OVER BOY is HEARD FROM
stops I'm Kansas City on His way to
the wentworth Military
Academy.

Clarence Over, whose disappearance from
his home last Tuesday night led his parents
to suspect foul play. has turned UP all
right and proper at the Midland hotel in
Kansas City. BY this time, in all prob
ability he is a student of the Wentworth
Military academy at Lexington. A tele-
gram was received from Superintendent
Hoge of the school stating he had received
a letter from Clarence over dated at the
Midland hotel in Kansas City, and he was
on his way TO Lexington. The father at
once wired to the school to admit the boy
and he will be permitted TO follow the die
tates of his heart and take a course in a
military academy.
While Mr.. over was OF the opinion his
son had headed for the wentworth Mill
tary academy, he says he received his first
direct news of his sons whereabouts from
The Bee when 1t learned Thursday night
the boy was in Plattsmouth headed for
Kansas City.
Mr.. Over had talk with the conductor
on the train upon which young over rode
and he said the boy handed him two tick
cts, one for another boy, so Mr.. Over said.
but he did not appear nervous or at all ex-
cited. The conductor, however, had not no
ticed the disappearance OF any Omaha boy.
so took little interest in him. The boy, he
time he could get out OF Kansas City to
Lexington. but excited no more attention
than any other passenger.

GIVES PLAIN TALK TO JURORS
Judge Sears Says Employment by
Corporations should Not
Prejudice Them.

Jurors who allow the fact they are en-
ployed by corporations to prejudice them in
favor OF other corporations in damage suits
in the district court came in for a severe
roasting at the hands Of Judge Sears
Friday morning The incident occurred
while a jury was being empanelled in the
case Of Ike Rabinowitz against the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway company.
One of the jurors said he was employed as
clerk by a local bank and would be
prejudiced In favor OF the street railway
company because 1t did business with his
bank. He declared it would require more
evidence to induce him to return a verdict
against the street railway company than IL
would in a case in which that corporation
was not a defendant Similar answers had
been given by two other jurors in a case
against another corporation that had been
tried few days previously.
The third instance OF the same kind
caused Judge Sears 10 denounce this atti-
tude in jurors The juror said even IL the
court instructed him to return a verdict for
the plaintifr he did not think he could do
so.
You are excused" said Judge Sears
with some vigor. at Is a sad state of at
fairs when jurors will admit that they
would allow the fact they are employed by
corporations TO cause them 20 break their
oaths as jurors. I can't understand why
business men should Instruct their EN-

BIG DEMAND FOR PISTOLS
Men and Wemsn Flock to Gun Stores to
Arm Themselves
lMPELLED BY RECENT DEpRtDATIoN'
One Firearm Dealer Says Revolvers
of Certain Brand and Size
is Already Ex-
hausted.

Due TO the general fear caused by recent
murders, holdups and burglaries the hard
ware retailers of Omaha have been reaping
a harvest of profit on the sale of revolvers
this week. William Townsend of the Town
send Gun company looked over the books
of the company Friday morning and found
that the sale of revolvers since last sun
day was about equal to that Of the entire
six months previous. The other gun stores
OF the city report similar condition.
I'VE have had such a business that the
supply of certain makes of revolvers is
running very low" said Mr.. Townsend.
In fact, we haven't a gun left IN one size
of Smith & Wesson."
Women have been here by the dozens
and bought revolvers. The majority of
them said they wanted the weapons to
keep in their rooms. but a good many
were working girls. who go TO their homes
any time between and 10 o'clock at night
and they wanted the guns TO carry on the
street Some bought very small revolvers
to carry inside their waist fronts. and
others bought larger guns to carry in a
belt under their coats"
Mr.. Townsend thinks a revolver kept him
from being robbed few nights ago on
Dodge street across from the high school.
Three men stopped In the shadow OF tree
ahead OF him and separated two going on
one side and one on the other. He hid his
diamond ring and stick pin in his clothes
and placed his revolver in his overcoat
pocket. When he came to the trio one
stepped out and asked him for a match,
which looked suspicious. for the other two
were smoking. Mr.. Townsend pulled out a
match In one hand and his revolver in the
other. The three men laughed at the sight
of the weapon and Mr.. Townsend passed ON
