' NOW IN THE OOUNTY JAIL Four automobile thieves are lodged in the county jail as the result of a running fight between a posse of citi- zens, led by Special Deputy Sheriff . Chris_Christensen of Elk City, near ¥ Waterloo Tuesday. Both cars have been recovered, the one belonging to n M. Devitt, a member of the Oma- . ha Automobile club having been aban- doned near Fremont, A farmer ‘near Fremont saw four men in a car ridinfi past his farm and % acting strangely. He suspected some- 3 thing was wrong and telephoned to Waterloo, Elk City and' Fremont for the authorities to investigate. Sheriff Christensen organized a posse and went after the men in automobiles. When the posse approached them the four men in the car abandoned it and took to their heels across country, with a crowd after them. ST Three Are Captured. Three of them were captured after 8 running fight, but the fourth had disappeared and the three captives taunted the posse with their inability to get “such a slick guy.” They said the fourth man was “too smooth” to get caught and for some time it look- ed as though they were right. The sse_beat the hills to no avail for «four hours, Finally the man, who later gave his name as Henry Bogue, scovered by accldeii in a shal- low pond full of brush and weeds, with only the tip of his nose showing. His discovery came when one of the searching party happened to step di- rectly upon the hi lns man, The a* in_which Bogue's confed- | !t‘:‘ n Evans, Ed Mulford and Phillip Silkert, referved to him as the “glick guy,” and similar terms gives the offi:eu hopes that they have caught the man who left a note ih e _coil box of a recovered automo- ‘taunting the police with their in- ability to catch him, An investigation as to his antecedents is being made and it is hoped that he will be iden- tified as the “city slicker” who would “never get in.” DANGER OF WAR “WITH MEXICO IS 'NEARLY PASSED — (Continued from Page 1) ernment to reach 3 pacific and sat- ctory arrangement of present dif- tieg.
