IDA W. WAGNER its dangers and tribulations to trio of law enforcers who staged the chief entertainment feature of the meeting. i The full story of the daring ex ploit of the three sberifis is told in the following special from Alliance to the Omaha tee: Sheriffs Jim Miller of Alliance. Peter W. Duffy of Holt county, Fd Flit era ft of Red Willow county and a deputv snerin irom rortn piatie have been identified as the bandits who, wi-aring masks, and at the point of revolvers, held up and robbed the iinton jewelry .store at North Platte of $50 in cash and several hundred dollars worth of jewelry late Friday afternoon. The bandits were captured half an hour after the robbery by a posse of citizens led bv Sheriff Salisbury of North Platte, following a chase of cveral miles in automobiles, near the Codv ranch. At the point near which the capture took place, the oosse lound the nandits car anan doned in the road, with the taxi driver whom they had hired bound and gagr-ed in the front seat. The enino of the car bad stalled and the bandits bad juiiped from the cor and started to run across a mea dow on the Cody ranch. Realizing that they were outnumbered and with no escape but on foot, the four men stopped at a command to halt and threw their hands up. while the posse with drawn rifles and revolvers closed in and effected their capture. Bush Jewelry Store The four bandits, wearing red ban-: dar.a handkerchiefs over their faces, I literall rushed t lie Clinton jewelry, tore from front and rear and draw-, ing their revolvers, ordered the pro-j prietor. Jimmy Clinton, several! clerks and live customers to "put : 'em up." They did. One of the men, walked up to the show case, dumped all of the watches, rings and other j jewelry into a gunny sack, emptied, the ca'h register of about $500 in, cash and then started for the door, j The other three, their guns still j held on tl.e persons in the store,' started to back out while the man! with the sack threw it into their carl which was standing at the curb and: climbed aboard. The motor bad; been left running and with guns in j their hands, the three bandits made: a ctasn tor tne uoor, leapeu iuio uir car and made off at high speed. In a flash the car had disappeared from sight. Posse Gives Chase Sheriff Salisbury was notified. At the time, he and 75 other sheriffs who were attending the convention of the State Sheriffs' association were preparing to go out to the Cody ranch for a jubilee. They, to-n.-ther, with more than i0 armed cit izens, sprang into automobiles and cave d:a?? to the robbers. Trailing thorn in the direction of the Cody ranch, the pursuers came upon the bandits' abandoned car standing be side the road near the ranch. A few minutes later the bandits were cap tured in a meadow without resist ance, after 50 or more guns in the hands of the posse had been leveled upon them and they saw escape was impossible. From the desperate actions of the bandits, the sheriffs and citizens thought they had captured a gang of professional-robbers. Put when their captors tore the maks trom the bandits' faces, they discovered they had captured three well known Nebraska sheriffs and one deputy sheriff. Sheriff Explains It All The captors bad a strange feeling and were in the act of pinching themselves to see whether or not they were dreaming, when Sheriff Salisbury explained that it was adl a part of the program of the state con vention and had been conceived with premeditation and much forethiught. The four robbers who perpetrated the "robbery" concocted the fake holdup following an argument among the convention delegates as to the case with which a robbery could be staged. Most of them thought it wasn't an easy stunt, while the brave lour argued that a holdup was easy as pie. Without letting anyone except Sheriff Salisbury and two or three others know their plans, they con ceived and executed the "robbery" to prove their point. Neither the pro prietor of the jewelry store, his clerks, customers or members of the citizens' posse knew but what it was a genuine holdup until Sheriff Sal isbury explained. The officers admitted that they took a long chance of getting shot, but then what does an officer amount to who hasn't a lot of nerve? -Worthwhile Bargains-:?

Strike bal- jlots on the acceptance or rejection of the recent ?400,000,000 wa.ee re duction ordered by the railroad labor board were mailed tonight to the 409,000 members of the "big four" brotherhoods and the switchings union of Xorth America. The bal lots revealed a difference of opinion among the chief executives of the organizations, the brotherhood of locomotive engineers, brotherhood of locomotive firemen and engincmen, order of railroad conductors and the switchmen using a joint ballot, while the brotherhood of railroad trainmen !sent out a separate ballot. The trainmen's ballot stated that it had been the intention of all or ganizations to use a joint ballot, but that this was impossible because the .ballot adopted by the other organiza tions "Aid not, in our opinion, con tain an impartial and unbiased re cital of all involved, nor did it con vey the assurance that the wishes of the men, if against working for re duced wages, would determine the question, and they would be permit ted to leave the service." The joint ballot declared that if the membership was to reject the wage reductions, which became ef fective July 1, it is to be understood that the men will be permitted to withdraw from the service unless a sati; fact ory settlement e.-'n lie reach t 1 tinder the laws of the organiza t ion?." "The proposition which confronts our members and others," raid thf' trainmen's ballot, "carries with it an i' t tempt to reverse the decision of th railroad labor board on the wage r -ducUon now in effect since July 1. or else persuade or compel railroad companies to reinstitute wage ci't.i that the labor board decided should he reduced. "All members and others are here by notified that if the membership vote is in majority to leave the ser vice, they will on any or all line.--, where such vote is secured (with the sanction of the general grievance committee t be given necessary au thority l;y the piesiucnt of the grand Jjodr.e. The president of the grand lodge will not undertake to prevent the wishes of the ineU. as expressed in their ballot, from being adhered to." The number of the active members of the organization to whom 1 (al lots were mailed was estimated at 1 r0, 000 trainmen, 115.000 firemen. 0,j00 engineers. 50.000 conductors and 14.000 switchmen. In addition the wage reduction had been pre viously voted on by the six shop crafts under the railway employes' department of the American federa tion of labor. The result has been understood to be largely agafnst the acceptance of the reductions.
