HOLE In the Lid.
A fair-sized hole was found In the lid
in South Omaha yesterday afternoon, and
as a result Barney Cogan, who has a sa-
loon at 200 Q street, was landed In jail.
Fifteen men were found in the saloon,
several OF them drinking at the bar. The
door was open both at the back ana the
side. Several times formerly the police
have been trying to see what was being
done. No attempt was made at conceal
ment in this case. and for that reason
It may be thought that an attempt was
being made to see what the attitude OF
the Board Of Fire and Police Commission
ers was concerning the question of Sun
day opening since the presentation of the
recent petition After going to jail Cogsn
secured bonds for his appearance It was
stated at the Jail that complaints would
be filed this morning charging Cogan with
n DreaCn OF the SlocumD law,
Ingram Loses q Hand.
Ed Ingram OF Omaha, who works at the
Lucerne Food Products company's mills,
met with a serious accident Saturday
morning. While working at the mill near
Twenty-ninth and B streets he accidentally
got his hand in one of the feed cutters,
which clipped It completely of. He was
taken to the South Omaha hospital, where
his wound was dressed. He suffered con-
siderable pain yesterday, but is reported
doing better today.
BaIks HOIdup Man.
Edward Trap, a carpenter living at
Thirty-frst and X streets, visited the Jail
last night and reported that as he was
going home last Saturday night in the
vicinity of Thirteenth and L he was &C
costed by two men with revolvers who
made demand on him for his cash. He
said he had no gun In his pocket, but
made a strong bluff of drawing one, but
in reality drew only carpenters rule.
II worked In the dark It could not be
distinguished. The men begged to be al
lowed to back away in the dark. He
thought Il better to let them GO They
had been hiding behind a ruined house at
that point. and around It they disappeared.
Trap then proceeded to his home and as
he had lost no money did not report the
case until last night. The officers were
sorry that he did not send i'm an alarm
at once. Captain Shields and Officer Turn
quist agreed that 1t was just such good ma
ture on the part of many people which
keeps many criminals from being brought
to justice Too many people will not re-
port these holdup jobs, unless they lose
a considerable sum OF money or get
wounded
