TO CHANGE POLICE AROUND
Commissioner Kugel Wants All to
Become Familiar with Greater
Omaha.
MOTOR COPS TO HAVE STATIONS

A Dundee town marshal walking beat

darme directing traffic at sixteenth and
Farnam streets and an Omaha copper alb
sorbing packing house aroma, are among
the possibilities of the Greater Omaha
situation soon to be confronted by the
city officials.
Until the governors proclamation has
been received and the consolidation has
actually been declared in effect. Superin-
tendent Kugel of the police department
does not want to be precipitous in his re-
marks. He has, however, some ideas along
the line of his prospective enlarged duties,
For one thing, he says he will change
the policemen around, so that men now
working in South Omaha may become
familiar with Omaha proper. and he even
believes the Dundee policeman would
be broadened by having experience In
Omaha and South Omaha. Under the
present Omaha system the policemen are
changed every month, both as to shifts
and beats.
South Omaha policemen now work I'M
der a double-shift system, while under
the consolidation they will work under
a three-shift system. There are now
eighteen members of the South Omaha
police department. Mr.. Kugel believes
that the introduction of the three-shift
system in the south territory Of Greater
Omaha will require more men.
With reference to the proposition oil
establishing a substation in the north
part Of Omaha, Mr.. Kugel declares there
is no necessity at this time for such an
addition. He is inclined to believe that
it may be we'll to place motorcycle men
at some of the outlying fire houses. thus

ENCL|SHMEN ARE
 SAVED BY A BOY

How school boy of Paris. six teen years old, who was spending his vacation with his aunt at Rove. saved ten Englishmen, escaped pris- oners. and hid them for days in a garret while the Germans were in possession of the town. is told in a letter published in the Figaro written by French soldier, says an exchange.
 According to the letter. nine Eng fish soldiers, with an officer. who had succeeded in escaping from the Germans, arrived at Rove the day before the Germans occupied the place. and, tired out, managed to drag themselves to the house where the boy and his aunt were stopping They were received with open arms. but had hardly installed themselves before the German advance guard came pouring into the town. The boy hurried the Englishmen into the garret. There they huddled while a German officer was knocking at the door The officer, well in formed through spies of the resources Of the town, insisted on quartering in disused chapel on the property twenty men.
 In the house at the time besides the boy and his aunt were women refugees, who took shelter there The party in all numbered sixteen. The lad tried to make himself as useful as possible to the Germans in order to keep in their good graces. and succeeded in gaining their con fidence. The great trouble was food. The Germans had placed the entire place on rations. 200 grams of bread person day. With six teen rations of bread they were fore ed to sustain twenty-siX. However, the boy managed to forage about to satisfy the cravings of hunger

 Baby Bloodhound

At last Fairbanks has real bloodhound, a thoroughbred, which arrived from the Outside few days ago on the steamer Alaska. It is a pup presented to L. F. ProtZ- man by a friend in Portland, Ore gon, and is being kept by the feder- al authorities at the court house, where he will be trained for chasing criminals.
 The original cost of the pup and the cost of getting him sent in here amounts to more than s2O0. On the way down the river Governor Strong became much attached to the little dog, and when he arrived here he asked MT ProtZman for the right to give him a name. The request was granted, and the governor christened him Champ Clark.

who were terribly shocked by shells which exploded near them. One sergeant, boy of eighteen. who re gently left Netiey for a trip to the home of relatives in Manchester, was hurled through the air for fifty feet by the force of an exploding shell, not a fragment of which touched him. Both of his ear drums were broken. and he was unconscious for several days. His brain was so af- fected that he was unable to see anything for weeks In case he be came the least excited.
 When he left the Netley hospital he still walked somewhat unsteadily and complained that dark spots ire quently appeared before his eyes. Physicians get such patients away from hospitals as speedily as possi- ble. so that they may be more free from military surroundings and re minded less frequently of their eX- perienCes in the field.

Carrier Pigeon
 Seen On Healey

William Eisenmenger, who arrived the Healey river, tells of having seen a genuine carrier pigeon which has made that section of the coun- try it's home. He is now attempting g to trap the bird. and, if successful, will bring it to Fairbanks.
 Eisenmenger first learned of the presence of the bird from the In dians. They reported to him that they had seen strange kind Of bird which had wire or band at tached to it's leg and upon investi- gating the statement MT. Eisenmen- ger knew the pigeon to be of the kind which are used to carry mes sages.
 It seems that the Indians became superstitious about the pigeon when they saw it by reason of the fact that they knew of no such bird. They told Mir Eisenmenger that it was shot proof, as they had tried to kill it several times. but it is evident that their aim was bad.
 The pigeon seems to be very wild, according to the report of MT. Eisen- menger, but he hopes to be able to trap it and has enlisted the efforts of the Indians with that end in view. ascertain whether or not a message was attached to the foot of the bird as it is very wild and he could not approach it very closely, but he states that it has metal band of some kind around one of it's legs.
