UNEMEN HAVE STRUCK.
Employees of Electric Com
panies Walked Out Today.
NORFOLK HAS GANG OF MEN.

Nebraska Telephone, Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Men Called
Out This Morning-Want Better
Pay and Shorter Hours.
Omaha, April l6 Special to The
News: All Of the linemen employed
by the Nebraska Telephone company,
the Western Union Telegraph company
and the Puttal Telegraph company were
this morning called out OH q strike.
They dt mand $2.75 per day, an eight
hour service after September /, and
recognition Of the union by the com.
panies. Seventy.five men in Omaha
are involved and 1870 throughout the
state.
The telephone company and the
Western Union company have been
paying a rate of 81. rs per day and the
Postal company $3.50. The eight hour
service has never been granted, how.
ever, and the union has not heretofore
been recognized.
TIL rs are number of line men EN-.
ployed by the Nebraska Telephone com.
pany in Norfolk. This city is one of
the most important centers Of exchange
in the state and probably contains as
large force OF the linemen as any
other place. Just how they are affected
by the movement is not yet known.
When asked in regard to the matter
this afternoon, Manager Sprecher
stated that he was unable to tell how
his gangs would be affected by the
strike. He is not sure, he said, whether
the men belong to the union or not.
1t would seem likely, from the facts,
however, that at least some of the men
here would stop work on account Of the
order.

was momentarily expected when the
Troude sailed, as the revolutionists
were preparing to pursue President
VasQuez and his troops.

Proper.y Found on crin.ipaI..


 ''The question us to what final dis position is made of money and jewelry found in the possession of criminals was frequently asked me when l was on the force two years ago." said an ex-captain of the New York police force. 'As a rule, everything found upon an arrested criminal which obvi- ously is not his lawful property Is held in trust, as it were, by the police for possible claimants. If no claimants turn up the property is returned to the criminal on being released from his term of Imprisonment, provided the commissioner of police is perfectly sat isfied that the property actually does belong to him. ......- .... If the commissioner has reasons to think otherwise, however, the articles, often valuable, are held indefinitely or until it is certain that they will never be claimed by their rightful owners. when the stuff is finally disposed of and the proceeds handed over to bene- it one or another of the various police funds.
 '"There are certain things. however, which the police never return to those on whom they have been found. such ns burglarizing tools, firearms. gam bling devices. begging letters-any- thing, in fact. that might he used by criminals again in their ncfarious oc- ctIDatiOnS"

MONSON.


 Leonard G. Cushman, 70, died Thursday morning at his home on Harrison avenue, after an illness of a few days. The cause of his death was creeping paralysis. His birthplace was West Stafford, Ct. MT. Cushman came to this town in 1861 and built the Monson house, the first hotel. In 1866 he married Miss Laura Lillibridge of Ashford, Ct., who died in 1894. In 1880 he sold the Monson house and moved to farm owned by him about a mile west of the village. In Oc- tober, 1884, he bought Greens hotel, changing the name to the Cushman house. He managed that hotel until 1895, when he sold it and moved back upon the farm. Later he built house on Harrison avenue, where he had since made his home with his only son, George l.. Together they con- ducted large milk business. They have owned a large herd of cattle and have raised many fine horses. They have also kept several heavy teams for draught purposes. Besides his son, MT. Cushman leaves one daughter, Mrs. w. O. Young, of Westboro. In the death of MT. Cushman the town loses one of it's most contemplating citi- zens. He was one who always want ed to make two blades of grass grow where one had previously grown. He was constantly building, or improving something already built. He was a large pattern of a man, and while he had his faults the same as the rest of us, there is universal regret through out the town to learn of his death.
