County Will Pay
J J
Bossie’s Return
Officials Willing to Go After
Clerk If Prosecution
I3 Assured.
Sheriff Mike Endres is willing to
go to New York and bring Claude
Bossie, former city clerk, back to be
prosecuted for wife abandonment, he
announced Friday morning.
And county commissioners will pay
the expense of bringing Bossie back,
provided they are assured he will be
prosecuted after he Is returned.
Connty Attorney Beal has bad bit
ter experiences, in the business of
prosecuting wife deserters, but he also
intimated he would bo willing to make
a trip to New York.
"I don't say that I would be the
one to go,” explained Sheriff Endres.
“But I wouldn't mind going, if the
county commissioners would pay for
the trip."
"Wo believe in paying expenses
when necessary, and if we are assured
that Mrs. Bossie won't make up with
her husband the minute he returns,
and that ho will be prosecuted to the
fullest, we'll pay to bring him back
front any spot in the United States,”
chorused two county commissioners.
"I think there should be a bond put
up so that if Bossie wasn’t prosecuted
the expense of the trip would not
rest on tile county," said Beal, "in
many cases of this sort the wife is so
glad to have her husband hack that
she falls tearfully on his neck and
forgets about being mad at him."

Thief Uses Unique Method
to Lead Victim Off Scent
Columbus. Neb., Jan. 18.—J. L.
Hardy, Randolph (Neb.) farmer has
notified police in Columbus that he
had been neatly and uniquely fleec
ed out of $160 in travelers' checks.
Hardy was sitting beside a genial
stranger on the Norfolk to Colum
bus evening Union Pacific passenger
train. The traveler asked Hardy if
he. Hardy, used travelers’ checks.
Hardy said he did. The stranger
said, "Well then, I guess you're the
man I saw leaving a bunch of
travelers’ checks on a window ledge
in the Norfolk depot.”
Hardy had the conductor stop the
train and walked back to Norfolk, a
distance of two miles. When he got
there and couldn't find tho checks he
realized the stranger had searched
his pockets before directing him to
the absence of the checks, using the
juse to get him off the train.

Much Delayed Work
for Bryan on Return
Lincoln, Jan. 18.—One of tlie first
of several matters that will come be
fora Governor Bryan when he re
turns to the state house Saturday
morning, will bo the third Invitation
of the senate Investigating commit
tee to appear before it.
So far as can be determined by the
committee the governor has no en
gagements booked for January 25,
the date set, and he will be forced to
decide one way or the other on th<
merits of the invitation without the
excuse of a committee meeting or
trip to fall back upon.
Although members of the com
mittee decline to state what ques
tions in particular they would ask
the governor should he appear, the
two most likely appear to be, "Why
did you fail to cancel contracts,
which you could have done, had you
really believed there would be a de
ficiency in the road fund?” and
"Why have you increased many of
the contracts let under the previous
biennium?”
Another question that ths gov
ernor will have to answer when he
returns is. "Why has gasoline gone
up two cents when you said, recent

Just before leaving for Washing
ton the governor declared that the
Increase had not cotne to his official
notice. However, since he owns and
operates a motor car he should have
no difficulty in satisfying himself
that the price has gone up and the
additional two centa is being collect
ed.
And finally, there is the Important
decision of the supreme court in fH
vor of the Rock Island railroad,
which must cause considerable con
cern to the board of equiiization, of
which the governor is a member.
