BURGLARY ATL-D OFFICE
PROVES FALSE ALARM
D. [. Jackson Runs AfOuI of False Friends
and Has an ExperienCe-Was
DOped and Robbed

On Monday evening about l l clock
the police authorities were called to
the Office OF the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co., to investigate burglary that was
supposed to be taking place. The
night officer, Marshall Sampson could
not be located at once and DR.. Judah
hearing the news loaded four men into
his car and started for the mill office.
Arriving on the scene, the front door
glass was found broken and one side
window open, which made it appear
that something wrong was taking place
on the inside or had already happened.
Marshall Sampson arrived few minutes
after DR.. Judah and his party and the
house was quickly surrounded. The
doctor was the first to 60 into the office.
entering by window and finding a
man .crouching on the floor, covered
him with his gun. He was harmless
however his only weapon being poe
ket knife and seemed to be in dazed
condition, probably due to drink. His
clothes were also soaking wet, indi-
eating that he had been in the river.
Finding that he was in no condition to
talk he was removed to the Leaven-
worth Hospital where he spent the
night.
The following morning the man ex-
planned as best he could how he hap
pened to be found in the Office and his
straight forward story so much i'm
pressed Mr.. Gardner, general manager
of the mill, that on his suggestion
he was given his liberty.
An investigation showed that Jack
son, as his name turned out to be, who
had worked for the lumber company at
different times in the past eighteen
months, arrived here the first OF the
week and fell in with two men who
represented that they were working for
the company, and told Jackson he
could share their shack near the mill
until he could get work. They had a
few drinks about town in the evening
and later started to the shack. Here
Jackson's memory fails to work and
he thinks he was doped. He cannot
recall anything until the next morn
ing. He says he remembers being in
the river but does not know how he
got there. Also the next morning the
so he had in his pocket was gone.
The supposition is that he was taken,
or wandered up to the mill Office where
he was seen in company with two men,
and either fell against or was pushed
thru the glass. His record while en-
ployed by the mill company was good,
and he appears to be sensible and
sober young man. No charge was pre-
fered against him. What became OF
the two men who claimed to own a
shack is not known. They probably
got out of town on some night train.

MAN THOROUGHLY
BAT" :" JUDGE Says
Husband Who Drove FAM
lily Into Storm and Beat
Wife, Held Under Bond
WOMAN ALSO
BADLY BEATEN

Frank ziemeski, of No. AIS East
Third street. was held in City Court
today under a $500. peace bond for the
Court of General Sessions on charge
of breach Of the peace preferred by
his wife.
The case had been continued until
today in order that Court officer
Green could make an investigation
and he reported that Mrs. Iiemeski
was in a ptiful condition as result
of being beaten by her husband; that
she has a bruise on her left eye, an
other on her cheek and her lips we're
swollen and black and blue.
Mr.. Green said ZiemesN had cut a
door with a hatchet and broken the
door knob. He had torn down new
window curtains and destroyed them,
and also torn up three dresses belong
ing TO his children, a dress belonging
70 his wife, and two of his tZie-
mesk's) shirts. The entire house. Mr..
Green declared was in disorder Dur
ing the thunder storm of last Thurs
day night, ziemeski, according to Mr.
Green. drove his wife and one of the
children into the yard and kept them
there until the storm was over The
week before he drove his sister-in-
law from the house.
Mr. Green declared that the state
ment made by ziemiski that he was
robbed of his entire weeks wages
was untrue, because Ziemiski had 81
when arrested and left % cents ai
home on the kitchen table. Mr.
Green found a partly filled half-pini
whiskey bottle in the house.
Judge Churchman said Ziemisk
was a thoroughly bad man and should
be punished. ziemiski was ir the
City Court before once for breach d
the peace and for disorderly conduct
or. another occasion. On the breach
of the peace charge he had been hels
under peace bond and severely
scored in the Court of General Ses
sions. Judge Churchman thought h'
ought to be sent TO the workhouse.
