ALMOST FALsE IMPRISONMENT
Leonard Koha spends Two Hours In
Involuntary Confinement In a
DOwn-TOwn store.

Another famous suit for false imprison-
ment came near coming to a head Wednes-
day night, but has been declared on for
good and sufficient reasons. For more than
two hours Leonard c. Kohn thought he
was In involuntary confinement and forced
to resort to desperate means to regain
his liberty. It seems young Kohn is en-
ployed in the Walter q. Clark Wholesale
establishment and includes among his
other assignments that OF locking up at
night. This responsible duty is performed
by letting down an iron bar across the
door and swapping a patent paddock to
keen It in place.
When ready to make his sortie Tues
day after all the other men had gone, he
found to his dismay that the door was
closed, n through the glass he saw
the paddock snapped tight on the staple.
1t was nearly Z p. m, and a questionable
proposition whether the manager, who
carries the key, could be located at all.
After keeping the telephone busy half an
hour setting relatives and messengers in
motion to nnd the liberator. the prisoner
sank back In a chair with a book in de-
termined resignation.
Finally after two hours he remembered
that the man with the key was supposed
to be looking over a travelling salesman's
samples at one Of the hotels and, after
more telephoning. he was discovered and
to the store. Watching i'm
patiently for his arrival, Kohn turned the
knob and, behold, the door opened wide
the iron bar had not been dropped nor
had the door been locked at all.
Young Kohn has been opening other
things than doors since.

MURDERER BEARING UP WELL

C-hristiRnsen, the wife
slayer.


Anton Christensen, who murdered his
wife last Saturday afternoon, is bearing up
well under his confinement. He is in muir
derer's CELL" next to the door Of the Jail
ONCE and within a few feet Of the desk of
the turnkey. He is looking better than at
any time since his arrest. He never speaks
to any Of the attaches of the Jail unless he
is spoken to, and seems to take no interest
In anything that goes on around him. He
has not yet been arraigned and will likely
not be until his brother, who is now some
where In the west, arrives In Omaha.
Christiansen's cell is the one in which
Tommy" Walton and Mrs. Elizabeth
Thompson of Boston held their ive-hour
conference on the night after Walton's ar
rest for ~defrauding her out of several thou
sand dollars, which ended with the two
kissing and making up and the complaint

BY the Incorporation under the state

owners Of the Boston Store, will about Sep
TENDER 8 open In direct connection with the
store the nrst department. store bank to OPP
crate outside Of New York OF Chicago. The
nrm has Incorporated with 800. 900 capital
for a general commercial banking business
under the name OF ]. l. Brandeis & Sons,
Bankers. Its mode of operation will differ
slightly from the regular banking house,
but It viii be along the lines tried with Sue
cess by New York and Chicago department
stores. Deposits will be received from 81
to $1,000, but the latter hgure will be the
maximum limit accepted. On all deposits
4 per cent interest will be paid after the
money has been on deposit for three months
or over. Unlike a savings bank. deposits
may be withdrawn without notice.
Tho plan is not an experiment nor a
novelty" says Mr.. Brandeis. at has been
proven successful in the two biggest cities
in the country, and what is good for New
York and Chicago is good for Omaha. There
is no reason why, Omaha should not be the
first city west Of the Mississippi to have a
department store bank. In this as well as
in all other desirable innovations Omaha
should be the first to enjoy the conveniences
Our bank will be conducted primarily for
the convenience OF small depositors. It is
not the intention Of the operators to com
pete with other Omaha banks, nor will the
accounts OF merchants be sought. The
hours OF thanking will be from 9 a. m. till
s p. m. except on Saturdays, when the bank
will remain open until . p. m. Checks on
all other banks will be cashed during that
time. and inasmuch as the other banks will
c,ose much before this. the proprietors OF
the new concern expect that this convent
ence will be widely appreciated"
A unique plan for extending the conven-
fences Of the bank is being contemplated,
and Il will soon be put in operation by the
proprietors of the Boston Store. About
5000 gun metal banks will be sent out
from the establishment and placed in the
homes of Omaha people. On the accumuia-
tion Of 81 or more the little safe deposit
boxes may be brought to the Brandeis bank
and the contents will be placed to the credit
Of the depositor, drawing interest from the
day deposited.
The officers Of the new bank are: A. q.
Brandeis, PRESIDENT; H. H. Brandeis, vice
president; ]. L. Brandeis. secretary, and q.
Brandeis, cashier. The officers say that the
money left on deposit will be used to buy
gilt-edged securities. In no case, It is said,
will any deposit money be loaned out.
The banking department will be a hand
some affair. 1t is being fitted up in the
south end Of the balcony, overlooking the
main floor Of the Boston Store. II will be
easy Of access and the furniture and fittings
are all to be modern and attractive.
