Hastings Man Lends
Money to "0ffioer"
With Poor Results

A sad tale of woe, without much chance
of being remedled. was told to federal
authorities by s. T. Lockhart of Hast
ings, who came TO Omaha and spent sew
eral days In trying to start official &C
tion against q man who borrowed &
from him and left a trunkful Of personal
effects as security.
A stranger, who gave his name as Olaf
Larsen and said he was a second lieu
tenant induced Lockhart to let him have
the money for railway transportation to
Salt Lake City. Later the Hastings man
regretted his act of friendship and de
cided to prosecute the beneficiary OF his
kindness.
But when he reached Omaha and had
interviewed several federal officials, he
found he had no case against the youns
man on the intended charge OF imper-
sonating a government officer 1t turned
out that Larsen, who also used the name
OF Wilmar, had merely said he had
served for thirteen years and was a sec
ond lieutenant. not mentioning the army
or navy. Lockhart had simply concluded
that because Larsen had some sort of
uniform and a sword and gun, he was in
the government service.
II now appears from letters in Larsen s
trunk that he had worked for the Pacific
Whaling company in Alaska. and also
probably belonged TO some uniformed
lodge Federal officials say that the
Hastings mans only probable recourse
will be to sell the trunk and contents
Cor whatever they will bring.

Wants to Ship Motor
Up Missouri by Boat

Omaha is liable to lose at least one pros
pective auto tourist through this city
this summer. because the proposed river
navigation scheme viii not be in opera
ton.
Theodore II. Becker of Russellville KY,
has written Postmaster J. c. Wharton,
asking the river steamboat or barge line
price for Transporting passengers and a
large auto from ST. louis to Omaha. II
is supposed that Mr.. Becker heard of
the advantages of Omaha as the gateway
10 the west for tourists and trade. and
planned TO start from this city on west
ern auto tour this summer. Now that he
will be unable to transport his auto this
far oy water, and as rail freight would
be much more expensive, II is feared Kan
sas city will be his starting point, az
there is a river barge line to that point
from 81 Louis.
