An automobile ride, innocently undertaken by Mar garet and Mildred Dore, sisters, nine teen and twenty, Council Bluffs, came to an unexpected climax for them last night. Driving on the road into Ralston, they were nonplussed when their three boy companions suddenly abandoned the car and disappeared across country. Their flight had been prompt by appearance of a coupe alongside, and a demand to head in to the curb. Instead, the driver step ped on the acceleator, shot away from the other car and at the next corner, stopped suddenly shouting "Every body run." Fearing a holdup, or a fight among boy rivals, the girls ran too, but a barbed wire fence was hard to clear. The owner, H. R. Jensen of Ralston had been scouting in search of his automobile when it passed him. WELL MACHINERY FOR SALE I have a Powers Improved well boring machine in good condition. Will sell cheap. . J. W.
