MANY THOUSANDS ON THE CARS
People Take Advantage of the Nice
weather TO Go Out.

EeODlt OF Nne HlCe
Weather TO GO Out.
The pleasant weather of the Fourth was
an incentive for about everybody to pat
ronize the street cars. The morning traf-
fic was exceptionally good, the Council
Bluffs lines getting the bulk of the traf-
fic for Lake Manawa. Along about noon
the cars running to the parks Riverside,
Hanscom. Courtland beach. Krug and Flor
ence, began to do a thrifty business. The
traffic increased by bounds in the after
noon to all the parks. Additional cars
had TO be put on to accommodate the
crowds and the same observation is true
of the Walnut Hill line to Krug park. At
o'clock 1t was almost impossible TO get
even a footing on the Walnut Hill line
and the Courtland beach cars also carried
immense crowds, going and coming dur
ing the entire afternoon.
Extra cars had to be put on all the lines
at night to accommodate the returning
crowds from the parks. 1t is estimated
that between 5000 and 700 people were
hauled to Riverside park during the day
At least half that number went to Court
land beach during the afternoon. and at
least 5000 people visited Krug park. The
Florence line came in for a big days
work as did the Hanscom park line. over
5000 Omaha people visited Lake Manawa
during the day which contributed very
materially 10 the revenues of that line.
Rourke drew some 5000 10 his ball park.
The bulk of the street car traffic was car
ried during the afternoon up to about 6

QUIET TIME FOR THE POLICEMEN
Few Arrests and Old Glory Floats
over the station,

The Fourth OF July spirit prevailed at the
police court and city Jail. Police Magistrate
Berka was at court bright and early and
before the rank and file Of pleasure had
bestlrred itself the police judge was busy
decorating the court room in honor Of the
national holiday and in accordance with his
time -honored custom, large strip OF
bunting was placed across the room just I'm
front Of the judges desk, and all who stood
under the bunting OF stars and stripes did
not leave hope behind, for nearly every
one was discharged in police court. In the
case of one or two serious offenders the
cases were put on for a few days.
The new flag bought for the police sta
tion fioated proudly 10 the breeze from the
high pole in front Of the station. At the
peep OF dawn the large emblem OF liberty
was hoisted and the fabric seemed 10 oe-
come thing Of life, 50 eagerly did Il spread
70 the breeze. The ONCE OF the city jail was
tastily decorated.
From the police standpoint the day was
a quiet one. Up 10 p. m. only seven ar
rests had been registered on the books, but

MURDER GROWS FROM BRAWL
Fatal Shooting at Saloon Near Benson
During Progress Of Picnic,
INTOXICATED ITALIAN HUNTS FOR TROUBLE
Goes with Companions to Make
Trouble and winds Up by killing
Charles Jones, an Electric
Light Lineman.

During a quarrel in the saloon OF William
Huntzinger, on Military avenue just west
of Krugs park Charles Jones of S407
Parker street was shot and instantly killed
by Antonio Pistillo, an Italian employed
on the Union Pacific bridge gang, which
is working on the road near South Omaha.
Pistillo is still at large and is thought to
be in hiding in the woods north of Benson
in the vicinity Of Irvlngton.
Four men, who were with Pistillo at the
time Of the shooting are now in Jail held
as state witnesses. They are II. Jacobsen,
Martin McGovern, both Of whom live in
Benson. and Z. Kilian and Frank Kill
Ian. who reside on Parker street between
Thirty-ffth and Thirty-sixth streets.
The story Of the killing as told by wit
nesses is that about 4:3O o'clock Tuesday
afternoon the five men, the four under ar
rest and Pistillo. came to the saloon from
Benson and at that time were under the
influence of liquor. An Italian society
was holding a picnic in Military park in the
rear of the saloon, and when the five young
men went to the bar-room they demanded
admission TO the park, where, as they told
the bar-keeper. they could guy the Ital-
ians." The bar-keeper refused to let them
go into the park. but they finally sue
ceeded in getting admission and at once
became Quarrelsome.
Intruders Were Troublesome.
They had trouble with almost everyone
in the garden, including Charles Jones, the
young man who was shot. 1t is said that
Jones left the park soon after the trouble
started and the FIVE men who had been
making the disturbance started out after
him. They again started the disturbance
Pistillo, it is said, told Jones, Il can lick
you" One word brought on another and
the italian drew a revolver and shot, strik-
ing his victim in the neck on the right
side, severing the jugular vein. Jones died
instantly A second shot was fired by
Pistillo. but It did not take effect After
the shooting Pistilo returned to the park,
deliberately climbed over the fence and
started northward, without person in the
crowd to interfere, although there were
at least fifty people who saw him going
and knew the circumstances.
A description of the murderer has been
given to the police and a sharp lookout is
being kept. 1t is said that Pistillo has been
stopping at boarding house on South
Twentieth street, although the directory
does not give his name.
Charles Jones, the young man who was
shot, was lineman for the Omaha Elec-
trio Light and Power company and had
been in the employ of this company for
a number of years. His father, George b.
Jones, employed at the Union Pacific shops
in this city. but for the past two or three
weeks has been on a vacation in Ohio.
1t is not now known just what his exact
address is, but he is either in Toledo or
Detroit. A message was sent to both ad-
| dresses last night by Coroner Bradley but
at a late hohr he had not been heard
| from.
