Pool Hall Holdup
Believed joke
Deshler Bandit, After Slip
ping Through Marshal's
Fingers, Caught Later.
Deshler. Neb., Feb. S.—Herbert
Schreek, proprietor of the Deshler
pool hall, was held up in his place of
business Rnd robbed of more than $100
in cash and $300 in checks. There
were several persons in the place at
tlie time, but when a lone masked
gunman appeared and covered the
crowd with a revolver, ordering hands
up, all complied, thinking it was a
joke. Kven the marshal, who ap
peared and covered the bandit with a
Sun, hesitated to shoot and let him
get away, as ho believed he recog
nized the youth as a follower of the
pipe line construction gang.
When it became evident the affair
was not a farce a search was made
and the suspect located west of town
He'fled firing a shot which narrowly
missed Marshal Hill. Seeing that he
could not escape, he threw down his
gun and surrendered.
The money was recovered, but he
had burned the checks. « The youth
insists that his iktne is Jessie James
and that lie has received mail ad
dressed that way. He says his home
is near Fort Worth, Tex. He was
placed in jail and will be bound over
to district court. He is about IS.

Rock Island Service
TJeshler, Neb., Feb. 5.—Trainmaster
F. L. Parks of the Rock Island was
in tnwn this week and gave the depot
force strict orders regarding over
time. The depot is not to be opened
for Sunday business. The section
foreman is to fire up in the waiting
room Sunday evenings and turn on
the lights. No provision is made for
warming the room or checking bag
gage Sunday mornings. No messages
are to be sent after 5 any day.
These reductions in service arc
made in face of the fact that this
point is fourth in volume of business
of any town on this road in Nebraska,
being exceeded only by Omaha, Lin
coln and Falrbury. An appeal for bet
ter service has been made by the
Commercial club to headquarters at
Chicago, and It nothing comes of It
the matter will be taken before the
state railway commission.

“I'll run you down to the postof
fice right now,” I said, reaching for
my hat and suit coat. "I have noth
ing more to do here, and, thanks to
** you, the children are all ready.”
“With Marlon mounting guard
over them.’’ Lillian supplemented.
“Come along then. I shall he tin
easy, I don't mind telling you, until
thaVs done.”
I drove her down to the village and
waited outside the postoffiee while
she went In and Interviewed the post
master. When she came out, she
nodded reassuringly to me, and then
I saw her lift her head quickly, a
sure sign to me that she had seen
something disturbing. She gave no
other indication of anxiety, however,
and climbed Into the car beside me
with a nonchalant air which did not
deceive me—Indeed was not assumed
for my benefit.
'‘Pretend to have trouble starting,"
she murmured as she climbed in. “I
want time to lamp this bird.”
I obeyed her unquestlonlngly, and
furtively my eyes followed hers to a
burly figure approaching the postof
fice from the direction of the val
road station. Pirty-hattpd, blue
jowled, my eyes traveled down his
rough business suit to his feet, and
I was ready to endorse Lillian’s com
ment given when the man had dis
appeared inside tlie postoffice.
A Suspicious Character.
"A retired policeman, now fancy
ing himself a great de-tec a-tive,”
she gibed, but I was sure I heard un
easiness in her tone.
"His flat feet?” I ventured.
“Not only his feet," she retorted.
"He fairly screams it all over. Now.
I’ll lay you a little two to one that
he’a been sent here by that attorney
who wrote that precious letter. He’s
exactly the type to appeal to people
who don't have much experience. Of
course he isn’t very dangerous, and
yet I'm just as glad I was two min
utes ahead of him in that postoffice.
Not that the postmaster himself
would give him any satisfaction—fed
eral orders are the only things post
masters heed—but there's always the
chance that a dick like that can get
hold of Rome under-clerk with a taste
for melodrama and loosen him up.
However, I’ve spiked that thing down
fast. The postmaster's on the look
out for Just such a specimen as the
one which floated in a minute ago,
and he'll chase him out with the
cats faster than he came in. Let’s
go!”
The uneasiness in her tone com
municated itself to me, and I drove
much faster going out to the farm
house than I had going in.

E. C. Houston for Congress
HON. E. C. HOUSTON, yielding to pressure and filing as re
publican candidate for congress in this, the Third district,
was ir surprise to some of his intimate friends, who were
aware that for several months he had declined all overtures to
permit his name to be used as a candidate for any political
office. The friends who persuaded him to enter the race for con
gress made no mistake in selecting a man well qualified to serve
his constituency in nn acceptable manner. Mr. Houston is a first
class business man and one of Burt’s most esteemed and foremost
citizens. He has had .15 years’ experience here as a business man
and as a practical farmer, stock raiser, breeder and feeder. He
served this senatorial district in the state senate in the 191!)
session, where he made n record as one of the influential and
active members in that body, lie was elected presidential elector
Tn the 1920 campaign to notify the late President Harding of
his election.
Mr. Houston has spent all his adult life in Tckamah—it was
here he cast his first vote. Early in life he took an active part
in public affairs and was elected mayor of this city in 1899 and
made a splendid ret-ord.
Mr. Houston is naturally a go-get-’em character. If there
is any public affair that needed pushing he was generally selected
lo lead the enterprise. His usual command is: ‘‘Come on, hoys,
let us do it.” Mr. Houston’s wide acquaintance in this district
will insure him a big vo*e. He is not an extremist in any sense
of the term; he is neither a radical progressive nor a reactionary
standpatter- he is just, a sane, level-headed business man who
believes in the application of practical methods that will accom
plish the best results for the public. (Editorial by J. R. Suther
land in Burt County Herald, Tckamah, Neb., January 24, 1924.)

Kati? and Jim to send for you if any

I nodded an assent, and took the
car around to the barn without any
expression of sympathy for her
headache. I knew, and she knew 1
knew, that it was only a blind. She
wished solitude to plan what course
It was best for us to pursue in order
to escape the espionage of the detec
tive employed by the Harrison fam
ily. Coming back to the kitchen, I
laid her injunction upon Jim rind
Katie as emphatically as I could.
“Remember," I said, "not to tell
anyone tiie Harrison children arc go
ing away. As far ns you know they
are on here indefinitely.”
"Not even Tieers?” Katie asked,
dolefully, and I knew how tier gos
sipy, voluble soul longed to share her I
knowledge with our neighbors.
"Especially not the Tlcers." X said
sternly, for though I knew My.

her son and husband did not share
her discretion.
“Me, I no say notings,” Katie
promised effusively, and only partly
reassured by her protestations I
went to the library and read to the
children gathered there until Katie
with excited eyes came to the door.
"deem says coom to the *kitchen
