Bergman Scores
Park Board for
Dry Fountains
cts a Downright Shame After Mrs
Carter's Gift" He Tells
DR., Nipple.

After all Mrs. Salina c. Carter has done
for this city, giving us the magnificent
Levi Carter park among other muniflcent
gifts, I think II is a downright shame hat
the Water board cannot do something to
get water in the drinking fountains this
good woman gave to the city OF Omaha."
These are the words addressed by Colonel
Ed P. Bergman, president Of the Board Of
Park Commissioners, to DR.. A. H. Nipple,
member Of the Water board, in making an
informal request that the board do some
thing and get water turned on in the foun-
tains.
Mrs. Carter is compelled to sit by her
window and gaze out on one of the foun-
tains she gave the city which is so dry
that a mosquito would not come within
100 feet OF it, continued the president of
the Park board. TT is a downright shame,
that's what it is, and something ought 20
be done"
Or. Nipple advised the Park board presi-
dent that the Water board was ~endeavor-
ing to get the water company TO furnish
water to the fountains. but that the board
does not feel like putting In meters at each
fountain as requested by the company.
This would cost about g, 800, and II
would take until the middle of July to do
the work." said DIR. Nipple. I'VE have
discussed the matter every which way and
have consulted our attorneys and hope that
something can be done, but when or how
l am not in a position to say
Water is flowing in ten drinking foun-
tains in Omaha, among which is the me-
mortal fountain at the intersection Of Cap
itol avenue and Seventeenth street.

Cigar Girl Tells
the Truth About
the Fresh Guys"
Those Cholly Boys Who Think Ten
Cents Buys Them License for
Her Company.

The good looking cigar girl was mad.
She WAS more than mad. She was boiling
over. She had dug up the Ratchet and was
putting on her war paint with a vengeance.
The observant friend saw the signs Of
trouble from afar and knew there was
mixing OF war medicine.
1T makes me so darn mad" said the
good looking one aforesaid, every time l
think OF II l got more angry. Just be-
cause l have to stand here and sell cigars
for a living every fresh guy in the country
who spends 10 cents thinks he has a
license to ask ms to go TO a theater' to
dinner with him. or something like that.
Say" she demanded, do these Cholly
boys think l was just born? They must
think 1 just happened. They make me
tired. 1 suppose they think that all my
life l have been sitting around on a toad
stool somewhere just waiting for them TO
smile and make me happy.
ASK ME to go to dinner with them!"
Here she glanced at the observant friend
for the whole thing.
Say, do look like I needed something
to eat? Don't 1 look as though 1 were
used to at least one meal a week? Do you
suppose 1 would never get to a theater
unless some fresh drummer bought me a
ticket?"
Presently she cooled off somewhat.
20, 1 know all men are not like these
fellows 1 am talking about. l have been
here long enough to know something about
human nature. l ave them all classified
the ouly trouble is that every day I have
TO make some new classes. or course,
there are men who attend to their own
business. but they are not the kind who
get fresh the minute they see a girl.
well, goodbye, here comes a customer.
Just stick around within a block or two
and II he gets gay you will know 1t. for |

BLAKEFIELD DEATH ACCIDENT
C0R0NER'S JURY DECIDES
Adds Nothing as to Suicide-WhiskS
Bottle IL Found Near the
body.

John Brakefield, who was fatally in
jured by a switch engine and died with.
out explaining how he was run over OF
where his home and relatives are, has not
yet been lifted completely out Of the I'M
certainty that surrounds the case.
Coroner Heafey's jury at the inquest
Thursday morning partially explained the
case in their verdict, which was as fol-
lows:
We the Jury, find that John Blakefield
came to his death by accidentally being
coach No; II Of the Chicago. st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad, by lying
on the track one and one.half blocks north
Of Nicholas street at II p m: Tuesday,
General hospital Wednesday morning.
1t took over forty minutes for the six
men of the Jury to frame up the verdict
to suit their views and the evidence that
had been introduced. When 1t had been
signed by Foreman Joseph Teahon and the
other five Jurors, there was still much I'M
recorded that had definite bearing on the
case.
The name as given In the verdict and
other coroner's papers was wrong, for ac-
cording to the mans own signature before
he was run over, his name was Brake
field, not Blakefield.
Several witnesses testified that when
Brakefield was picked up after being run
over, the smell of whisky had been strong
on his breath and more whisky, in an un.
opened flask, was found within a few fee
OF the body on the railroad right-of-way
The body is still at the morgue awaiting
positive Identification and the instruction
OF friends or relatives. Several persons
have called to view IL.
Brakefield was about five feet, nine or
ten inches In height. of medium weight, OF
rather muscular build and had a slightly
brown or yellow complexion, resembling in
face a foreigner, with heavy black hair
and brown eyes. He was about % years of
age.
| Brakefield is known to have worked a
short time at Atkinson, Neb., for the Chi
cago, st. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha road.
He cashed a check for $3.50, the wages he
received there, in Omaha a few days ago.
He also bought some clothing at the Pal
ace furnishing goods store.

that Birdsall had to report. He had
traced Atkins to the haunts of certain
unsavory Italians; he had struck the
trail, in fine. To be sure, it ran under
ground and was lost in the brick
walled and slimy-timbered cellars Of
Chinatown which harbored every sin
