STOLE HIS FISH.
Charles A. Mulick Was Duly Wrathy
About Ii.

Chas. A. Mulick was hopping mad yes
terday morning. He lives on Elm street
and has fish box in the Little Arkansas
river He spends his spare time fishing
and had made catch of six carp and
one mud cat and put them in the box to
await the time his larder needed re-
plenishing as the fish would be nice and
fresh if kept alive and in running water
all the time.
Sunday evening someone bulled the box
up to the bank and broke a hole through
the bottom and made away with he
fish. Mr. Mulick did not care particular-
ly for the box( Il could be repaired but
he did not like the idea of having TO sit
on the cold damp bank of the Little
Arkansas river with the mosquitoes hang
ing around biting whole lot liveler
than the fish But that is what would
be necessary if he wanted to replace the
fish. 1t is very pleasant occupation
to sit under a nice shady tree and fish
when there Is something to catch but
fish are scarce in the Little river and it
requires a good deal of coaxing to get a
fish 10 bite and after catching a bad cold.

WOMAN WAS dope" FIEND.
She Worked Associate Charities on
Plea Of Sickness.

The Associate Charities was victimlzed
last week by dope fiend. The
amount was only dollar ana this is the
case that has appeared this year. A
woman poorly but neatly dressed ap-
peared at the rooms in the court house
and asked for aid. She said that she
was sick and had every appearance of
being a very sick woman. She claimed
TO he hair dresser and if given a chance
TO start would be able TO make her own
living and also that of her son. Mrs.
Couch found a place where they could
room and guaranteed one weeks rent.
The woman started to work but seemed
unable to find anyone who wanted her to
dress their hair and made but little
money or did not show up with very
much. The two managed to live. There
was a little quiet investigation and il
was learned that she used cocaine all the
time and that most of her money was
spent for the drug.
Mrs Couch then purchased a ticket
for the woman 10 Newton and told her
that the best thing she could do was to
move The landlady would not let the
trunk go until the other week s rent had
been paid and the woman stayed around
another day and ral,ed up the other dol
lar and paid her bill.

HUMAN SKELETONS
FOUND IN MOUNDS
Mr.. Bales Dug Up Bones
Buried Many Years.
INDIANS BURYlNG GROUND
Thorough Exploration Will Be
Made in Short Time.

Mr.. Bales, who lives about twelve
miles east OF the city, on Four Mile creek
has discovered what is believed to be an
Indian burying ground. Near his farm
there is q large number of mounds which
had the appearance OF being artificial,
but the residents of that section never
took the trouble to explore them until
Mr.. Bales began work one day last week.
The mounds are ten to fifteen feet high,
perfectly level and there is quite a num-
Der of them grouped on one quarter-sec-
tion in the creek valley.
Mr.. Bales took a shovel and went to
the mounds the latter part Of the week
and began digging on one. He excavated
space several feet square and fifteen
inches deep and discovered the remains
OF four skeletons. The bones were almost
intact as they lay in the ground but
when touched they crumbled to dust and
1t is almost impossible to handle them.
These remains were found at a depth
of only a little more than foot. and
MIR. Bales is planning to make a thor
ough search of one of the mounds. II is
believed that the mounds are filled with
the bones of Indians living many years
ago in this section and il is possible that
the cooking utensils and other imple-
ments may be found by thorough ex-
ploration of the mounds.
The Oldest inhabitant of that section
Gid not know what the mounds contained
until Mr.. Bales began work on them.
Men who have lived for over thirty years
in that section say that the mounds have
been there apparently the same now as
when they came and the Indians who
frequented this part of the state at that
time told the early settlers that the
mounds were there as long as they could
remember.
The mounds are such that they would
attract attention from the fact that there
is nothing like them in all the country
round. They are covered with grass and
have been for many years. and before
any settlers came here. and the Indians
said many years before they saw the first
white man. The discovery made by Mr..
Bales has interested many people in that
neigh borhood who are waiting until they
can complete their fall farm work, when
a thorough exploration of the mounds
will be made and II is expected that some
Interesting discoveries will be made

MORE SPEED AND LESS COST
What County Commissioners Desire
in the Collecting of DeIin-
quent Taxes.

County Commissioner A. C. Harte, as
Douglas c%ounty's representative on the
Legislative committee of the State Associa-
ton of Commissioners and Supervisors,
went to Lincoln yesterday to meet with
other members of this committee and see il
something cannot be done toward securing
the insertion in a legislative bill Of a pro-
vision which will have the effect Of making
less expensive and more speedy a county's
collection of delinquent taxes.
ut now requires about five years f2T 4
county to get possession of and sell for
taxes property on which the taxes are ac-
cumulated, and foreclosure proceedings are

the lot is worth. Our plan is to have a
law making taxes delinquent six months
after due and enabling the county 20 TAX
the property by order of court one year

tion in the cost of the process to about

ASK FOR ARBITRATION BOARD
Employing Job Printers Want Ques-
tion of Wages Settled by
Arbitration.

The question Of the proposed new scale
of wages of job printers of Omaha has
gone to the headquarters of the Interna-
tional typographical union for considera-
ton. After a number of conferences the
employing printers decided hat they would
like to have the matter settled by arbitra-
ton and suggested that an impartial board
of arbitrators be empowered to investigate
and report. The request was sent 10 the
international headquarters for considera-
tion and 1t is probable that 1t will be
granted.
1t is expected that President Lynch Of
the International union will visit the city
in the interests of the local craft and that
at that time the arbitration board will be
created. The employing printers do not
object to the scale itself. but they desire
some plan adopted by which the wages paid
in Omaha will be enforced in towns in the
immediate vicinity from which Job printers
compete with the local houses.

CITY PRIMARIES IN APRIL
Both Republican and Democratic 0Onmit-
tees Expected to Make Change,
THEY WANT TO AVOID LONG CAMPAIGN
Chairman Herring of Republican
Committee Favors April 10 for
and the Following
Day for the Convention.

II is the expectation OF Carl Herring.
chairman Of the republican city committee,
that the republican city primaries will be
held April 10 and the convention April u.
A democrat states that probably he pri-
maries and convention OF that party will
be held early in April"
The recent legislative enactment char G.
ing the date Of the election from March 30
May 8, which Governor Mickey is
expected to approve, made advisable
the change in the program Of the two city
committees. The republicans were TO heve
had their primaries February 10 and their
convention February H. Before fixing a
new date It will be necessary either to
rescind the old resolution or move TO re-
consider It. This, however, will not ueces-
state any special meeting, Chairman Her
ring states, but can be attended to at an
adjourned meeting OF the committee, witch
was dated for February 3 some time ago.
I'VE could have our primaries April II
and our convention April IS, and still keep
within the statutory requirements In the
matter Of giving notice and making filings"
said he, "but those dates, It seems to me,
would be making a too short campaign.
Hence, ] suggest April 10 and IL, the
preference seeming always to be that such
affairs be on Fridays and Saturdays"
Chairman Gilbert is Away.
The democrats are temporarily "in the
air" Chairman Gilbert OF their city COM
mittee has been at Hot Springs, S. D.,
since last Friday trying to convince a Jury
that he has the right on his side in a GER
tain law suit. When he left IL was too
early to call the together and
he will not be at home until wednesday
morning, 30 there is nothing for other
members to do but wait. A Howell fol-
lower who is on the committee said that
Gilbert and the others of the committee
had had no conference before the latter's
departure and that no communication
have since passed between them, but that
he believes the chairman will round them
in as soon as he gets back and have a new
pair OF dates decided upon, such dates
probably to be early in April.
