SAFETY CAMPAIGN OPENS
HANDCUFFED MAN AT LARGE
Omaha, July 31. "Save a life" is
the slogan for Nebraska motorists
until Aug. 25, during the statewide
"save a life" campaign which opens
officially tomorrow. Omaha will j
open the campaign today with a j
"safety march," led by a squadron i
of motorcycle police and the Seven-
teenth Infantry band. In line will
bt trucks of many manufacturers j
and business houses and floats. Fire
companies will assist in the demon
stration. There will be several
wrecked automobiles in the parade,
as a silent sermon to drivers.
Nebraska is the tenth state to
sponsor a save a life campaign. Next
month New Jersey will conduct a
similar drive for accident preven
tion. More than six hundred official
service stations already have been
designated in Nebraska and before
the campaign ends there will be a
total of 1,500 such stations, accord
ing to officers of the campaign.
Inspection of safety factors is
made without charge.' If no defects
are found, official windshield stick
ers are issued the owner of the car.
If the inspection reveals defects, ad
justments will be made at the usual
charge for such service, bv the station.
From Thursday s tally
The man claimed to be E. Frye of
Lincoln, charged with committing
robbery in Otoe county, is still at
large according to the last reports
received here at the Office of Sheriff
Bert Reed. The man was reported
to have been seen yesterday after
noon in the vicinity of Nehawak,
having evidently gotten on the way
to Lincoln to his home. He was
reported to have been seen by sev
eral farmers and was' still wearing
the cuffs which were placed on him
Monday night by Sheriff Ryder. The
man has successfully eluded pursuit
by the officers so far, but his ulti
mate capture is almost certain as he
has little chance of having the cuffs
removed and the condition of the
wrists of the man will be such that
he cannot stand the pain of the
swollen wrists.

Followed by Reception At
tended by Old Friends
'The children of Mrs. Philip Kah
ler arranged a surprise supper on
Wednesday evening of last week, in
honor of her 57th birthday anniver
sary and later in the evening a

ence Patricia, a niece, Mrs. Frank
Johnson and daughter, Lura, and

Cities are Pay
ing Off Their
Bonded Debts
Report of State Shows Large Amounts
Being Settled This City Pays
of $2,000 in July.
Strong public sentiment in Ne
braska against additional bond is
sues by governmental subdivisions
is denoted by more than three times
as much indebtedness of that kind
paid off and cancelled during the
month of July as the amount repre
senting new obligations. This Is the
record of the month as it appears on
the bond registration books in the
state auditor's office.
A compilation by Bond Examiner
Ralph C. Lawrence reveals that
$301', 21C of bonds owing by cities,
villages, school districts and other
units of government was retired in
July, whereas, only $81,536 of new
bonds were promulgated.
This summary takes no account of
refunded bonds, where one issue took
the place of another and the amount
of indebtedness outstanding was not
changed. It includes only actual
payment of old bonds and the float
ing of new issues.
In recent months there has been
a growing tendency among Nebras
ka citizens to vote down proposed
bond issues when they were submit
ted. As a result of this fewer pro
jects calling for increased bonded in
debtedness are being submitted at
present.
A few years ago it was rare that
a proposition of this kind failed to
carry. Now the chances are that if
one is placed before the voters it
will be defeated.
Scotts Bluff Heads List.
Among the organized subdivisions
which paid off bonds during July,
the Gering irrigation district of
Scotts Bluff county stands at the top
of the column with $30,700 cancell
ed. Next in order comes Scotts Bluff
county iteelf with $28,000 of its se
curities called in. The city of Kear
ney is third with $20,000; the city of
York got rid of $16,620; Wayne
school district, $11,500; and the vil
lage of Chappell, $10,000.
Rural school districts over the
state retired a total of $10,195 bonds
which they were owing.
Included in the payments of bonds
for the month of July, Plattsmouth
has retired $2,000 of the bonded in
debtedness. !
