Destroyed Rival's Tires, FEEMONT The eternal triangle brought out aro'her method of re venge on the pnrt of the disappointed FUitor when William Dyers, thirty-fire, Hoojier, was arrested for maliciously cutting the tires on the flivver belong ing to Leonard Powell, a Hoojier far mer and the man who won the girl. Powell and Byers were both in love with the same girl. But Powell's flivver seemed to have more attrac tion for the woman in the case and Bvers w?s given the cold shoulder. The authorities state that when Powell came into Hooper for the past few Saturday nights, and parks his jar in front of the movie theater, Byers would slash the tires and thus make life miserable for the enamoured couple. Recently Powell decided to brinir the feud to a head and nftor h had parked his car in the usual place, he hid behind a convenient rain bar rel, armed with a shotgun. Soon, it is alleged, the disappointed suitor ap peared on the scene and began his at tack on the flivver's air cushions. Powell blazed away with his shotgun to the consternation of the Saturday evening pedestrians. Havoc reigned until the town marshal took a hand, deciding that as far as cutting up tires is concerned, "all is not fair in love and war." Sheriff Condit brought Byers to the county jail here and the discomfited suitor will nave to stand trial on the charge of malicious de struction of property. Meanwhile Cupid is elated with the aid and sup port offered by the arm of the law In allowing the course of true love to run smoothly for Powell, his flivver and the girt. ! Cast DeiM Cnelty.

Faris dep'ed that anything he had done con stituted extreme cruelty. The court severely castigates him in its opinion. n says inai extreme cruelty neco noi'ruita or vegetables iv lence, but that any unjustifiable con ciuci on ine part or nusoann or wne j . i t that uttpr v aitrnri fhe lotimola ends and objects or matrimony may constitute extreme cruelty. It is some thing that cannot be defined with pre cision, because it is peculiar to each case, and the intelligence, apparent, refinement and delicacy of sentiment of the aggrieved party must be con sidered in determining it. In this cae the court says that Faris indulged in the practice of writ ing long and scurrilous letters to l da tives and friends, intended to humil iate her; that he swore in her pres ence although not at her, wivch is again.it the Instincts of a gentleman; that after she had gone, as he knew on a visit, he stopped payment on two checks she had written and in serted notices in the Fairbury and Maryville papers saying that she had 'eft him end he would not be respon sible for her debts. The court says this was intolerable, and unbearable conduct, and fully jus- tofied the decree of divorce and the judgment for $3,000 alimony. Bootlegger Had Noble Ideals. SCOTTSBLUFF The capture of Pete Gil more of Sioux county by De puty SUte Sheriff O. D. Hedge fol lowing his clean up of illicit stills in Scotts Bluff county was recently re corded. For more than eighteen months Pete Gilmore conducted one of the largest whiskey making outfits ever uncovered in the state. He was rated out in the mountainous region along the Nebraska border as a bad man. It was rumored generally that he would never be taken alive and there were dark hints that he went armed to the teeth. In Sioux county thev left Pete pretty much alone. He made good moonshine and charged r fair price. No one cared to question the motives of this man of silence. State Sheriff Hedge weighs in the neighborhood of 250 pounds was a county sheriff for eleven years and so far has always gone where he ha? set out to go. So he set out for the ave. arrived there ami destroyed vast quantities of booch and mash ind incidentally met Gilmore. i The meeting between Hedge and Gilmore revealed the other side of Pete's character. He threw aside the mask. He was not hardboiled in the official sense. He was a man much devoted to his wife and three children, Hia one aim in life was to give these three children the advantages which were not his in youth. The children ranre in ege from nine to sixteen years. Much of the earnings of the "ather from sale of moonshine went toward the education of this trio. The children were ignorant as to the methods of the father. He kept from them the secret. They must have thei chance. Gilmore is serving a thirty lav sentence in the Sioux county jail He must pav in addition a fine of tOOO and costs. It isn't the fine nor Via sentence which have brought trrentcst nain to the outlaw. It's the knowledge that those three children know what their father is and what lie has been. Elks Will Hold Annual Memorial ' Services Sunday Alliance Idtre No. 9C,i. P.. P.

DODGE, Rector. CHURCH OF CHRIST. Last Thursday evening we were in danger of losing our splendid church ouildmg by fire, but thanks to the Lord and the Alliance Fire department the house was saved to us. The fire boys under the splendid leadership of the fire chief worked faithfully and in a few minutes had the fire extinguish ed. Words cannot express the praise for and appreciation of the work of these firemen. Alliance has a fire department which knows how to fight nre. wniie tne building was not in tht lest of condition for services last Sun day, yet Mr. Snoddy the insurance company's representative permitted Contractor Mtte to temporarily make repairs so that we could use the churcr for services. But in spite of handicap we were enabled to take care of 259 in B ble school and large audiences at other services. At the Wednesday evening meeting following the devotional service, the minister will give another chart lec ture on the subject, "The Fruits of a Tree." Nearly 70 were present last week so mor are evneWed this week. S. J. EPLER, Minister. BAPTIST CHURCH. The great problem of lack of room was again shown in the crowds of i hursday evening and Sunday. How ever, we would rather have it thus than to have empty seats. Again our efforts were blessed by another good addition last Sunday, thus we are en couraged and inspired to greater ef forts. The finances are fine and the outlook for the winter's work is rather rosy at present. We again resume oui prayer services and will continue the study of Old Testament characters, we continue the Ftudy of Ahraharr Wednesday is also the monthly busi ness meeting of the church at which the pastor hopes to present a program for the next year's work, beginning January 15, at wh'ch time the pastor will ask an members who were here when the pastor came to entertain in a special way all who have become members since the present pastorate. The pastor is contemplating holding a series xf meetings at the Angoni point next week. This to be followed by meetings in the two school house points, and these to be fo.'owed by a series at Ashby, iseb. Let us turn out strong at the prayer meetings this week and all talke some part. Last week there were three so cial occasions at the church and this week one, thus the building is being made the social center of the young 1 X 1 1 V . ioiks, jusi us we wouiu nave iu The pastor is working at the job of dramatizing his three lectures on "ThJ Fatal Spot", and in the future wilf ask the young people to try their hand at playing it at the church.

Broken Bow Coach Will Contest the Game With Alliance The football grme at Alliance last Friday between the high school "team of that place and Broken'iEow high, and which resulted in a tcore of' 12 to 7 in favor of Alliance, "will be pro tested by Coach Carr, of Broken Bow, from the standpoint that the game was not supervised by competent of fieials. according to the Custer County Lhier. the prote t will go to J'res. W. G. Brooks, of the Nebraska High School Athletic association, and will be mt!e in person by Mr. Can. The facts in brief as related by Broken Bow's coach showed thr.t the usual courtesy of having the vi.-iting coach o. k. the names of the officials who were to supervise the gane, was not extended to Mr. Carr, and that he had to telephone Alliance at his own ex pense in order to ascertain who they were. He found that the referee was to be a State University man, from Bridgeport, and the umpire a Mina tare man from the University of Wyoming. The lineman was from Alliance. Mr. Carr put his o. k. on the names submitted, but. when the Hroken Bow team arrived at noon. Thursday, nothing was said about the officials and the silence continued un til an hour before the game the next day. It was then divulged by Coach Prince, of Alliance, that the lineman was out of town nnd the umpire had not shown up. It appears that the substitute had also pone, so the game had to start with a lir.cman and um pire picked from the crowd. The game went all right to the fourth quarter with Alliance 12 and Broken Bow 0. when Broken Bow r.:;de a touchdown in that quarter tliat scored seven points. Alliance fur.-.t!cd a pur.t giv ing the ball to Broken Bow with four feet from the goal. They played until the ball was six inches from the lin& They called. Scott through the line. Broken Bow maintained that the ball went over and Alliance disputed it. This waa the point of protest If Pres. Brooks decides in favor of Brok en Bow it will make the score 13 to 12 in favor of tho latter team.' Coach Carr will go to Nebraska City (the president's home) the latter part of the week and present the claims of the Broken Bow team. During th game, Deal and Haney of Broken Bow were injured and had to b removed from the field.
