INVESTIGATE CASE
Early Monday morning. May 7th,
Omaha Police Officers Mikles and
Pszanonski apprehended Earl Ray
Henry of Bennet, Nebraska, with a
car. in which was found a lot of
stolen merchandise.
Captain Franks of the Omaha po
lice department got in touch with
State Sheriff Benton' who identified
the car as being stolen from Bennet
the night before, birid also identified
some of the stolen merchandise as
loot from recent burglaries at Cheney,
Avoca, and Tecumseh, Nebraska.
Deputy State Sheriff Lancaster and
Constable Harlin went to Omaha to
return Earl Henry, and while in Ora
aha Deputy Lancaster compared a
list of articles stolen from Avoca, Ne
braska with the stolen loot and found
they were identical. He also founa
a key in the possession of Henry that
he thought might fit the lock of the
Avoca store, and ..after returning
Henry to Lincoln, Lancaster went to
Avoca and found that the key did fit
the lock of the Ruhge General Store
which was burglarized on the night
of April 27th. Mr. Ruhge has posi
tlvely dientified some of his mer
chandise by cost marks.
Earl Ray Henry was held in Lan
caster county jail until Tuesday, May
15th, when he was taken to Platts-
mouth by Deputy Sheriff Walling of
Cass county. Henry will be tried In
eounty court T6day, May 22nd.
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Mrs. Otto A. Keck of this city was
operated on at the Immanuel hos
pital at Omaha and at the last re
ports was doing very nicely. Mrs.
Keck has not been feeling the best
of late and it was decided that an
operation would be necessary to give
the patient any measure of relief
from her condition. The many friends
will be pleased to learn that she is
doing so well and trust that she may
continue to Improve.
To signalize the re-openlng of A
Century of Progress Saturday, May
26, the Burlington Zephyr, the stainless-steel
streamline diesel-pow ered
flyer, will make the fastest and long
est non-stop race against time ever
attempted in railroad history.
The starting point will be Denver,
Colo., and the fanciful tape will be
opposite the Burlington suburban
station at Halsted Street, Chicago.
The intervening distance is 1017
miles all to be traversed in the day
time. The actual running time is expect
ed to be about 15 hours.
The average scheduled speed will
approximate 70 miles pr hour.
The signal to go will be given in
the shadows of the Rockies soon af
ter dawn and the arrival at the Lake
Front is set for sometime before dusk.
It is planned that the Zephyr swing
around the southern end of the city.
making its first scheduled stop across
the Lief Ericson Drive at the Fair.
A few minutes later it will proceed
to its parking place at the transpor
tation section in A Century of Pro
gress.
Ralph Budd, president of the Bur
lington, today made official announce
ment of the Zephyr's amazing task,
following the close of the train's ex
hibition at the Union Stateion. The
streamline marvel on Thursday fin
ished its tour of the east with a rec
ord-breaking dash from Ft. Wayne.
In the face of a dust storm from the
west with a velocity at times of 40
miles per hour, the Zephyr traversed
the 141 miles from that Indiana city
to Englewood, Chicago, in 105 min
utes or an average of 80.2 miles per
hour. During a previous test in the
east under more 'favorable atmos
pheric conditions the Zephyr reach
ed a maximum of 107 miles per hour.
It seems that the idea of the dash
from Denver developed on the run
from Ft. Wayne when Mr. Budd and
Rufus C. Dawes were sitting in the
solarium observation end of the Hying
train. Mr. Dawes inquired if there
would be further speed tests after
the Zephyr reached Chicago and Mr
Budd replied that longer runs at high
speed would be undertaken on the
Burlington's own lines.
"Your new train typifies the new
century of progress," said Mr. Dawes,
why not bring it in all the way from
Denver where your railroad starts?"
Agreed," was Mr. Budd's assurin
answer. The problem was put up to
the Burlington's, operating officials
and the result was a carefully work-
ed-out time schedule.
When the Zephyr comes down the
home straightaway from Aurora, the
center track on the main line will be
reserved for the "stretch run." In sa
lute all trains on the two other tracks
will stop momentarily as the "silver
streak" flashes by.
It is difficult to compare the task
set for the Zephyr with trains oper
ated by steam. Locomotives have
gone in excess cf 500 miles on experi
mental trips but on an average of
200 miles, stops must be made for
fuel or water. The Zephyr uses ordi
nary furnace oil for fuel, averages
better than two miles to a gallon and
will carry in its tank a full supply
of 600 gallons when It pulls out of
Denver. Its radiator demands are
similar to an automobile a supply at
the start is ample for a full day's operation.

It isn't fair to ask a friend to sign

but (you know) he would rather not.
HE IS LIABLE
Greenwood officials have request
ed Commissioner Doerr of Lincoln
to make a proposition concerning
water service from the Ashland sup
ply sourceto the inhabitants of that
town.
"We will make a thoro check as to
line pressure there, height of their
storage tower and other matters be
fore giving an answer," said Doerr.
"We shall be pleased to serve Green
wood and expect eventually to fur
nish water to Ashland and Waverly.
They will have the advantage of a
larger available quantity thru buy
ing of us an advantage wortn
while. It means more to have say 12
million dallons daily available than
say 300,000 gallons."
If the city's proposition, when
ready, is accepted by Greenwood, wa
ter will be sold direct to the miini-
cipality from the big thirty-six inch
trunk main, the town doing its own
pumping into pressure tower.
Early in water extension program,
Commissioner Schroeder was asked
by Ashland officials to quote a price
on water. That was before the plant
was completed. The official was not
then possessed of sufficient informa
tion on costs, both construction and
operation, to make a definite proposi
tion. Additional equipment was pur
chased for Ashland and nothing since
has been said concerning shift to
Lincoln's supply.
It has long been the hope that
Ashland, Greenwood and Waverly
will eventually become customers.
The big pipe line was constructed
thru those places with this in view
and facilities for connections are in
the main.
