public Tuesday when County judge Bryce
Crawford awarded judgment for damages
of fit) to Mrs. Pearl 8tcvene. owner of
the sold property, Edqulst A Carlson,
grocers, aie the defendanu in Mrs.
Steven's lawsuit
The original trouble over the goods oc
curred three months ago. Edqulst 4 Cart-
ton employed Charles C. Burdge, a bad
debt collector, to force Mrs. Stevens and
her husband, Grlf Stevens, to pay a K
account. Burdge started- suit In a South
Omaha justice court and attached the
property vt Mrs. Stevens. When Burdes
looked over the household goods which
had been attached be decided they were
not of value sufficient to satisfy the debt
and pay the costs, so he released them
front attachment
Mittendorf, nevertheless, sold the goods
at private sale. Edqulst ft Carlson re
ceived nothing, and 'were told that the
proceeds of the sale were sufficient only
to pay storage charges and Justice and
constable fees. .- . . .
Mrs. Stevens started suit for damages
.against Edqulst ft Carlson, and their at
torney. Burdge. and swore out a com
plaint against Mittendorf In Justice Leed
er'i court. Mittendorf was arrested, gave
bond and then dropped, from view. So
far as Is known he has not been seen nor
heard from sine his release on laid baiL
Mrs. Stevens was given - judgment
against the grocers on the. ground that
they started the action when the Stev
ensn were too poor to pay and bad no
property worth attaching and executing
upon. Judge. Crawford dismissed her suit
as to Burdge because he merely acted as
attorney for and under direction of the
grocerymen.
Charles L. Frltcher, attorney for Mit
tendorf, today said be supposes Mitten
dorf will not be back.
"I don't know where be Is,"' Bald Mr.
Frltcher, "I eouM not even swear It was
this that made him leave, but f suppose
It was. He could have stayed and fought
the case and won. though, for be had
perfect legal right to do just what ha

Canvass of Douglas
County Vote Now
Almost Completed
Complaints of Secretary of State Waits
snd other state officials that Douglas
county Is too slow In canvassing the re
turns of the general primary election of
April n were handled without gloves yes
terday by Sam Scott, clerk In the office
of County Clerk Frank Deaey. Mr. Scott
Is doing the clerical work tor the canvass
ing board, which after nearly a month
of work will finish Its totals and send
them to the secretary of state sometime
today.
"Tney make mo tired." said Mr. Scott.
"They howi about Douglas county be
Ing slow in canvassing the vote. Ttiry
don't know what they're talking aooiit.
Of course, Douglas Is the last county to
finish Its canvass. It always Is the last
and for good reason. It's very easy for
people who don't have a job of catu-ass-
Ing we have or who have to canvass for
some little county to sit back and cri
ticise. I'd Ilk to see them try their hand
at a canvass like this. I suppose tiiey
could do It in about ten minutes or fif
teen at Hie most.
"We had 14 names on tli republican
ballot, we had more than a hundred on
the democrat; the people's inepenJent and
the prohibition were about fifteen each.
and the socialist about forty. That's more
than 330 names on the printed ballots.
But that' not th worst of It. More than
SCO name nearly a thousand-were writ
ten In and had to be written In the ab
stract and Into the record books. But,
of course, that's nothing. Very simple
little job. They might also stop and
realise that we have had mneiy-two pre
cincts to canvass." ;

delightful printed crinkly fabric which makes the most
exquisite morning gowns, dressing sacques and street dresses
for yourself, and school dresses for the children, at a very

Trips are Expensive Letters Unsatisfactory
Railroad trips are tiresome and expensive, and letters never satisfac

that human touch of the living, laughing voice of a friend as one hears it

A Bell telephone in the home is not a luxury, not an extravagance,
