MONEY REFUNDED TO L0DGERS
Hotel Clerk Responds to Request
Supported by Two Large
Pistols.

George f. McCreary night clerk at the
Thurston hotel, can now tell exactly how a
man feels when two revolvers are pointed
at him and two determined-looking men
have hold of them. At o'clock Friday
morning two men applied for a room and
after registering their names as II. f. NAL
vern and ]. c. Malvern OF Kansas City,
they gave the clerk dollar and were as
signed to room. A few minutes after the
men had gone to the room they reappeared
in the office and demanded their money
back, saying they did not like the room.
The clerk refused, stating that the rule OF
the house was not to do so after guests
had gone to the room assigned them. The
men continued to argue the matter be-
coming more and more determined not to
leave or take the room. Clerk McCreary,
firing of the talk, turned away, when he
was stopped with the demand:
Say, young fellow; you just hand over
that dollar or 1 will put a hole through
you"
Turning around Clerk McCreary faced 4
big revolver and the hole in it, he says, be-
came bigger and bigger as he looked at it,
Before he had time to answer the demand
made on him the other man drew his re-
volver and informed him that If one hole
was not enough there would be n second
perforation made in very short order.
Il did not wait to be urged further" said
Mr. McCreary, but gave them back their
money, and was mighty glad to see them

SMALL BUTCHER HAS A WORD
Independent Dealer Makes Suggestion as
to Line of Inquiry.
BEEF TRUST HEARING TAKES RECESS
More witnesses Sent for and Grand
Jury Adjourns until Mon
day, when These Men
VIII Arrive.

Pending the arrival of additional wit
nesses who have been subpoenaed, the fed
eral grand jury conducting the Beef trust
inquiry at noon Friday adjourned until 2
p. m. Monday
The witnesses examined Friday morning
were: NJ. A. Price, a travelling man for
the Swift Packing company; Alma jackson,
live stock commission man of South Omaha /;
j. w. Latin, Frank Bliss, r. Gilchrest and
Fred Patterson, South Omaha commission
men; John Powers and W. II. Powers,
farmers and stockmen from Humboldt,
Neb.
twenty-five witnesses have been exam
ined thus far, and practically all phases
of the question of combination between
the packers and commission men gone over.
The total number of witnesses thus far
subpoenaed is seventy-six, and subpoenas
were issued for fifty additional witnesses.
These fifty witnesses will be largely
butchers and Independent meat men out in
the state, with special reference to those
located in the southeastern part of the
state and near to the great packing CEN
ters and dependent upon the packers for
their supplies of dressed meats.
One of the witnesses stated:
There is one phase of the question that
should be looked into by the jury and that
Is the practice Of representatives of the
packers selling direct TO large consumers,
such as the hotels, in localities where the
butchers dare undertake 20 conduct an in
dependent business. Then, again, they will
manage to induce large general stores
to establish a meat market in their
concerns and undersell the independent
butchers and sooner or later drive the
latter out of the business. Another feature
| that should be looked into is the building
up of great chicken purchasing houses IN
| the smaller towns, near the source OF
supply. These chicken houses invariably
are very large establishments and they
| employ agents with wagons TO scour the
country and buy up all available poultry,
dress it at their establishments and put
| it in cold storage for shipment 10 the bis
centers. This dressed poultry is sold 10

Cost Very Small.

such boat is OF very small cost and
certainly the Missouri river is a very ad-
vantageous place for Omaha to maintain a
public floating bath house. There is scarcely
anything that could bring so much pleasure
and help to class Of people who have no
vacation and few luxuries. The park board
spends a large sum OF money in making at
tractive parks and drives and other depart
ments of the municipal government spend
large sums OF money making the city at
tractive for the home owners and all classes
OF people who have means of enjoying the
boulevards, but there is nothing that would
bring so much daily pleasure and health to
the lives of the very poor as a public bath
ing boat anchored to the west bank of the
Missouri river at the foot of Douglas
street
There probably are many boats or barges
on the Missouri river that could be bought
at a low price and fixed up for the pur-
pose. or even a new one would probably
not cost any more than the expense of
laying out golf course in Miller park II
as much. OF course conveniences should be
provided for women and girls as we'll as
men and boys.

dressed poultry to the stores to sell,
but could not do so from the fact that
the dealers were stocked up with the
packing house products. which If unsold
and kept until it became a little rank,
could be returned to the packing houses,
reprocessed and disposed of elsewhere.
These travelling agents can. of course, get
the poultry cheaper of the farmers than
the independent dealers can, because they
buy 1t at live weight at the farm doors,
thus avoiding the trouble and work of
dressing the poultry or bringing it several
miles to market"
Judge Baxter said he thought 1t more
than likely that the Beef trust inquiries
would extend all through next week and
possibly longer. He will urge that the jury
continue in session the entire week and not
take a recess a week from Saturday.
