As the Ne groes were speeding along a team and wagon suddenly showed up ahead of them and the driver of the car threw on the brakes and turned the machine to the side of the road so quickly that it turned over. No one was hurt, but the car was badly battered. The ma chine bore a Nebraska license tag and the Negroes wore diamonds or what resembled them, enough to buy two or three ears like the one they were driving.—Liberty (Mo.) Advance. A generation ago the sight of Ne ; groes wearing diamonds, driving a big ! touring car at a rate of sixty miles an ■ l our, would have caused a sensation from Maine to California.—Daily Call, Excelsior Springs, Mo. The above item was clipped from the Daily Call of Excelsior Springs, Mo. The “speeders” were John H. Broomfield, William Jackson and Tvob : ert Wisdom of Omaha, who were e:i route to Excelsior Springs in Mr. Broomfield’s car. VISIT THE LITTLE HOMESTEAD CAFE Good Home Cooking.
