Search for
Bandit Car in
This Locality
Sheriff Sylvester Patrols Highway 02
.Report That Texas Sad Men
Speeding Northvard.
Sheriff Homer Sylvester was call
ed out Saturday evening and early
Sunday morning with ether peace of
ficers in eastern Nebraska on the re
port that the car of Clyde Barrows,
Texas bandit, was headed in this di
rection. The car, claimed to bo that of Bar
rows, was seen on Saturday after
noon at St. Joseph, Missouri, being
reported as headed northward, and
caused the general alarm for the offi
cers to patrol the highways.
The car was described as a. V-S
Ford with cream colored wheels and
bearing the numbers 271-A-047 and
with several bullet holes in the car,
caused by the battles that the bandit
had been in during the past lew
weeks.
With Barrows was reported Bonnie i
Baker, the cigar smoking lady com
panion, as well as a male companion
thought to be Raymond Hamilton.
The search was kept up through
eastern Nebraska all day Sunday un
til the word was received that a
bloodstained car thought to be that
of Barrows, had been abandoned near
Ottawa, Kansas, the car containing
a neektci that had belonged to one
cf the wounded officers who had been
held as hostage by Barrows for four
teen hours in his flight through Texas
and Oklahoma.
PEEPAES FOR EASES ALL SEASOl.
The warm sunsmne o" Sunday
brought out a large number of the
baseball enthusiasts and a few cf
the fans to Athletic park, to look
over the prospects Tor the 1934 sea
son. All of the old veterans of the
past few seasons will probably be cut
as practically all of last year's team
with the exception of Hopkins, were
out Sunday.
The new park gives a much longer
and better outfield than the former
park and there will be less home
runs knocked over the embankments
of the new park as it has been built
out to the north ar.d east.
With the excellent park arranged
and the prospect for a good team
this season, the fans can look for
ward with satisfaction to the coming
season.
Fay Spidell, heady catcher of the
Tied Sox, was on hand Sunday to as
sure a good dependable receiver,
while Svoboda at Erst, Newman at
shortstop, and Schliscke, in the in
field looked good. Sylvester will
probably be a hurlcr cn the team
as he did this as well as covered
second during the past season. The
team will probably have the serv
ices cf Raymond Rodrigues, fast in
fielder, who last year was unable to
play, owing to his vacation at home
in Hawaii.
Joe McCarty was selected as the
playing manager.
There should be a number of good
young players who were developed
by the kittenball season last year
and who should furnish reserve ma
erial for the Red Sox.
LOOKIKG AFTEH FAE1I WORK
From Monday's Dally
Harry Palmer, one or the well
known republican politicians of the
state, was here today for a short
time while cn route from his farm
near Louisville to Omaha. Mr. Pal
mer with his brother, Arthur L. Pal
mer, have been visiting at San Fran
cisco with their mother, Mrs. Alma
Palmer where Arthur remained for a
longer visit but Harry came on to
Nebraska to look after his farm in
terests. The Palmer boys last year
carried out an extensive plan of cora-
bating erosion of the land on their
farm and this year Harry will super
vise the planting of the land.
Mr. Palmer has been strongly
urged by many to enter the race for
the republican nomination for con
gress in the second district and also
has been urged as chairman of the
republican state central committee
for the coming campaign and to suc
ceed Robert Smith of maha, who will
be a candidate for U. S. senator.
CAE-BUGGY SMASH UP
Saturday night a few miles east of
Alvo occurred a wreck between a car
and horse and buggy and in which
one of the horses was very seriously
injured and will probably have to be
killed. The car was driven by Henry
Deitel while the horse and buggy
was driven by Waller Collins. The
driver of the car failed to see the
horse and buggy which was reported
to the office of the sheriff, was on
the wrong side of the highway at the
time of the accident. The occupants
of the car and buggy fortunately es
caped serious injury.

ITew Board Member. i
1. Li. .ucuonaid, whose name was i
written on several ballets as a can
didate for the Greenwood village
council, was elected to that body, a
canvass of votes revealed Tuesday
night. The vote for him was
while TV. P. Hillis, whose name was
printed on the ballot, was next with
SI. McDonald is a new member and
Hillis was re-elected. The other
three council members are hold
overs. Some uncertainty regarding the
validity of the votes existed for sev
eral cf the voters, after writing ia
the name of McDonald, failed to
mark a cross opposite. Justice of the
Peace Armstrong of Greenwood con
ferred with Attorney General Good
and was informed thai the supreme
court ruled some years ago that writ
ing in of a name was prima facie
evidence of the intent to vote for that
person. The? recount wns held Tues
day night and twelve ballots, which
had previously been in doubt, were
counted for McDonald. X. D. Tal
cott. member of the council, was not
re-elected.

RESOLUTIONS
We your committee on resolutions
have no formal repert to give. Our
welcome has been so natural and the
feeling of being at home so real that
we cannot feel it in our hearts to
give a formal expression of gratitude.
Whc.t can we say?
When one gives us a cup cf cold
water we say, "Thank you," and if
one would save our lives what can
we s;ay more?
As we have walked up and down
your hills, we have rejoiced in the
prophecy that some day every valley
shall be exalted and every hill be
made low.
Now seriously, Brethren, in this
7Cth year cf this church's life, and
the twentieth year of Harry G. Mc
Clusky's pastorate here, we desire to
congratulate both church and pastor.
We thank you for your royal en
tertainment. We thank you for that grand mens
supper.
We thank you for the fine ladies
dinner.
We thank you for the good weath
er. We thank you for the inspiring
music.
We thank you for your loving
hearts.
May the Lord bless you and keep
you; and make His face to bhine up
on yu; and lift up His cuntenance
upen you and give you peace.
