All ChinkS Are
Closely Watched
Every Chinaman Who Enters Depot
is Regarded with Suspicion
Since Sigel Murder.

GAIL eyes are on the Chinese now" said
Station Master Keene at the Union depot.
''Since the murder OF that Sigel girl in
New York, and the beginning OF the hunt
for her supposed slayer, Leon Ling, every
Chinaman who comes into this station is
looked upon with suspicion by the police
and civilians.
The Cinnamon all look alike to most
people now and whenever one of them
comes along toward the gates from a train
you can just see every man and woman
around here cycling him as though he were
the murderer of the missionary.
This morning a chink, about five feet
in height and with a deep squint, came in
from the east. He looked SO much like
pictures of Leon Ling hat 1 gave him
more attention than 1 usually do.
"A travelling man who wac just going to
leave town noticed him also, and came up
to me TO say that the Chinaman looked
mighty like the suspected murderer. He told
me the fellow ought to be watched and we
called a policeman's attention to the fellow.
the cop set our suspicious at rest i'm
mediRtely by telling us that the yellow
man had been living in Omaha for three
or four years. The policeman knew him
we'll.
But that Illustration will show you how
suspicious every white man is of the China
men since that murder In the east"

0SG00D IS UNDER ARREST
Federal Authorities Get the Man
Believed to BE ImpersOnatOr Of
secret Service Oncer.

Walter Osgood, believed to be the man
under indictment by the federal grand jury
OF April 26 IN the charge of im~personating
a government secret service officer and OF
obtaining money on checks through that
Impersonation, was arrested late Monday
afternoon while at work for the Grove
Wharton Construction company at For
tieth n Lake streets. He was working
under the name Of Buck Walters and is
said TO be the man who was secreted in
the bedroom Of his cousIn-in-law. Mrs. Jen-
ME Florino. at Florence. last Thursday
when the federal authorities were
held at the door by the woman and her
daughter.
Walters, as he calls himself, refuses to
be questioned as toNhis Identity or the
truth OF the allegations. The authorities
are convinced. however. that he is the man
they want. Secret Service Agent II. B.
Mills and Deputy United States Marshal
McCallum made the arrest. Agent Mills
first locating the man.
n offense with which OsEood is
charged occurred March 10. When the
grand jury returned the indictment, the
bond was fixed at 1900. This osgood was
unable to furnish and he was committed to
the county jail for safe keeping. He Was
arrested on q capias.
Osgood is said to have made his home at
the Florine house in Florence. Through
their friendship for him. the two women
resisted the officers when they went &c
the house last week TO taxi him into Gus
tody, and so they have been bound oveT
to the grand jury, the charge being resist
ing federal officers.

Saloons Object
to Free Lunch
Operators Cheer Council Committee
When it Recommends for Passage
Prohibitive Ordinance.

Nearly 100 saloon keepers occupying
seats in the rear of the city council cham
Der cbeered Justify when the council COM
mittee Of the whole yesterday afternoon
recommended for passage the ordinance
prohibiting free lunches in saloons or
rooms adjacent to saloons.
c. E.. Fields, representing the saloon
keepers, addressed the council at length
in behalf of the measure. He said that
saloon keepers had in the past made sew
eral agreements to do away with the free
lunch, but that these agreements had in
varlably been broken. The saloon keeper
does not wish his business brought into
d~isrepute, said Mr.. Fields, and according
to him they can maintain a higher grade
business If the free lunch is ordered out
and kept out by city authorities.
The city clerk was instructed to adver-
tise for bids for casualty insurance for
those men in the employ Of the city en-
cheering department who are engaged in
hazardous lines of work. City Engineer
Craig told the councilmen that he thought
It would be cheaper for the city to pay for
casualty insurance for these men in an
Kerous positions than to run the risk OF
having to defend suits for damages.
The claim Of Thomas johnson for per-
sonal injury damage was presented and
referred to the finance committee. Mr..
Johnson was injured by acdefective side
walk on July 3, 1905, and brought suit in
district court for 10000 damages The In
Jury caused paralysis and his attorney
said II is but a question of a few weeks
how long he will live In the hope of
paying him damages for the injury a COM
promise for $1,000 with the city is offered.

SWINGS FROM TROLLEY CAR POLE

q

Vt would rather mans myself than
peddle."
Harry Novick, a Russian Jew peddler, 10
years Of age, who boarded at the home OF
Mrs. Louis Bessell, 1913 Pine street, hanged
himself to a street car trolley role at
Eleventh and Locust streets and is dead.
The man was found by John Larson.
Fifth and Locust, at $40 Tuesday morn
ing. Larson reported TIE matter TO officer
Head, the nearest Omaha policeman, and
he reported II to the coroner's office and
an assistant hastened out to take charge
Of the body.
Larson found the man suspended by a
leather strap, evidently off n horses har-
ness. One end was attached to the pole,
the other wrapped two or three times
around his neck. In his pockets were q 80.
caliber revolver, a knife, a watch still
running, an empty purse and a
letter which proved TO be from his
father in the old country, written in Rus
sian, inquiring why the family had not
heard from him in two months.
Novick was a peddler. He owned his
wagon and horse. But he had tired Of this
work. Children in the neighborhood where
he lived heard him remark Monday after
noon, as he left the house:
Tired of PeddlInE.
II am tired Of peddllng. I wouid rather
hang myself than peddle some more"
He left the Bessel home at 4 p. m. after
DOMINIC his best clothes. He was not
heard of them until the report OF
his death reached Mrs. Bessel. He had
boarded there about three months. and
had been in this country q year. He had
two brothers, who also are peddlers, Sam
Novick, I71s CASTELAR, street, and John,
Eighteenth and Dorcas streets.
Hard luck and failure in his peddllns
business are assigned by his relatives as
the probable cause Of Novick's suicide
They say he threatened to kill himself siN
months ago, when he was peddling rags
but they dissuaded him from the idea, ad.
vanced him his team and wagon and
started him in the fruit peddling business
When he returned home from work a.
4 o'clock Monday he threatened to throw
away his unsold load of fruit, but neigh,
bors bought it out Of pity. Then he donnec
his best clothes, left his team standing
hitched, after removing one Of the reini
from the harness and disappeared.
