Tramp Rooster is
Cock of the Walk
Bird Of 0verbearing Mien, Wholly
Minus Family Tree, Appears in
North Omaha.

A tramp rooster, torn, tattered and dusty,
has established himself In the north part
of town near Fortieth and Patrick streets,
and is making a route every morning in
search Of his daily bread. Contrary to
the usual domesticated character of such
creatures. he is entirely untamed and un-
familiar with the hand or bride Of man.
Housewives are accustomed to his early
morning calls and expect him as surely
as they expect the iceman.
All the tame roosters in the neighborhood
arc afraid Of him and shy from his ap-
proach as IL he were a typical highway
man. Such an outcast is he that no self
respecting hen will pay any attention to
him. His name, his anteoedents and his
true character are all shrouded in mystery,
for all attempts to corral him and identify
him have proved unavsIling. But all the
time he is busy and his depredations are
a menace to the safety of every truck
farm in North Omaha. A reward will be
offered by John Grant Pegg of Forty
third and Patrick avenue for his capture,
alive or dead.

DRUNK MAN WITH VISIONS
GIVES THRILLS TO PASSERSBI
George Fitzgerald Had the Notion
He Was n Prize Fighter in
Disguise.

Imagining In the depths of his alcoholic
visions that he was Jim Jeffries, George
Fitzgerald crouched in a terrifying attitude
for fifteen minutes at the corner Of Seven
teenth and Farnam streets Sunday noon
and warned passersby to stand away. He
was dangerous man and he knew 1t. He
Initiated every known style Of prize fight
ing to the amusement and CONSERVATION
OF the crowds returning from the down
town churches, and had an all round good
time with himself. Some unkind person,
who thought he was crazy with the heat,
telephoned the police ana he was taken
to the station to continue his posing in a
cooler place.

Tells of the Omission Of the Initiative
and Referendum from the
Document.

Tom" Flynn, president of the Dahlman
Democracy and the new chairman of the
democratic county committee, speaking Of
the omission Of an initiative and referen-
dunn plank from the platform, said:
II note Congressman Hitchooeks criti-
cism of the omission. We are all for the
proposition so far as l know, and that
fact is generally understood. That it Is not
specifically Endorsed in the platform cuts
no figure at all. A good many propositions
were engaging our attention, with every
thing to be done in short time. and the
need for such a plank never occurred to
anyone"
On the Patrick candidacy Mr.. Flynn was
not loquacious, but he indicated satisfac-
ton over this newest development and

dead of fright at the entry of this new
contestant.
