FAIRBANKS AND LUKE ARE HELD TO THE DISTRICT COURT. IN THE SUM OF $500 EACH The Courtroom Was Over Crowded to Hear the Story of the Burning One of the Three Boys Tells of the Plot and the Execution of the Fire. 'i.'rnm Snlimlnv's Dully. ] Karl Fairbanks and Bert Luke , the two youths who were brought up be fore Justice Elseley on preliminary hearing yesterday afternoon , charged with arson , were bound over to the J fall term of the district court by .Indue Elseley 1 , nnd their ball fixed at $500 each. In default of bond they went to jail last night , though friends weio working today in an effort to release them nnd hoped to succeed bufori nlKht. The courtroom overflowed with those eager to hear the details of the story of the burning of the Breed barn , the stairs being crowded nnd the oth er rooms In the city building filled. Among the crowd , which consisted mostly of boys nnd a few men , wore here 1 and there a woman who , throuph curiosity or personal Interest , had crowded ' Into the stuffy room. Told How They Planned the Fire. Ernest Stalzky , a lad much younger than either Fairbanks or Luke , wan placed on the stand by the prosecu tlon and told of the planning to burn the big Rome Miller barn at South Norfolk , and how they later deter mined to burn the Breed barn. "The three of us , " said the youth , "went west on the passenger and at Kent Siding pulled the air cord and stopped the train. On the freight train coming back , Earl Fairbanks said , 'Let's do something. This Is n good windy night let's burn some thing. Are you game , fellows ? ' "Luko said he was game and I said I wanted to go home. Fairbanks said , 'WP want to get up some excitement hero that will get the people to talk ing about Norfolk Junction. ' " The boy then told how the trio had approached the barn and how Fair banks had suggested that when the policeman's light went out they would know ho was asleep. He related how Luke had wanted to burn a building at the schoolhouse , but Fairbanks had said , "No , the policeman is alwayu hanging around there. " Then it was suggested that they set the cnurch aflire. "The Barn Is Booming. " Then lie related to the court how Fairbanks had stood a long way off. watching for the officer , while Luke had tossed the burning waste Into the barn and had como back with the news that "She's just a booming , boys. " Then they ran to the hose house , got out the cart nnd pulled it , clanging , down the street to put out the blaxc. "Fairbanks had suggested that we burn the Hyde barn , " said Stalzky , "but Luke objected because there wore cattle in the barn and he said he wouldn't burn that. " The lad told a straight , clear-cut story throughout nnd was not tanfled in the least on cross examination Burt Mapes , on behalf of Bert Luke , made it a point to bring out to the court the fact that Luke was no : tlio leader in the movement , but that Fair banks was the suggcster in the affair and the real director in the burning. "May be a Fire Tonight. " A mall wagon driver was put on the stand and testified that on the after noon of the fire , Fairbanks had snid to him , just after discussing the fact that there were many fires just then In Norfolk , that "there is likely to be a fire in the Junction tonight. " Other witnesses , Including Officers Livingstone nnd Larkin , were put on the stand and testified to their work In the case , their stories substantiat ing the Stalzky story. The defendants offered no evidence whatever , and the case rested. Judge Elseley then fixed the bond at $500 each. Bert Luke , who arrived at noon , toli a clear , straight story to The News before the trial , admitting his part in the matter but Insisting that Fair banks had been the snggester. Fairbanks still maintains that he merely watched the fun. Luke sat in the courtroom with his head lowered nervously biting his lips. Ho evident ly was troubled over the matter though the most suffering fell upon his father , H. H. Luke , who declared that If ho could have been at homo the trouble would never have hap pcned. Agent Stein was not , as had beet stated , a witness. E. P. Weathorby represented Fair banks and Jack Koenlgstoin the state A FAR REACHING SALESMAN How Merchants are Now Enabled to Talk to Patrons Miles Away. This Is a good time to advertise. The people who buy things are look ing at the spring announcements which appear. They are looking for the now designs and are wondering where to get what they want. They may have Ideas as to what they want a good salesman will sell them something better. A salesman must not only sell what is asked for by those who appear In the store , but ho must also sell things that wouldn't otherwise be sold. An advertisement is a salesman. It does the work of a salesman who talks to several thou sand people every day. If the adver tisement talks In the right way If It is so written that it presents the sell- ng points convincingly It will bring leoplo to n store. It must carry nr- ; iiments. It must carry logical , ron- lonublo reasons why the nrticlo nd- ertlsed should bo bought. Different articles have different sorts of selling points. An advertisement must ellm- unto all except the concise reasons vhy nn nrticlo should bo bought. ' An advertisement , reaching people who mvo never seen your store , will , If It jffcrn what they need , bring them to ook. Then the salesmen the Insldo salesmen must do the rest. Norfolk merchants are now enabled o reach hundreds of farmers In Nor- oik's territory every day through hcso columns. The farmer Is as close to town as his neighbor. Ho has a telephone nnd a free mall service , lo can be talked to every day through ho dally paper. Why not toll him ou want him to come to your store ? Why not give him Inducements to como ? i TREES AND SHRUBS PLANTED BY THE SCHOOL PUPILS. PROGRAMS IN HONOR OF DAY Future Yenrs Will Show that Norfolk School Children Have Done a Share Toward the Beautifying of the City. Morton's Achievement [ From Tuesday's Dally. ] On account of the dlsagreeahlo weather Friday and the further fact that some of the trees and shrubs for planting had not arrived , the Arbor Jay observance by the elty schools t was not held until yesterday , when the weather was not much more fa vorable for the programs , but the children managed to get through It very nicely and their trees and shrubs tiavo received a baptism by an April shower that should start them to- growing as though they had never been disturbed in their original en vironment. The exercises of recitations , readIngs - Ings and singing wore held within doors and the planting and naming of the trees took place afterward. In addition to the trees n number of ( lowering shrubs were planted In each school yard , and It Is proposed later to plant grass plots and flower beds that will materially Improve the ap pearance of the school grounds. Each pupil is made to see that It is to hsi individual interest to protect the trees and care for them and In a few years it is believed that a material improve ment will be noticed in the school plots. Thirty-five large sized elms were distributed among the various schools and Mrs. Osborn has the thanks of the schools and the patrons for con tributing a number of ( lowering shrubs to each of the buildings. There will be some filling where needed to prepare the grounds for ' ? grass plots and flower beds and pro \ visions are being made for the gen eral Improvement of the school grounds. The father of Arbor day , the late J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City , formerly secretary of agriculture In President Cleveland's cabinet , was given generous recognition , and the years to come will undoubtedly show some statply trees the credit for whose origin will accrue to.the pupils and teachers who observed Arbor day in Norfolk this spring. Mr. Morton was one of the pioneer settlers of Nebraska , coming to the territory in 1830 or 1854. At that time trees were not as plentiful as they arc now , and he planted a great many around Nebraska City. He lost no opportunity to put a seed or a sprig in the ground. He tried to break the monotony of the prairies , and did. The timber claim enact ment of congress was then unknown , llain was scarce , and Irrigation was not even a dream. When a tree was planted on a hillside overlooking the Missouri river , water had to be car ried to it in buckets. It was In this way that the hundreds of trees around Nebraska City were induced to grow , and before the end of Mr. Morton's life his hopes were realized. But he knew long before that that ho must keep the coming generations planting trees , and in 1872 he prevailed on the state board of agriculture to take up the matter. In 1874 , as a result of his efforts , the legislature designated the second Wednesday In April of each year as Arbor day. On this day every citizen was asked to plant at least one tree. As a result , there are growing in Nebraska , as told by Rev. C. S. Harrison , of York , a prominent horticulturallst , over 800,000.000 Ar bor day trees. Calumet Baking Powder Perfect In quality.
