MURRAY BUSI
NESS HOUSE IS
BURGLARIZED
STORE OF PULS & GANSMER IS
VISITED LAST NIGHT NO
CLUES UNRAVELED.
DRY GOODS WERE RANSACKED
Overalls and Shirts to the Value of
$300 Being Picked Oat and
Taken by Burglars.
Prom Monday's Dally.
Our neighboring town of Murray
was visited some time last night by
burglars anil as a result of the raid,
the robbers secured a stock of over
alls and shirts that totaled close to
$300 in value
The robbery occurred at the store j
of Puis & Gansemer and was dis
covered this morning when A. L.
Baker, employed in the store, arriv
ed to open the place up for business.
The robbers had evidently made well
arranged plans for the robbery as the
rear door of the store was unlocked
and the stock of goods thoroughly
overhauled and the shirts and over
als taken.
Mr. Gansemer one of the mem
bers of the firm, stated today that as
far as could be judged by a hasty
examination of the stock that had
been gutted by the burglars, the loss
would reach in the neighborhood of
1 300.
As soon as the robbery was dis
covered Sheriff Quinton was notified
and hurried to the scene of the rob
bery, but the night visitors had left
no clue of their identity. The com
pleteness of the job indicates that
it was evidently the work of a well
organized gang operating with autos
to remove the stock of goods.
This is the second tinje this store
has been burglarized, having suffer
ed a similar visit a year ago, al
though at that time the robbers did
not secure as good a haul as they
did on this visit.

May Have Some Connection I
With Store Robbery.
I
From Tuesday's Dally. ,
While at Murray vesterdav inves-
tisratine the looting of the store of
Puis & Gansmer. Sheriff Quinton dis-J
covered that someone had abandoned ;
a Ford car in the rear of the Murray! According to the state compulsory
hotel and the ownership of the car , law. children under sixteen years of
could not be ascertained. The car age must attend school for the full
had evidently been left there some- period of the school term. Pupils
time Sundav evening as there were Sunder sixteen years of age, who have
no reports of the car having been
seen there during the day. The car
had an Iowa license number that is
being looked upon in the hopes that
it may shed some light on the rob
bery. The manner in which the robbers
entered the store is very puzzling as
the store has a good, modern lock
and one that is extremely hard to
pick or force open and from indica
tion it would seem that in some man
ner a key had been secured that
worked on the lock, as it bears no
trace of any forcing or picking. The
owners and employes of the stores
are practically sure that the rear
doer was locked all day Sunday.
From the fact of the finding of
the abandoned car at Murray it
would seem that there were a num
ber of persons Interested in the Uurg
lary, as theparties undoubtedly made
their getaway by automobile, for the
loot secured was too extensive to be
carried away by individuals with out
some car or truck to haul the goods.
GOOD CROWDS POOR GAMES
From Tuesday's Daily.
With the baseball season drawing
to a close it is remarkable what
close contests have developed in the
two major leagues and our own West
ern league. New leaders appear at
the head of the National and Ameri
can per centage columns nearly ev
ery day. Of the probable winners
Cleveland has been hardest hit, due
principally to the accidental death
of Roy Chapman, shortstop.
In the Western league the contest
is largely between Wichita and Tulsa
with Omaha third in line, although
considerably behind the leaders. De
spite the fact that Omaha is one of
the best paying baseball towns in
tion, but as yet no one has been
found willing to take quite tne
chance this would entail. But, thanks
be, Rourke has done better this year.
Last year his "Sterlings" finished in
the cellar and with good luck these
remaining three weeks they 'will be
able to hold a place somewhere in
the first division.
OPERATED ON IN OMAHA
Front Tuesday's Dally.
This morning Sheriff C. D. Quinton
departed for Omaha, where he will
visit his sister, Mrs. J. M. Dunbar,
of Avoca. at the St. Joseph hospital.
where she is to be operated on this
morning by Dr. Dermody. Mrs. Dun

RAILROADS TO RESIST
TWO CENTFARE LAW
Seven Carriers of State Secure a Re
straining Order Against Nebr.
Railway Commission.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The seven railroads operating in
Nebraska, consisting of the Union
Pacific. Burlington. Chicago & North
Western. Chicago, St. Paul, Minnea
polis and Omaha. St. Joseph & Grand
Island. Missouri Pacific and Rock Is
land, have filed bonds in the office
of the clerk of the United States dis
trict court fcr Nebraska, to cover
the costs of the temporary restrain
ing order asked by these railroad
lines against the state railroad com
mission of Nebraska.
The state commission has held that
on the return of the railroads to pri
vate ownership on the 1st of Sep-
emher the increased rates made dur-
ng the time of federal control cease
and that the status of the fares is
covered bv the state law passed in
907 and which made two cents the
legal fare to be charged in the state
of Nebraska. The railroads in their
restraining order ask that the state
be prevented from enforcing the law
and that the fares remain as they
are at present.
The case is to be heard at Omaha
on Mondav in the district court be
fore three federal judges and upon
their decision rests whether or not
he state law will govern.
This matter is one of great inter
est to everyone In the 6tate as it
would "result in" a considerable less
ening of the fare on the various lines
over the state if the old law is al-
owed to govern. A great deal of
city and Omaha and in this case the
ravel is made each day between this
ity and Omaha and in this case the
saving will be considerable to tne
passengers as the rate at present is
6S cents, whereas under the state law
would be but 3 8 cents.

OF 9 TO 8
CONNORS PITCHES GOOD GAME
Visitors Gather But Few Hits But
Errors Gave Visitors Lead That
They Held for Several Innings
From Monday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon the base ball
fans were treated to a long and
drawn out battle oa the local dia
mond when the Red Sox and the
Springfield team mixed in a very
ragged exhibition cf the national
postime and which resulted in a win
for the locals by the score of 9 to 8.
The game was very much in favor
of the visitors in the opening portion
as they acquired a lead cf six to 1
when the Sox began to rap Gottsch
quite freely and secured in the fifth
and sixth innings tallies enough to
tie the score.
For the locals Christie enjoyed a
good day as his hitting was very
heavy, he securing a safe poke at al
most everj' time to bat and adding
to the scoring of his team mates.
George Washington Fenwick, who
played the left garden in the absence
of Mason, who was on the sick list,
robbed the visitors of several long
and hard drives and also made sev
eral hits during his performance at
bat. Connors pitched a much betttr
game than the score indicates and
had the visitors guessing most of the
time.
For Springfield Gottsch proved to
be out of his usual form as the ef
forts of a hard game on Thursday,
was noticeable in his delivery and he
retired from the game in the sixth
nning. being succeeded by Beno,
who gave the Sox several scores
hrough his wlldness and inability to
over the plate.
The Sox registered in the third
nning when Herold hit to center and
was advanced when Christie hit to
he same territory and when O'Don-
nell hit to second and his hit was
uggled, Peter was ahle to register.
In the fifth round of the battle the
Sox renewed their offensive and ad
ded three to their growing list of
scores and threw a scare into the
visitors. Connors opened the inning
with a safe poke to left and was fol-
owed by Herold who was hit by
Gottsch and Meisinger made a
safetv to first. Christie hit to short
and Connors came over with a score.
Meisinger scored when O'Donnell hit
o right and the ball was fumbled by
he visitors, and William Patrick
came Home on a wna neae or
Gottsch. Kddie Gradoville finished
up the activities of the inning by a
wo begger to left.
The sixth saw the entrance of
Beno into the game and his wildness
gave the locals the hopes that vic-
orv would be theirs. Grassnian.
Wolff and Connors were all passed
o first and with the bases full Her
old hit to second and Grassman reg-
stered. Christie made a safety to
left that scored Wolff making two
for thsi frame. Connors was out at
home.
The visitors in the seventh added
another one to the score and once
more assumed the lead but this was
soon overcome in the same inning by
locals who made a one run lead hy
annexing two runs. Gradoville was
hit by one of the slants of the Spring
field hurler and later was caught at
first. Fenwick was safe at first and
Grassnian was put out on a grounder
to second. Wolff had his wrist
slapped by one of the wild heaves of
Beno and Connors, who followed hit
to left tallying Fenwick and on Her-
old's hit to center Wolff registered
The eighth again saw the score
tied up as Springfield secured two
runs as the result of a walk an error
a single and the two bagger of Adair
the right fielder of the visitors.
The battle continued through tne
ninth and tenth innings and it was
not until the last of the 11th that
the locals poked out the winning
run. Two of the Sox had retired
when O'Donnel placed a short ground
er in front of the plate and secured
first on it through the poor throw of
the visitor's catcher. Gradoville
proceeded to cinch the game with a
rip to the left garden mat Drougnt
in O'Donnell.
There were a large number of vis
itors present from Springfield and
thpv comnrised almost half of
the number present at the park for
the game.
RETURNS FROM THE EAST
From Monday's Dally.
James Kuykendall. manager of tb
local office of the Nebraska Gas &
Electric company of this city, return
ed home this morning from a ten
day visit in the east, having been
at Philadelphia, Chicago and St.
Louis while away. Mr. Kuykendall
found that the power and lighting
companies over the east were all fac
ing the rapidly augmenting cost of
operation with the prices of all ma
terial used going up almost every
day. The eastern companies have an
even greater cost to face than the
smaller companies in the west as
their investments in plants and
equipment is much heavier. In al
most all the cities visited Mr. Kuy-
I kendall found that the companies
were finding: it necessary to ask in-
I creased rates and in many cases these
wore totally inadequate to the cost
of operating the plants and unless
relief was secured in the lowering
of the cost of coal and other fuel
stocks used by the companies that
many would be practically forced to
greatly curtail their plants.

FORD CAR DRIVEN BY JACK PAR
MELE GOES INTO DITCH NORTH
OF THE MASONIC HOME
CAR SUSTAINS SOME DAMAGE
Fortunately No One is Injured in Ac
cident That Could Easily Have
Ilesulted Very Serious for All
From Tuesday's Dally.
The peril of the bright and blind
ing lights on the autos have often
been pointed ou tby drivers of cars
as well as the press and public and
the danger is fast increasing as the
number of drivers of cars dash over
the roads with their lights on at full
power and "without regard of the
drivers of other machines that might
be driving on the same road.
Last night as a Ford driven hi
jack Parmele was coming in on the
road north of the Masonic home, a
car going north came along and with
very bright lights that prevented
Jack from clearly seeing the road and
as he turned out as best he could to
avoid the oncoming tar. the Ford
went into a ditch some two feet deep
;at the edge of the roadway which at
this point is none too wide at the
best and as the result the Ford which
belonged to John Wolff, was quite
. . . . , , u ... , . ,..
little outlay to repair.
This ditch is located on the main
road between Omaha and the south
and certainly should be fixed up
fore some serious accident occurs that
will result in some one getting badly
injured and with this the law in re
gard to the excessive bright lights
should be enforced if the parties own
ing the. cars cannot take any eteps
to protect others who may be travel
ing the road. The average auto own
er shows a regard for the rules of
the road by dimming their lights
when approaching another car or
have the cars equipped with special
devices that prevent the lights from
shining in the eyes of the driver of
another mcahine.
The accident last evening was for
tunate in that no one was injured
and in a warning of the danjrer that
lirka out on the highway when the
blinding lights are in use.

Krfctn Tuesday's Dally.
Yesterday, while Lucille, the little
three-year-old daughter of Mr. ami
Mrs. Leonard Jay was engaged in
playing at her home with a dog be
longing to one of the neighbors, shn
was unfortunate enough to be bit
ten by the animal, although not ser-iouslj-.
The dog has not been show
ing any signs of crossness and while
plaving with the child had evidently
pushed her over and inflicted severe
lacerations from its teeth on the lit
tle one. The child was taken to the
office of a surgeon where the wounds
were dressed and the little one made
as comfortable as possible.
The dog has shown no symptoms
of the rabbles and it is thought that
the child will suffer no ill effects
from the injuries received from the
animal.
