SHERIFF WILLIAMS MAKES ARREST OF MAN WANT
ED IN CHICAGO ON CHARGE OF BURGLARY.
Was Working On Farm Near Ashton When Arrested—Chi
cago Authorities Will Come and Get Prisoner As
Soon As Officers (Set Here With Requisition.
Last Monday evening Sheriff Wil
liams heceived a description of a man
charged with robbery and on Tuesday
he went out and got his man, or, at
least, he got a man who answered the
description and who, it is said, very
reluctantly admitted that the charge
was true, and the prisoner is now lan
guishing in the county jail.
The circumstances which led up to
the arrest are about as follows: The
letter referred to, received by Mr.
Williams, was from the chief of police
of Chicago, advising him that a rob
bery had been commmitted. It read:
‘‘I hold a warrant for one Andrew
Bukata on charge of robbery commit
ted August 22, 1915, qpmplaint of
Stanley Cylusuiah.”
Bukata is described in the letter as
being 26 years of age, 5 feet, 8 or 9
inches in height; about 145 or 150
pounds weight; slim build, thin-faced,
light brown hair, smooth shaven, and
blue eyes.
The letter further advised that the
writer was in possession of informa
tion that the man wanted was near
Ashton, whereupon the sheriff took
the freight the next morning for Ash
ton and drove out in the country, to
the farm of John John Gramatta, made
the arrest and brought his man to
Loup City on the return freight train
in the afternoon.
The circumstances under which the
charge was made was not learned
here, more than to say that Bukata is
said to have been in the employ of the
McCormick Harvester company at
Chicago, but that after he quit work
for them he suddenly disappeared and
with his disappearance, the discovery
was made that Cyclusuiam had been
robbed. If there are other circum
stances connected with the robbery it
is known only *o the parties in the
case.
Bukata, at first denied the charge,
but later, it is said, admitted that there
was some truth in it. He is of Polish
descent and speaks English with, some
difficulty.
He will be held a reasonable length
of time to give the Chicago authorities
time to come and identify him. He
has been in this part of the country
some two or three weeks, most of the
time working here and there. He wa3
husking com for Mr. Gramatta when
arrested.
Sheriff Williams later, received a
telegram from police headquarters at
Chicago last evening, advising him to
hold Bukata and that they would be
after him as soon as they could get a
j requisition.
MRS. LORENTZ ENTERTAINS.
Mrs. Gus Lorentz entertained at her
home last Thursday afternoon, thirteen

I with white and yellow chrysanthe
i mums. Whist was the game of the

WHEN ROME RULED.
A wonderful drama in five parts, of
the early Christian trials, made es
pecially for the Electic Film Co., by
Pathe, will be shown at the Daddow
opera house, Saturday evening, No
vember 13.
This picture is an exceptionally
stirring historical drama. It is re
plete with action and thrilling scenes
in which the lives of the actors were
endangered. True to the life of a Ro
mn colony it affords an opportunity
which everyone should accept.
SOME WEATHER.
The weather has certainly been very
changeable the past ten days. One
does not know what to expect from
one day to another. A strong south
wind made it very disagreeable for
several days. Cold weather will be
here before long, judging from the
present indications.

AND TWO ARE KILLED
Steering Gear Breaks and Machine
Overturns and Instantly Kills
Both Occupants.
A terrible auto accident in which
two lives were snuffed out in an in
stant, occured three miles south of
Arcadia Tuesday afternoon about
2:30 o’clock. Miss Mable Lutz, and
her aunt, Mrs. Bennett, were going to
Arcadia in an auto. Miss Lutz driving
the car. It appears that something
went wrong with the steering gear
of' the car and the driver lost all con
trol of the machine and the front
wheels evidently cramped in such a
manner as to upset the car. The car
fell on both women in such a manner
that their necks were broken, and
death in each instance was probably
instantaneous.
The accident occured close to the
Lutz home and on a perfectly level
piece of road. It is reported that Mr.
Lutz witnessed the accident from a
window at the house and immediately
went to their assistance. An auto
party from here came along just after
the accident and helped remove the
bodies to the house.

SMALL TWISTER FORMS NEAR TOWN AND DOES
DAMAGE TO MANY STACKS AND BUILDINGS.
Prichau Residence Unroofed and Burlington Water Tank
Partly Wrecked—Grain and Hay Stacks in Country
Torn Up and Blown Over a Large Territory.
A cyclone of considerable dimen
| sions swept to the west of town yester
j day afternoon and did some damage
to buildings in the western part of
the city. The clouds hung heavy in
the west nearly all day, when, about 3
o’clock p. m., the wind, ^vhich had
been blowing steady from the south,
suddenly changed to the southwest
and a funnel-shaped cloud was seen
i rapidly coming to earth. It struck
: just on the outskirts of the city and
j twisted in a furious manner.
Fortunately, there were not many
houses in its path. W. L. Prichau’s
■ residence was unroofed and the upper
1 story of the building was badly
wrecked. The lower rooms remained
intact. The family was in the house
at the time, but none of them were
injured. The large green house, located
nearby, with a glass covering, was not
injured in the least.
J. Congers’ large ice house was torn
to pieces, and the water tank on the
B. & M. tracks was partly unroofed.
A deluge of water and hail followed
the twister, but did not do much dam
age. A large plate glass in the front
of Attorney Starr’s office was broken,
and other small damage is reported
to have resulted from the hail. It was
the heaviest hail storm that has fallen
within the city limits this year.
From later reports we learn that
the track of the cyclone was from the
southwest part of the county and
traversed in a northeasterly direction
to the county seat, doing considerable
damage along the route. Grain and
hay stacks -were badly scattered and
outbuildings were leveled to the
ground or picked up and carried awray.
BONDS DEFEATED.
The proposition of the City of Loup
City, Nebr., issuing bonds for the con
struction of a sewer trunk line, in the
sum of $6,500 was defeated at the elec
tion held Tuesday, the majority
against the bonds being thirty-four
votes.
The election was a very quiet affair
and a light vote was cast, 198 votes be
ing recorded in the two wards, as fol
lows :
First Ward.
For Bonds. 47
Against Bonds . 65
Second Ward.
For Bonds . 35
Against Bonds . 51
Very little electioneering was done
and no argument, that we know of,
was used against the issuance of the
bonds, except that the time was not
propitious for such an undertaking.
The voters were strongly in favor of
calling a special election on the sewer
proposition last spring, but reversed
their decision at this time.
