JUBCALLS STORIES TOLD OF GENERAL CUSTER The picture entitled "Lost Custer Pictures Aid Road Work," which appeared on the front page of the Elgin Courier-News Saturday night, was especially interesting to Mrs. Mary 'Noonan of this vicinity and her children, as it included, Thomas flWonan, Her brother-in-law, who was shown with General Custer and who was Custer's orderly, Bloody Knife, his 'Indian Scout and Colonel Ludlow. One of his nieces recalls many times when she was a little girl and tier uncle held her on his lap and told her of the thrilling experiences he went through when he was one of the three men sent back by Custer to get reinforcements and how badly he felt because they did not arrive back in time to save Custer and his men. This and other stories 'he told of General Custer while with him on his Indian expedition. Private Noonan was a brother to her father, who also fought in the Civil war in another regiment.

OnwfM, Neb.--The cities of Otnaha and Council Bluffs are up against an unique proposition. The street railway company wants to give Its big bridge over the Missouri river connecting the two cities to them. There's no catch in the proposition. In fact, the company has placed a deed to the bridge in escrow with the presidents of five Omaha and Council Bluffs banks, to be delivered In six and one-half years, without the payment of a cent by the cities, without the remission of a cent of taxes, or without payment in any way. The only condition is that the cities shall not build a municipal free bridge within one mile of the street car bridge within the six and one-half years. That bridge is taking in approximately $40,000 every month in tolls. The company values it at more than $4,000,000 and it Is paying Interest on an investment of over $6,000,000. The lowest estimate placed on the structure by engineers employed by the city is something over $2,500,000. Cltiss Hesitate. Both Omaha and Council Bluffs hesitate about accepting the offer of the company to give the cities that bridge. For three or four years both Omaha and Council Bluffs have been talking free municipal bridge. Two or three years ago the city tried to buy this bridge, but the company refused to sell at any price. There was an election and the voters refused to sanction bonds necessary to make a purchase by condemnation proceedings. Then question of a municipal bridge died down, but about one year ago It came up again, with more energy than ever. Committees have been appointed by two or three different bodies to dicker with the railway company tor the purchase of the bridge. The most popular plan proposed Is to build a competing bridge across the river one block below the street car company's bridge. Then somebody dogged the wheels by proposing three free bridges, oo§ in the Cfnter of the 1 city and on at the southern end, with a third bridge at the northern end. Tliis caught the fancy of the rest* dents of those sections, so that Omaha found Itself faced by having to build three municipal bridges if it went Into the bridge ownership at all. Council Bluffs went ahead and voted bonds for $400,000 to pay that city's share of the bridge. Omaha wfis expected to put up the balance. The Supreme court has declared Council Bluff's bond Issue illegal. Omaha has not voted on the proposition but may do so this spring. Railways Step In. Then the railway company threw a bomb by offering to make the city a present of Its bridge. It Is assumed there will be no toll. If the city takes over the company's bridge, nod the company asks that Its street cars be allowed to cross the bridge Just like other vehicles, the company paying a proportion of the upkeep, but paying no tolls. The $40,000 monthly collected in tolls would go to the cities until the property is paid for, after which the bridge would be free. The company says no formal action by the city councils is necessary. The company is going to give the bridge to the cities whether the city councils accept it or not. The only way the two cities can keep from accepting Is to start building a bridge close to the old structure. The municipalities ma* try building. a bridge onl|IAmI from the lose the lch would L also an4 Movietone -t-r- i NEWS TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY pi^Talking SEVEN DAYS LEAVE' '..•J--;'-! with Garry Cooper and Beryl Merger also TUkfaf Comedy and Movietone ./ Mows ; • :. v incoming Soon,, Dennis King ip |$fHE VAGABOND A ? • KINO" as Tribute u> U.
