SANTA CLAI'S WILL KK
HERE DECEMBER 23rd
As announced in last week’s Fron
tier Santa Claus will arrive in O’Neill
Tuesday afternoon, December 23rd,
with a great big load of candy and
nuts for the kiddies. Santa Claus has
sent word to the committee that he is
bringing only the best of his supply
of candy to the O’Neill little folks;
he thinks that the best is not a bit
too good for O’Neill folks, so he is
loading up his car with several hun
dred sacks from his better grades of
candy.
The large tree is ready to be set up
on the intersection of Fourth and
Douglas; the Interstate Pow'er Co.
will light the tree as soon as the com
mittee get it in place.
If there are any little folks who are
not able to come to O’Neill on the
day that Santa Claus is hero they
can write Santa a letter and if there
is enough candy in his pack to go
around, he will see that each child
gets some candy.

And so it is with your motor ... 40% to 60%
of all motor wear occurs in the first few
minutes after starting, because ordinary oils
drain away in idle periods. But CONOCO
Germ-Processed oil is always on guard duty,
never drains away, penetrates metal surfaces,
reduces starting wear.
A step on the starter always takes ordinary oils
unawares, and it is then that most damage occurs in
your motor. By draining away during idle periods,
ordinary oils "let down their guard” and let your
motor in for severe punishment at a time when
protection is vitally needed.
On the other hand, Germ-Processed oil always
has its guard up. Its film penetrates and clings to
every working part while the motor is idle.
The first motor revolution finds ready lubrica
tion guarding every clearance. The 40% to 60%
of wear which might have taken place before you
ever shift a gear is substantially reduced.
Thousands of motorists have found that this
improved motor oil prolongs motor life and gives
better all-round performance. You can find
CONOCO Germ-Processed Motor Oil wherever
you see the CONOCO Red Triangle.

AGENTS ARE TARGETS
OF GUNMEN’S BULLETS
(Omaha World-Herald)
Louis Caniglia, 1235 South Seventh
street, is being held at the city jail
in default of 10 thousand dollars bail
on a temporary charge or armed re
sistance, as the result of a wild chase
at two o’clock Thursday morning
through “Little Italy” during which
many shots were fired in the direc
tion of Federal Prohibition Agents
Claude Williams and George Bay,
who were both chasers and chasees.
The disturbance began when the
officers, who were “scouting” in an
automobile, saw Caniglia drive by in
a car, and set out to catch him. The !
race had progressed around several \
blocks when a third car entered, be
hind the officers’ car. Bullets began
to fly, and residents begun running
into the streets.
“Before long,” said Agent Bay,
“there was so much dust and confu-;
sion that we couldn’t tell who was
doing the shooting. We didn't do:
any because we didn’t know whether
bullets were coining from the car we
were chasing, or the car that was
chasing us, or from persons on the
street.”
At Seventh and Pierce streets, the
officers “pocketed” Caniglia. Agent
Williams started with him in the of
ficers’ car to the city jail, and Bay
followed in Caniglia’s car. Before
they had proceeded a block two shots
crashed through the automobile win
dow close to Wililams' head, he said.
At police headquarters Caniglia
denied doing any shooting. A 32-cal
iber automatic pistol was found in
his car, and also 15 empty jugs.
Caniglia explained that he sought
to elude the officers because he
thought they were holdup men.
