A COMMENDABLE JOB
From Friday's rally
This morning, bright and early,
Jess Elliott, the efficient street com
missioner, and his force of workmen
were out and started in on the task
of washing the paved streets and re
moving the accumulation of dirt and
dust that had gathered there in the
past week since the rain. The street
force made a good Job of it and
worked through the entire paved sec
tion by noon and it certainly added
a whole lot to the comfort and pleas
ure of those who reside or have bus
iness on Main street and the adjoin
ing business section. Mr. Elliott has
a great deal of work always staring
him and his men In the face but he
manages to get around and cover as
much as possible although the orders
for street work that are piled up af
ter each council meeting would take
a force twice as large as the present
one.

DETECTIVE CLAIM
ING REWARD IN
BIG MURDER CASE
James Buel "Well Known Omaha
Operative to Ask for $1,200
Offered in Ballister Case.
From Thursday's Dually
James Buel, the: head of the Buel
National detective tagencj- of Omaha,
was here 3-esterday for a few hours
and stated while j Lore that he is
engaged in an action in the district
court of Seward count- in which
he is seeking to collect the reward
of $1,200 which was offered ior the
arrest of the murderer of Ed Ballis
ter, last March.
The case has grown out of the
claim of the marshal of LJtica to a
part of the reward in apprehending
Louis Ballister, a brother of the mur
dered man, and who was later con
victed of the crime.
The crime occurred at the Ballis
ter place near Utica on March 1,
1924, at that time the murder was
veiled in mystery as the body of Ed
Ballister was found in the garage
at hi3 home and the idenity of the
person Hhoot'ng hi:a. was not dis
covered until several da3s later.
As the funeral party retured home
from the cemetery after Ed Ballister
had been laid away Mr. Buel with
several newspaper men were at the
Ballister home and as Loui3 Balli3ter,
the brother stepped from an auto he
had handcuffs snapped on b- Mr.
Buel and was arrested for the mur
der. The footprints near the scene
of the crime led to the arrest. Mr.
Buel states, as the3 tallied with those
of Loui Ballister. The Omaha detec
tive was two days on the case before
he lined up the facts that resulted
in the arrest of the brother.
The case was tried in the Seward
count v district court and the brother
1 convicted and sentenced to life im
prisonment in the state penitentiary
and is now serving out his sentence
Mr Duel ptates lhat Louls Bamster
