STATE OFFICERS
GIVE UP HUNT FOR
ATHLETIUANDIT
Highwayman Hurdles Fences,
Drops Over Embankment,
'In Escaping After Theft
of Auto.
Grand Island,. Web., Aug. 28.
(Special.) Nebraska's recent inten
sive man hunt has been temporarily
rbandoned, but Sheriff McCutchah
anrl Deputy Snodgrass still have out
their net for the 'escaped athletic
highwayman.
The member of the trio arrested
ty them at Chapman, who broke
away Friday and led officers of
three counties a merry chase for
many miles, finally lost himself at
Columbus.
Omaha, detectives who. were de
tailed to watch for him at inroads
to' the city abandoned 'their lookout
Friday night.
Hurdles High Fences.
(Sheriff McCutqhen . and Deputy
Snodgrass tell of athletic feats- pe
formed by this escaped highwayman
which they believe, augmented by
descriptions given by his two com
panions now in jail at Broken Bow,
may lead to his identification by
Chicago police and his early arrest
in this state.
The trio is accused of slugging an
nged man and stealing his automo
bile, in which they had ridden about
10 miles in Custer county.
The fugitive made good his es
cape after breaking away in a crowd
at Chapman. Leaping from a speed
ing freight train, dashing through
several cornfields, hurdling high
fences without touching the bar
riers fand dropping over embank
ments 10 to 20 feet high are a few
of the accomplishments credited to
him by the officers.
Seven ihots fired at him during
the, chase served only to quicken his
speed, they say.
Grabs Him by Heel.
Deputy . Snodgrass, former foot
ball player and sprinter, declares the
escaped man one of the fastest he
ever saw in action.
' At Central City, in the midst of
the chase, the highwayman barely
missed capture by the gridiron dep
uty when he saw the officer at his
heels on the edge of a 20-foot em
bankment. The fugitive leaped and crashed
into a wire fence. The deputy fol
lowed suit and seized the highway
man's heel as he wiggled through
the fence.
But with one kick the athletic
bandit shook off his would-be cap
tor and dashed to freedom.
Plattsmouth Sheriff
Raids Still on Missouri
Plattsmouth. Neb., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) One of the most important
raids on illicit liquor traffic in this
vicinity was, .made, byJShfjriff. Quin
ton, who unearthed a carefully con
cealed cave at the rear of the James
Travis residence south of the Mis
souri river ferry landing, together
with over 100 gallons of corn mash
in various stages of fermentation.
Entrance to the cave was through
the home, the trap door beinir board
ed up and further camouflaged by
the placing of a cupboard against it.
A large copper wash boiler still
and a number of barrels were among
the contents of the cave. Travis
was fined $200 in county court. Fed
eral enforcement officials from
Omaha have been investigating the
case, but no arrests have been made
on a federal charge.
Mystery Surrounds Finding
Of Mutilated Money In Lincoln
Lincoln, Aug. 28. (Special
Telegram.) Federal officers and no-
Nice are mystified by the finding of
three-quarters of an inch cut from
the top of five $10 government notes
and buried in a light coat of mud
on the canopy of the J. T. Stone
garage here.
Various theories have been offered
and government officers are making
a diligent search for the persons who
mutilated the money. They place
credence in the theory that a gang
of counterfeiters were "raising" $10
bills to $100.
Two weeks ago the garage was
entered at night and the place ran
sacked but nothing taken. It is be
lieved that ' the pieces of the notes
were hidden at that time.
Baby Cut to Pieces by Big
. Sickle on Mowing Machine
Beatrice, Neb.. Aug. 28. (Special.)
John Herman Dorn. 252-ye"ar-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dorn,
was fatally injured when he fell in
front of a mowing machine on the
Dorn farm northeast of here last
night.
The baby's father had left the team
standing while he went to the house
for an oil can. The baby slipped
into the field, nicked up the lines.
and (Started the team which circled
about. The little child was literally
cut td pieces by the sickle. He died
in a Beatrice hospital.

Tecumseh, Neb., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial Tetegram.) William J. O'Brien,

Deari of Court House Elevator Men Has
Real Motion Picture Show All His Own
Object of Bombardment
Of Foolish Questions
Each Day.
i ......
Michael O Connell is engaged m
lilting up those who are seeking to
rise. He has done more, perhaps,
than any other man in Omaha to
raise lawyers to higher levels.
Michael is the dean of the elevator
operators in the court house. H'r
has been rising in the world for
eight years, but still finds himself at
the same place where he started in
the fall of 1912, when he began-his
job, at the time the new court house
was opened. '
You might think this rather a
humdrum existence. "Mike" doesn'tj
Like the Movies.
"It's interesting," says he. "I meet
all kinds of people. It's like a mov
ing picture show all day long.''
"Mike" can recognize a young
couple seeking a marriage license the
minute they appear at his elevator
door. This is always the signal for
a bit of 'comedy..
"Marriage licenses, second floor '.
the left," he says, with a glance and
a smile at the embarrassed pair.
"Why, how did you know?", the
blushing bride will sometimes gasp
itij astonishment. ,
A Confirmed Bachelor.
"You're on," the groom will some
times answer. "We want a permit
for lifelong happiness."
But "Mike", himself has never
traveled that road, "second floor, to
the left." He is a confirmed bachelor.
"I've seen dozens of them, yes,
hundreds," jays he, ' "that I've
brought up here for marriage
licenses coming back in a few weeks
or months or, maybe, years, for di
vorces. "Yes, it's sad, very sad.
No Jokes Then.
"They come up here cooing and
smiling and happy and looking at
each other with loving glances. And
then, later on, I bring them tip look
ing so different. Usually they make
the second trip separately. And the
happy bride looks so miserable or, so
angry and the happy groom looks
so unhappy.. Too bad, too badl"
When these come back on their
second trip, "Mike" has to direct
them "second floor, to the right."
But he doesn't make any joke of this,
and he doesn't smile at them. It is
no time for smiles For that is the
dirsction to the clerk of the district
court, where divorce petitions are
filed.
"Mike" is a brother-in-law of the
late United States Marshal, "Tom"
Flynn, and makes his home with his
sister, Mrs. Flynn He drives a big
Auburn automobile, and is reputed
to have a bank account running into
five figures big figures, too. i
F.levator operating is evidently a
healthful occupation, for he has never
missed a day from his job on account
of sickness.
Besides being an elevator opera
tor, he is ai information bureau. He
estimates that he answers 100 ques
tions a day. And some of ifiie qifrs
tions are funny ones.
