respectively 20 and 1". of Council Bluffs,
were married In an open automobile truck
in a pouring rain on an open road In
Pottawattamie county a mile north of the
southern boundary at 1 o'cloc': Thursday
morning.
Young Jones l a son of Z. T. Jones,
proprietor of a transfer and Mn business.
His bride Is a sister of Mrs. Charles Hd
dons, 733 Avenue R, at whose home she
lived until a few hours before her marriage.
The bride was an employe of the Bennett
store,. Omaha.
Fearing that Mr. Jones' parents and his
bride's guardians might not approve their
marriage, Uie,. young people planned an
elopement to Fremont, Neb., In one of the
elder Jones' trucks. The father got word
of the plot and gave full consent, accom
panying his son and Miss Saunders to the
court hpuxe, where the license was Issued,
Miss Saunders' age being given as IS.

(Hill fearing objections of Mrs. Slddons,
the pair decided to leave her out of their
confidence Late Wednesday evening they
drove to Olenwood. Mills county. In one
of the Jones trucks and there asked Rev.
Mr. Graves, formerly of Council Bluffs,
to make them husband and wlfo. Mr.
raves had the ceremony half performed
when he discovered the license had' been
Issued In Pottawattamie county. He stop
ped rljtht there. He couldn't marry them
In Mills county under a Pottawattamie
license.
An attempt was made to secure a Mills
county license, but the clerk remarked.
'Nay, nay," gently but firmly, when the
youngsters admitted that Miss Saunders
wus not of legal age. lie said she must
have the conwnt of parents or guardians.
Jones propoHrd that the minister board
the truck with him and hla sweetheart,
ride Into PottawatUmin with them and
there make them one. Ho hesitated, but
after some pleading agreed.

When the party was six miles from
Pottawattamie county (ne gasoline Supply
became exhausted. Jones walked two miles
to a farm house to telephone to the Gray
garage at Council Bluffs and have some
gasoline sent out. The telephone refused
to work -until It had been coaxed a half
hour. At last a connection was secured
and the gasoline waa sent out.
The party proceeded across the county
line and the marriage was solemnised. The
rain fell In torrents. The wind howled.
There was more or less thunder. - The
lightning flashed. There wasn't even an
umbrella In the crowd. With difficulty
the marriage license was signed In the rain.
As It turned out Mrs. Slddons had no
particular objections to the match. Friday

oared higher In ihe glr today than any
aeroplane ever has ben and set a new
world's record of ll.TStt feet. Philip O.
Parmelee followed him, passing the former
An erica n ' record and reached 10.SJ7 feet
before he as forced to descend.
Both bsrographs were corrected by Csp
tsln Ctarence Culver of the i'lfth I'nlted
States cavalry and certified by the execu
tive committee of the international meet.
International ulea of aviation, according
to Q. F. C. Wood, secretary of the Aero
Club of America, provide that an aviator
must fly at least 100 meut-s feet) higher
than any previous record before he shall
have been declared to have established a
new record.
The world's record was 10,761 feet, made
by M. Lorldun at Mourruelon, Fiance, July
t, l'jll. Captain Felix recently, flew to a
height' of 11,161 feet at Ktamps, France,
but hie flight has not yet been accepted
as official. Ralph Johnstone set the former
American mark t Belmont park, New
Vork, Ootobor t. ttl, at 10.471 feet.
James Ward and Karle Ovtngton, flying
at comparatively low levels, both had nar
row escapes from death. The propeller of
Ward's maohlne broke Into a hundred
pieces aa he flew before the grand stand
and pleoes of wood tore the canvas, but
the aviator held tight and brought his
maohlne wobbling to the ground. Oving-
ton with hla engine stopped, not quite able
to reach shore, found a landing place In
five feet of water, from which he escaped
with no other Injury than a ducking.
Said to Have Chopped
Off Finger So as to
Be Let Out of Army
Charged with deliberately and wilfully
chopping off the Index finger of his right
hand With an ax to Incapacitate hlinnolf for
duty, Private Walter' J. Morse, Company
It. signal corps, will be brought to trial
before the general court-martial at Fort
Crook Tuesday morning. It Is alleged he
Employed this extreme means o secure his
discharge from the army. The case Is one
of the mos remarkable In military history,
army men say.
Morse, who la stationed at Fort Omaha,
cut oft the flngir on July 14. It can be
proved, it la said, that he threatened to
cut oft his whole hand It necessary to
get cut of the army.
The puxxllng purt of the situation la the
fact that the case comes under no rules
and regulations set down for the court
martial board. The only law governing It
Iti the fifty-second article lif war, which'
stales that any soldier who wilfully In
capacitates himself for duty Can be sen
tenced as the court-mtrtlal board shall
direct. It It can be proved that he delib
erately cut off the finger, Morse will be
liable to severe punishment.
Major F. ' A. Dale of the medical corps,
Is head of the board and Lieutenants K.
Cowan and'Hartlgan are members. First
Lieutenant Harris Is acting aa attorney for
several men being tried. '
Morse' j dJ!3,wlli give 'opportunity to
establish a precedent. The charge will be
a hard ono to prove and the question of
punishment will he still harder. One of
ficer of the poard declares that even If
gull I y ho should be given inly six month
Imprisonment, and then should be made
to learn to shoot with his second finger.

men were found to have taken refuge on an
Island or large saudbar la the river, and
shotM wero exchanged with them. Accord
ing to the sheriff's report the posse was
deemed too small properly to surround the
bar which was densely covered with !
wilows, and the rush for the capture of the !
men was deferred for reinforcements.. Dur- I
ing this wait the heavy storm that pre
vailed yesterday afternoon came up, ac
companied by blinding clouds of dust. The '
men took advantage of the semi-darkness :
and t he dense screen of dutit to break
through the thin line of guards and escape !
unseen. When the storm abated and the
sandbar w aa rushed only the tracks of
the men were found. .
Sheriff Rock and his men have no doubt
that the men sought, are the murderers.
The storm demoralized the wires In that
portion' of the country, making it diffioult
to get Information.
Sheriff Rock went to Mondamin to hold
himself ready to resume the hunt this
mornlnir. V
Last night the Omaha police department
was watching all Incoming trains and all
bridges and arresting all suspicious charac
ters, who by any possibility might be the
murderers.
