The American Legion Auxiliary

SPEEDER GETS NAB
BED AT NEBR. CITY
Negro Driving a Large Auto Gets
Away from This City but is
Caught in Otoe County.
From Thursday's Daily.
A few 'days ago a negro driving a
lrge Cadillac car passed through
this city and from the statement of
the officers he was surely going some
and leaving a trail of smoke only to
indicate his passage. Sheriff Quin
ton had met the man at the inter
section of Chicago avenue andPearl
street and called to him to halt, but
the dusky hued party only stepped
on the gas and continued his journey
southward, in order to teach the
reckless driver a good lesson, the au
thorities at Nebraska City were call
ed up and warned of the coming of
the speed fiend. Yesterday after
noon County Attorney A. G. Cole was
called up and informed that the ne
gro had gotten himself entangled in
the meshes of the Nebraska City or
dinances and had received a fine of
$25 and costs. Mr. Cole requested
the Nebraska City authorities to hold
the man or accept a $25 bond for his
ttrpearnnce here on the charge ofi
peeding, which tbey did. The negro
docketed ns "John Doe" and from
" i- a:tions is living up the part of
' i notorious character.
He has been engaged in hauling
strike breakers in Omaha and Ne
braska City and evidently believes
th-'t this fact entitles him to drive
at a rate of speed that endangers the
lives of men, women and children.

PRESTON ACOUITTED
IN SUPREME COURT
Opinion Handed Down Says Lack of
Evidence to Convict Kim Case
Drew Wide Attention.
Elmont Preston, Buffalo county
farmer, his a firm friend in the su
preme court. A little while ago that
tribunal overturned a conviction in
Otoe county on the charge of having
deserted his wife and child, the court
holding that the evidence showed
fbt hi I wife had left him after he
had refused to approve the purchase
cf an exposive rug. Wednesday it
raid the evidence upon which he waj
convicted of the charge of adultery
in Buffalo county w.13 insufficient,
and practically ordered his discharge.
Mrs. Preston was the avenging
nemesis in each case. The last
charge was that he had been guilty
of adulterous relations with Mnrgery
Hay., an eighteen year old girl. A
jury said he was. but the court, with
Chief Justice Morrissey dissenting,
rays this conviction was on suspicion
and prejudice. The girl had a child,
but the court says the charge in this
case does not cover responsibility for
that, and that mere disposition and
opportunity to commit a crime are
not alone sufficient to Justify a con
viction. There must be circumstances
inconsistent with any other reason
able hypothesis. There was evidence
to show that the girl had accompan
ied him on a long trip to Chase coun
ty by automobile.

STRIKE OCCURS IH
CITY LAST EVENING
Matters Adjusted in Short Time How-
ever and Pinochle Players Re
turn to Their Pastime.
From Frldav's la;iv
Last evening a rei "walkout" oc
curred in this city find while the
greater part of the inhabitants were
unaware of the fact that a strike was
on. it existed for some little time in
one of the soft drink parlors where
the customers are accustomed to
gather each evening to enjoy a so
cial game of pinochle or other card
pastime.
The proprietor of the place, who
is numbered among our most genial
citizens, was unaware cf the strike
that was pending and was engaged
in quafiing a glass of the famous or
ange juice, when at th? stroke of
seven o'clock last evening all of the
players at the various tables laid
down their cards and salently walked
out of the place, leaving it silent and
empty where once the cries of "forty
pinochle." "fifteen hundred trump"
and similar phrases were to be heard.
The proprietor was dumbfounded for
a few moments? at the sudden depar
ture of his friends, but suspected
tnat there was some joke attached
to the leaving of the "gang." Pres
ently one of the party, noted for his.
-leucine and long experience in
matters diplomatic, appeared on the
srere and laid down the terms that
the striking players had prepared.
The armistice terms however were
rot as severe as those Marshal Foch
handed to Kaiser Bill, and Consisted
in the demand that there be new
decks of cards and fresh chalk fur
nished each ten days in the future
and after some discussion the matter
was settled and the treaty of peace
signed by Mr. Donat on .the one hand
r-nd Louis Leiner, representing the
striking players. The pen with which
the trc-r.ty was signed, was present
ed to the Journal reporter as a me
mento cf the event.
FIRE FIEMB BUSY
ON GKR1STMAS EVE
State Fire Marshal Describes Hor
ror of Holiday Accidents
Issues a Warning.
State Fire Marshal E. C. Hartford
draws tl.i picture of the fire fiend's i
interruption of a merry Christmas.
"Picture the family reunion gath
ered around the annual Christmis j
tree children, grandchildren, nieces
nephews, cousins and all the tree
v.i'h its many decorations, its light
ing effects, its imitation snow, tin- i
rel. the presents for all and Santa
Clans with his white locks and flow
ing beard when suddenly a flash,
nd the fiend fire appears. Some-,
one has been careless and the acci
dent occurs. Sorne little fellow hope-'
l?a:sly scarred for life or maybe the
loir, of life. The happy scene is
changed without warning to one of
sorrow, misery ar.d despair. There
", a Christmas, the horror of which
iz fcrever burned .into the memory
end hearts of those who but a short
Vfme before were so gay and carefree.
A family reunion that will never be
forgotten. But always the darkness
r.f death or accident in the ascen
dant. The family with a home gone,
a loved one burned, that scene that
began so happily, changed in a
moment to one of horror and dis
tress. "Too often the Christmas season,
which should be an 'occasion of un
mixed cheer, becomes a time of trag
edy in many households because of
death or serious injury by fire. The
inflammable evergreen trees and dec
orations, or the cotton beard of a
thinly disguised Santa Claus fre
quent ignites from a lighted candle
or match and serious results ensue.
"In the first place the tree should
be set up securely so that it will rot
easily topple over, and it should be
located several feet awny from any
heating or lighting fixture. Metal
tinsel with flake asbestos and pow
dered mica make excellent materials
for snow effects and will not burn.
Cotton and paper on the other hand
re highly dangerous. The tree
should never be illuminated with
candles. There is some danger from
the widely sold electric light assem
blies due to insufficient insulation
and other causes, but the hazard is
"mall in comparison to that of the
lighted candle.
"Thi department requests that all
reople thmout the state of Nebras
ka bear thee facts in mind in pre
paring their yuletide festivities. To
that end we extend heartiest greet
ings and -good cheer to all thruout
the state, praying that not a single
calamity of the kind pictured above
may be the part of any resident of
this great state. To that extent we
ask your co-operation."

DEEDS OF GOOD MARK
WORK OF BOYS' ORDER
Lightening of Burden of Unfortun
ate is Noted on Pail of De
Molay Chapter Here.
from FrlJay Oally.
Giving aid to those who have felt
the bitter pinch of want and the
chill and suffering that winter
brings is one of the most commend
able cf acts and one that marks the
real prompting of the love of the un
fortunates of the world.
A few days ago a Journal repre
sentative was In one of the coal of
fices of the city conversing, when a
representative of the local chapter
of the Order of De Molay entered
and placed an order for two tons of
coal to go to the homes of two of
the families of the city that were in
want and who were without the
means of protecting themselves from
the cold winter. ,
This is showing the real spirit of
the good Samaritan, who bound up
the wounds of his suffering brother
and the young men who are carry
ing on this work are to be commend
ed for their generous and thoughtful
action. Their acts of this nature are
numerous and done quietly and in
this one case the fact fell under the
eye of the press and while they do
rot approve of this manner of pub
licity still one cannot but feel that
they are dserving of a more clearer
understanding of their work by the
public and that they are laboring
in the great cause of humanity.
MAKING REPATRS ON BRIDGE
From Friday' Daily.
The Platte river and wagon bridge
is receiving a thorough overhauling
and repairing, the work starting at
once and when completed the bridge
will have a new flooring as well as a
great deal of work on the piling of
the structure. Mr. T. II. Pollock,
owner of the bridge is personally su
pervising the work and will see that
the bridge is placed in first clasa
shape as faras it is possible to do.
The low stage of the water in the
river at this time has made it possi
"ble tod(T some much needed work
on the piling that was not possible
during the summer and this, with
the work on the structure will place
the bridge in the best of shape. This
bridge is one of the most important
on the highway systems of eastern
'Nebraska as it is a connecting lin?
between Omaha and Kansas City anc"
the southwest and during the sum
mer months thousands of autos pasi
over. it.
