CITY MANAGER
TELLS DETAILS
PHONE HEARING
M ILL REQUIRE SEVERAL WEEKS
TO COMPLETE IT.
IWision on Application for an
crease in Rates Expected
Some Time in July.
In
City Manager X. A. Kemmish, who
represented Alliance in the hearing
before the state railway commission
this week on the application of the
.Northwestern Bell Telephone company
for authority to increase rates, re
turned to Alliance Thursday. Mr.
Kemmish took a prominent part in
fighting the apulication. and suhmitto.t
a lengthy brief in which he relieved
the situation from a number of anirles
nu fuomurea iacis ana figures in
support of his position that the com
pany is not justified in asking for ad-
uiuonai revenues.
Mr. Kemmish has riven th fnltnw.
ing statement in regard to what has
happened in the hearing to date, hnd
the prospects, for a favorable decision:
"The first three days this week we
attended the hearing regarding the ap
plication oi tne .Northwestern Bell
.telephone company for increase in
telephone rates now before the state
railway commission at Lincoln. It was
indeed gratifying to see the thorough
ness with which the railway commis
sion is going into this matter. This
rearing has been in progress in one
form or another for nearly four weeks.
It will require several weeks yet to
complete it. The commission will not
be in position to give its final order
until possibly sometime in July after
all evidence given during this hearing
lias been thoroughly gone into.
Commission Is Alert.
'In the interests of the public, the
railway commission has employed spe-
ciai accountants and engineers and
legal council to assist them in obtain-
ing the lacts. Members or the com-
mission are alert and on their toes, so
to speak, and from all indications they
are striving to get at the facts in the
case. i
"The commission has made a study
cf ten representative citlea In Nebras-
ka, in which Alliance was chosen as
the ftrst one oi these representative
cities. This study shows a wide varia
tion of returns made upon the invest
ment. , Alliance stands well up' to the
liead of the list. Outside of Omaha,
Alliance has been more frequently re
ferred to than any other city all
through the hearing. We feel that the
commission has our problem well in
hand and that when the final order is
given that we will be given just and
fair consideration.

this beautifukrustom.
To this end, we ask the business
men of Alliance to close their places
of business at noon for the balance
of the day on Tuesday, May 30, and

SETTLEMENT OF
FORD CAR ROW
NOW IN SIGHT
CALVIN WALKER ACQUIESCES U
SUGGESTION MADE.
TTF'fl 1 - - ; t wm
Says if Harry i wurwj' Will Donat
Ancient Flivver, He'll Accept
Under Certain Conditions.
At last it begins to look as thoutrh
a compromise settlement might be
reached in the Ford car pnnlrnvurcv
which has stirred tin consider Mp tl
citement in Alliance since Calvin D.
Walker, who held the winning number
drawing loiiowing the automo-
iIo show, was ruled out on the ground
inat ne was a Dusines3 man. Mr.
Walker made the point that although
e was a business man he was not,
strictly speaking, a merchant, and that
any man wno transacted business was
& business man. The puzzle was put
up to the forty-eight merchants who
contributed the money to buy the prize
r ora, ana waiicer secured twenty-four
signatures to a petition asking that
the car be turned over to him, and
as mis was not a majority, a secret
ballot of the merchants followed. In
the secret ballot, Walker secured
twenty-one supporters to twenty-four
tor V. I. Beach, second man in the
drawing, and Beach was awarded the
car. .
In a letter to The Herald. Mr.
Walker accepts a proposition which
Harry Coursey is quoted as making,
Up to Harry Coursey
Mr. Walker's letter follows:
ALLIANCE, Neb., May 25. To the
t,ditor of I he Herald :
"Harry Coursey says that if Cal
vin insists upon having a car he has
an old one over there, that he will
give him. This ought to end the
controversy." Alliance Times, May
23.
I hereby accept Harry's most gen
erous oner or the old Lizzie, and ask
that delivery be made at once.
When Harry turns the old boat over
to me I am going to ask that Col. L.
E. Bliss auction it off to the highest
bidder on the streets of Alliance, Sat
urday, June 3, and the entire proceeds
turned over to the Alliance Fire de
partment. Thus a most hnppv cul
mination will lie bad to this FoH
drawing contest and everybody will
be satisfied. It is now up to Harrv.

alone, there being no withdrawal of
the withdrawal. Some who are fami
liar with the congressional mind of
Kinkaid are of the oninion that he in-
tends to run for congress again but
the record at the. state house does not
ndicate it.
Last Friday a newsnaner disnntrh
from Washington said Mr. Kinkaid had
decided to withdraw his nomination
filing and would not run. Disoatrhen
published Saturday morning said he
iad chanced his mind and that he hail
been importuned to stay in the race
and that in consideration of his not
being required to do anythin in the
campaign he would prevail upon hi
jny.-.ician to let him run lust once
more, making the eleventh consecutive
un tor a two years' term in congress.
Now comes the offirial record. Sec-

stay there until the last day allowed
for withdrawal. .Then it will be with-

A. R. Humphrey, Mr. Kinkaid's irri-1
gation committee secretary, has le-1
clined to permit a nominating petition I
to be filed for him by friends at

to reach any considered decision on the

candidate for re-election. Although hi
doctors do not see any grave and im

congressman himself is greatly wor

although his physicians say that the
fundamental trouble is with his heart
action. Because ot the latter tney or

As the matter stands now Repre

Suit
in District Court Brings
Details of An Interesting
Excursion.
Ou
in the trial or the ro f it,
Southwestern Mercantile company of
hnnsas City vs. John MrPurth
jaKPside and the rota,:h KtjitA imt
of Antioch, held in district court in
session at Rushville this week, the tp.
timony disclosed an interesting story.
The Potash State bnnk was repre
sented by Attorney William Mitchell
of this city, Mr. McCarthy by S. I.
O'Brien of Crawford and the plaintiffs
by legal talent from Rushville. The
Alliance attorney wu successful in
getting the case against the bank dis
missed, but the Lakeside man sue-
ceeded In saving only a small portion
oi tne 9i,7W over which the case
arose. i
It appears that McCarthy is a bache-
nr. ftnm lvtt7 va. ncv v4im vna
employed for some time by a Lakeside
potash, plant during the period f pros
perity and afterward. He had saved
up at least $1,700 and started out for
Kansas City to enloy himself. He
took the money with him in two drafts
from the Potash State bank, one for
700 and the other for $1,000. Arriv
ing at Kansas City' he apparently
became bewildered by the tail build
ings. At any rate, when he presented
his drafts at a Kansas City bank to be
cashed, the bank officials refused to
accommodate him.
Into the Hands of the Enemy.
Right at this point, the testimony
showed that McCarthy fell into the
hands of the Philistines. Disheartened.
he was turning away from the ca-li
ter's window, when a hand clutched
is sleeve. It was one of the member
f the Southwestern Mencantile com
pany, Ihis gentleman, whose faee
was of a decidedly Hebraic cast,
whispered to him that even if the
ank wouldn t cash his check, his com
ianv would, nrovided Mr. McCarthy
mafe a small purchase of goods.
11m solution of his ditlirulties np-
teaied to McUaitnv, and he accom
panied his new friend. The South
western Mercantile company proceeded
to show the goods. And they sold him
little bit of everything, including a
felt overcoat, a quantity of jewelry,
thirty-. econd degree Masonic charm
nd ring. When :he bill was figured
i, it amounted to $lC.
At this, point, the testimony of
plaintiff and defendant diverges. The
laintiffs declare that they counted
ut his change to him and placed him
board a train bound for home and
that they thought everything was all
rilit, until they saw him the next
morning in company with a gentleman
of color. The defendant declares that
when be awoke the next morning he
was in a hotel in Kansas City and that
his bankroll, be discovered, consisted
of fifty-one one-dollar bills.
But in some manner, the two Drafts
disappeared. The Southwestern Mer
cantile company wrote the Potash
State bank, saying that they owned
the drafts, but had misplaced them,
and requested that the money be sent
them by the next mail, and greatly
oblige. The bank replied that they had
the money and would pay it out when
the drafts were returned, properly en
dorsed. The mercantile company promptly
brought suit against the bank and
McCarthy. The court held that the
bank was not a party to the suit.
Judge Westover, in making his decis
ion, proceeded to fix the value of the
goods purchased by McCarthy, and
found that they were worth but $116
instead of $405 that McCarthy had
paid. This resulted in a saving to the
defemlant of $3r0. The $1,700 has
been paid over te the court and will be
forwarded to the Kansas City firm.
The trip to Kansas City occurred
about a year ago. Mr. McCarthy told
the court that he was quite a traveler
in his way.

Boyd is Released
From County Jail
Tuesday Evening:
Jesse Boyd, who with Harve Shep-
herd, was arrested May 1 by Officer
Stilwill ami Burlington Special Agent
Martin, was released Tuesday evening,
his bond of $1,000 being furnished by
C. II. Benjamin of Alliance and
M. O. New of Hay Springs.
Boyd has been in the county
iail twenty-two days, having;
been put in on May 1. 'lhe other man
who was arrested with him, Harve
Shepherd, was released about ten days
ago.
Boyd and Shepherd were arrested
when found emerging frym the alley
between Second and Third street on
Cheyenne avenue with two tires which
they had taken from the Farmers'
I'n'on. They pleaded guilty to the
charge at the preliminary hearing and
will be tried at the term of district
court starting early in September,
Boyd was shot in the left leg at the
time ot the capture and was unable
to walk until recently. He row walk
with a slight limp. Boyd, it will be
remembered, was found in his home
after having run two blocks with a
bullet in his thigh.
The men evidently will finht convic
tion on the charge, as they did not
wish to plead guilty and go to Rush
ville to Judge Westover to be senten
ced even at the time whin it appeared
very doubtful it they could obtain
bond. Their case will be among the
first to be taken up at the next terra
of district court, which convenes Sep
tember 11.
County Attorney Gets
Hint of An Autoist
Without 1922 Tag
County Attorney Lee Basye received
a letter Thursday from some unknown,
person informing him that this person's
neighbor had failed to obtain an auto
license, and that this should be at
tended to. The letter was signed
"Observer." The matter was taken up
with the person mentioned and a i
cense was immediately obtained. Mr,
Bayse remarked that if Observer
knew of any more cases in which the
law is being disregarded, that th
information would be most welcome.
