Have you seen Halley's comet? It
Is la sight now if you get up early
**“»**» in the morning. You will
find It in the northeast for a little
while any clear morning. It is so
i close to the sun it does not rise till
an hour or so before the great lumi
dary and soon after the eastern sky
j ** ***° to permit its being seen.
J*o the time wlien It may be seen is
, quite snort. It lias passed around
the sun and is now on its return trip,
just having made the turn and is
oominf toeard tlie earth at a fearful
speed, the earth, going in an oppo
site direction, is rushing on in its
comparatively slow course to meet
tire stranger, which makes its trip
only once in about 75 yean. It looks
like a star now but coming toward
us at three or four million miles an
hour while we are going toward It at
about flo.ouo miles an hour, so you see
i we are approaching the stranger at a
pretty fair pace. For this reason It
will grow brighter quite rapidly.
!Our nearest approach will be about
i fifteen millions of miles, or one sixth
■ of the distance to the sun, which
will be the brightest stage in the
comet’s course from our point of
view and that will be on May 17 and
the day following we will plunge Into

this. If these upper strains of gas

Council Bluffs Crook
Weds In Loup City
Wanted for Burglary on
Eve of Marriage
Escapes to Hills When
Sheriff Seeks Arrest
But Caught Later Near
Rockville by Sheriff
Paroled From an Iowa
Penitentiary
County J udge Smith on Friday of
last week issued a marriage license
to Wm. E. Rolph and Marie Swaney
both of Oouucil Bluffs. The bride
bride were here on a visit, the groom
coming from Council Bluffs to be
married.
Last Sunday, following the mar
riage above mentioned, Sheriff Wil
liams received a phone message from
Council Bluffs asking if such a man
as the gloom was described to be was
in Loup City- Upon the sheriff an
swering in the affirmative, he was
later advised by the police tliat Rolph
was wanted at Council Bluffs for
burglariring three stores on last week
Thursday night, giving a description
of tiie stolen goods, which consisted
of a suit of c'oUves. and a number of
articles of woman's apparel, a list of
which was given the sheriff, who was
asked to arrest Rolph. hold him sub
ject to tiie arrival of the officers from
the Bluffs and find if possible„Lhc
stolen stuff. Sheriff Williams went
to U*‘ home of Ovas. Sickles, where
tiie girl-wife had been staying, and
found a number of the articles. He
liven drove down to the home of Andy
Gray, in Clay township, wive re he
learned the wanted man and his bride
were attending Uve wedding of Mr.
Gray's daughter, taking with him his
deputy. Jay Cola. On the way, he
met Clias. Sickles returning from the
wedding, who infofmed um sheriff
that Rolph would be found up stairs,
wive re be had put In most of his time,
presumably on the lookout for the
officers. However, as the sheriff and
deputy approached the home, Rolph
was sifting in front of the house and
as one of Uve guests exclaimed "Here
comes Uve sheriff: wonder what he is
after." Rolph hurriedly left for the
hills at the rear of uve house. Uve
sheriff and deputy After him, but bej
was too fleet of foot and darkness *
coming soon, the officers were unable !
to make his arrest, although Slverlff
Williams, in an attempt to intimidate
the fallow, sent a bullet so uncom
fortably near his head that he made ‘
an involuntary dodge. The young
wife returned to town with the sher-:
iff and willingly gave up all Uve!
articles Rolph had brought with him
from Council Bluffs, includir^ Uve
dress she was married in.
Tuesday noon, Sheriff Williams, ac
companied by Chas. Sickles and
Frank Hendrickson, went to Rock
ville on Uve motor, and just west of
Rockville saw their man Rolph just
wiUvin live edge of a clump of trees.
Reaching Rockville they hired a
livery rig and toek Uve back track
after Rolph. who bv that time had
left Uve vicinity of the track and
passed around Uve village, so when
Uve sheriff and his men got in sight
of him he had returned to Uve track
and was nearly a mile beyond Rock
ville. Driving slowly, Uve officers
fooled Rolph into security, and when
some thirty feet away the sheriff
sprang from Uve rig, covering his man
before he had time to recover his
surprise, relieving him of his arsenals,
put Uve darbyson him and that even
ing brought him to Loup City and
deposited him in Uve city’s detaining
palace. Wednesday morning, Uve
slverlff having notified Uve Council
Bluffs police to come and get their
man, U*ey wired him to take the
man to the Binds, but having neces
sary duUes at home sent back word
for them to come and get Rolph, as
he couldn’t take the time to go down
with him, and at this writing the
young man is still here awaiting fur
ther disposition. Rolph is not & bad
looking fellow of about 26 years, of
medium build and perhaps 5 feet,
10 inches in height and entertains
Uve curious about the jail with volu
ble talks. He claims many things,
among them is one to Uve effect that
he purchased the articles found in
Uve possession of his young wife from
a party wno did steal them. He
claims to have been in town several
times between Sunday evening and
Tuesday, and says he felt safe from
capture unless seen by Sickles, the
sheriff not knowing him by sight,
and his hanging around here was for
the purpose of taking his wife away
with him. The Omaha papers of
Monday contained quite lengthy ac
counts of Rolph, whom they claim is
a paroled prisoner from Fort Madison,
IoWa. penitentiary, to which he had
been sent up for three years for bur
glary, and paroled at the end of two
years. The articles in question were
very erroneous in their account of
the case here, which is given correct
ly above. It Is expected the Council
Bluffs officers will arrive this even
ing after him.
It would seem from past experience
that Sherman county and Sheriff
Williams would be the wisest place
and being for crooks and bad men
generally to keep away from. Sheriff
Williams has in the past proved a
terror to evil doers and none of
the gentry coming under his ban
have succeeded In eluding his official
clutch, as past history will prove.
Peter Pallesen of Dannebrog don’t
believe in burying the hatchet like
the Indian by leaving the handle
sticking out for future convenience,
but buries handle and all, according
to the following article under his
signature:
“I hereby desire to publicly an
nounce that I have at different times
wilfully and maliciously slandered the
name and reputation of' Represen
tative Soren M. Fries, by accusing
him of being a grafter and of receiv
ing money for his vote and Influence
while a member of the legislature. I
now wish to make the statement
that what I have said about Mr.
Fries' record in the legislature Is en
tirely untrue and without any foun
dation whatever for such accusation.
UI will also confess that I did it
deliberately and for the purpose of
injuring Mr.-Fries’ reputation and of
casting reflection upon his honesty
and integrity as stats representative.
Peter Pallesen.
