TRIED TO ESCAPE BY AUTO.

"My name's Johnson and I'm from
Frisco. I've never been niuiiea uj
any constable in a Jerkwater like this
and ain't going to be now." Bucn
were the words of Walter Johnson
of Salina who with William Laicey
were arrestted Sunday by Marshal
Engle for being drunk, speeding an
auto and resisting an officer. After

Johnson this morning had calmed
down considerably and both' he and
Lacey pleaded guilty before Justice
Quinn to the charge of being drunk.
The other Uvo charges were not
brought against the two boys. They
were fined $10 and costs. ' Lacey
paid his and was released but John
son was put In the county Jail to
bluff Sheriff Young for a come-back
on his meals. '
The Salina boys were speeding In
the business district when Marshal
Engle boarded the machine and or
dered Lacey, the driver, to stop. In
stead Lacey put on more speed, Jump
ed from the car and left Engle and
Johnson to atop the car. Johnson
said , he couldn't and Henry said he
didn't know a thing about the auto.
However, Henry made a safe jump
from the machine and started after
Lacey, whom he caught after a brief
chase. After placing Lacey in the
city Jail he captured Johnsen who
refused to go. But a rap on the
head with Henry's club changed his
mind and he went along peaceably.

NEW PREWITT DIRECTORIES
ARE BEST YET ISSUED,
The new 1912-1913 Prewitt city
directory is the most complete direc
tory Abilene has ever had. it is
bound in a green and yellow cover
ing and is filled with advertisements
of many of Abilene' s merchants. A
new feature of the directory is the
numerical street Index. If you know
the number of a person's house and
the street he lives on, and want, to
find his name, all you have to do is
to look in the numerical street di
rectory. The new directory also con
tains an alphabetically arranged list
of the business i firms and private
citizens; miscellaneous directory;
city, and county officers, churches,
public and private schools, buildings,
banks, secret and benevolent socle

went through town over the Golden
Belt route today.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Parker of Kan
sas City have gone to Minnesota and
Wisconsin on a motor car trip. Mrs.
Parker writes: "We had thought
quite aeriously of going to Denver
over the Golden Belt route but while
the Kaw Valley Is a beautiful garden

Sahara desert, the only shelter from
