FRANK SHARP is ON TRIAL
n of Beins one of Gang that
Held Up Freight
Trains.

Chief of Police Donahus and Detectives
Drummy and Mitchell will return to
Plattsmouth this morning, where they have
been attending the trial Of Frank Sharp
on a charge Of burglary. Sharp was ar
rested February /, 1899. and has been out
on bond awaiting trial. He lives at La
Platte.
The authorities are undertaking to prove
that Sharp was one Of the gang hat perl
odically held up freight trains, especially
on the Rock Island road. The robbers
would get on the train, break into a car.
throw out valuable freight and then, by
setting the brakes, reduce the speed of the
train 30 they could safely jump OF. They
then would disappear. collect the boxes
they had thrown out Of the cars and either
use or dispose Of the goods.
Az a previous trial Charles Sharp and
Jack Vinson we're convicted and another
suspect, called Happy Jack" is still at
large. After his conviction Charles Sharp
gave an order to Detective James Malone
Of South Omaha which led to the recovery
Of goods valued at 1875, which were found
exactly as described by Sharp. The cases
attracted much attention at the time, as
the railroad companies had suffered much
loss and trouble on account OF the rob-
berries.

REPORTS TO POLICE
Chief Donahue Determines to Discourage
Trumped-Up Complaints.
MANY RoBBERIEs ARE ONLY IMAGINARY
wesley Barr Called Upon 60 show
that His story of Being Held
Up and Robbed Has
Foundation.

Wesley Barr Of Greenwood, Neb., who
told the police early Sunday morning that
he had been assaulted by hve men at the
corner Of Ninth and Leavenworth streets
and robbed Of s27. is locked UP in the police
station and will be given an opportunity to
prove that he is not a fraud and that the
story he told the police was not manufac-
tured out Of the whole cloth. The police
promptly Investigated Bars story and re-
ported they had found enough evidence to
justify making an example OF him.
In order to avoid a mistake the investiga-
ton has included Bars career elsewhere.
A Plattsmouth paper states that Barr was
released from the Cass county jail last
Saturday morning and that when he left he
had stated he did not have any money.
About two weeks ago a man living near
Council Bluffs reported to the police that
he had been robbed Of a large sum. He
was held at the station to identify the per-
sons he charged with the robbery. Later,
on account OF his intoxicated condition, he
was searched preparatory to locking him
up. The money was found sewed up in
his shirt. The police were put to much
trouble about this case, as the sum in
volved and found on his person amounted
to nearly 5000.
A similar case occurred a few days after
ward in which a man definitely charged a
companion with robbing him. When
searched the money was found in a little
used pocket, where he had forgotten placing
It. These are only a few OF many cases of
complaints that leave the impression Omaha
is becoming a resort Of thieves and sand
baggers, and Chief Donahue is determined
to make an example of Barr In order to
stop this practice of men making false re-
ports OF being robbed, the fact being In
not a few instances that the complaint is
made to cover up the squandering of money
by men who want to give a plausible ex-
planation to their friends.

The complaint of an age limit under
winch the young secure a monopoly of
employment is not peculiar in organi-
cations like the Federation of Labor.
1t Is heard In every line of business, in
the newspaper offices. in politics. The
vigor and activity of youth are said to
be grossly overestimated against the
experience of age. 1t is charged that
youth often wins in the competition
because. having fewer responsibilities,
1t is content with smaller pay. The
boy makes a present sacrifice expecting
that he will reap his reward in the
future. The nan Is done with sacri-
fees. and thinks 1t is time that the re-
ward was forthcoming. Conditions are
such that the complaint is by no means
surprising. but it was hardly a helpful
suggestion ut the Federation meeting

however, there is an arbitrary age limit
1t is irrational. Age may raise a pre-.

can never determine the value Of the
