SEWER WORKERS HANDICAPPED

Swift and company are perfectlng plans
for nermanent car and machine shops
which are to be erected at the south end
of the beef house. The plans include ca
nacitv enough for the present needs and
are also designed to meet growth in the
business of repair.
Heretofore only light repair work mas
been done in South Omaha and this was
all done on the open tracks. II has oeeh
impossible to do much in the winter time
The new shops will have all necessary
equipment to do the heavy repair WORK
/ and even to construct new cars. Here also
will be the place for all repair work ABOUT
the plant. the construction of trucks coop
erage and box factory.
As the need for this kind of work in
creases with the business of the plant the
shops will be enlarged.
some work remains to be done on the
sixth story and the roof OF the new peer
house; but this work has been advancing
at a rapid rate. The cold weather VIII
put a check on all cement work, which VIII
not bear freezing temperatures. Ihe com
pany hoped to get the building enclosed De-
fore steady, severe weather set in IL Is
likely that with a milder turn the WORK
may be completed thi. season.
Trouble with sewer work.
The National Construction company still
has much difficulty with the Mud creek
sewer. TIL company has been trying Tor
about two months to get the working shie'u
under cover at the east end of the tunnel
section. The work is impeded for the rea-
son that as soon as the clay where tue
sewer bed lies is mined there is a heavy
weight Of sand just above which caves III
in front of the shield. The entire hillside
has caved repeatedly untfl the sand wall
is fifty feet high ready to go down with
the first working of the clay below. a rev
days ago a large mass fell on the oeak
Of the shield, or the hood and flatteheu
II out somewhat. 1t was necessary TO
straighten this out before the work could
advance. The point of the shield IL no"
about two feet from cover and If 1t can
be moved forward twenty feet more 1t Is
thoueht the difficulty will be passed. A
good, hard freeze would help this work
for It would stlffen up the sandy wall and
stop some OF the caving. The history OF
this sewer construction so far has been
one of difficulty and great discourage
ment on all sides.
ChenauIt Inquest OdRy.
The inquest over the body of J. w
Chenault was held in South Omaha a.
10 a. m. today. The autopsy was per
formed last night by DR.. Lavender, th'
~coroner's physician. The deepest wounc
was found in the parietal section OF th'
left lobe of the brain. a point just above tn
left ear. There were also injuries to tn
anterior lobes or the frontal section. Their
was a second cut under the left ear whicl
would have been equally fatal, for It pen
Il afrafad the brain There were no rntR n
marks on the mans body. Two cuts sid
by side and parallel would indicate NOR
than ever that the man was struck in hi
sleep.
He partially recovered consciousness
one time and told DIR. c. f. sapp he dI
not know who had struck him. If this ca
be well established the case will be doubl
hard for the woman.
The officers found a large package
letters which Laura X. Potter had r
ceived. Many Of them will be of a mo
damaging nature. showing the familir
relations she has had with a half dozs
different men.
