Secret Service Men
Working in Omaha

Hair dozen government secret service
operatives have been quietly at work
in Omaha during the last week in con-
nection with the attempted jail delivery
a week ago at the federal penitenuary at
Leayenworth. Kan. They have finished
their investigations and have gone else
where in search of more data on clues
picked up here and in Kansas City.
That the government was making an
investigation here was not known until
yesterday when II was learned that John
Callahan, I'm whose possession twelve re-
volvers. four sticks of dynamite and 200
cartridges were found. was formerly
known in Omaha, and has friends here
WHO would be likely to assist him In
such a plot as was hatched within the
walls OF the prison Callahan is serving
a fifteen-year sentence for receiving
stolen postage stamps, and is known as
a desperate character, although his con-
duct has been most exemplary while in
prison
The government men while here would
have nothing to do with the police de-
partment, and the result OF their investi-
cations is not known. The police de-
partment has received descriptions of the
guns found in the prison and efforts are
being made to find out where they were
purchased.
Three weapons are said to have fur
nished the strongest clues in the posses
sion OF the government sleuths, and II Is
possible that they might have been Sc
cured here.

to take the bulk of the charity work of

HOTEL CHEF SHOT IN LUNG
Young Frenehman from Council
Bluffs in Serious Condition.
AssAILANTs ARE NOT KNOWN
MOreO IL Unable TO Tell who shot
Him, but Indicates vacant
Lot as Place of the
Assault.

Mysterious circumstances surround the
shooting Monday night OF John Moreo. a
French cook, who fell exhausted about
G o'clock Tuesday morning in restaur-
ant at 1918 Douglas street. In his IRA
tional condition Moreo is unable TO tell
connected story concerning the shooting.
He is now In st. Josepn's hospital and
probably viii die
Moreo, who is a stranger had been en-
ployed as second cooR. during the last
two days, at the Grand hotel in Council
Bluffs. Shortly after O'Clock yesterday
morning he staggered Into the Douglas
street restaurant and asked for place
TO lay down. lie was refused the privilege,
but walters In the restaurant started to
assist him to the police station, near
which he fell unconscious. From there he
was taken TO the Roma, an Italian hotel
at Eleventh and Dodge street, and Po-
lice Surgeon Peppers was called.
Examination disclosed that Moreo had
been shot, a bullet having penetrated his
body. The bullet entered the body below
the right shoulder blade, plowed through
the lungs and came out through the right
breast. Immediately upon determining
his condition Moreo was rushed to the
hospital.
The police are investigating the circum-
stances of the shooting, but owing to the
condition Of the victim they cannot get
start on the case. However, II is thought
that the shooting took place between 8
and o'clock yesterday morning. as John
Washington, a negro who runs a lunch
stand near Eleventh and Douglas streets
said he was sleeping in his stand and
thought he heard a shot early in the morn
ing, but not hearing another one went
back to sleep without investigating 1t. AS
q result the police have but one theory at
present, and that being that Moreo was
held up and put up fight and was shot
and possibly robbed.
~ Or. Harris, who is attending Moreo. at
tempted TO get the man to talk while he
was in the hospital, but the Frenchman
either cannot or will not tell his story
He said he did not know who it was that
shot him, but that was all that could be
gotten out of him. DR. Harris said the
man was In a, very serious condition and
that his chances for recovery were slim.

BEHIND THE BARS

The negro desperate, Green
Dismuke, was brought in last
Friday. Deputy Sheriff Hollo-
way accompanied by the Marshall
of Hope, brought him in from
Hope by private conveyance
Friday morning.
Immediately following Dis
muke's incarceration in the
Nevada County Jail, large num-
bers of negroes as well as several
white people gathered about and
in the Jail. Those who managed
to get in talking distance of him
questioned him as to his deed.
To the first question propounded:
"Dismuke are you not sorry for
the awful deed you have COM
mitted?", he replied; No the
old woman, (meaning his mother
in-law,) amt dead. l wish she
was. Those coming away from
the Jail that had heard the words,
were ewestriken at the tone of
the criminals words.
Dismuke will await the action
of the Grand Jury. 1t only
means Indictment and then trial.
Public sentiment states that the
next step is the gallows.
