Place Large Bet on
Game, Now Look for
Chap Who Held Coin

How would you like to bet $50 on each
ball game OF a double-header, break
even. and then call for your cash. only
to find that the stakeholder had Nafted
hence as down on the summer breezeY
or course everybody knows you nave

Gail Reingold, who conducts barber
shop in the Carleton hotel building says
he has experienced the sensation, ana
wouldn't recommend II for anybody In
hot weather.
Reingold asserts that he gave the stakes
TO John Shepherd. night clerk OF the
Carleton hotel, to put in the safe pend
ing the outcome Of Thursdays double
header between Omaha and Wichita. lie
bet that Omaha would win the first game
and lose the second. Omaha won them
both so the bets were n draw.
Gail says he called for his money later
hut Shepherd had decamped. and the
day clerk knowing nothing OF the trans
action could not help him any.
Police officials are investigating, but
have learned nothing that will serve TO
clear up the matter. Reingold's friend
with whom he made the bet is also de-
sirous for assistance.

No Trouble from
Big Muddy Looked
For at This Point

Although Kansas City is again bting
troubled by high water. omaha Is en-
urcly free from any danger from the
nver. according TO Forecaster Welsh.
The Missouri now shows ls1 feet at the
gauge the government has set. and Mr.
Welsh announces that this stage is about
normal fer this month. In order TO be.
come dangerous even to the smallest eN-
tent the river must rise seven feet more
and continuous excessive rains for sew
eral days at least would be necessary to
brig the water TO the flood stage of
nineteen feet.
At Sioux City the river showed a raise
of rs feet in the twenty-four hours end
ing at O'Clock Saturday morning. but
this will not noticeably effect the river
hero beCRuse of the lis mile run to
omaha.
MI Welsh tells of the flood of 1881,
when the river reached the 23.S foot
stage. the highest recorded by the Omaha
station. when It was possible to go from
North Seventeenth street to Council
Bluffs by boat The only known time
when the water was higher was In 1874.
when the river left debris high in the
trees far from shore. The stage OF the
river at that time was not recorded, be-
cause Of the fact that there was no sta
ton at Omaha then. hut the old station
at Fort Ieavonworth still has mark
showing the height Of the unprecedented
flood.
