Small Burglar
Escapes from
Detention Home
Ike Calm, Ten Yesr.0ld Prisoner
Steps to Door to Shake Buster
and Then Flees.

Ike Calm, a member Of the gang OF five
boy burglars arrested last week, made a
spectacular escape from the Detention
home Saturday night and has not been seen
since. He was in the charge Of one Of the
teachers and was busting one OF the
rooms After working quietly for some
time he innocently asked IL he might step
TO the door and shake out his dust rag.
The moment he reached the door the
l0-year-old culprit was speeding for tall
weeds and liberty as fast as his Juvenile
legs would carry him. A crowd of small
boys at the home Immediately gave chase.
but Calm was fast on his feet and reached
the cover of the weeds and made good his
getaway.
At the special session of Juvenile court
held Monday morning for the trial Of the
boys. Fred Kelly, aged 16, the oldest of
the gang and said to be the leader, was
sent to Kearney by Judge sutton. 1t de-
veioped that young Kelly was the lad
sought by the juvenile officers about ten
days ago after he had made a violent at
tack upon his mother.
George Martin, II years old was paroled
to Father Flanagan OF the Benson orphan
age, Parnell Norton and Carl Martin, the
two remaining members OF the gang, were
left at the Detention home, as they are SC
young, each years of age, that Judge SUIT
ton was not inclined to be severe. 1t is be.
lieved that the younger boys were in.
fluenced In their burglary operations By
the older boys.

Main Thing II 60 Elect
Dahlman.

Joel w. West. working in the interest Of
Congressman Hitchcock. has finally given
up hope OF arranging a Hitchcock slate for
the legislature In Douglas county.
Mr.. West has been at work on this task
for the last ten days, but without success.
The only two men of the whole bunch who
have pulled out are John a. Moore, who
quit early in the game, or rather, refused
to stand after being filed, and q. M.
Bonce, sanitary inspector In the employ
of Health Commissioner Connen The lat
ter is making no bones of the fact that he
Is in an angry mood over being sidetracked,
while everybody else has remained on the
list.
The negotiations had got so far that but
four of the candidates for senator were 10
be left at the primary. John e. Reagan
was conceded to be a fixture at the start.
because the Dahlman men insisted that he
must be one OF the candidates Then a
compromise was reached as to South
Omaha. which would leave Jerry Howard
and DOC" Tanner to fight 1t out. The
great stumbling block came on the elimina-
ton of c. S. Montgomery or "Dick" Hor-
ton. Friends Of both men regarded them as
the best timber offered by the democrats
and insisted both ought to be slated as
against any of the other candidates. Nc
| agreement could be reached and at this
writing the whole field of senatorial and
house candidates is on the track, and &c
stay
Chairman Flynn of the Dahlman cam
paign committee, asked as to the legisla-
tive ticket said: Beyond insisting thai
John e. Reagan be one Of the men, IL g
slate was to be made, we are taking nc
hand in the legislative fight at all. Oui
particular work Is to nominate Mayor
| Dahlman, and we expect to do that"
So the democrats go into the primary
next week with seven candidates for tht
senate and seventeen for the house, excep
1t is generally understood Hitchcock,
friends are now shaping up a list to which
he will give his endorsement and for which
his supporters will be urged to vote.
