STOPPED BY GIRL
Omaha Elopement Foments
Anger of Parent Father
and Groom Unreconciled
In Police-Court.
, i .
Dark-eyed Kettie Teakell Sesto,
17-year-old bride of one week, pre
vented a gun duel betwen her boy
'husband, Tony Sesto, 1901 South
. Fourteenth street, and her "father,
W. E. Teakell, 2223 DodgV street.
Thursday night at the Teaketl home,
' when husband and father drew guns

Police were called and arrested

Done. He was fined $25 and costs
', in Central police court yesterday.
' Mr. Teakell 'alone appeared against
him. The young wife waited at her
father's home tor tbye return of her
husband from police court.
Nettie's elopement last Saturday
with Tony caused the anger of the
father, police claim. The young
touple were married at Papillion,

companied his daughter and son-in-
law to Central station. ' Police held
Tony. Silently weeping, his young
wife left the station with her father.

v , with Tony in police court Thursday.
; QUESTION ARISES ,
OVER FILING FEE
' FOR CONVENTIONS
Meanwhile, Candidates From
, County Must Deposit $5 "
. Test Case oon.
.- . ,
Must a candidate for the-county
convention under the Reynolds law,
, passed by the last legislature, pay a
filing fee of $5? This is the problem
s which Election' Commissioner
Moorhead yesterday asked Chief
Deputy County Attorney Coffey to
' V decide, - ' . .
The new law provides for election
f of delegates Ho the- county conven
. tions of the big parties, one man
. a.nd one woman being elected from
. each precinct of each-county. It is
, designed to eliminate "handpicking"
, of the county convention.
. But nothing is, said ,of a filing
fee. The. statutes of the state stipu
late that fees shall be paid by can
didates filing for offices at the pri-
maries as follows: For United States
senator, $50; for state offices, mem
ber of congress and district judge,
- $10; for county, legislative and city
, ," offices, $5. ,
. Doubts ; Necessity of Fee.
"Is tne office of delegate to the
s eounty convention of a political
party, a county, legislative or city
office? That js the question to be de
cided," said if r. Coffey.
( "The statutes provide that no fil
ing fee shall be required from candi
dates for regent of the state univer
sity or fofl presidential elector. My
own personal yiew fro,m a cursory
'' examination of thcNsubiect is that no
" fees can be demanded from candi
dates filing for delegate to the coun
ty convention.- However. I have
"asked to have the whole subject pre-
t sented in writing and will then give
a definite decision after looking up
all sides of the question."
Those who sponsored the bill say
it was an oversight that no Clause
was put into it providing .that no
filing fee need be paid by candidates
-tor this office, which pays no salary,
' It is admitted that if a filing fee
is demanded there will be no candi
dates fortheoffins! .
Two Seriously Injured as -j,
, ,. Car Turns Completely Over
'Two men were seriously injured
" when the automobile in which they
were driving north on Twenty
y fourth street at noon yesterday
turned completely over at the corner
of Arbor street and threw them on

Pierce, street, was cut about- the
head and legs. , His companion,
, Mark Valone, 1415 William street,
"'sustained cuts on his head and was
internally injured. The -men were
taken to their homes for surgical
attention. The, car was wrecked.

v received notification yesterday of the
Y shipment from Indianapolis of two
motor trucks to be used in connec
tion with Omaha's aerial mail sent
