LIBRARY BUYS TEN
THOUSAND BOOKS
Number of Registered Borrow
ers During Year Is Twenty
Four Thousand.
ASK LARGER ALLOWANCE

Almost 10000 more books were pur-
chased for the Omaha Public library
in 1915 than in 1915, according to sta %
t',tics prepared by Miss Edith To
bit, librarian. The number added IN
1918 was 1888.
This record was made possible be-
cause OF the new budget allowance,
which went into effect in 1916. The
library board, however, expects to
ask for larger allowance this year,
as the sum available in 1915 was very
inadequate to meet the varying de
mands made upon it
The total number OF registered Dor
rOwcrs is 24.430 a decrease Of about
5000, but this number does not in
clude the children who borrow book,
at the outlying schools where they
are not required to have library cards.
Besides the South Side branch and
the one maintained at Central High
school, number of additional depos-
1t stations are placed at desirable
points.
1t is the plan OF the library board
to add to the number OF deposit sta
tons as soon as more funds are avail
able Miss Tobitt's figures follow.

Small Boy Bitten By Canine and
Owner Fined Five Dollars
By Police Court

~
A small boy appeared in the Police
Court last Saturday as the COM
plainant against man who had al
lowed an unmuzzled dog to run at
large. The dog had bitten the boy.
In the investigation of the case it
was shown that the boy had leased
the animal, but the fact remained
that had the dog been muzzled no
injury would have resulted. The
owner was told that he must con-
form to the law. This morning an
other boy appeared and complain
ed that he, too, had been bitten by
the same canine. The dog, it seem
ed, was not the property of the man
who was cited to appear Saturday,
and another resident was the defend
ant this morning. Upon being asked
by the court if the dog was muzzled,
the owner stated that the animal was
wearing the regulation muzzle"--
that is, it was supposed, strap
around it's head. Justice Cation rul
ed that dog, according to the law,
must be effectually muzzled, and II
this law. was followed the dog could
not bite, which is the object Of the
law. The accused was fined S..
In this connection it may be stat
cd that muzzled dog is a curiosity
in this city, although the City CouH-
Gil few years ago, during mad
dog scare, passed law requiring all
cnimals of the canine species which
are allowed to run at large to be
properly rendered harmless. No re
gulaticn muzzle" in the nature Of
a. strap is prescribed in the or'lir
ance. It's intent is to provide for
she effectual muzzling of all such
animals.

MOTHER SEARCHES TWENTY YEARS
FOR SON ONLY To SEE HIM DIE

from this city life had become extinct.
The mother and daughter whose
names and addresses are withheld for
obvious reasons. left yesterday after
noon for their home. and the remains
Will be shipped them today.
The story connected with the sad
affair is one that abounds in disap-
pointment and sadness. When the lad
was but a few years of age his father
died. leaving the widow in destitute
circumstances. Neighbors agreed. TO
keep the little fellow until the family
could get in a position To take care of
him. but shortly after the child had
come into their possession the family
moved away and for twenty years the
family from which the young mSy
took his name was not heard of by the
mother and sister.
As the family OF children grew the
search for the boy continued. Finally
one of the Amons boys. Benton's foster
brother. was heard of. and in this way
the mother located her son, although
she met with several disappointments
following this. The Amons boy. who
knew of her sons whereabouts. died
before telling the mother where ler
son was, but the search was not given
up. and finally led to her finding ilim
behind the gray walls of the Mounds
Vile penitentiary. where he had been
sentenced TO serve five years.

tho way. IL n thsnklcss task with plen-
~ of work sometimes. and no pay.
Chief Butler set forth in his state
ment that the chief IN held response bl q
for the conduct and work OF the depart
mcnt at n fire: he is supposed to see
that the apparatus, such as IL If. Is
taken to the blaze quickly. After the
fire. IL Ia usually left on the scene. and
the chief must take IL back to the town

to the fact that in the past he has had

apparatus. and do other incidental
duties. sometimes working two and three
days putting everything in shape TO
