NIGHT POLICEMAN
FOUND WIDE Awake
An Illustration Going to Prove
That they are Tend
ina to Duties.

1t is often heard, that our nigh
policemen, mindful Of comfort and
rest are not attending to their duties
and policing the city after midnight,
but it is not true as was demonstrated
recently at an early hour IN the morn
ing. Late at night. one of the under
takers IN the city was summoned into
the country to prepare corpse for
burial, and he telephone Al friedrich
to send him horse and cutter which
he did, and the undertaken and
driver started out to drive to the home
of the departed. The roads were
badly drifted and after driving few
miles they became separated from the
cutter and the horse no doubt, think
ing he had gone far enough and un-
mindful uf the reason ut the journey,
turned and started for home, prefer
ing to be in his stall rather than out
in the cold wading through snow
drifts. The undertaken went to u
farm house where there was tele-
phone and called up Mr.. friedrich,
telling him to send another rig as the
horse they started out with had left
them and was probably on his way
hume. The team was started and the
driver instructed to watch out for the
other rig. He started up Main and
when passing Third street he beheld
the team and night policeman sitting
in the cutter driving the horse to the
batn-and it was 3 o'clock IN the
morning. which was ocular proof that
the policeman was on duty at that
hour and dlsapproved the saying, that
the policemen sleep nights instead OF
being on duty.
