Spe cial ) After Myron Kassett had be on wounded by Roberts county c fixers and had surrendered to thorn today, a comrade, whose name is not known, suddenly appeared, opened fire on the sheriff's party. rescued Bassett and fled with himJ in a Dig autoinoone oeionging to me two men. Bassett left South Dakota several years ago to evade arrest on a lar ceny charge, and recently returned with a comrade, the two having in their possession an automobile. The bondsmen of Bassett today notified the authorities of his return to the stjate, and Deputy Sheriff Art Jack son and States Attorney Frank Mc Komia went to the home of S. N. Thompson, a farmer, to arrest Bas rett. Mrs. Thompson is a sister of Bassett. She denied her brother was in the house. They searched the downstairs rooms and then started upstairs, but found the door was locked. They ordered Bassett to open the door, which he did, at the same time opening fire on the officers. A hole was shot in the deputy sheriff's hat and Bassett was wounded in the shoulder. Bassett then surrendered and was compelled to empty his pockets, which contained some bank papers and a small amount of cash. At this juncture Bassett's pal ap peared on the scene, coining from upstairs and taking: the officers com pletely by surprise. He opened fire or. the officers and compelled them to leave the farm to seek assistance. The two men then entered the au tomobile and made their escape. They had gone but a short distance when an accident to the car com pelled them to abandon it. At the point of guns they compelled a young man named Rustad to take them into his car. They had gone only a few miles when a wheel broke at a curve in the road, and the three men left the automobile and Bassett and his pal disappeared on foot. It developed that Bassett had several hundred dollars sewed in his shirt which the officers overlooked. Police Get Gruesome Tip; Refuse to Search Cemetery Citizens Say Whisky Is "Planted" in Groves by Sex ton, Who Delivers it to Agents in Automobiles Job Too Big for Coppers. Omaha police last night refused to arrest a bootlegger.' They re fused to "have anything to do with him," refused even to curtail his traffic in contraband. Thus far he is the one bootlegger in Omaha whom police openly re fuse to prosecute. Two citizens appeared at Central station last night and volunteered to show the police what they called the most extensive bootlegging cen ter in the citv. ' They explained that the sexton in charge of a certain cemetery in Omaha is the man who conducts the illicit traffic. "Sometimes cars drive into the cemetery with flowers for graves," explained the informants. "The driver of the car places the offerings on the mounds and then motors over to the sexton's house. The sexton joins him and they motor to some freshly-made grave and there ex hume part of the remains of Old John B. Corn. The sexton covers the grave again and delivers the whisky to the driver of the car. "Each time a customer comes, the sexton gets the whisky out of a dif ferent grave." That last bit of information was enough for the coppers. "Do you want us to get a squad of police and search every grave in the cemetery?" queried one. "The newspapers would 'ride" us to death," was the sage comment of another. "If that sexton wants to bootleg we'll have to let him do it he's one fellow that has complete protection." The two citizens promised to swear to the truth of their allega tions, but no copper could be found who would search a grave for liquor. Even the state agents balked. Robbed by Maid. Mrs. F. C. Dexter, Nathan apart ments, Sixteenth street and Willis avenue, reported to the police last night that a new maid whom she hired yesterday, quit her employ last night, taking a $300 diamond solitaire.

Criticising President Wilson today in the sen ate for his negotiations at Paris, Senator Poindexter, republican, Washington, declared that by "gen eral phrases" the president had "aroused aspirations which he is in capable of satisfying." "Quoting from his propaganda," said Senator Poindexter, "the com munists demand, under threat of revolution, that the railroads be given, at public expense, into the possession and management of the operatives and employes. Making World of Disorder. "It is as though the president has received the world as a toy and pro ceeded to take it apart in order to reconstruct it on a new plan. He has declared the end of the old or der and substitutes for it the new disorder." Senator Poindexter said the presi dent had trespassed on the constitu tional powers of congress, neglected his duties in domestic affairs and used his official influence "to tres pass upon independent jurisdiction of the states of California and Utah, by attempting to interfere with the course of justice in those states." "The constitution vests in con gress exclusive control of foreign trade," said Senator Poindexter. "The president has entered into a compact whereby the supervision of the trade of the United States in munitions of war shall be vested in a league of nations. Cannot Increase Army. "The constitution vests in congress unlimited power 'to raise and sup port armies' and 'to provide and maintain a navy'. The president has negotiated a covenant whereby when the status of the army and navy has been fixed, the same can not be increased without the per mission of the league of nations. "He has attempted to set up a government separate and apart from the government of the United States with distinct and foreign powers of its own, and has agreed, in article 16 of the its constitution, that the United States shall be subject to its coercion should the United States declare war contrary to its decrees."
