweeping our nation
and the humble son of the people.
Abraham Lincoln, asked the nation
to pause and make their prayer of
thanksgiving and for the preserva
tion of the Union and the continued
success and prosperity of its people,
the succeeding presidents have call
ed upon the nation to observe the
day and in keeping with this custom
President Coolidge has called upon
the nation to gather tomorrow and
make a public expression of its
thanksgiving.
The busine ss houses, the shops and
ail places where labor is employed in
this city will observe the day prop
erly by pausing from their tasks and
joining in the national thanksgiv
ing. FIND STOLEN CURTAINS

Attendance Saturday Night Fills tht
Elks' Club House to Its
Utmost Capacity.
From Monday's Daily
The Elks' Harvest carnival which
was the leading attraction of tb
past week in this city was closed
Saturday night and proved one of
the me(ft successful events of its kind
that has ever been held in the com
munity. The last night saw the Elks club
house so well filled that it was im
possible really for the crowd to get
around and many were prevented
from reaching the booths to make
their purchases. In addition to the
persons being admitted on season
tickets there were 550 single admis
sions rold and which would make a
crowd of from 1.100 to 1.200 per
sons present at the last hours of th
carnival.
The booths were all well patron
ised and practically all sold out when
the last hours of the carnival ar
rived. The big event of the carnival wa
the drawing cf the fine $1,000 Olds
mobile touring car and the lucky
number was held by Miles Allen and
who hafl a real present as the result
of his investment in a season ticket.
The last hours of the carnival also
saw the race for Queen of the Carni
val grow more interesting and closer
as the contentants and their friend
were piling in the votes and the fi-
t nal count of the ballots gave the
) honor to Miss Freda K linger and
ithe second place to Mis." Mary Loui
Warren and the third place to Mim
Helen Clement. The queen received
a fine gold ivory toilet set and the
two maids of honor a strand of pearls
and a very handsome set of brace
lets, ear drops and brooch, which
make very acceptable prizes.
The Elks' have in their carnivnl
been endeavoring to assist the main
tenance of the cemeteries of the city
and half of the proceeds of the car
nival, it is stated, will be placed in a
fund and the interest on this fund
will be dc-vcted to the upkeep of the
cemeteries of the city.
The committee in charge of th
carnival has labored long and earn
estly to make the event a great suc
cess and is more than gratified at
the results secured in the pleasant
