OLD MAN CHASED NEGRESS.
Lost His Money But Caught Jhc Girl.
"George Ilcaton, :i gny haired old
man from Hud Cloud, who is visiting
the fair, startled the crowd on O struct
nuur Eleventh la.it evening by chasing
wildly down the struct in pursuit of a
fleeing colored girl. The old man was
gaining on her, and finally caught her
after she had stranded in the arms of
a young fellow who was coming down
the street in opposite direction. Mr.
Ilcaton claimed she go1, his pocket
ed girl who threw her arms around
him. He says he pushed her away,
hut she persisted, and soon he felt his
watch leave his pocket. lie grabbed
it and put it back into his trousers
pocket, whereupon she broke and ran.
.She had gone some distance when he
felt in his pocket and found his
money pouch was gone. Then he
took after her, chasing her through
the alley and finally ending the chase
in front of the Western Union tele

book or pouch which contained fifteen i following concerning the affair:
dollars In paper money in addition to
some silver. After catching her, he
held onto her while the patrol wagon
wus being called, then they both went
to the station where the girl was
locked up. She gave the name of
Mattie Gritter and her home as
Omaha, when asked privately who she
was, but she was registered under a
different name. Shu came to the fair
yesterday, and had just returned from
the grounds when hur trouble oc
curred. Mr. Ilcaton had entered an
alley on P street a few feet. There,

saw with consternation that a buxom
colored damsel had started at a brink

"Then he followed at an even brisk

girl just as she collided with a young

"At the policu station thu woman
gave the name of Grncu Allen, and
said later that it was Grittur. from
Omaha. Thu local police did not know
her. but from her movements be
lieved her to be well skilled in the
gentle art.
"Ilcaton explained to thu police that
he had stepped into an alley on I
street and felt himself suddenly
pushed. He shoved her away and
then felt that his watch was sliding
from his pocket. Seizing the watch
hastily put it into another pocket and
felt safe when he saw thu girl making
off down the alley. In a moment, he
realized that his wallet was gone.
Then he started in wild pursuit,
charging down the thoroughfare after
tne woman like a bellowing lion.
The case was set for hearing in policu
court Thursday morning and thu
woman held in jail onS:00 bond which
she could not furnish."

at the home of the college in the
Damerell block. The program includ

short addresses were made by E. J.
Overing, Jr., Attorney .1. C. Saylor,
Dr. E. A. Thomas and Coun:y Super

Interesting Facts About the New
trie Liftht Plant.
Rapid progress is being made with
thu construction of the new light sys
tem. Within a few days the building
will be complutud.
Thu new boiler and stack have al
ready been shipped from the factory
and as soon as the carpunturs have
finished their work on the building,
foundations will be laid for the same
and also for the engine and dynamos.
It may be of interest to the readers
to know a few facts concerning the
new machinery which will be instal
led. The engine is the best of its kind
that money ean buy. It weighs 2SU00
pounds, The smoke stack is made of
.'Mil Inch steel, Is HO inches In diameter
and (Hi feet long, weighing about fl.'iOO
pounds. The handling of this ma
chinery is no little problem.
It may also be of Interest to know
the method of distributing the electric
current over the city. For Inside
lighting a current of 2200 volts is car
ried to the city on two wires until it
reaches the cransformer. Here the
current is transformed from 2200 volts
to 220 and 1 10 volts for streut lighting
and inside lighting respectively. The
current which is used for street light
in if is 'n---' from the plant by a
ily independent wires
whlcn em". . the current for inside
lighting. It winds about over town
to every street intersection using
over 7 miles of wire. This circuit will
be controlled at the station at the wilL
of the engineer.
Red Cloud, with Its 78 street lights,
will be one of the best lighted little
cities in the state. It is encouraging
that the citizens are taking hold of
the lighting proposition and are hav
ing their residences and pluces .of
business wired."
When everybody puts their shoulder
to the wheel the success of the light
ing system is assured. .
