CITIZEN WHO BUTTS IN

Howard Laubach, oa His War to
Church," Intercedes with Police
,to Ills Sorrow.
" A case of mistaken Identity, a prisoner's
clever tumble and a sealous policeman
cam very nar allowing th prisoner to
escape and landing th Intervener in Jail
In his stead.
Howard Laubach, manager of the Twin
City Express company, was the lntervenor
and It wa he who, through his over
enthusiasm for friendship's sake, almost
went behind the bars.
Mr. Laubach was walking quietly along
South Sixteenth street Wednesday evening
on Ms way to prayer meeting at the
Castellar Street church. While on his way
he overtook the. police officer on that beat,
with whom he is slightly acquainted.
escorting to the station a man carrying a
suit case.
---The church goer immediately recognised,
ha thought, th man with the suit cuse as
George E. Parker, a . prominent South
Omaha stockman. Thinking there must
be some mistake about Mr. Parker's ar
rest he at ' once took s hand in the
game.
Walking up behind the officer h cor
dially slapped him on th shoulder, saying.
That's all right, officer; you don't need to-
arrest that' man. You can take my word
for It, you've got th wrong man."
Surprised and rather . Indignant at this
attempt ! to thwart Justice th officer
swung around and started to express his
mind. .Tha prisoner, however, beat him to
it. "Why, hello." he exclaimed. "How are
. youT I didn't expect to meet you out her."
About that time Mr. Laubach discovered
that th prisoner was not Mr. Parker; that
fa had never seen him before, In tact. Mr.
Officer became more tiled than ever when
he learned this and Mr. Laubach had to do
some ingenious talking before he was al
lowed to continue his way to prayer meet
ing. He didn't look good to the officer.
CORS IS IN HNE SHAPE
So Reports Snnerintendent Cahill
After an Inspection.
MEADOWS ABE DRYING UP
Official Has that All the Talk About
the Crops Delngf Rained is 2V ou
st ue and .ot to lie
Believed.
W. R. Cahlll, superintendent of the Ne
braska division of the Union Pacific, re
turned from a trip from the western points
of his division Thursday. Mr. Cahlll states
that the big talk about the Nebraska crops
being ruined or even hurt to any extent Is
not to be believed, as there ure hopes for
the largest corn yield that the state ever
had. Small crops are only doing fairly
well, but the only thing that has really suf
fered In his opinion along the lines of the
Union Pacific are the hay fields and
meadows.
"Crops all over the state looked to be
In fine shape to me and I think that an
average crop or larger will be harvested
this ye.ir. There are Indeed a few bad
places but the general run of the corn Is
so good that this will be easily made up."
"Many people are surprised t the targe
yield of wheat Nebraiika' had this year In
spite of the bad weather, but the fact that
there was a greater acreage- than usual
planted must be taken Into consideration.
Potatoes are In good condition everywhere
and the sugar beet crop, although the dry
weather has been hard on it, will, with
the Increased acreage, come up to the
average."
"The only damage that amounts to any
thing serious Is Che dry condition of the
pastures and meadows and the shortness
of the hay crop. The recent rains have
done some good to the grass, but the hay
will b small In comparison to last year."
More Hnln Falls.
Rain fell again In Nebraska Wednesday
night, heavy downpours having been re
ported In several places out in the state
and In the southern part of South Dakota.
This, with the showers the first part of
the week, ought to be sufficient for the
corn for a week or ten days.
From Long Pine to Nickerson, and from
Gordon to Alnsworth, on the Northwestern
road, heavy rains fell, and also west of
Fremont at several points. On the Bone
steel and Albion lines and at Bella Fourche,
S. D., fairly heavy showers were felt dur
ing the night Hall fell at Atkinson and
Basset.
On the Union Pacific an Inch of rain
fell at Grand Island, continuing as far
east as Schuyler, with heavy rains on the
branches north of Columbus and Grand
Inland.
An Inch of rain fell at Edgar, on the
Burlington line, and various quantities,
from a half Inch to one and one-half
Inches were reported as far as McCook.
From Lincoln to Clay Center, from one-
half Inch to one and one-quarter Inches
fell, the high mark of one and one-quarter
being reported at Sutton.

on Fifteenth street Thursday morning when
he was rushing by with his morning extras.
"Buy a paper," said tha kid, extending
one with a short grimy arm, clad in the
disintegrating shreds of shirtsleeve that
was once blue gingham.
The Lady Bountiful was shocked at the
condition of tnat sleeve.
"I had a little boy," she said, rather
sentimentally, "but he grew up and now
I've got a lot of nice boy's waists and I'd
like to give you one."
"Buy a paper," said the merchant, inde
pendently. "Is that the only shirt you've got 7" In

"Aw, gwan," said the boy, turning away.
" 'Course It's the only one I got I'm rich.
