VISITS WITH OLD FRIENDS
From Saturdav's raiy.
Our old friend, Ed Parriott, was in
j the city today to spend a few hours
j while enroute back to his home at
! Peru, and of course was a caller at
'the Journal editorial rooms for a
short visit. Mr. Parriott has been
visiting since Wednesday at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Moore, east
of Murray and was brought up thi
Peru and this gives Grandpa Parriott
a fine opportunity of enjoying the so
ciety of the little one.

The office of Dr." E. W. Cook

first class shape and now presents a
most attractive appearance. The
work has been looked after by N. K
Peoples and the doctor can now boast
of a very fine office.

BOTHERS GUN TELL
THEIH DAUGHTERS
The thrilling white slave play "One
Girl's Mistake"' will be at the Par-
mele Theatre Wednesday night. This
play was written so that a subject of
tremendous importance could be
handled in a manner that, while it
treats the subject in hand in a de
finite, rugged manner, is yet so con
structed as to receive unanimous ap
proval of every class.
Powerful, yet clean, absorbing, yet
subtle, it deals a terrific blow at our
great human frailty, the allowing our
daughters to grow up in utter ignor
ance of the world's pitfalls. Seats
on sale at Weyrich & Hadrba's.
Ben Eeckman was in today from).,
his home near Murray. Mr. Beck-
man has been visiting at Omaha for
the past week and just returned home'v.-s much harder 'to deal with than
Sunday and reports a splendid time
with his friends in that city.

PRISONERS

IAIL AT NEKRASKA
G!TY, SHOOT JAILER
From Frl'lay's Tiaily.
The three parties Ben Mallow, Jo
seph and Virginia Dudaley, who were
charged with having pulled off the
robbery of the Petering garage at
Nebraska City as well as the theft
of nr. automobile from Kansas City,
and who were arrested at Union two
v.-eks ago by Deputy Sheriff Roy
Fischer of Otoe county, seem to have
been real bad actors. The three pul
ed off a jail delivery last night at
Nebra-ka City where they were be
ing hold and made their escape after
. hooting and beating up the jailor, a :
n an named Swanson. The jailor was
making his rounds in the jail short
ly after 10 o'clock and on visiting the
po!ti:m of the jail where Mallow and
Dudaley were confined the two men
jumped on him and overpowered him,
taking away his gun and the keys to
the jail. They then proceeded to put
the jailor out of commission by shot
irg him through the arm and beating
him insensible. They then released
their female companion and unlocking
ihe main entrance to the jail made
g-od their escape and at last reports
were still at large. It had been
practically decided by the Otoe coun
ty authorities to allow the parties to
be taken back to Kansas City for
trial for the theft of the $3,500 au
to from that city and after their re
lease from service for that crime to
have them brought back to Nebraska
to face the robbery charge.
These parties when arrested at Un
ion were brought to this city by Depu
ty Sheriff Roy Fischer and kept here
until, it was possible to have them
taken to Nebraska City and from
their general aspect were not new
hands ai the game by any means.
A message was received in this
city this afternoon by Sheriff Quinton
from Sheriff Ed Fscher of Otoe coun
ty announcing the fact that the
. i . - i : . i ' l . 1 l : ....
ii.iree parties m:tKii:g iiie jan ueuei
had been captured between Nebraska
m the case was maue Dy ueputy i.oy
Fischer and thev will be brought back
to Nebraska City to be lodged in jail
until their hearing occurs which is
set for Monday.

A BUSY DAY WITH
JUDGE BEESON
Saturday was a banner day in the
office of County Judge Allen J. Beeson,
andJLhe genial judge was able to make
six hearts happy by uniting them in
the bonds of wedlock and this was
carried out in the usual pleasing man
ner by the court. Fred A. Lynch and
Marie E. Leman, both of Omaha
were joined as one by the judge and
departed for their home rejoicing.
Another couple to be united was John
W. Connally and Mollie Connally,
both of O'Neill, Nebraska, and who
for a great many years made their
home near Murray, and their friends
throughout the county will be pleased
to learn that they are to join their
lives as one in the future. The third
couple was Purl Wright and Miss
Luella Wardell, both of Chicago who
sought the seculsion of this city to
become united as man and wife. This
record is one that is very pleasing to
the marriage license clerk as March
has been a decided light month in the
marrying line and the break may
mark a rush of spring weddings that
will make up for the lethargy of the
last few weeks.
