strike situation in South Omaha Saturday
night. The police made many runs to
places where men were reported congre-
gated, but found no crowds on arrival.
1t is believed that no bricks were thrown
in South Omaha. At Fortieth and Q
streets a man fell off the car about s p.
m, and received a slight scalp would. He
was intoxicated and lay in a stupor until
the car had gone on its way. The crew
either did not see him when he fell or
did not care whether he was picked up
or not. Officer O'Rourke was on the cor
ner and called the patrol. When it ar
rived with a squad of officers, including
the chief, It was decided to allow the man
to go home. While the patrol was on the
way a large crowd gathered on the cor
ner, but it was in ali respects orderly.
A broken trolley at Twenty-second and
L streets called forth another crowd until
the car moved on again.
Few cars went to South Omaha after 9
p. m. and those which came in brought
only a scattering number of passengers.
