Otis Keene has been working for
the greater part of the week with a
telephone building crew that came to
Union early in the week to rebuild
the plant here. He expects, how
ever, to depart for North Dakota in
a few days, where he will work in
the harvest fields for a time and will
later visit with his parents at West
boro, Ontario, Canada.
Fred Clark, Ira Clark," John IIo

their berries when it comes to fish

days since, where they cornered a '
fish, which they took, and it is even '
claimed by the two Mr. Clarks that 1
the capturing was done mostly by
John and Bob and when they had
brought the fish to Union and weigh- j
ed it, they found it weighed exactly
33 pounds. Not so bad.

E. Frye of Lincoln, Who Escaped
From Sheriff Ryder of Otoe
County Seeks Aid.
Last evening when Henry Rice,
farmer of near Murray, was moving
his theshing outfit along the road
east of the Hobscheidt farm south of
Murray, he was stopped by a young
man, hatless, coatless and bare foot
ed and bearing on his wrists a pair
of handcuffs. The man asked Mr.
Rice to help get the cuffs off of him
and complained very much of his
wrists that were swollen and inflam
ed by the handcuffs. !
Mr. Rice declined to remove the
cuffs and the man then continued
on his way, going into a nearby
cornfield. I
When Mr. Rice arrived home
sometime later he called the office of
Sheriff Bert Reed and reported the
matter and where it was learned
that the man was probably F. Frye
of Lincoln who had escaped Mon-;
day night from the custody of Sher-'
iff Carl Ryder of Otoe county. !
Deputy Sheriff Young and Sam
Reed drove to the locality where the
man was last seen and made a thor
ough search for the man all over
that section of the country well into
the night, but without seeing the
man any more.
The man was captured Monday
night as a point some ten miles
southwest of Nebraska City and was
loaded into the car of Sheriff Ryder
and started for Nebraska City. j
As the sheriff's car, proceeded to
ward Nebraska City and . the Otoe
county jail, the burglar tried to en
gage the sheriff in conversation. He
talked queer, "Kill me, will you?",
he asked the sheriff.
The burglar was handcuffed and
the cuffs were getting tighter. He
seemed to be a secure prisoner.
Falls Out of Car.
Suddenly the queer-talking man
made a bold bid for liberty. He
pushed the front door of the sheriff's
car open and threw himself toward
the side of the . road. The sudden
move surprised the sheriff but did
not catch him unprepared, 1
Catching the man by the seat of
the trousers with one hand Sheriff
Ryder held him firmly but the auto
mobile headed ominously for a ditch.;
Unable to held :the prisoner and i
drive the car at the same time thj
sheriff was forced to release his hold.'
The burglar tumbled to the road,!
arose and disappeared in high weeds
which bordered the road. i
The sheriff jumped from his car
which continued down the road for a'
short distance and ran into an em
bankment.
Depuy Sheriff McCallum who 1
was driving the burglar's small tour
ing car ahead of the sheriff turn-'
ed and saw the sheriff jump from
his car. McCallum stopped and join
ed Sheriff Ryder in the search for
the escaped man, but owing to in
creasing dusk no sign of him could
be found. j
Robbed a House. i
It was 7 o'c.'ock Monday evening
when report came to the sheriff's,
office that the farm home of Carl'
Wurtele, several miles northwest of,
the city, had been burglarized. A
gold watch and two rings had been j
stolen while a daughter, alone at i
the place, was after cows in the pas-!
ture. j
According to the story of the,
daughter, she heard the intruder atj
the farm honk hi3 auto horn. She
saw him enter the house. Before she
could get back to the house, the rob
ber had emerged and driven away.
Investigation showed the jewelry
was missing and the sheriff was call
ed. Traced by Tires.
Tread of the tires on the small
touring car used by the burglar en
abled -Sheriff Ryder and Deputy
Sheriff McCallum to trace the man.
He was tracked to a point 15 miles
northwest of Nebraska City. Finally,
a man in a. touring car approached
the officers on a narrow road. He
was stopped for investigation.
The suspected man stood up in
his car wheu officers approached. He
dropped a watch and two rings to
the floor of the auto and placed his
foot over them. Deputy McCallum
forced him from the spot and the
stolen articles greeted his view.

TTTI TT
H
ORB
FOR nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor industry
and it still is used by more people than any other automobile.
More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service today
an indication of their sturdy worth, reliability and economy.
The cost of reconditioning the Model T Ford is small because of
the low cost of Ford parts and the established -Ford policy of
charging all labor at a standard flat rate.
For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and
transmission completely overhauled. This price includes new
bearings, reboring cylinders and any other work necessary. Parts
are extra.
Valves can be ground and carbon removed for $3 to $4. The
cost of tightening all main bearings is only $6. The labor charge
for overhauling the front axle is $4.50 to $5 rear axle assembly,
$5.75 to $y.
New universal joint will be installed for a labor charge of $3.
Brake shoes relined for $1.50. Rear spring and perches rebushed
for '$1.75. The cost of overhauling the starting motor is $3. A
labor charge of approximately $2.50 covers the overhauling of the
generator.
Repainting runs from $10 to $25. Taking dents out of body
panels and doors runs from $3 to $16 for labor. A fender can be
replaced for a labor charge of $1 to $2.50. The cost of fenders
runs from $3.50 to $5.
It will pay you, therefore, to see your Ford dealer and have him
put your Model T in good running order. By doing so you will
protect and maintain the investment you have in your car and get
months and years of pleasant, reliable transportation at a very low
cost per mile.

"Personally I am for prohibition
and I think the eighteenth amend

prohibition is no more an issue in
this campaign than it was in 190 8.
It merely is a smoke screen being
raised by the republican party tc

last eight years."
The assembly named Governor
