United States Naturalisation Ex
mlner J. M. Ournett, of the St.
Ixuls, Mo., naturalisation district,
rho la permanently assigned to the
tate of Nebraska, haa reviewed the
naturaltiatlou records in the oince oi
the clerk of the district court for
Cox Butte county, M. 8. Margraves,
nd as a result thereof directs atten
tion to the fact that through neglect
tnany aliens of this county are per
mitting their declaration! of inten
tion, or first papers, to expire.
Under the federal naturalisation
tatute now in force, any alien who
tiled his declaration of Intention af
ter September 26, 1901, must file ap
plication for hla final papers In the
district court clerk's office In the
ounty In which he lives, within ser
pen years after the date of executing
firat ninitri. or all the rights ac
quired by -Llm under said first papers
are lost, and to secure naturalisa
tion he must proceed br filing a new
first paper, waiting two years more
before he Is again eligible to file ap
plication for full citizenship.
Th einminer states that there are
at the present time a considerable
number of aliens In this county who
-r in DOBsession of worthless first
juDn. due to the fact that they fail
ed to petition for citizenship before
the seven year period expired, mey
ahould immediately go io nr. iiar
vravpn' office and file new first Da
pers. As all first papers filed since
September 26, 1906, bear upon their
ar the inscriDtion "Invalid for All
Purposes Seven Years after the Date
Hereof", the examiner etater that
any use by an alien of a paper that
.has exoired is directly contrary to
the laws of the United States. The
government has a complete record of
the names, addresses, occupations,
tc, of all persons holding first pa
pers, and Is therefore In a position
to readily detect the illegal use of an
expired paper.
According to the examiner there
rare upwards of 100 aliens residing in
Sox Butte county holding first pa
pers which, though still good, will
become worthless wlthia a very short
- time unless the holders snake appli
cation for naturalisation In the very
.near future. These persona may, by
Implying to M. 8. Hargravea. clerk of
the district court, at Alliance, obtain
free of charge, Information concern

Just at the time he needa the protec

switch engine was in that part of the
yards, when the other end of the
train was bumped, driving the en
gine about three car lengths with Mr.
Wltham underneath.
Mr. Wltham was saved only by a
miracle. He was lying on hla back
and part of the engine passed over
his body before he caught hold and
threw himself out between the huge
drivers. His only Injury was a bad
ly bruised right arm. There were
no bones broken.
School Starts Monday
All ararngements are now com
pleted for the opening of the Alliance
city schools next Monday. The build
ings have be n thoroughly cleaned,
which includes the oiling of the
Boors and washing the seats. The
kids are loatlng for all they are
worth, for they realize that the time
is now short until they will have to
spend most of their days behind a
lot of books.
Had a Narrow KMcape
Carl Wltham, well known Burling
ton engineer, had a narrow escape
from being instantly killed Saturday
night at 11:30 o'clock, when the
train of freight cars to which his en
gine was attached, was atruck by
another engine and moved several
car lengths with him lying under
naath Mr. Wltham had crawled un
der the switch engine to fix a brake
rod. The engine was attached to a
train of cars. The fireman and
witrhman were alttlnK on the rail
between the engine and tank. None
of them had any idea that the other

WAS MENTALLY DERANGED
Young Man Who Apxared at Tele-
..I....... fAi m a .i
Waa Trying to Kill Him
A young man giving the name of
Earnest Wart hem appeared at the
telephone office and put in a long
distance call to Hebron, Nebr. While
waiting for the call he appealed to
Manager Gleason for protection, say
ing as he did so that someone was
following him and attempting to kill
him. Warthem explained that he
had recently patented an invention
that was worth millions of dollars,
and that his enemies were trying to
steal the patent and model. The long
distance call could not be put
through at once owing to the party
called being out on his farm at the
time. Warthem disappeared for
some time, and when he next appear
ed at the telephone office he wore an
almost complete change of costume,
but not a change of mind, as he was
still possessed with the idea that he
was a doomed man.
He f i vt his place of residence aa
Hebron, and at times appeared al
most rational. His second visit to
the telephone office was also futile,
as the party on the other end of the
line had not yet appeared. Soon af
ter Warthem departed the second
time the party was connected, and
said that he had quit work and come
to town so he could establish better
connections. But Warthem could
not bo found then.
In the evening he was turned over
to Chief Jeffers who took him to sup
per, but the young man finally gave
him the slip, and Is still "at large".
