THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1919. "J.: OBTAIN $35,000 ATTACHMENT ON CATTLEJN YARDS Shipment of Live Stock From New Mexico Rancher Held Pending Suit in Dis. trict Court. An attachment for $35,000 on 263 head of cattle now in the hands of Clay, Robinson & Co., South Side live stock commission house, was issued yesterday afternoon by Dis trict Judge Estelle. The cattle were 'shipped here by .the Kern Land & Cattle Co. of New Afexirn and the attachment is the outgrowth of an , . alleged seizure of a large herd of cattle in New Mexico in 1916. Suit was brought yesterday in district court by Thomas J. Dona hue against H. A. Jastro, Wallace Birchfield. Victoria Land & Cattle Co. and the Kern Land & Cattle Co. for, $35,840. The attachment was issued in support of the suit. Jastro, it is stated, is the owner of the two cattle companies. Donahue alleges that on May 25, 1916, he and a number of cowboys in his employ were driving 2,400 head of cattle from International Monument No. 66, on the Mexican border, to Hachita, N. M., for ship ment. When near the High . Lone some ranch, he says, they were stopped by agents of Jastro with a demand for payment of $10,000, which Jastro alleged to be due to him. He says they threatened to drive his cattle across the border into Old Mexico, where, at that time, there were thousands of insur rectos and Villistas. As he didn't have enough cowboys to resist the demands, he says, he paid $5,000. He says that while the cattle were in the hands of Jastro's agents they lost 239, of which he recovered only 93, and he asks $5. 840 for these. He also asks $25,000 . damages for his trouble. Owners of Wrecked Blimp Agree to Pay Expenses of Disaster Chicago, July 24. G. M. Stadel i man, vice president of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., owners of the ,' ill-fated dirigible which cost 13 lives and the injury of 28 other persons, when it burned and crashed through the skylight of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank Monday, has issued a statement through his attorney, saying the company will pay all financial expenses caused by the ac cident, entirely of its own free will. "Any families who have suffered because of this accident will only have to present the bills to our company to have them paid," the statement said. "Irrespective of what the investigations may disclose as to our responsibility, we wish to be allowed to afford all possible ; facilities for the care of the persons ' and families afflicted." Because of the lack of law cov ering the blimp case, it is probable there will be no criminal prosecu tion, Coroner Hoffman said today, "but it will lead to the passage of rigid flying laws," he declared. The investigations which were adjourned yesterday will be resumed Friday. , , More Omahans Arrive in New York From Overseas Corp.

HARRIET OLSON WANTED TASTE OF LIFE IN CITY Farm Girl Arrested After So journ of Three Hours in Omaha; Returned to Parents. A race between a passenger train and an automobile rivaling anything the movies ever attempted in that line was enacted yesterday after noon between Rising City, Neb. and Omaha, when Mr. and Mrs.- John OJson of Rising City pursued their daughter, Harriet, who had shaken the dust of the old farm from her heels and set out by train for Omaha. Harriet was taken into custody at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Detectives Franks and Graham and turned over to her parents. Yesterday morning Harriet rose in the still dawn, hitched father's best steed to the shay and bade good bye to the old farm. A cloud of dust announced her departure for the big city. Father and mother borrowed a neighbor's rig and started in pur suit. Harriet reached Rising City in time to catch the train for Omaha, in fact she had almost too much time. Father and mother hove into sight far down the road just as the train pulled out for the metropolis. They commandeered an automobile and followed. Harriet arrived in Omaha at noon, father and mother at 3 o'clock. Detectives Franks and Graham were put on Harriet's trail and 10 minutes later she was apprehended at Sixteenth and Spring streets with a girl friend. "I'll run away again," she sobbed, stamping a dainty little foot. "I have to work hard on the farm all day and then when evening comes I have to sit around and can't go out like the other girls do. I don't get any nice clothes, either. Everything is so quiet and dead down on the farm in the evening. I want to live in a big city." Mr. and Mrs. Olson took their places at the stde of Harriet and started for the old farm. Harriet pouted but offered no resistance. Omahans to Take Part in Balloon Flights at St. Louis, This Fall The announcement that a pri vately owned balloon, manned by A. Leo Stevens, balloon instructor, and Lt. Col. Jacob W. S. Wuest, com manding officer at Fort Omaha, will enter the international balloon races for distance and altitude at St. Louis October 1, was made yesterday at Fort Omaha. Arrangements have been made by Mr. Stevens with the Goodyear Rubber Co. of Dayton, O., for the manufacture of an 80,000 cubic feet balloon which will be used in mak ing the flight. Mr. Stevens left last evening for Dayton to complete de tails of 'the purchase. The balloon will cost $10,000. That Colonel Wuest may find it necessary to doff his silver leaf tem porarily, in view of the fact that a special army order is neces sary to. permit an army officer to compete in a civilian meet, is thought probable. The colonel is awaiting advices from Washington on the subject. He says he will enter regardless. The St. Louis meet was arranged some months ago. It will be the first great aviation contest since the Taris gathering, when balloons from all parts of the world competed for the James Gordon Bennett tup and approximately $10,000, in prizes. Entrants from France, England, Italy, Switzerland and Spain are expected.
