O'Keefe Runs from Patrol.
Richard O'Keefe accidentally fell into the
deep areaway of the Charles Carlson sa-
loon Tuesday night and 1t was believed that
he had been fatally hurt, for the bottom of
the space was filled with stones and bot
ties. Nels Turnquist happened on the scene
and thought proper to send for the patrol
wagon with the stretcher and have O'Keefe
taken to the hospital. While the officer
was telephoning O'Keefe came to his senses
and being told that the patrol was coming
set off on a run to escape a possible ride
to Jail. He had fallen about fifteen feet,
landing on rough bricks and bottles, but did
not have a scratch.
Woman Fears Loss.
Mrs. Katherine Hess, Danish woman,
is fearful lest she has been defrauded Of
several hundred dollars of hard-earned
money through her confidence in friend
in South Omaha. She had her money in
bank at Des Moines and wished to have 1t
transferred. Not being acquainted with busi-
ness ways she asked an acquaintance to
telegraph her friend in Des Moines to have
the money sent her. So far she has heard
nothing from the money and is afraid by
some means it has gone astray. The po-
lice are watching the case.
Inquest of Clayton Mayer.
The coroner's jury in the inquest over the
body of Clayton Mayer yesterday afternoon
found that Clayton Mayer came to his
death by being struck with a cake of ice
which fell on him from the wagon of the
South Omaha Ice and Coal company. in the
alley between Bwenty-sixth and Twenty
seventh, near b street. at S:45 p. M, July
10, 1910. Further than this statement the
jury made no recommendations. There was
nothing to show carelessness nor lack of
vigilance on the part of the men, who were
busy delivering ice to the houses as they
passed. The evidence was slightly confused
as to the exact way in which the accident
occurred. One woman thought the boy
| pulled the cake of ice out upon himself.
Earl Piper was sure that the boy was on
the ground and that the cake slipped OFF
| the top tier and struck him.
