'Over one hundred automobile loads of Brown might be headed lor the sand 'boosters gathered here to celebrate the hill region, as this would make an ex cellent place to hide. There is little doubt that he will avoid the well trav eled highways, as these aie closely guarded. The car in which he is reported to be traveling1 is 15-170. Brown is said to be five feet three inches tall, about thirty-soven years of age, and to be tatooed on both arms, one arm carry ing the picture of an American eagle. A reward of $100 is offered for his ar rest and detention, and $2,700 more in various ways. The total reward for his capture will amount to $2,800. Brown is the man who captured and chained two Omaha girls, and held them and a man who tried to rescue them, in a cave for two days. Brown is also believed to be Ernest Bush, who was sent up for life in 1898 for murder. This was when he was only sixteen years old. He was pardoned a few days later, and was sent up again recently for a minor crime. He was again pardoned without any close ex amination of his past record. COMMITTEES CHOSEN FOR CELEBRATION J. W.

Afcate is today probably the most! widely known "country postoffice" and the famous Cook ranch the most wide ly advertised ranch in the world, due to the fact that on this ranch are lo cated the extensive Agate fossil beds, in which was found the "missing link" tooth by Dr. Harold J. Cook, to whom is due the credit for the development of these beds, which are the Mecca of scientists the world over, in their en deavors to trace back the pages of history in their study of the evolution .ef the human race. iie Agate highway has been opened 'for tte purpose of providing a tourist highway to the fossil beds and the Cook ranch, in which Dr. Harold J. Cook and his father, Captain Cook, 2iai'e assembled one of the largest pri vate collections of fossils and early prairie relics in the country. Several parties of eastern geologists and sci entists are already at the fossil quar ries and other parties are expected jsoon, as the finding of the "missing link tooth" has greatly stimulated in terest and an extensive search is to e made during this summer for the balance of the skeleton of the pre historic man. - Picnic and Program r " ifty-one auto loads of people from -a . a : Vj. ance and Hemmgiora were m IwlV xl in the delegations attending the nuwt 'ig a Agate oh Sunday.

But Luck , Was Against Them It. O, WERNER EXPLAINS PLANS FOR THE TRIP. HIS !Two Humlrc A highly profitable, although some what rioky money-making scheme was 1ractically ruined in Alliance Monday afternoon, when Chief of Police C. W. Jetl'ers placed under arrest Jack C. Williams, and later picked up Wil liams' buddy, who gives his nam as Elmer King. The plan they apparent ly used was one that has been known to police officers for tome time, the latest artists being a man and his wife who are now sought by police at North Platte and probably a ck2en other places. ' The scheme is simplicity itself. King came into Alliance Monday morning with his buddy, and proceeded imme diately to the First State bank where he opened a checking account, deposit ing $40 in cash to his credit. He was dressed after the fashion of ranch men and the hank officials took him to be an employe of a ranch. Then Williams proceeded to cash a number of checks written by King. The plan was to cash checks' to as large an amount as possible and then fade gen tly away. The only difficulty was that some of the business houses to which the checks were presented failed to come through, and it was only a short time until the officers were on the trail of the pair. After that, it was a comparatively easy thing to pick them up. So far as the police have been able to discover, Williams cashed checks to the amount of exactly $40, the sum deposited by his buddy. However, checks were written to the total of $85, and six of them have been lo cated Williams made small purchases at Roy Beckwith's, where he received change from a $15 check; at Harper's, where he presented a $15 check, and at E. Essay's, where he cashed a check for $10. A check for one dollar was written at a local cafe, where the pair ate dinner, and another was left at a local bakery. When the officers ar-S rested Williams, they recovered all the merchandise purchased, with the ex ception of two-bits worth of cookies, and over $35 in cash. Williams also attempted to cash a $30 check at the Committees have been appointed to taKe cnarge or tne rourtn. nr juiy First 'Nalionai bank and another $15 entertainment that ha3 been sponsored check at the Famous, but was unsuc- W.

Thomas of the Al liance chamber of commerce has re ceived the following letter from H. O. Werner of Lincoln, associate horticul turist of the University of Nebraska, in which Mr. Werner explains the ten tative plans for the potato tour this year. In the last, this has not in cluded Box Butte county, but in view of the great interest here in certified seed, and also the interest in dry land seed potatoes in irrigated sections, it has been deemed advisable this year. ' Mr. Werner writes: "Last week when I was in Alliance for the purpose of supervising the planting of a potato plot on the farm of Mr. Newman, I endeavored to get in touch with you by telephone, ut home ami at your office, but was un able to get you or to talk to you. I was hoping to have the opportunity to discuss a potato field trip, which we promise to run this summer, in west em Nebraska. For the last two years we have had potato tours in Scotts Biuff county. Last Year's Spud Tour. "The tour last year was especially successful having been attended by about 125 people in about thirty-five automobiles. The party was inspect ing potato fields and experimental und dcmonstrational plots from 7:tf0 a. m. till G p. m. Practically every one was very enthusiastic about the trip. K. L. Pierce and Mr. Jenkins from lleming ford accompanied the party. I think they were the only representatives from Box Butte county. Most of the people who attended, claimed that this day was worth as much to them as some of the winter meetings of the association. "In view of the great interest in certified seed potatoes in Box Butte county this year and also in view of the interest beinir taken in dry land seed potatoes in the Irrigated aecttona of theA state, especially Scotts Bluffs county, it has seemed very advisable to us that we include Box Butte coun ty in the plans for potato tour this vcar. - . . ... t f - - it. A "Uur tentative pians ior me wur thU vear are that we start at Kimball on August 15, spending one day in Kimball county,, spending AUgusi 10 at Scotts Bluff county coming to Box Butte county early in the forenoon oi August 17, making a tour throughout Box Butte county on the 17th, ending up with a meeting at Alliance in tne evening. We will possibly travel on to Dawes county on tne itn. we are hoping that no less than 200 people will be in the party in Scotts Bluff county. Of these, probably or ov will be from outside of the potato growing sections. Possibly a number from other states. Growers to Make Trip. "We are expecting all growers of certified seed to make the trip through Box Butte county if not through Scotts Bluff countv and pibably many of the growers in Scotts Bluff county who are in the market for dry land seed po tatoes will make the trip to Box Butte countv. Everyone who is on this trip is very keenly interested in me po tato industry of western Nebraska. "We are houine that the various (nu'na lipinir visited by this party most especially the towns of Alliance and Scottsbluff will take it upon them' selves to provide some means of show ; ttioir hnwnitnlitv and interest in the potato industry. Possibly one of the most desirable means of doing so would be to have the commercial club act as host for the party for a dinner after the day has been sent in Box Butte county or possibly if the sched ule or trip works out in that way to (Continued n Tage 8.)

At the request of the defendant the case was transfcred from the Chadron court, where he was to have appeared Septemler 11, to the Omaha court. Mr. Hicks asked that this might Ik? done in order that he might plead guilty to the charge and get the matter over with. He will appear soon in the Omaha court, his appearance bond being set at $1,500. MRS. BAIN BRIDGE PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULT CHARGE Mrs. Mattie Bainbridge, who lives north of the fair ground., pleaded guilty in county court before Judge Tash this morning to a complaint charging her with assaulting Mrs. J. R. Feagins, a neighbor, and paid a fine of $10 and costs. The court room was nearly filled with friends of the two women. Complaint was filed last Wednesday by Mr. Feagins, who told County At torney Basye that his wife had been badly injured and that the results might be serious. Mr. and Mrs. George Donnelly of Lincoln, the latter a sister of Miss Ethel Clarv of the county clerk's office, arrived Thursday of last week and sent several days in Alliance.

Alliance was host Monday to the an nuul convention of the twelfth coun cillor district of the Western Na braska Medical society. Over fifty physicians Irom Box Butte, Dawes, Morrill and Scotts Bluff counties went in attendance. Sessions were held; at the district court room, and the visit ing physicians were the guests of th Alliance chamber of commerce at the noon luncheon. In the afternoon the following program was presented: Dr. Morris of Alliance welcomed the visiting doctors and Dr. Stewart Mitchell responded. Dr. Weyrens of Alliance spoke on the problems connected with the thy roid gland. Dr. Weyrens went into th history of the thyroxin treatment, and its discovery by Dr. E. C. KendalL Dr. Weyren s talk was fully illustrated by slides, and he showed the action of thyroxin on the human body by this means. Dr. Weyrens then took up the goiter problem, and discussed the var ious methods of treatment. He said! that goiters on young people, especial ly growing girls, should never be op erated upon, but should be treated, medically. The second or adenometa class, he also said, should generally not be operated on until the patient is at least thirty yeurs old. Even after the patient has reached the age of thirty it is necessary to operate on only 23 !er cent of the cases. The last class, the crophthaimic goiters are danger ous and should be treated surgically. Dr. Stoops of Scottsbluff discussed the problems of the medical men deal ing with infection in the middle ear. and of the number of cases of infec tion of this kind as the result of trou ble in the inner ear. Dr. Ivens ot Crawford spoke on tu use of radium in connection with sur gical work. He said that In mcy, cases where surgical aid waa impos sible that radium could be used wUA a treatly beneftctttreffect., .-- r I)r. Buskin of Alliance spoke m th use of local anaesthetics, and of th recent developments in this line. 11 said that the most widely used anaes thetic for this ue wa covacaia, wiuci is only one-seventh to one-tenth svt poisonous as cocaine, which was for merly used. He mentioned several types of operations that could be suc cessfully pertormed with tne use oc local anaesthetics. The members voted to hold the sen meeting in Scottsbluff sometime io October, the date not being definitely set. The session concluded with a ban quet at the Palm room of the Alliancej notei in me evening, ai wnicn me prin cipal speaker was Dr. Harold Cook ot . Agate. The Theory of Evolution. "The theory of evolution is one ot the grandest now in existence, and should in no way conflict with the or dinary reliigous beliets of any roan," said Dr. Cook in his lecture on "Th Evolution of Life." Mr. Vook differed with William Jennings Bryan, who made the assertion that no man could reconcile the theory of evolution withj the teachings of the Bible. The speak er made no attempt to do this, but he did claim that the theory of evolution was fully in accord with the principle of a great supreme being, some con trolling force, or what we are pieasea (Continued on Page 8.)
