Got Himself into Trouble
Last Monday a young man drove
into Greenwood, stopping at the fill
ing station operated by Clyde New-
kirk, where he made request for gas,
saying he wanted to exchange the
rumble seat on his car for the liquid
to keep it running. Mr. Newkirk de
clined to trade and was told a long
and pathetic story of how the young
man was en route to Lincoln to get
his father and take him to Omaha
although the car bore a Missouri li
cense number. Clyde advised him to
go and see the mayor, which he did,
and later Mr. Landon came back with
the youth and purchased him 25 cents
worth of gas to add to that already
in his tank, and enough to get him
into Lincoln.
A little later the young man drove
up at the Dixie station, where a lady
is in charge and said: "Fill 'er up,"
which she did. Then he stepped on
the gas and drove away. The matter
was repoited to the Lincoln office as
the station is owned by a Lincoln
firm and a look out was kept for the
lad, who left the highway immedia
tely and drove south." Later in the
day he ran into a ditch near Pal
myra, wrecking the car and being
quite badly cut from broken glass.
When he went to a doctor to have
Lis wounds dressed the matter was
reported to Lincoln and the state
sheriff and two aides went out from
there and picked up the lad, taking
him to Lincoln, where he was lodged
in jail. He gave his name as Porter-
field Alexander and his home as Jef
ferson City, Mo. He is still in jail
at Lincoln.
Many Injured During Storm
During the time when the dust
stcrm of last Sunday was raging, a
party of four in a car were coming
from Murdock to Greenwood and had
proceded some two miles west from
Murdock, when suddenly they were
confronted by a gap In the roadway
where a bridge had been removed for
the construction of another one, and
when they noticed it it was too late
to prevent the car from plunging
in the ditch. Those in the car were
Dean Nickles and Geo. Otley, both
cf Waverly, and Misses Ottis Hibbard
and Irene Goings, both of Green
wood. The plunge wrecked the car and
injured all of the occupants. One of
the young ladies had three ribs frac
tured, her leg injured and suffered
numerous cuts and bruises about the
face and body. The other young lady
had a broken arm and many cuts and
bruises as well. Mr. Ottley had his
face badly cut, and was considerably
bruised. Mr. Nickles had a severe cut
on his throat below the chin.
They were able to extricate them
selves from the wreckage and tele
phoned to Greenwood for some one
to come for them. George Trunken
bolz hastened to the scene and brot
the injuried parties to Greenwood,
where they were treated by Dr. Tal
cott. Returning later, he brought
the wrecked car to town.
The occupants or the car say they
did not see any warnings that the
bridge was out and were unaware
that there was any work being done
there until they landed into the gap
in the roadway.
The county commissioners, accom
panied by County Attorney W. G.
Kleck visited the scene of the acci
dent on Wednesday of last week,
makinga thorough inspection of the
location and conditions surrounding
the place of the accident. The raging
dust storm was enough to blind the
best of drivers and it was very diffi
cult to see the roadway on any road.

QUESTION SECTION HAND

Woodbine, was detained by Sheriff
C. F. Cross, railway agents and three

State Beer Tax
is Lower for the
Month of October
Total Collected Drops to $11,807 from
$19,171 in August Consid
ered a Large Drop.
The state beer tax cf 93 cents per
barrel on 3.2 product sold by brew
rs, wholesalers and distributors with
in Nebraska, for the month of Octo
ber dropped to $11,S07.26, according
to Chief McCaffin of the state depart
ment of agriculture which collects the
tax. The total collected for September
was $18,123.01 and for the last twen
ty days in August, the first period
for collection after the law became
effective, it was $19,171.39. a total
of S49.101.SG for the first three
months. Some additional may be col
lected before the close of the month,
but the falling off in October is sur
prisingly large.
Chief McGaffin said there might be
a little tax lost thru Imports from
Iowa, particularly from Council Bluffs
into Omaha, and some coming across
the Wyoming line in western coun
ties, but he did not believe it would
amount to much. He is of the opinion
that the law would have been Im
proved if it had required brewers and
distributors outside the state to set
up headquarters or a state agency In
