skin of hia teeth. Malone had a hunch
that Crowe cu In Lincoln, and while he
went to the ofilce of Frank Gallagher, asso
ciate editor tiie Indrwndent, expectlnc
Croe to c.l there, the elusive Pat was
locked In the private office of R. L Met
calfe, editor of ti.e Com-noner.
Crowe called at the Commoner office
about I.JO o'ciocK v.a'ked to the window
leading to the business office and asked
for a private sonfTer.. with Mr. Metcalfe.
Metcalfe readily consented to the confei
ence, not knowing r-ti Ma caller waa.
Wien arknd coneern'ng the vlsi cf the
alleged kidnaper Mr. Metcalfe aald:
"Pat Crowe called upon mc yeatcruay
af'.e'noon and stayed an hour. When they
came In and told me om.i one wanted to
see me, of course I had no Idea who It
waa, nor did 1 recogrflre my visitor when
I i hl.n. he had changed Bo much In
appea.ance. He did not look a great deal
oloer, but had ga'nel so much in weight.
Hut 'ie p.oved to me before he left that
he waa ncne other than Pat Crowo. When
I entered the ro-m, without taking any
thought cf the matter, I left the door open.
Crowe Immediately got up and locked the
door, time securing fcimeelf and me In the
room. What be wanted I do not kno , ex
cept that he asked for a square meal anj I
gave It to him. I knew Crowe when I
waa a police reporter and I knew his broth
era well. There could be no mistake about
my caller being Pat Crowe. While he waa
In my office aeveral people cane to th
door, but Crowe didn't show any signs of
uneasiness. . I am. satisfied Crowe left the
city."
Oetecthra Malone and all the police of
Lincoln are looking for Pat Crowe and
have been looking for him since notified
of his visit to Metcalfe. Knowing that
Fat had made a practice of calling upon
Frank Gallagher while he was a reporter

sure Pat would call at the Independent

Malone stUI believes that the alleged kid
napper Is In Lincoln and expects to land
Mm In Jail before he has an opportunity
to get out of town,
Mr. Metcalfe waa editor of the World
Herald before going to the Commoner. Mr.
Gallagher, associate editor of Berge's In

half of measures In which the people were
Interested, and those who watched him on

nent chairman, and as Lieutenant Gover
nor McGllton has been chosen for tht
former place, they believe Sheldon should
be hor&red wlfnthe other one. ''

unfair and unlawful assessments." The

day afternoon were: H. H. Phil pott, staff
correspondent for The Bee at Lincoln, and
II. T. Dobbins, editor of the Lincoln News.
They were called upon to identify articles
appearing in their respective papers and
to ascertain upon what basis the writers
of the articles relating to the proceedings
of the -State Board of Equalization de
rived their authority.

When the "Alamo" song was flrst sprung
oo the public it put all the other whistling
tunes out of business for the time at
least. It has lost little of Its popularity,
and it is only one of the many airs that
have contributed to tbe success of "The
Tenderfoot." which opens an engagement

company is an exceptionally good one this
season, with Oscar Figman in the role of
Prof. Pettlbone, the tenderfoot, ifltm Ruth

his make-up and manners of springing In
tensify to fever heat. The first of the
mid-week matinees will be given on Thurs
day. Among the many good things on the
program are Schepp's dogs and ponies, an
act that not only delights adults, but Is

ERE AND OSTROM ON BALLOT
Placed en Ticktt bj Drexel Upon Opinion
ef Elsbangb.
COUNTY ATTORNEY SEES NO 0BSTACLI
Clerk Says His Purpose All Along
Was to Be Fair mad Right
to All Interests
Involved.
On an opinion from County Attorney
Blabaugh, County Clerk Drexel has de
cided he will put the najiies of William
O. JL're and Henry Qstrom on the primary
election ballot. Discussing the matter Mon
day evening. Mr. Ostrora said:
"I feel that the candidates for 'this
office have a right to run, under Judge
Redlck's decision. Evidently certain mem
bers of the Board of County Commissioners
think differently. Then it become a ques
tion of putting your money out for every
step you take in the campaign. The law
certainly never contemplated this, and I
object to that sort of a proposition,
naturally."
At a conference Monday afternoon County
Clerk Drexel told Messrs. Lre and Ostrom
and County Auditor Smith that he had
made up his mind to consult the county
attorney about the question.
"All I object to," said Mr. Drexel, "is
that It looks at present as if the county
I commissioners man ted to nominate me to
hold the sack, and if I have to do that I
will hold it right. But I desire to be fair
to all parties concerned, and the county at
torney's opinion will be good enough for
me."
Slabangh Reaches Decision.
In accordance with this declaration, the
county clerk held a consultation with
Judge Blabaugh late Monday afternoon.
The latter took the evening to look up ths
status of the law and on Tuesday morning
went to the office of the county clerk and
gave it as his opinion that Mr. Drexel
should put the names on the primary bal
lot, with certain exceptions to be embodied
In the ballot for the various precincts of
the Fifth commissioner district.
County Attorney Blabaugh said:
"It seems plain enough to me that the
names of these candidates should go on
the ballot in the. district as formerly de
fined, with this qualification: That In cer
tain precincts voters rbould be notified not
to vote for commissioner candidates. For
Instance, In the Second and Fourth pre
elms of the Eleventh ward voters should
be cautioned not to vote for commissioner
candidates, and In ths Fifth precinct of
the Ninth ward the notice should be to
this effect: 'Do not vote for commissioner
north of Chicago or east of Twenty-seventh
avenue, Chicago to Dodge, or east of
Twenty-seventh, north of Dodge to Far
nam, or east of Twenty-eighth street. Far
nam to Dewey.'
"I ibink that with these Instructions
compiled with there is not likely to be
apy complication and I have so advised the
county clerk."
After receiving the verbal opinion of the
county attorney and looking over tbe map
as presented by Judge Blabaugh, Mr.
Drexel told Candidate Oeiroin that be
would follow the advice of tbe county at
torney and that no order of court would
be necessary to get ths names on the
primary ballot.
