See The Eye ?
If not let me help you. Threading a
needle is one of the imrd things fet nhe
best of eyes , and much harder for defect
ive ones. It is the point where many
Opticians fail in giving clear and com
fortable vision. It's the point of excel
. lence I seek to attain. If the aid of a
\ glass will accomplish it , I guarantee to
> enable you to thread a needle as well , as
comfortably , and as easily as you ever
did in your life.

UPTURED AFTER LONG CHASE.
Man Accused of Horse Stealing Run
Down Keeps Two Sheriff's Busy.
A horsethief giving the name
Frank Ward , was captured Fri
day night eight miles east of
here ater giving the sheriffs of
Thomas and Custer counties a
merry chase since last Tuesday , j
Ward had only recenty gone to
work ior L. D , Evans , a livery
man at Seneca , and while the
oroprietor was at dinner last
Tuesday , took a fine horse and
equipment from the stable and
disappeared with them. After
notifying Sheriff Noell , Evans
and a ranchman named White-
man took up the trail and follow-
it twenty miles south. After
that it doubled back over forty
miles. Thee by devious routes
the fugitive worked his way
towards Broken Bow , covering
not less than 200 miles in the
three days. Sheriff Kennedy was
then asked to take a hand , and
upon the arrival of the Seneca
men piloted them to various
places about the county wherever
there seemed a clue.
Finally a man answering
Ward's description was seen to
pass Ab. Butcher's place north of
town. At Oscar Tappan's , north
of town , he asked for work but
did not obtain it. The sheriffs
followed him past Triplett's and
at the Booth farm eight miles
east he again applied for work
and was directed to Paul Hau-
mont's where he was located last
Friday , where he had gone to
work that morning and was in
the field plowing with a 4 horse
team.
When the two sheriffs with
Evans and Whiteman arrived at
Haumont's Ward saw them first
and deserting his team made for
cover. They chased him from
one canon into another.
Evans , seeing one of the Myers
boys working on a neighboring
fence and thinking it was Ward ,
indulged in a few random shots.
Fortunately the mistake was dis
covered before any serious dam
age was done. Ward , seeing the
officers going in another direction
emerged from a culvert , and was
immediately spotted and run
down.
The prisoner , who is about
forty five years old , admitted
stealing the horse , which is at
Cushman's livery barn resting up ,
and said he lived at Fairbury
Under close questioning by Sher
iff Kennedy he stated that he
had once been taken on requisi
tion to Clay Center , Kas. , for sel
ling mortgaged property and had
there shot a deputy sheriff.
Two Kansas officers were in
Seneca looking for a man of his
description the day after he dis
appeared.
