SHOPLIFTER GETS CAUGHT
Frm Monday's Daily
Saturday afternoon while the H.
M. Soennichsen department store was
filled with a large number of custo
mers, a lady was detected making
awav with a number of articles that
she had purloined but which had
been detected by an alert clerk and
the matter reported. j
The store management called Chief t
of Police Arnold Johnson to the j
scene and the lady was found to have j
me anegeci scoien articles upuu nci
person and was taken into custody by
the chief of police, but later released
when the amount of the goods taken
was repaid and the store management
decided that they would not prose
cute the case in court.
This matter is one that is very
risky for the parties pulling them
off and that the lady involved got
out of it as easy as she did as a mat
ter that she can feel very thankful
for, not only for the punishment that
would have been meeted out but the
notoriety and publicity that would
have followed the prosecution of the
c ase in court.
The following of the practice of
taking articles from stores will even
tually lead to severe punishment and
the business men of the city who find
anyone stealing their goods will see
that the cases are vigorously prose
cuted in the future, so that anyone
who is carrying on this kind of work
will do well to "lay off" before they
get hailed into court and have the
humiliation of the matter being air
ed in the court and press.

for the past few weeks. While still
around Mr. Slavicek is very weak

of great difficulty.

Busy Time with
Traffic Sunday
From Monday's Daily
The Missouri river ferry that has
years by John Richardson and his
sons- Floyd and Claude, lias been a
ver' bu? PIace ln the last few da
and tnis important link in the travel
route between Iowa and Nebraska
has tad some Tel7 b das w'th, the
volume of travel going to and from
the different sides of the river.
. e ffrr' company has been busy
in me lasi etK veiling lue iiipn-
way in first class shape and at points
along the road the roadway is being
widened out and made much more
pleasant for travel and which, when
completed will make the ferry road
the best that it has been in years and
makes one of the most attractive
drives in this section of the state.
The company will do a great deal
more additional road work in a very
short time to get the road all the
way from this city to the ferry in
the very best of shape, and to travel
which will be a real pleasure.
During the last few weeks the ferry
has been operating on a twenty-four
hour schedule and giving the patrons
the very best of service and affording
a real accommodation to the travel
ing public that desires to cross the
river here and save time and distance
in travel that otherwise would be
necessary.
The ferry company feels that they
are giving the very best service that
any similar company in the state can
give and which affords a great con
venience to the traveling public and
the residents of the states of Iowa and
Nebraska that may desire to cross
over the river.
While the ferry lacks many of the
points of advantage of a bridge the
owners of the ferry are giving the
very best and fastest service possible
and their ferry saves many extra miles
to the travelers that avail themselves
of the use of the crossing here.

and which trains will care for a part
of the travel that each year goes to

There werp reports that the rail
road company had planned to cut off

few days was to the effect that the
Kansas City line trains were to bei
operated through this city but this
too seems to have been without foun

HOLDS MORTGAGE GOOD
Frnm Wednesday's Daily
The district court was busy on
Monday in hearing the case of lxuis
Keil, guardian of Kay Lambert, vs.
John L. Smith, et al. involving an
action to foreclose a mortage for the
sum of $1,000, claimed to be due Mr.
Lambert. The case was interesting
in the fact that the mortgage itself
had been lost in the years since it
was first given and the document
eould not be produced in court altho
the record of the same was given in
thf recording of the document. The
court held that as the defendants had
no evidence that the mortgage had
been paid that the evidence of the
existence of the mortgage v. as suffi
cient, and accordingly found for the
plaintiff in the action.

A Merchant's Story!
(Copyrighted)
Two girls working for me years ago
claimed they could save no money out of
their earnings. "Simply impossible, they
said.-
But, just in fun, one of them "dared"
the other to start savings accounts and
"run a race" saving money. They did.
As they saved they worked better and I
was able to raise their wages.
One of them got married three years
later. She had over $600 in the bank
very handy too, just then.
.The other girl is still working and
she has nearly $1,500 now. Compound
interest paid by the bank helps a lot, too.
Why not "dare" some friend to try
this with you?

Aged Lady Suf
fers Fractured
Limb as Struck
Mrs. Adam KaSenberger Suffers Sev
ere Injury Last Evening Near
Home on Elm Sstreet.
j From Weinesfir.y'j! Daily
Last evening while Mrs. Adam
1 Kaffe-nberger, one- of the well known
j residents of the northwest part of
;the city was crossing E!m street from
jher home to that of Mrs. C. M. Bev
erage', a neighbor, she was unfor
' tunate enough to be struck by a
passing auto and as the re-sult re
ceived severe bruises and a fractured
right leg.
As Mrs. Kaffenberger was cross
ing the street a Ford touring car
driven by Justus Lillie a young l.n!.
was approaching from the west and
at a very reasonable rate of sp, d
as the parties who witnessed the
accident state. As the driver of the
car saw Mrs. Kaffenberger he sound
ed the horn as warning and turned
his car out te.pass the lady but the
approaching car had evidently con
fused the lady and instead of con
tinuing on across the street toward
the Beverage home she started back
across the street and directly in
front of the car which was then but
a few feet away and making it im
possible for the driver to avoid hit
ting her.
The aged lady was thrown to the
brick paving by the force of the im
pact and as soon as possible the
driver of the cur stopped the vehi I"
and rushed back with the other oc
cupants of the car to give what aid
was possible to the injured lady.
Mrs. Kaffenberger was taken to her
home and medical assistance sum
moned and it was found that the
lady had sustained a very severe
fracture of the right log and as well
numerous and severe bruises. In
order that she might receive the ve ry
best of care she was hurried to Oma
ha and placed in the Immanuel hos
pital for care and treatment. Dr.
T. I. Livingston and W. F. Eve-rs
took the suffering lady to the hos
pital. Mrs. Kaffenberger lias been in
poor health for some time and her '
general condition makes the Injuries
a great deal more severe than 1hy
would be otherwise.
A FAISE REPORT
From Wednefda." Daily
It was stated today that reports
had been published in Omaha that
there was 150 nun wanted here for
work in the refrigerator repair t-hops
that are to be ptaced in operation
here on June 1st. This eecnis to be a
rather premature report and would
have been, as Mark Twain paid of
his reported death, "Important if
true," but for the present time there
is no truth in the report and the re
frigerator car company will hniulle
their own hiring of m n without the
need of the uo of the various c m
ployement agencies. When the time
is ripe for securing of additional men
the refrigerator company will, it is
stated secure these men from the
places where their plants arc located
or through their own efforts.
