Angeles, and says that "We recently

Btucco, in a new peetion which is
building up rapidly with nice houses.
Three are going up within a block of

The Lorgest W?y Round.

hat is a fact, for 1-st Saturday Will
Lindner and family wanting to go
o Plattsmouth where the folks cf
Mrs. Lindner reside, they hitched tbe
trusty Ford up and were away. The
roads were heavy from the rain3 of
twenty-four hours, and the hill3 were
steep but faithful Ford kept pelting
away and reached town in an hour
and twenty-five minutes. Will tells
of having plowed two furrows the
entire way t"at would make good
corn rows. That was enough and
when It ram? time to go home Will
urned tbe nose of the trusty Ford
towards the gravel and went by tbe
cemetery at Plattsmouth and keep
ing the graveled detour., went via
way cf Nehawka, "Union, and up the
pavement to Ms own gate, beating
fhe time which he made by a few
minutes on the up trip. Verily the

Bank Robbers
Spray Crowd
with Bullets
Police, Calling After Burglar Alarm
Sounded, Told "Nothing
Wrong"
Peru. Ind., Ort. 18. Bandits to
day robbed the First National Bank
of Peru cf 45 thousand dollars in
CTsh and 15 thousand dollars in se
curities, slightly wounded a police
man and a bystander and dashed out
rf town without a shot having been
fired at them.
Six or seven men comprised the
gang. Four of them entered the
bank, forced 15 employes and cus
tomers to lie down, swept up all
money in sight, made a clerk open
the safe where more currency was
obtained and forestalled the police
in answering a burglar alarm.
Guns in Each Hand.
The men rushed to their auto,
guns In each hand excepting the
man holding the money shot into
the gathering crowd, and speeded
out of town, firing several Ehots in
the air.
Policeman John Devinie was shot
through the foot as he approached
the bank when the bandits were
making their getaway. H. L. How
enstein of Michigan City, Ind., suf
fered a broken leg when etruck by
a bullet.
Police Quieted.
Kendrick Kenny, assistant cash
ier, stepped on a burelar alarm to
call the police, just before he was
forced to lie down with other em
ployes and customers. When po
'?ce headquarters called by telephone
to inquire as to the alarm, the ban
dits thrust a firearm against the
body of Mrs. Martha Er.dicott and
compelled her to advise the depart
ment that nothing was wrong in the
bank.
The men drove away from Peru
in the direction of Indianapolis or
Lrgansport. County and city auth
orities gave chase, but lost all trace
when they reached the branch in the
road. An airplane was pressed into
service but returned without infor
mation after searching reads going
to Rochester, Mentone and Culver.
Wcrld-Herald.
Lincoln. Oct. 18. Her prospects of
receiving $150,000 left by a "poor
old fellow" she befriended 18 years
ago were related Friday by Mrs.
Edna Emmert, housekeeper for Fath
er D. B. O'Connor at Havelock.
When a reporter called. Mrs. Em
mert was on her knees waxing tbe
floor of the priest's home. That's the
sort of thing she expects to keep on
doing until some actual cash rolls in.
For the will of Charles Putman,
who died July 15 at the Mercy hos
pital in Aberdeen, S. D., didn't settle
his estate. Instead of consisting of
a wagon and a team of six mules, as
South Dakota residents supposed, his
property amounts to $200,000 or
$300,000 in Dakota and Montana
land. At least that is what Mrs. Em
mert heard from the administrator.
Seek to Break It.
A nephew and two nieces of the
deceased, none of whom got favor
able mention in the testament, are
now trying to break It. If they fail,
-100,0000 goes to the Mercy hospital,
Mrs. Emmert says, and the rest to
her.
"I don't know exactly what
I will do if I do get it." Mrs.
Emmert stated. "Probably I'll
stay right here where all my
friends and relatives live."
When a 69-year-old man with a
hitch of mules wandered to tbe farm
near Claremont, S. D., where Mrs.
Emmert and her husband were living
in 1911, they decided he looked cold
and hungry and gave him a bed. For
18 months thereafter he stayed most
of the time." Neighbors called them
"crazy." Tbey got no money from
the supposed pauper. They got little
work. But they let him stay.
Said Nothing of Wealth.
"He never said he was rich,"
Mrs. Emmert recounted. "We
couldn't help feel sorry for him.
Besides, I was so lonesome up in
that country that I welcomed
even his company."
After leaving South Dakota in
1912, the Emmert's heard occasion
ally from Putman indirectly. Never
did they get a hint of hi3 intention
to bequeath her a fortune, however,
until the 80-year-old pioneer had
died and his will had been filed.

Frank J. Hogan, chief defense

Harding had transferred that respon

PERSIA PROTESTS
MARKET PRACTICE
New York Arrested by New York j
detectives Monday when his snip
landed from New Orleans. John Mc
Giuldrick, second officer of the
steamship Creole, was held as a fugi
tive from justice from New Orleans
where he is wanted in connection
with the death of Jack Kraft, former
ly of New York, on Oct. 11.
Tolice here were informed that Mc
Gouldick has been indicted for Kraft's
murder on board the Creole as it
steamed up the Mississippi river thru
the delta country below New Orleans
early on the morning of Oct. 11.
Louibiana officials charge that Kraft
was shot to death and his body
thrown into the river along the par
ish of Plaquemine. Non-committal,
McGuoldrick wa3 locked in Tombs
prison and a hearing was set for Wed
nesday. Capt E. W. Sundstrom and Thomas
Deeley, lookout man of the Creole,
asserted that Kraft jumped over
board of hi3 own accord. Deeley told
I. Cooper, general manager of the
Southern Pacific lines, owners of the
Creole, he was positive no rhot had
been fired aboard the vessel. Both
the captain and Deeley are quoted as
saying McGouldrick was on the
bridge at the time Kraft is alleged
to have jumped overboard.

DRY AGENT HELD IN CRASH
CATTLE FEEDERS
PROVING
WAR
Lincoln. Oct. 21. Last year's low
profits have made cattle feeders in
Nebraska thi3 season wary of taking
on too much stock, says the state and
federal statistician.
The result is that the early move
ment of animals to the feed lots has
been 30 per cent under that of 192S.
In the corn belt as a whole, the
movement was 20 per cent lower than
the previous season and 13 per cent
under the five-year average. It seems
likely, however, in view of the more
favorable situation now prevailing,
that the late movement may exceed
last year's.
