CLAIMED YOUNG MAN STRUCK HER
Miss Summers Made Complaints at the
Police Headquarters.
ttIofn Mondays Dai,y

Desk Sergeant Alex Mcdonald enter
talns many persons nightly at the po-
lice station. Most of his callers are
men who drop in at all hours to have a
chat with the veteran of the force
Mac" always has a pleasant word for
everybody, and generally he taps" his
fountain of knowledge and Immediately
a fund of information gushes forth
much to the edifcation of his listener
While Mr.. Mcdonald was dealing in
"reminiscences late last night he was
interrupted by young lady who had
a complaint to lodge. Francis Summers
was the name given by the fair one, and
Waseca her home, but for several
months resident of Mankato Miss
Summers stated that while she and a
companion, Viola Lou of GAINESVILLE
were awaiting the arrival of late
train at the Omaha depot, she was
attacked by young man who struck
ner OH the back of the head with his
fist. Il don't propose to be batted
round by young fellows" declared Miss
Summers with considerable indignation
mixed in her voice, "and | want the
police to take charge of the fellow who
hit me-
Sergeant Mcdonald asked the young
lady number of questions, and in a
fatherly tone of voice and with man
nerisms that would have done credit to
Chesterfield himself, advised Miss Sum-
mers to keep off the streets at late
hours of the night; that home was the
best place for girls, and that mothers
should know something of the where
abouts of their daughters. He then
requested Officer Dude to accompany
the girl to the depot for the purpose of
arresting her assailant
"Oh, the fellow has probably made
his getaway by this time said Miss
Summers, as she and Officer Dude took
their departure.

He started out that morning, walking
ahead. The Eskimos were delayed In

When the Eskimos arrived at an

ice was broken about twenty-five yards

could neither read nor write, exhibited
to DIR. Cook, and the latter took a copy

however, he does not intend to pub
lish If Peary's course does not force
him TO do so.
"Dr. Cook gave me a lively account
OF how the young millionaire. Mr..
| Whitney, during the whole winter was
treated like a dog by the giant boat
swain, and how he had calmly wit
messed the sailor bartering DIR. Cooks
provisions for fox and bearskins for
himself. DR.. Cook also had to put a
good face on the unpleasant situation.
He had to beg to get into his own
house and had to make a compromise
with the b%oatswain with strong fists.
