FORD COUPE STOLEN
NEAR HIGH SCHOOL
DURING BALL GAME
Jean Spanker. While Attending the
Basketball Game Has His Car
Taken Found This Horning:.
From Friday's Iu.ily
Last evening while Jean Spangler,
one cf the young men residing just
south of this city, anil attending the
local high school, was attending the
basketball game, he had the hard
luck to have his automobile stolen.
Mr. Spangler had parked his car, a
1023 Ford coupe directly iu front of
the high school building a few min
utes before S o'clock, joining the
other high school students in the
rooting for their team and when he
eurae out about an hour later at the
close of the game he was startled to
find that the car was missing.
A search was made in the vicinity
of the school building, as at first it
was thought to he a joke on the
part of some of the school friends,
hut as the search failed to reveal
the car it was decided that it was
the bitter truth that someone had
made away with the machine.
Mr. Spangler at once notified the
night police and a search was made
of the city for the car out it was
fruitless. Telephone messages were
st-nt out by fcheriff Stewart in an
cL'ort to apprehend the party or
parties taking the car, without
success.
This morning the car was found
parked near Washington park where
it had been abandoned and with two
tires stolen from the cr.r, there was
nothing else taken from the car as
far as could be ascertained and while
there will be a small loss, the owner
is very giad to have the car back,
even with having to buy ::ew tires.

WIFE MAKES COURT
FLEA; WANTS HUS
BAND'S FREEDOM
Never Sent to Jail Under Sentence,
Bat She Says It Was Far.lt of
the Officers of the Law.
From Thursday's f'ai'v
Mrs. Mary C. Ri?gs filed with the
supreme court Wednesday a written
argument in support cf her petition
that a writ of habeas corpus i.-si:e to
Sheriff Sutton of Antelope county
ordering him to release from custody
her husband, who is. as she claims,
being illegally detained.
Rig
lP2:i. on
.as tried
charge of
in December,
selling inijxi-
eating Ihj'ior. Cn a elay in the fol
lowing February his motion for a
new trial was overruled and he w is
sentenced to s.. rve sixty days in
jail and to pay costs. The court entry
contained the usual statement that
the defendant having given notice of
his intention to appeal to the su
preme court he was allowed f erty
days in which to get out his bill cf
exceptions.
Mrs. Riggs said that as a matter
of fact her husband give no such
notice and never elid intend to ap
peal. It appears from the record
that because of illness in the- fam
ily and the necessary harvesting of
his crops for which no outside labor
was available, no effort was made
to put him in jail to serve out his
sentence until six months later. Then
his lawyer came into court and
sought to get him out on the plea
that ett he hr. d -never sppe'd tn tfe
supreme court, there never had been
any stay and that as a prisoner's
sentence begins to run the day sen
tence is pronounced, the sixty days
for which he was sentenced ha.i
long past expired. Hense Le is en
titled to his freedom.
The lower court refused to ac
cept this theory, and now it is to
be presented to the supreme court.
This theory is that a sentence starts
to run when given and not from
the date of the delivery of the pris
oner's person to his appointed keep
er. The fact that Risrgs. thru the
leniency of the authorities, was
not
not
put in
3a.il. it is contended, does
alter the legal rights of the man.

In ibis city there is also much 8n

THE END CF ALL DESIRE
I am tired of tears and laughter,
And men that laugh and weep;
Of what may come hereafter,

I am weary of days ana nours.
Blown buds of barren flowers,
Desires and dreams and powers,
And everything hut sleep.
We are not sure of sorrow.
And joy was- never sure;
Today will die tomorrow
Time stoops to no man's lure.
And love grown faint and fretful,
With lips but half regretful.
Sighs and with eye3 forgetful,
Weeps that no loves endure.
For too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free.
We thank with brief thanksgiving,
Whatever Gods may be
That no life lives forever,
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere to the sea.

Preposition cf Grading- and. Graveling-

K of T to be Voted On
From TliuisceyS- I.U'y
Lart evenine the city council was
largely o.- upied with the considera
tion cf. matters 1 el alive to the im
provements cf the cording year and
in the forefront of these was the pe
tition signed by 57 frce-hoiders ask
ing that the matter of the issuance
o' SIO.K'O in bonds for the grading,
graveling and oneuir.g of the road to
the cemetery as well as thr.t of grav
eling the K of T ruad irom Chicago
avenue to the city limits and the
Louisville road Lorn the paving to
the tity limits be placed on the fc al
lot at the city election. This was ac
c;;ted ar.d the resolution adopted
which will authorize the clerk to
place these propositions on the bal
lot as rcC;ise.tcd.
A petition from seventy-nine free
held 'ts wa- also received asking that
Lincoln avemie be graded and grav
eled to the junction with the K of
T highway at the south bound ry cf
the city and this was placed in the
hands of the streets, alleys and
bridges committee for action at the
next .section of the council.
A petition was received from A. G.
I.'.ach asking .permission to install a
gasoline pump at Ins South Park
store and which was referred to the
streets, alleys and bridges committee
for action.
1L Nehrachi. Masotii? Horn ? cvsc
ciation requested that the city vacate
that portion of Timber street from
Webster boulevard to Twelfth strert,
which is not extensively traveled
and where it will be necessary to
place a bridge for use. Councilman
Bctor moved that the request be
granted, but Councilman Me-Maken
objected to the closing of the street
which he stated was the main road
to get onto the highway from the
east, and amended the motion that
the matter be referred to the streets,
alleys and bridges committee for in
vestigation, and which was adopted.
A petition was received from seven
residents of Ninth street asking that
there bo no paving done on that
treet this year owing to the inabil
ity ci1 the property owners to finance
the same and that the amount of
travel there did not demand the im
provement. This was plac ed on hie.
Eight residents of Elm street from
Washington avenue to Ninth street
o requested that there be no pav
ing district created there this year,
alleging that the financial condition
of the residents there did not war
rant the work being carried out at
this time.
The judiciary committee through
Chairman McMaken reported that in
regard to the proposition of Walter
Prorst to pay the cost ot s.dewalk
construction along a fractional lot on
Chicago avenue, provided the city
ive him title to same, be accepted
unci tins was oroereu 111 a resoiutiuii
and Mayor Sattkr authorized to make
deed for same.
Chairman Bestor of the streets, al
leys and bridges committee reported
favorably on the petitions of John B.
Livingston and W. T. Craig for the
installing of gas filling tank3 adjoin
ing their places of business on South
4th street, providing they comply
with the state law and city fire regu
lations and the construction of the
tanks was duly approved.
In regard to the matter of the
viaduct over the Burlington tracks
on Granite street, Mr. Bestor re
quested further time, as the Burling
ton engineer would soon be here to
take the matter up with the com
mittee and discuss it.
More time was also granted the
streets, alleys and bridges commit
tee on the proposed paving districts.
A resolution was offered and pass
ed requesting the city treasurer to
prepare and submit each mouth with
his report the amount of city funds
tin each of the city depositories,
j The council also adopted an ordi
nance providing that the city clerk
jbe granted the sum of 10 per month
j for office rent in the business dis
trict of the city. On motion the rules
j were suspended and this ordinance
'placed on its second and third read
ling by its title for final passage and
unanimously passed. This will give
the clerk a more fair remuneration,
as this is one of the city offices that
requires a great deal of time and
constant attention.
Councilman McMaken called the
attention of the council to the fact
that nine sections of the sidewalk
on Washington avenue were sinking
and that the streets,- alleys and
bridges committee investigate the
same, which was so ordered.

Mrs. Ida Tritsch. of near this city,
has had her case passed upon by

that an abcess formed near the up
