Place Gan BE seen.
The Board Of Fire and Police Commits
sioners met Saturday afternoon At the
council chamber and settled the fate OF
two more South Omaha saloon keepers by
closing up their places Of business. These
we're the saloons OF Broderick 4 Maslowaki,
at Twenty eighth and ., and Anton schwei-
ger, at rwenty-sixth and p streets. In
both cases the proprietors were accused OF
dispensing liquor on Sunday and in the
latter case II WIS also discovered sohwei-
ger had no license In ais own name, II hav-
ing been originally issued to william
WetSel, a driver for the brewery. The
case OF Patrick Cunningham was taken
under advisement until the next meeting
Of the board. which is Tuesday evening In
the meantime the saloon will remain
closed.
Martin letter said yesterday that the
board was pretty rigid, but that he guessed
he and the rest Of the saloon men would
have to stand It.
The board passed a regulation ordering
ali saloon men to remove all blinds and
screens from before their windows on clos
Ing Saturday night, and keep them down
until Monday morning The police have
been instructed to notify the saloon men
Of this order. Saloons will be closed IL It
is not obeyed
scanIOn Proves Innocence.
The South Omaha police thought they
had made a good catch Saturday morn
ing when they took up Larrie soanlon,
who was suspected OF being one Of the
parties who several months ago fired a
freight car at Rapid City used as bunk
ing quarters for men on the Milwaukee
railroad and in its burning two men came
to their death. The man admitted that he
was in Rapid City at the time, but he de-
MED that he set the fire. He was also in
the same car which was burned and
claimed that he himself barely escaped
with the rest. He said that he had been
Under trial and had been acquitted of any
offense. kilograms were sent to Rapid
City and to Chicago by the police depart
ment and the prisoners story was verl-
fed. The chief accordingly turned him
loose.
Work of Amateur Burglars,
The ONCE OF Bradford Kennedy Twenty
sixth and o streets, was entered Sat-
urday morning by some amateur burglars
A crude attempt was made to open
the safe Several screws of an outer
plate on the safe were taken out. but no
attempt was made to crack the door.
Nothing OF value was taken. but the
drawers and desks were ransaoked. The
police think II the work OF a gang OF boys.
A curious coincidence lay IN the fact that
a clock was taken which had been taken
from the same ONCE under similar CIR
oumstanees over year ago. The clock
was discovered after the first disappear
ance. The boy who took It at that time
IL now serving a sentence at the state re-
formatory.
