ARMED FOR A FIGHT.
Omaha Police Trouble Becomes
Threatening Again.
A. P. AS Are Ready to Take
FOrcibIe Possession.
LOOKS LIKE A FORT.
Police Headquarters Barricaded
and Officers Armed.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 13.-It now looks
as if a conflict is inevitab bic between
the Omaha police force and the A. P. A.
faction. The A. P. A. board is APP
pointing its men and assert they will
take possession of the city property by
force Wednesday, 1t was stated I'M
officially that those of the present
policemen and fremen who did not
notify the new board by Wednesday
morning that they would hold them
selves su bject to the orders of the new
board would receive little considers
ton when the new board commenced
to discharge the duties of the Office.
The police headquarters resemble
barracks to-day. The disquieting ru-
mors. which are flying around accord
ing to the police, are the basis for the
precautions taken in protecting the
headqu arters from assault and capture
in true feuda1 style. The door leading
from the Office into the police court
and the door opening out into Jackson
street from the captains Office have
been locked and braced with
timb so that neither of them
could be forced without the use of
sledge hammer. This leaves
but two entrances to the office and
c0IISs OAC Is tuEOuSA INC OOOF OPEN
ing out into the court from off Fiji
teenth street and the other through
the door and up the narrow steps into
jackson street An assaulting party
would have to come by one of these
two entrances, and when they at
tempted this twenty-five policemen
would be on hand to give them warm
reception.
The police are armed with their
clubs and short handles, such as are
used in pickaxes, and everyone of
them has revolver. There are only
fifteen patrolmen doing duty on the
streets of the city, the rest of the
regular force and some from the door
watch being used to protect the head
quarters and the city hall.
The police put in their time at head
quarters in sleeping and talking over
the situation. Captain Moslyn said he
did not anticipate any trouble, but
that it was deemed advisable to keep a
force about the headquarters as pro-
lection in case of an effort to take pos
session. The men will be kept on
guard until the commission middle is
settled.
