The company claimed the way lie was routed the fare was insufficient in tiie sum of eight dollars and a fraction. And tiie worst of it was that Louie was stuck. Now comes a somewhat similar case at Central City, and will probably result tiie same, showing un der the beauties of the inter state commerce law that when you buy a routing over the railroads you have no mortal cinch against having to dig up more rhino later to appease and vindicate tiie law, tiie agent who routes you and takes the alleged cor rect fare not being tiie court of last resort by a jugful. Here is the Cen tral City episode as taken from the Nonpareil of last week: One of tiie strangest suits that has been filed in the county court forsome t ime was listed lor settlement before Judge Petersen tiffs week The Bur lington railway company wants Carl Itudolph to pay it $16.80. Mr. Ru dolph refuses and thinks lie has good reason. Four years ago, Mr. Rudolph and wife took a trip to Buffalo, N. Y. They bought their tickets over tiie Burlington. They paid Agent Welsh .90 each or $71.80 for tiie two. On tiie return tin they were informed by one of the conductors that they had not paid enougli for the tickets and lie callected an additional $16.80. Af ter they got home the company re funded the amount, stating that an error had been made. That was tiie last they heard of it until a few weeks ago when lie received a statement from the company for the amount. Naturally, lie refused to pay it and tiie company has now broughtsuit for its collection. In its petition the company claims tiiat tiie regular rate from Central Oily to Buffalo at the time the tickets were sold was $44.30, and that Mr. Rudolph should have paid $88.60, instead of $71.80. The Burlington is not altogether to hi me for its attempt to make collec tion of the amount, as tiie interstate commerce commission holds that transactions of this kind are a viola tion of the anti-discrimination provi sion of tiie law. There are a number of interesting wrinkles to the suit, however, and its outcome will he awaited with interest. Tiie Burling ton is represented by F. A. Bald, and Mr: lJMBisfrtttsretained H. F. r.llen. Radiator Didn’t Radiate Homeward It may be none of our business, but Will Zimmerman has great throbs of our sympathy, just the same. Last week Wednesday Will went down to l’almer to drive home his auto which had been becalmed there, when he took a bevy of Loup City girls to en joy a day’s visit with Mrs.Thos. Dins dale and came home by the keers. Leaving that distresing linale as not germane to this tale of woe, we radi ate to this story of a radiator that didn't radiate enough. Reaching the little city of Palmer, Will boarded his car and hiked for home, reaching St. Paul ahead of schedule time. As he whirled through that saintly city lie sighted the motor pulling out and concluded to “beat it” home. Man proposes but auto disposes, some times. Upon reaching a point midway between Dannebrog and Boelus the auto acquired that “tired feeling“and proved a “quitter.” Feeling of the pulse and a diagnose proved a frozen radiator complication. A walk of three miles, to a farm house, a dose of several gallons of hot water, and Dr. Zim had his patient convalescent. Again near Austin, so near and yet so far from home, Old Boreas got busy. Hot-footing, e“steamed” aqua' nothing could persuade Reo to go on The telephone, however, brought one of Will Schuman’s cars and relief, and though O. B. tried its wand and near ly got the latter, it was able to wheeze in on one lung, trailing the refractory car behind. Time 1:30a. m.: mercury 10 below. And yet Will tried to get us to go with him after the carl Gee whiz! Wern’t we lucky? / Charley Bennett in Auto Wreck By the Lewiston (Idaho)' Tribune, we see thatfCharley Bennett, former ly of this city, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Bennett, was one of a party of of young men of Lewiston who were mixed up in an auto accident in that city on Dec. 8th, in which two were seriously hurt, while Charley and an other companion escaped with a few minor bruises. The party was return ing from a visit to a live stock show near the city at a lively rate when the car skidded into a an embankment with such force that one wheel was torn off and the body of the car was thrown in the opposite direction re sulting in the w reck of another wheel and the occupants permitted to take involuntary aerial somersaults thro’ the air to Mother Earth. It was not thought any fatalities might result. The many friends of our former Loup City boy will be glad he escaped so easily. ringers Kipped in Circular SaW Last Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clock, as Ed. 1‘adclitfe was engaged in ripping out some quarter-inch strips at his planing mili witli a cir cular saw, his left hand in some man ner came in contact with the teeth of the saw, tearing the flesh from the three larger Angers, the middle one being stripped from the bone. He at once went to the office of the Drs. Bowman, where they dressed the in jured hand and Ed went away rejoic ing that the accident had not result ed more seriously. As Ed had on a pair of gloves while at work, it is thought the glove on the injured hand must have caught in the teeth of the saw, although the whole thing was done so quickly neither he nor Ollie Howard, who was also present, were able to say how it happened. Gregg Guilty of Technical Wrong Last week the Northwestern pub lished the story of the case of Dr. Gregg, veterinarian of Litchfleld, who at the instance of Assistant State (Veterinarian Norden was hauled be for the county court, pleaded guilty of error and was Aned $25. The story was published just as given us by Dr. Norden, and w hile correct as to com plaint and result, yet, according to the other side of the story, does not deal justly with the facts in that Dr. Gregg is a reputable veterinarion, who has a diploma as such from the leading veterinary college of Canada, situated in London, Ontario. His error consisted in advertising as a vet erinarian with college degree without having passed the state examination. Insofar as that he pleaded guilty and paid the tine, but as to qualilications as a veterinarian does not admit play ing second Addle to even the repre sentative of the prosecuting end of the state association himself. Wanted, Sealed “Swearing Room” Talk about beastly hard luck, you | bet Vaughn & Hinman, our popular ; druggists, have run- up against it. They have everything in headiness to ! move into their new and handsome i quarters in the just finished Waite ! block, up-to-date glass side shelvings. elegant prescription case, latest bev , el-edged glass show cases, and every I thing ordered to correspond, and were expecting them daily, when, lo! and behold, word came Tuesday of a fac ; tory strike among the glass workers and no telling when their order can : be filled. And their lease of the old ! quarter expires and their lease of the : new begins with the Jan. 1, 1913. A I closely-sealed “swearing room” would I come handy. -.

Pete Ryestorf, a 300-po.md youth from Shelby, backed by a num ber of farmers from Gresham and vi cinity, challenged the veteran wrest ler for a go, and something like $2,000 was hung up to back the proposition. > The pulling stunt was pulled off in South Omaha last Thursday and old i Farmer Burns won easily. Burns i himself took a goodly part of the money. He is past 93 yean old now. Mail Uerk Miller Draws a Light Jail Sentence Rudolph H. Miller, who was caught rilling the mails on this branch a few mouths' since, later confessing guilt, was at Lincoln last Friday sentenced by Judge Monger of the federal court to serve three months in the county jail at Hastings, Neb. Miller made a heart-broken plea for U-niency and was backed by strong sentiment from leading men of the state, which pre vailed, his age of 56 years, ids most excellent family, the short period of his stealings, his former good reputa tion, etc., being taken into acccount. Miller was foimerly a minister of the gospel and grand master of Nebraska Odd Fellows. He had been in the postal service 23 years. It will always be a mystery to the thousands of his friends how he, the last one they would ever have suspected, should have been guilty of the crime.
