Scorrs of peilesii lans at Twenty

jighabt yesterday afternoon as tlicy
watched a tluiNing runaway .and
pcctacular chase between detectives
with drawn revolvers and "Checker"
Armstrong polici character.
Detective Fred I'almtag was
-.landing at Twenty-fourth and 1-ar-runi,
one of the busiest intersections
its the city. ' . .
lie was. on the lookout,, for pick
pockets. .' , ,
Around the cdnu r at Dodge, street
cjino "racing a team of horses, drag
ging behind them an Alannio dairy
wiiK'on. " . ' , 'i,a
Traflic at the rwruer was at us
h ijjht, aiucrnobih's and street cars
.larting through the intersection and
l. desman- -waitin:; their turn to
hurry across the muddy street.
' Palmtaj Leaps.
Duwn I wemy-luiirth street came

street just as the horses came dash-
!" For their heads he jumped, grasp
ing their bridles, and swinging him
self from the pavement just in tmiJ
to ave himself from being trampled
to death under their h6ofs.
His weight, so feuddenly hurled
onto fiieir heads, took some lime to
have anv effect.
For over half a block the mad
dened team dragged him' through
the mud and mire, until finally they
-.lowed .down to a trot , and then
came to a halt
Chase Started.
1 While tin's ihrilimg act was being
Magcd for 'ihc pedestrians oa
Tweulv-fourth street, those on Far
nam street were treated to another,
full v as thrilling. . '
' Almost the ' moment I'almtag
threw his overcoat in the automobile
Leonard "Checkers" . . Armstrong,
sauntering in. the vicinity, seized it.
and with a sudden' jerk, starting east
on Farnam street, down ' grade. '
But Detectives Heller and Franc!
happened to be there, strolling dowai
Farnam, and , saw Armstrong get
their comrade's coat.
With a shout, they started to give
chac, ' ,
;Thc shout only increased "Check
ers' " speed. . ' !
Chase Lasts ,ldck. "
Out of their pockets came two
mean looking revolvers, and with
cries of "Stop -or we'll shoot," the
detectives bore down on thejr prey.
For. almost a- block ' the chase
lasted. tli2 officers being afraid to
shoot because ' of the crowds ot
pedestrians on the sidewalks. ;
' Uut, breathless and weary, they
.sochi overtook Armstrong and placed
him under arrest.
Palmtag's overcoat had been re
covered, the runaway team had been
s(nppcd, and Omaha had been given
a movie -thriller that would have
done honor to Los Angeles.
"Checkers" has been arrested a
number of times on charges of steal
ing articles from automobiles parked
Cj'n downtown streets.

Thc agriculture committee of the

committee began by urging Herbert
Hoover to buy corn products in this
territory for his Eurocan relief
work.
"Mr. Hoover 'passed the. buck' by
advising that the corn he used in
Chinese famine relief. The commit
tee got busy and , secured the cot
operation of the American Farm
Bureau federation which offered to
donate corn jto the Chinese relief
committee. 1 - ,
Cost Too Great.
''This committee replied that the
to tind some means by which the 1 cost 01 sending the corn to the tamine
farmers of Nebraska mav find a district was too great..
market for their surplus corn. After! "At present there seems to be no
immediate relief, but 'the Chamber
of Commerce jnen know no such
word as fail. ' They decided ta put
on the corn banquet and eat as
much of the surplus product as pos
sible' Mrs. MacMurphy lectured to the
committee on methods popularizing
corn as food. Other organizations
will be asked to give vorn banquets.
The committee appointed to ar
