Shortly after the hank opened thin
jiiorulng VanDovor appeared at tlio
Security hnnk and nBkod the presi
dent , O. 12. Kngler , 1C he way ready to
turn over the money In the bank to
him. The demand was treated us a
joke by the president , and after some
jmrloy VanDover left and Bald ho
would go to the poslolllco and then
como hack after the funds.
At the postolllce VanDover ordered
I'oHtiiuiBturCrellln to close up the ot-
ilco , as It was not needed In IMuinvlow
iiny longer. Then he went buck to
the bank.
'Hero he again demanded that all
the money In the bunk be turned over
io him at once , and hccamo BO Insist-
out that President Engler was obliged
io drive him out of the building at the
I > olnt of u gun. VauDover then
climbed Into his wagon and drove fu
riously toward homo.
Warrants were sworn out against
the man and at noon today officers
wore searching for him.
VanDover Is an eccentric character
tvho has made a good deal of trouble
here in the past and there Is little
doubt in the minds of people living
iu I'lainvlow that he is demented.
\Vhlle the attempted hold up of the
bunk and postolllco are not taken se
riously , yet it is believed the time has
come when the man should bo placed
where ho will not be a menace to the
community , and it is likely that ho
will be sent to the hospital for insane.

ity.Ono of Undo Sam's now ten-dollar
gold pieces , embodying a radical de
parture from the old design , has been
received In Norfolk by the Nebraska
National bank. The now coin carries
the famous Saint Gaudcna design , for
which an Irish waitress In the cast
| HHcd , to the consternation of those
who wanted the face on the now coins
to embody the features of some maid
en whoso sojourn in America had been
a little longer than that of the beau
tiful Irish lassie. On ono sldo of the
now coin is the head of the Irish
maiden , given an American tinge by
a high Indian bonnet. On the rcverso
side the traditional caglo is still im
printed hut the noble bird on the new
coins has drawn in his formerly ex
tended wings. Another Innovation Is
a circle of stars on the cdgo of the
new coins in place of the imprint left
by the former milling process. Wbllo
probably more artistic In aspect , the
now coins are less symmetrical than
the old ones and lack the clean-cut de
sign that has marked the American
coins. So radical is the change in
the now gold pieces designed by the
Into Saint Gaudens that they pass
readily for a foreign coin when seen
for the first time. The twenty dollar
gold pieces have not yet been received
In Norfolk.
WM. ZULAUF OF PIERCE IS TWICE
SHOT AT.
NEITHER CHARGE TOOK EFFECT
As the Horseman Was Leaving the
Race Track , a Man Approached and
Deliberately Fired Two Shots at
Him Race For Life Into Town.
A gentleman who came down from
Pierce last evening says that city was
thrown Into consternation yesterday
by the attempt on the part of a man
either drunk or crazy to shoot Wm.
Zulauf , the popular horseman.
As Zulauf was leaving the race track
with one of his Horses , which ho had
been exercising , the assailant came up
and fired two shots at the horseman.
When he heard the shots , Zulauf did
not realize that the man was aiming
at him until he drove up alongside
and pointing his gun at Zulauf's head ,
said : "I'll blow your d d head off. "
Then followed a race for life Into
town , Zulauf probably getting as much
speed out of the racer as ho ever did
on any track , and the enraged Indi
vidual whipping his team to Its full
speed but dropping behind more out
of range at every step. Near Mohr's
lumber yard , where Zulauf was block
ed by teams In the road , the assailant
caught up with him , but by this time
ho seemed to have changed his mind
about shooting and passed on after
uttering dire threats as to what he
would do the next time.
Then the man went to a saloon near
by where Marshall Bartlett was wait
ing for him. As ho came In the mar
shal grabbed the man and wrested the
revolver from him and then marched
him off to the cooler to think It over ,
Chief of Police Flynn went to Pierce
at noon to bring to Norfolk Julius
Lehman , who flied the shots at Horse
man Zulauf as the latter was driving
home from the race grounds. Leh
man Is a hea\y drinker and his friends
In Norfolk believe that he suffered
sudden dementia us he came in con
tact with the horseman near Pierce.
If his condition warrants It , an effort
will be made by his family to send him
to the state hospital for Insane at Lin
coln as a dipsomaniac.
MARRIAGES ILLEGAL.
Five Thousand Weddings at Hammond ,
! nd. , Pronounced Void.
Chicago , Nov. 11. Five thousand
marriages of Chicago couples which
have been performed In Hammond ,
Ind. , within the last five years , were
declared to be Illegal , In an opinion
rendered yesterday at Hammond by
Attorney Lowdon 0. Bomberger to
Ernest L. Shortrldge , clerk of the cir
cuit and superior courts.
In his opinion , he holds that licenses
Issued by the superior court In Lake
county , located at Hammond , are Is
sued without legal authority , and that
the only court of Lake county which
Is empowered to Issue licenses , Is the
circuit court at Crown Point.
If ho Is right 5,000 couples who have
sought the aid of the kindly laws of
Indiana during the past flvo years ,
and had the knot tied nt Hammond ,
Iwvo been living together without le
gal sanction. The possible complica
tions of a legal character alone which
would follow such a state of affairs
nro Innumerable.
The revelation has been brought
about by a long fight between the jus
tices of the peace of Hammond and
those of Crown Point for the lucrative
business of marrying couples , who go
from Chicago to Indiana to avoid the
Illinois law requiring divorced por-

TAKES THE PLACE OF THE LOCAL
PASSENGER TRAIN.
STARTS NEXT MONDAY MORNING
The Morning Passenger Out of Nor
folk Will be Replaced With a Motor
Cap Service That Will Carry Pas
sengers Only.
Motor car service on the Bonesteel
line will go Into effect Monday as one
of the features of a new time card ef
fective next Sunday. The new car
will run between Bonesteel and Nor
folk and will be substituted for trains
N'o. 403 and 404 , running on the same
schedule as the train which It re
places.
The motor car represents the latest
development made In the railroad
world to meet the problem of trans
portation on local lines. The car
which will be placed on the Bonesteel
line next Monday Is the first motor
car to be purchased by the Northwest
ern. During the past few weeks It
has been given a successful trial on
the Fremont-York line.
The new car is driven by a gasoline
engine , carries seventy -eight people
comfortably , Is heated by hot water
and lighted by acetylene gas.
The car Is modern In every respect
and just now is the last word on the
subject of handling light traffic satis
factorily.
Railroad men are watching the new
cars closely because the Innovation
Is believed to mean a revolution In
local passenger traffic. The Union Pa
cific has been the flrst company to put
the cars on the market and Is using
them on a score or so of their branch
lines where they are said to be giving
good service.
The new car will be brought to Nor
folk next Saturday afternoon from
Fremont where It has had temporary
use on the Fremont-York line. Hav
ing stood all tests It Is brought to this
city for permanent use on the north
line. Its use Is an experiment on the
part of tlio x Northwestern and may
foreshadow the purchase of a number
of other similar cars.
The motor car will bo limited to
passenger service. It will not carry
mall , baggage or express.
The car will run on the old sched
ule , leaving Norfolk Junctlsn at 7:30 :
a. m. and arriving In Bonesteel at
12:20 : p. m. , leaving Bonesteel nt 2:15 :
p. m. and arriving In Norfolk at 7:15 :

THE SENATOR SAYS HE WILL NOT
RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
WOULD NOT ACCEPT NOMINATION
Effort of the Bee to Placa Him Befort
the People as the Democratic Candi
date Is "Just Writing. " Without
Foundation.
Will William V. Allen of Madison be
the next democratic nominee for gov
ernor ? No , not If the senator knows
anything about it.
"Allen For Governor" formed the
subject for a half column dlscusfllon
In the Omaha Bee. Senator Allen ,
who was up from Madison yesterday ,
said the matter was "nonsense. "
" " Senator Allen's
"Just writing , was
comment In Norfolk. "Nothing In It.
I would not accept the nomination. I
have always appreciated the honors
that have been given mo but I have
served In office enough. "
Senator Allen's friends , while they
admit that Nebraska couldn't place
many better men In the governor's
office , don't put any faith In boom talk
for the ox-senator. Senator Allen ,
they say , Is "out of politics" In ofllce-
fllllng senso.
This Is the Bee's Allen boom :
"Jim Dahlman will never run for
governor on the democratic ticket at
least not in 1908 , " asserts an Omaha
democrat , who professes to bo In the
confidence of the "powers that be"
In the house of democracy.
"Shall I tell you who will be ? " he
continued. "Well , William V. Allen
has been decided on as the man ; the
only question is whether the former
senator will accept the nomination.
"I have it on the best authority thai
this is the card decided on by Mr ,
Bryan and other leaders of the fusion
forces In Nebraska at a recent confab ,
one held since the election , and that
all plans for the campaign will be
shaped toward that end. The under
standing Is that ex-Senator Allen will
agree to run under proper pressure ,
Bryan , I am told , has said that Dahl
man Is simply out of the question , not
a possibility , and while he and 'Jim'
are still good friends , he cannot be
made to see that 'Jim' would stand a
ghost of a show running for governor.
The results of Tuesday's election In
Omaha confirm that view. "
"Does Bryan construe the election
in Omaha and Douglas county as re
flecting the public sentiment toward
the Dahlman city administration ? "
was asked.
"How could he help It ? " was the
reply. "This" Is the first time the people
ple who elected Dahlman have had
since his election to express their
opinion of him and his government ,
and they expressed themselves. "
"How about 'the sting of Ingrati
tude , ' that is In case of Allen's candi
dacy , would Gilbert M. Hitchcock sup
port him personally and with his pa
per ? "
"Now , you're asking some ques
tions , my friend ; you're getting down
now to the real subject matter. I'm
sure I can't tell whether the 'sting of
Ingratitude' would be felt In that case
or not. It might be that , owing to the
same political ambition and conditions
which have forced him to smother the
sting and get behind Bryan more than
once , Mr. Hitchcock would see fit to
lend an unwilling support to the Allen
candidacy. But there Is no doubt he
has never forgotten that Governor
Poynter , at the Instigation of Bryan ,
who telegraphed from Texas , appoint
ed W. V. Allen as a populist and not
G. M. Hitchcock , as a democrat to
the United States-senate to fill the va
cancy occasioned by a death. Well ,
Mr. Hitchcock may have a chance to
show us what he would do.
"You see , there Is much method In
the madness of this scheme. The
democrats or Mr. Bryan must resecuro
control of the populist vote In Ne
braska. It Is all well and good to say
there Isn't a populist party , may be
not , but there are populists just the
same , and one thing Is plainly evident ,
the democrats did not swing those
pops to their man Loomls last Tues
day. Nobody is more keenly aware
of this fact than Mr. Bryan. And Mr.
Bryan knows that before 1903 It would
bo a good thing for him to get his arm
around the recalcitrants. "

In That Much Time T. S. Allen DIs
posed of a Law Suit , Bought a Lunch
and Talked Politics to a News Re
porter.
T. S. Allen of Lincoln , chairman oi
the state democratic committee and
brothcr-ln-law to W. J. Bryan , did the
real hurry-up act In Norfolk Monday
noon.
noon.Mr.
Mr. Allen was in Norfolk two mlii <
utes. In that time he disposed of a
law suit , bought a lunch and saved a

ample of the republicans In maintain
ing permanent headquarters during
the months preceding the presidential
canvass. Mr. Allen stated that the

temporarily but would be opened again
in Lincoln by the first of the year.
"Tho heavy vote that was cast this
year Indicates something of the stren
uous campaign that will be on for the
presidential fight , " Mr. Allen remark
ed. "The vote lu this state was larger
than expected. As to the election
Itself Reese's success was Indicated
in advance hut we were surprised at
his majority. Reese , however , re
ceived a big populist vote from men
who thought that he had been badly
treated In the past and saw a chance
to even up scores with those who had
once turned htm down.
"Tho national campaign in a way Is
almost on us. The national commit
tees will meet next month. By Febru
ary the flrst state conventions will be
meeting. Our own convention will
come in the spring.
"And about Bryan ? Well , that can't
bo discussed now. Nor the presiden
tial situation. There are too many
things that may happen in the next
few months. "
Chairman Allen came to Norfolk In
his capacity as attorney for the Mod
ern Woodmen In the $2,000 Insurance
suit brought by Mrs. Hannah Bryant
of this county. The case was to have
como before Judge Welch at Nellgh
on a motion but Mrs. Bryant's attor
ney , Senator Allen of Madison , met
the democratic chairman at the Junc

Issue go before Judge Welch on briefs ,
Then the chairman , who had just como
In from Fremont , grabbed a quick-or
der lunch and caught the return train
