Next summer it will make its speed trials

THINK GUERTlN is A CROOK
Young Man Believed to he n "Short
Change Artist" is Arrested
by Detectives.

A young man giving the name OF Emery
Guertin was arrested Tuesday by Detectives
Heelan and johnson and is booked at the
police station as a suspicious character. 1t
is believed that Guertin is the short
change artist" who has victimized several
Omaha business men during the past two
weeks. Joe Pezdirtz, who runs a saloon
at 1924 South Thirteenth street. called at
the station and attempted to identify him
as the young man who "himflammed" him
out of $40 a week ago in making change,
but was unable to do so positively. He
says, however, he thinks Guertin is the
man. Other victims will be asked to ex-
anime the prisoner today.
Guertin denies that he is a crook and says
he has been attending the Omaha Business
college. No such name as Guertin, how
ever, appears upon the college rolls.

Discussion over school Plans.

FREMONT, Neb., Feb. Especial y
The school board is having some difficulty
in awarding the contract for the new High
school building. The plans and specifca-
tions furnished by Parsons & Sons OF Des
Moiues are not satisfactory and in many
respects are thought by the board to be in
complete and not practical. Bids were
opened this afternoon, with about thirty
contractors present. There. appeared to be
considerable misunderstanding about the
terms of the specifications. A secret SEES
sion was held, at which it is said there
was a very minated discussion on the ques-
ticu of the satisfactory quality of the plans
and specifications, many members being in
favor of procuring an entirely new and
complete set of plans. AS near as can be
learned no action was taken. Later the
nineteen bids were opened and all but
three rejected. A special meeting will be
held tonight, when these three bids will
be more thoroughly examined and the board
will then decide whether 10 award the con-
tract according to the preseut plans or adopt
new ones.

saloon on Fourteenth street between Far
nam and Douglas. His Omaha record. s., far
as the police know. is not bad, all OF his
crooked work having been done in other
cities OF the middle west.
His first criminal act that attracted par
ticular attention to him was In Chicago
during Worlds Fair year. when he shot a
policeman attempting 20 arrest him. The
victim OF the shot recovered after a linger-
ing illness, and Crow escaped with a light
jail sentence.
About -FOUR years ago he was arrested on
suspicion Of having been implicated in a
train robbery near st. Joseph. and was
lodged in the 81. Joseph Jail. After an in
generation OF a few weeks he took part in a
plot to break jail. The jailbirds procured
hIes, saws and the other necessary tools
from confederatcs On the outside. and after
a few hours work the last bars
that separated them from liberty
were cut. But the job was so
easy that Grow suspected a plot
on the part OF the officers to lure them into
breaking Jail, intending to take a shot at
them as they were escaping. As a safeguard
against this contingency, they sawed into
the cell OF a negro condemned to be hanged
for murder, released him and pushed him
through a breach in the wall ahead OF them.
The idea was for him to draw any frs
which might be intended for them. But the
negro escaped and they followed him.
once safe out OF Jail Crow and his pal
stole a horse and buggy and drove IL a.
hreakneck speed toward Omaha. At Ham
burg they "ditched" the rig and caught a
freight train, and were in Omaha before day.
light of the day Of their escape.
Grow was at large for several months. but
was finally arrested in the postofHce at Gin
cinnati and was later turned over to tho
s., Joseph authorities. There he was given
eighteen months for jail breaking.
In the meantime the police had received
notice Of a charge OF diamond robbery pend
ing against him in Denver. This. however.
was settled without a trial, as there was no
prosecution.
This, so far as known, was his last Grim
inal act, except the one he is nov charged
with, the train robbery near Chicago.

The beets which the Standard Beet Sugar
company is working up at its factory
north OF Ames are reported not to be in

January thawed those which were in the
beet house and those in the siIos have
not kept very well. Bects that are frozen
and kept in that condition until worked up
do not lose In sugar contents. 1t is freezing
and thawing that spoil them for sugar
making. The factory is running day
and night gangs and taking care of the
beets as fast as possible. 1t expects to
run about forty days this season. Contracts

Crosby. II we could make an arbitrary rule

We are answering parties to the discrimina-

Cars are often so badly overcrowded that
trains have to be stopped, cars unloaded and
reloaded and at times extra cars furnished
for the excess taken out of overcrowded
cars. This is to the detriment of the stock.
Originally the standard car length was
thirty eight feet. 1t has been increased
from time to time until at present cars
OF ffty-eight feet in length are in use. No
cars of this length, however, are used in
the transportation of live stock except in
the case of .he Palace cars that are parti-

ton of fancy stock. These cars are owned
by private car companies and a special
