CRONIN STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE Norfolk News: Omaha, Neb., Feb. 20: United States Marshal Dennis H. Cronin had a narrow escape from serious injury when he was struck by an automobile at Sixteenth and Dodge streets. It was a head-on collision, occurring just as Marshal Cronin stepped from a street car. The marshal, who weighs close to 300 pounds, sagacious ly draped himself over the radiator of the automobile and took a fifty foot ride in a posture that would have been extremely tempting to a Hoosier schoolmaster in the days of fusti gation. Marshal Cronin’s most severe hurt was an over-dose of liniment he ap plied to certain bruised sections of his vast anatomy, and which scorched him so that he was the most active govern ment officer in the federal building during the whole forenoon.

Brennan SfEAKENfr or CHECKERS. g)"a Q. Adkins, the checker wizard pf utte, defeated Henry W. Tomlinson, the O’Neill champion, for the cham pionship of Boyd and Holt counties, in the Butte-O’Neill tournament Monday afternoon. The rest of the Butte checker club accompanying Mr. Adkins to O’Neill Monday morning .defeated the rest of the O’Neill club Monday night and Tuesday morning early just about as decisively as Mr. Adkins did Mr. Tomlinson. It was a great tour nament, witnessed by a great throng and the nine or ten players from Butte all demonstrated themselves to be masters of the game. There was no way of telling exactly how many checker players came over from Butte. The Butte bunch claimed only nine and that the rest of the crowd accompany ing them were merely admirers and custodians of the bank roll, but two or three misguided O’Neill players who enticed some of the supposed non cohibatants into contests are of the impression that the Butte claims were misleading. In fact since the tourna ment every member of the O’Neill club engaged therein has been heard to intimate that the man whom he en gaged was at least the equal of Mr. Adkin, but not meaning to insinuate that the latter gentleman is not some player. The games were exceedingly inter esting to the spectators, many who came to scoff remaining to pay. Mr. Adkins and Mr. Tomlinson met in the afternoon in a ten game schedule, but only played nine, Adkins winning five, Tomlinson two and two game being draws. In the evening individual players from O’Neill, selected by the local boosters, were pitted against like contestants named by the Butte crowd. A checker tournament is very much like a golf tournament. Onlookers are not supposed to comment of kid the players, and a general silence pre vailed, only broken occasionally by the click of a Butte checker skipping from square to square over the backs of O’Neill checkers to the king row, the frenzied groan of Coach Joe Bursh over the faux pas of some O’Neill player, or the hollow plunk of climax in a spectaroon, directed by some con testant deep in concentration. The only way for the uninitiated to judge which of the Butte players were the better, was that the more exprt seemed to solve their problems quicker than the others. The experts made their moves with the rapidity of cold molasses, most difficult to follow with the naked eye, While the less accom plished took more time. All in all the tournmaent was a most enjoyable af fair, Butte allowing O’Neill to win several games both afternoon and evening, and Doc. Larry Carter even took the winner’s end in a six game contest with the champion emeritus of Boyd county. The only unkind event in the whole affair was when one Butte man blindfolded himself before he played against Jimmy O'Donnell. Those comprising the Butte delega tion were O. G. Adkins, C. Read, G. S. Whitman, W. E. Leatherman, F. C. Couch, L. H. Carmichael, A. U. Dix, J. M. Dennis, G. W. Short, S. J. Rem henner, Henry Remhenner, John Men tsen. REMORSEFUL AUTO BANDIT SURRENDERS HERE Ezra Malcolm Jameson, aged 22, Tuesday afternoon gave himself up to Mayor C. M. Daly, asked that he be locked up and that the authorities at Nichols, Iowa, from which place he had stolen a car belonging to a relative, be notified. Jameson drove into toiwn from the east, in a heavy mist and drizzle, about 3 o’clock, tired, cold, damp, broke, hungry, and about out of gasoline for the stolen car, and parking in front of Daily’s office set out to find the sheriff or his deputy, both of whom happened to be out of town. He then inquired for the mayor and walked in to the office of the lat ter, saying that he wanted to sur render. Questioned by the mayor, Jameson stated that he had been driv ing west every since taking the car, with no particular objective in view, and hr.d concluded to stop here when his funds become exhausted, the gas ran low and hunger and remorse be gan to knaw. Touched by his story, the tender hearted mayor called the gendarme, who locked Jameson up be fore notifying the Iowa authorities. When locked up Jameson earnestly re quested the officer not to be late about getting ardund with supper. An Iowa officer is being sent after Jameson.
