NIP MEcHAN FOR BURGLARY
Goods Found on Him Identiaed by
Gross as Having Been stolen
from FnwnshOp.

John Meehan Of South Omaha opened an
other chapter in his career last night by
landing in jail Detectives Dummy and
Maloney we're sent out TO investigate what
is known at the Jail as plant" on which
some one had given them a tip This coll
lection of plumber was located at Twelfth
and Corby streets. There had Deen hints

near the tankline buildings. Several cans
Of paint we're found and part of caddy
OF tobacco, 1t Is thought this plumber was
once much larger and that good deal of
the original theft has been disposed Of II
was probably the work of q car breaker.
On a former occasion when Mechan was
arrested he had a number of oeals for
freight cars and the nippers for closing
them.
However, this was not the case in which
he was directly implicated. He was wanted
for entering Harry Gross's pawnshop. SIS
North Sixteenth street, last Monday night.
From this place there was taken $500 worth
of property, which in detail consisted of 81
in cash, a diamond worth Sl25, Colt shot
gun, hammerless; a dozen rings and
dozen watches. Some revovers were also
taken. Again Thursday night some one
visited the same locality. Rubens grocery
store and meat market at 5l4-5l6 next door
to Gross's, was entered and six pounds of
ham and some syrup taken. Another at
tempt was made to enter the pawnshop,
but II was not successful. These GASES
were traced until suspicion rested on
Mechan and luckily when the two detectives
were returning with sack full OF paint
and tobacco they saw him eating at the
lunch counter In Shorty Cooper's pool
] hall at Sixteenth and Corby streets. His
back was TO the door and the detectives
| put down their sack of plumber and slipped
| in on each side successfully as to take
Mechan completely by surprise They dis
armed him at once and one OF the revolvers
in his possession bore the number OF one
lost by Gross last Monday night His
! watch was then examined and It also was
found to be one from the same place
! Mechan was much disguised that ne was
taken so suddenly that he, had no chance
to use his gun. He has been arrested many
times in Omaha and always had one gun
at least and sometimes two, as last night
Both were of fine, standard make
Gross was called to the police station and
| when he examined the gun and watch hi
was able to identify them positively.
