Paving Cost Very Small.
As suggested by The News yestei
day , the' mayor and council have al
ready received an estimate as to th <
probable cost of paving Norfolk in
onuo. In response to a letter from L
Roes yesterday , the llgures brough
out in the estimate are printed in te
day's News.
A representative of the J. S. Woi
ley Co. , engineers , Kansas City , Mo
was in the city recently and made ai
estimate of the probable cost of bricl
paving. This cost would be , he estl
mated , $2.05 per square yard. Tha
would mean a total cost of $143.50 fo
a 212-foot lot. As this can be paid ii
installments of one-tenth through ;
period of ten years , the cost would b
$14.ir ; > after llfty days , $14.35 at th
end of the lirst year , and $14.35 a yea
for eight years.
It will bo surprising to some t
know that the total cost of the pavin
from the river to Seventh street woul
bo only about JHS.UOO. One Norfol
property owner yesterday was afrai
it would reach $400.000.
The cost of paving the seven stree
intersections would bo about $7,50 (
The cost of the balance , not includin
street intersections , would be abou
$30.500.
Norfolk avenue is 100 feet wid <
The sidewalks are sixteen feet wide
and the gutters six feet wide , whlc
loaves hut a . "iG-foot street to pave. I
is planned to leave the curb and gn' '
tors as they are. But allowing for on
foot off on each gutter , and paving
58-foot street , this leaves but sevent
square yards to be paved by each 21
foot lot.
This estimate of $2.05 per squar
yard is based on the following mate
rial for paving : Concrete foundatioi
1'yinch sand cushion , vitrified pavin
block and cement liller , together wit
all expansion joints , and including a
grading and rolling.
Mr. Rees will be pleased at the lei
cost of the paving , as brought out 1
this competent estimate. He stated t
The News yesterday that ho would b
willing to pave if the cost would nc
exceed $10 per front foot. And thi
estimate shows a cost of only $6.5
per front foot.

PATHS TO BE APART.
Bryan and Dahlman Reach Parting of
the Ways.
Omaha , Feb. 15. Mayor Dahlman
avowed democratic candidate for gov
ernor , for years has traveled along the
. aaio political road with William J.
Bryan , but now they have reached the
point where they must separate , and
all because Bryan has declared for
county option. Speaking of Bryan's
declaration , Dahlman said ,
i " 1 am greatly disappointed because
' of the position Mr. Bryan has takou.
However , It will not change my plans
i relative to running for governor. It
! puts Governor Shallenbcrger and my
self In the same hod. For years I
1 have fought side by side with Bryan ,
and have been one of his greatest ad
mirers. Now wo must separate and
become political enemies , for 1 am
strenuously oposcd to county option ,
being- llrm believer In personal lib
erty.
"Of course the declaration of Bryan
means a hitter light In the democratic
, state convention , especially upon the
; matter of platform , and while I cannot -
; not give an opinion that is worth anything -
' thing , 1 don't believe a county option
plank can bo adopted. If It should
bo It Is dllllcult to predict the result.
In the event the democratic conven
tion should declare for county option ,
1 do not know what would happen.
"Bryan will have a following , but It
Is hard to estimate what It will be ,
though I do not think it will be very
large , for the democratic party Is
made up of a liberal element.
j "No doubt but Bryan's course will
j cost the democratic party some votes ,
but at the same time it-will bring
over a lot of republicans who are ad
hering to the principles of personal
liberty. "
A GUN PLAY.
Family Mlxup Ends in a Near-Shooting
at Oxnard Hotel.
Considerable gun play was the fea
ture of a sensational family mix-up
when Ray Warner of Miles City ,
Mont. , his father-in-law , Charles Lan-
tis of Garland , Mont. , and Lillie E.
Angelton of Lincoln came together
at the Oxnard hotel. The Angelton
woman is said is the wife of Warner
who followed her here and found that
a Norfolk man had been keeping com
pany with her.
The trio met in the Angolton wo
man's room. Her father.it is said , was
about to call the police , but was stop
ped by Warner who backed against the
door with a revolver in his hand. Ho
was too slow , however , as Lantis had
a bead on him with another revolver
pressed against Warner's chest. In
some way news of what was going on
in the room leaked out and Warren
McClary , day clerk at the hotel , rushed
up to the room and found the three
people in one room. He immediately
demanded that Warner turn tlio re
volver , then laying on tlio floor , over
to him. Warner obeyed and the wo
man made a dash for the dresser
drawer where McClary caught her by
the hand and forced her to give up the
revolver which was hidden there. Mc
Clary then demanded that Lantis deliver -
, liver his gun which he did after a
long argument.
"This Is the llrst time In my life , "
" 1 ever disarm-
said Lantis. "that was
I ed. "
The three people left for Slonx City
and it is belived that their troubles
have been patched up between them.

the coming fight will be a clean-cut

same , so that the good name of the
state may not bo Injured by a bitter
controversy with the personalities
which so often accompany such a con
test. "

LONG CHASE FOR MURDERER.
Spectacular Pursuit Over Frozen
Plains of South Dakota.
Aberdeen , S. D. , Feb. 15. Worn thin
with his ten weeks' exertion , without
an ounce of superllous llesh upon his
gaunt frame , Carey Benson arrived in
Aberdeen from his long chase in pur
suit of young Daniel Gant , the Texas
cowboy who , on Thanksgiving day ,
1909 , murdered Lewis Maxwell at En-
glovale , N. D. , and then lied with Sanv
uel Gant , a younger brother. Samuel
Gant was captured near Newark , S. D. ,
a few days later , but Daniel escaped.
Among the posse who look up tire
chase at Newark was Benson , who had
known the Gant boys of old , having
ridden the range with them. In Wai-
worth county all trace of the fugitive
was lost and the various posses gave
up the pursuit , all but Benson. Thu
latter , knowing the Standing Rock res
ervation so well , was confident he
could eventually capture Garrt. In a
short time ho was rewarded by again
finding his trail. The man had suc
ceeded in crossing the Missouri river ,
Benson followed. For miles arrd miles ,
over the snow-covered ground , the
murderer lied for his life , and his
pursuer doggedly continued on the
trail.
Finally , late last week , Gant suc
ceeded In eluding Iris pursuer , though
at times Benson had been so close
behind his quarry that the water holes
broken through the lee by Garrt in
order to secure water for himself and
iris iiorso , had irot yet frozen over
when Benson carne up. At times Gant
threw farmers off the sent by repre
senting himself to bo Benson , and st
curing supplies in that way.
Benson heard Gant had taken the
back trail and had managed to got
to Watertown , S. D. , where ho had
purchased a ticket to Minneapolis ,
Benson stated he had wired the Min
neapolis authorities ami ho expected to
hoar at any minute of Cunt's capture.
The killing of Maxwell was the re
sult ot a quarrel over wages , and
many claim Haul was not to blame and
would ha\o boon acquitted had ho
remained at Knglovalo to stand trial.
