From the Kansas city journal.

from the Kansas City Journal
The Kansas City, Kan, police force has
always been noted to some extent for pos
sessing remarkable officers. OF all the re-
markable men who have carried a club and
worn a star in the city across the Kaw.
Frank Cogswell formerly member of
the Kansas City, Kan, force stands at the
heao oil the list. CogsweH was a brave
officer, but then, this it not the most re-
markable thing about omcer Frank Cogs-
well.
He is the only man who ever served on
the force who could sleep and keep his
cluD moving at he same time.
Capt Porter in speaking about the diff
Iereht men who had worked under him
refers to Officer Cogswen as being one of
the hardest men to catch mapping who
ever served on the force.
Why said he, Frank could lean up
against a telegraph pole and fall sound
asleep but with the regularity of a clock

sergeant could always easily locate him
on his beat from this noise. but Cogswell

Inc story, as told by the old men. who
served with this officer, runs like this:
Much complaint had been made about
polcemen sleeping on their BEATS and the
cIleL decided to put a stop to it. All SER
seahts doing night duty were instructed
10 keep close watch on the patromen of
tneir respective districts. Nearly a third

lore the patrolmen discovered that they
were Deing closely watched. Cogswell was
suspected of taking a nap occasionally,
put no sergeant seemed smooth enough
TO make a case against him. He was Oft
en- caught on dry goods box and leaning
against telegraph poles, but in every in
stance his club would be tapping what
purported to be a signal that he was wide
awake. 1t was months before it was dis
covered that this officer handled his club

when awake.
