On a dark and “Willy-Knight” a “Pathfinder” set out to locate the “Chevrolet,” and on his trip he was forced to “Ford” the “Hudson” and “Dodge” “Overland” in his rush to make a “Paige” in history. With a load of “Saxons” he was struck with a Tierce Arrow and knocked “Cole. Must be the same fellow who' in an swer to the question, “Have you a lit tle fairy in your home?” answered, “No, but I have a little miss is my engine.”—Engine. In the busy old world no one seems to be satisfied. One man is struggling to get justice and another is fleeing from it. One man is saving up to buy a home, another is trying hard t»o sell his dwelling for less than it cost in order to get rid of it. One man is spending all the money he can earn on auto and theaters for his girl and sending her valuable presents in hopes that he may eventually make her his wife, while his neighbor’s spending all the gold he has saved trying ot get a divorce. One man keeps a pistol vto 'protect himself against burglers, while his neighbor doesn’t keep one for fear of shooting himself or some member of the family. One man pays for his paper in advance because he can read it with greater relish, while another takes it as long as he pos sibly can without paying one cent for it and enjoys it hugely all the while. Surely this is a queer old world. VOTERS DISREGARD PARTY LINKS AND TIES Voters' in the nation, state and county cast aside party ties and dis regarded party lines in the general election Tuesday Pre-election fore casts based on what either party did in past elections proved valueless. R. B. Howell, republican candidate for United States senator, defeated his democratic opponent, Gilbert M. Hitch cock by an overwhelmning vote and then the voters turned right around and defeated Charles Randall, repub lican candidate for governor, giving Charles W. Bryan, his democratic op ponent a vote almost identical with that of Howell. In the congressional fight in the sixth districts of the state three republicans, Sears of Omaha, McLaughlin of York and Simmons of Scotts Bluffs, and three democrats, Howard of Columbus, Morehead of rails City and Shallenberper of Alma apparently are elected. In several of the districts the official canvas will be required to decide. On the face of the unofficial returns all of the re republican candidates on the state ticket with the exception of Crawford Kennedy, candidate for secretary of state, seem to have been elected. In Holt county John A. Robertson, the democratic candidate for state sena tor, ran well ahead of Hrar.tly Sturde vant, his republican opponent and poes out of the county with enouph marpin to practically assure his election in the district. Donald Gallapher, republi can candidate for representative, de cisively defeated Grabble, democratic nominee. On the county ticket the only close contest were on sheriff and on county clerk, accordinp to the re turns, every other of the republican candidates triumphing over his demo cratic opponent by a largo majority. On the face of the unofficial returns Sheriff Duffy has a lead of two over Bnittell. Porter, -republican county clerk, has a lead of ninety-eipht over John Gallapher, democrat. There are fifty-nine absent voters ballots to be counted when the canvassinp Ixiard convenes. In the contest for sheriff these might overturn the apparent victoi v of Sheriff Duffy, but it is con ddere j doubtful. Two republican can did iter, for supervisor, Havens and o’.Bs two democrats. Sullivan and Gibson, and one petition candidate, Larson, have been elected to the five vacancies on the county board. Mr. Larson's party affiliations are re publican. Miss Anna Donohoe, pres ent county superintendent, defeated her exponent, John Y. Ashton, on the non-political ballot, by a very larpe majority.

BACKES GETS FROM ONE TO TWENTY YEARS IN PEN Melvin Backes, the fellow from the northern part of the county who was arrested last week on a complaint chaiging him with child stealing, was arraigned before Judge Dickson in the District court Friday and received a sentence of from one to twenty years in the penitentiary. Backes became imfatuated with his thirteen year old sister-in-law, Pearl Crum, the daughter of Mrs. Margaret Crum, living near Anncar, and with whom Bakes and his wife were mak ing their home. Ulpon the pretext of going elsewhere to seek work, Backes was taken to Bristow last Tuesday where he was sup posed to take the train for Norfolk. Later that night he returned and ac companied the little girl to Bristow where he was apprehended the follow ing morning occupying the same room with her. They were brought to O’Neill and Backes later plead guilty bo the charge. On account of the overcrowded condition of the state penitentiary Backes will perhaps make his home with Sheriff Duffy for the Vi resent.
