Fear Law when lie Comes
TO Omaha

Chinny, the cigarette smoking monkey OF
the Forepaugh- Sells Bros. show, which ar
rives in Omaha Sunday and exhibits Mon
day, will not have the trouble he did re-
Gently in Indiana, for the anti-cigarette
law enacted by the last Nebraska legisla-
ture is not yet in effect
The wit OF a practical Joker and the re-
fusal of an Indiana constable to be bluffed
caused considerable trouble recently for the
managers of the show. The Joker. giving
his name as John Jones, swore out a war
rant before the city Judge for the arrest of
Chinny, an employe OF the show, on "A
charge of smoking cigarettes The COM
plaint was later transferred to another
court and placed in the hands of a consta-
BILE to serve
On his arrival at the grounds the consta-
BILE drew his revolver and, displaying his
badge and the warrant, demanded of the
gateman that he be shown at once into the
presence of the offending Chinny. Consid-
cradle trouble was had in gaining entrance
to the tent. but after finding the manager
and securing the aid of two patrolmen. the
constable finally was admitted to the main
tent, where he was informed Mr.. Chinny
would be found.
Upon entering the officer was startled by
a loud and angry cry directly in front Of
him. He took step forward and halted,
looking squarely at the offending Chinny
Considerable surprise was manifest on the
constables face when he was informed
that Chinny was no less a parsonage than
the large, black monkey in the cage before
him. who even at the time held a partially
smoked coffin tack" between his teeth
The constable stared at the placard on the
moneys cage, which read:
Mr.. Chinny, the Monkey that Smokes
Cigarettes"
The constable insisted, however, that
Chinny go to Jail with him, claiming that
even II he were a monkey he should have
better Judgment than to smoke cigarettes
In defiance of the new anti-cigarette law in
Indiana. The manager of the show expos
tulated with the insistent upholder Of the
law, but to no avail. The monkey was
'pinched." Finally, however, the constable
said that IL the manager would pay the
fine for Chinny the justice would be salts

warrant and precedent could be found.
Governor Cummins expressed grave doubt
on that point and said all requisitions had
been refused before because Of insufficient

mere indictment was sufficient in California,

had gone, and thought 1t should do here.
In case Lund perfects his papers Thomas
was promised a hearing on the pretense
