BOX CAR THIEVES RAIDED
Four Locked Up and Gang, Police
Say, is Dissolved.
ONE OF WORST IN THE WEST
Five and Ten Thousand Dol
lars Worth of Goods Stolen from
Several Railroads in Last
Six Months.

Between 5000 and $4,000 worth of goods
are now believed to nave been stolen from
six different railroads during the last six
months by a gam Of professional box car
burglars, four alleged members OF which
are now locked up in the city Jail on
charges of burglary.
This conclusion was stated by Chief Of
Detectives Savage Friday morning. He
says the case is being given great attention
by his force of detectives, working in con-
junction with the railroad officers.
More developments of an important and
extensive nature are in store. Before the
case is finished the officers say they ex-
pect to have broken up one of the worst
gangs of railroad thieves in this part of
the country. The recovery of quantities OF
goods still in the hands OF some of the
men and several more arrests are said to
be possibilities.
For months, 1t is claimed by the police,
plans have been made jointly by them and
the detectives of the various roads for the
apprehension of the gang that have been
robbing the cars and yards of the six big
roads that center in Omaha. The Union

Acting under Captain Savage and with
the plans and information gathered by De-

Ferris and Dunn accompanied Detective
Malone to the home of the three men at la
Platte Wednesday night and recovered
several hundred pounds of meats and a
wagon load of merchandise that had been
stolen from box cars.

BELGRADE, April 9-When you arrive
in Belgrade, the little Servian capital with
its broad streets and electric tram, after
spending most of the winter in Turkeys
great cramped, i'll kept capital teemlng
with homeless dogs and filthy beggars,
you feel you nave shaken off the dirt and
discomfort of the east ana are once more
within reach of western civilization.
Though Belgrade has no pretensions what
ever to the artistic, the little bungalowlike
houses and even the palace itself being
painted a bright yellow, still the costumes
OF the peasant women and the brilliant
uniforms of the officers give the other
wise embarrassing streets a touch OF color.
And when one remembers that only forty
two years ago Turkish troops occupied the
town one can but admire its attempts at
cleanliness and the improvements which
have been carried out.
The conventional train which leaves
C~onstantInople every night at s creeps
slowly and cautiously TO the edge of Tur-
kish territory as II afraid of awakening
it's slumbering occupants; in reality be-
cause the Turk can never be hurried. But
once past the Bulgarian frontier the diff
ference in locomotion Is noticed, and the
train speeds quickly over the snow covered
more on either side OF the track. then rise
plains that stretch away for a mile or
abruptly 20 a high and formidable range
of hills which are almost lost TO sight in
a dense mist.

Toward midday the sun came out and
shone dazzingly upon the sea OF white. on
and on the train went for miles. with moth
ing TO break the monotony or to indicate
that the land was not a frozen sea. save
an occasional stumpy tree or a forlorn
wayside station near which a few broad
shouldered peasants in sheepskin coats
were to be seen trudging home.
Before evening the train stopped at
Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, but as the
town, like all others along the line. is a
mile or more from the station, It was only
possible to see some tall government build
ings which stood out conspicuously from
the long, bare, struggling. streets. Al
though only a short distance from the
Ottoman empire there was little here TO
remind one of it-an occasional fez on the
crowded platform, or a couple of work
men In colored sashes and baggy trousers,

and on finding myself in Belgrade the next
morning 1t seemed as If not a trace of the
east remained.
Many of the old inhabitants Of Constan-
tinople. prejudiced in favor Of their city
and seeing no need for its Improvement
assured ne that i should find the streets
of Belgrade very bad, much worse than
theirs. But in only one respect can 1
find any similarity, namely the cobble-
stone paving Of all the roads whose un-
%evenness was made forceab!y apparent on
my first drive. and probably the exorbi-
tant prices demanded by the drivers in
clude the benefit which doctors affirm is
derived from such violent exercise as is
involved in a drive In Belgrade.
Easy Living, Polite People.
Instead Of the steep, tortuous streets of
the great capital, Belgrade, has broad level
streets lit by electricity. And during the
busiest hours of the day when every shop
hangs up its sign saying CLOSED from
1880 to 1885," or when both master and
man are abroad in the evening for an
airing, you can walk with comfort on
the level sidewalk, for even the hamels
(porters), Of whom there are a few, make
way for you politely.
On the main street, built close to the
roadway in the center of the town, is an
ugly two storied yellow building orna-
mented with rude figures Of men and sur
mounted by three cupolas. This is the
palace of King Peter Karageorgevitch.
Though l have passed it at all hours of
the day it never has exhibited an indica-
ton of life-the blinds generally remaining
drawn on the sides visible from the road
way.
II is probable that King Peter does not
care for the view obtained from the win
dows which face this way. For on one side
there Is a monument to M!losh Obreno-
witch, founder OF the rival dynasty and
murderer Of King Peters famous ancestor,
Kara George. On the other side, immedl-
ately beneath the palace windows, is a
grass plot which marks the site Of the
old palace where the late king, Alexander
Obrenovltch. and his wife. Draga, were
brutally murdered five years ago.
Taint of Murder over All.
Many people. friends and followers OF the
Obrenovitches, accuse the present monarch
of being an accomplice to the murder of
Alexander, which put an end to the rival
line. and to that of his uncle, Michael
Obrenovitch. who was shot in 1865 while
