City Engineer Diseases Recent Trip

WOMAN ACCUSED OF LIFTING LID
Keeper of boarding House Charged
With Selling Beer-TwO Cases
and Federal License
Are Found.

80 much has been said of late concern
ing our recent trip to Minneapolis, Chi
cago and st. LOUIS said G. w. Roberts,
the city engineer Of South Omaha, yester-
day, that l think perhaps the simple truth
of the objects we sought may be timely.
In the first place the company which in
vited us to make the trip Is not a con-
tractor. 1t holds no contracts with any
municipalities. 1t deals with no cities. It
has a large plant for the treatment of paw
ing block with creosote at st. Louis. Like
any similar corporation II makes 1t a point
to demonstrate the good qualities Of 'he
article 1t handles. For this reason we were
invited. and this party included the mayor,
the city council and myself. We left South
Omaha July II, and visited Minneapolis
first. We were driven In automobiles over
fully $50 miles of paving of all kinds in
that city. The Chicago visit was similar.
In st. Louis we visited the main factories.
At no time did we come to any agreement
concerning the use of creosoted block Cor
South Omaha. II such a pavement is ever
used in South Omaha it will be by the
choice of the people before whose property
the streets are paved. I am positive that
the South Omaha council is at present bet
ter posted on the best paving material than

and has a number of roomers. She was
found to have in her possession a fedora
license. She declared that Chief Briggs
had given her permission. The chief said
last night: II told Mrs. Hall she might
keep what beer she wanted for her owr
personal use but I did not give her per
mission to sell even to her boarders. Thu
government license is sufficient evidence
to my mind tina she was selling liquor.
She was held in lieu of 800 bonds.

Judge Cockrell
Tells Women to
Hold Tongues
They Talk Too Much, He Says, in
Case Where Pistols Are
Handled Carelessly.

Women talk too much; they ought. to
be a little more careful II Is a wonder
they don't get into trouble more often tina
they do. Women who handle guns ought
to be watched. I warn you women to hold
your mouths hereafter, or else you prob
ably will get into serious trouble"
This was the admonition Judge George
c. Cockrell handed out in his justice shop
at the conclusion OF the trial OF Peter
Starkel against Anna McAlllster ct al. in
which starkel, az the defendant, was try
ing to prove that Mrs. McAlister had
threatened TO kill him.
The evidence brought forth was INSULT
Client to prove the charges preferred and
Judge Cockrell dismissed the case with
the foregoing warning.
In the evidence submitted by the prosecu.
ton It was shown tina Mrs. McAllister
and her ~neighbor, Grace Mccarthy, had
pointed a revolver at the plaintiff, but I,
could not be proved that they had threat
ened in words to shoot him.
With the conclusion OF this case the
Judge heard one in which Mrs. McAllister
brought the same charges against Starkel
that he had preferred against her in the
first case. In this case It was not proved
that Starkel had threatened to kill Mrs
McAllister and the case was also dis
missed.
Starkel was rebuked by Judge Cockrell
during the hearing Of the second trial for
a breach Of court rules. When Grace Nc
Carthy was testifying for the plaintiff she
said something that starkel did not like
and he arose, calling her a fat woman and
saying she lied.
Judge Cockrell made him sit down and
told him he would fine him II he opened
his mouth again during the hearing. Star

for she makes so much money that she
can afford to hire a private secretary,

Of Oxford and fully qualified to attend

Mrs. Coonie's and that sagacious dar-
ing which most great money makers
have. One by one she has acquired a
number of rich mining claims. and in
others she has an interest, acquired by
grub stalking" the discoveries. She
is sole owner of valuable freight car

Monkey Eatina Eaaie.

A monkey eating eagle from the
Philippines. the first specimen ever
captured alive. has taken up residence
at the London geological gardens! As
he sits on a stump in his large cage,
blinking gray, eyes at his new sur
roundings and with the long crest of
dirty brown feathers on the top of his
head rumpled as though he had been
running his fingers through his hair.
he looks ridiculously like rather
worried human being. He has the lar
gest beak In the eagle house--a black,
savage looking hook an inch deep. His
body is dark brown, with breast feath-
ers of dirty cream color. His full
name is Pithecophaga jefferyi. or JEFF
fery's monkey eating eagle. He was
raptured by means of snares set around
the body of young pig. He will
have to abandon his penchant for mon
keys in favor of a diet of chickens and
ducks
