NO CLUE TO NEGRO AssAILANr

| Fircmen at engine house No s, tho
headquarters Of the battalion chiefs
and the chief fire department ilumin-
aries Of this part Of Greater Omaha.
are getting TO be experts in the hero
line, at least so many OF their com
rades aver, Not long since one cap
tain attained fame by rescuing a
woman from flames Of second floor
room. 10 and behold, last week, di.
rectly in front OF the fire station, two
run-aways were nippcd in the bud,
and the lives OF many probably saved.
Captain Charles Sutherland and
Fireman Walter Bernhart are the men
Of the hour. To them belong the
laurels. ....
On Memorial day Bernhard threw
himself full at the neck Of raging
steed dashinR along the street at full
speed with an ice cream cart dangling
dangerously in the rear and checked
the steed right before the eyes OF his
teammates. The praise was healthy
At the moment, al least Cap Suther-
land must have thought so Friday
AS the dusk was just beginning 10
melt into darkness loungers at the
station heard cry OF distress fol-
| lowed by a sudden exclamation from
| their captain. The latter rushed 10
| the door with an oath, threw off his
coat and hat and with a grim remark,
"I'll get him or die" threw himself
al the necks Of heavy team coming
up the street at full speed. The attack
came SO sudden that but few OF the
fircmcn Witnessed the battle between
the raging steeds and the fireman.
Finally he was able 10 leap on their
backs and bring them TO a standstill
block or so away, amid the cheers
Of his comrades. Chief Coylc deeked
| the hero with a carnation.
A few minutes later a perspirinR
driver came up the street. He thanked
the captain and went his way, neither
disclosing his identity or showing APP
probation for the good deed rendered
by the man Of fire fighting fame.
Police Lose Trail.
Despite the strenuous efforts OF
Captain Briggs and South Side police
to trace the young negro who robbed
and assaulted Mrs. Stavonek at her
home at Thirty-seeond avenue and 3
street yesterday morning, the culprit
eyaded arrest. Every inch Of the
roads leading out into the northwest
county was covered by the officers in
charge OF the hunt and all that could
be obtained was passing word every
so often that negro had passed
through a short time before the ar
rival Of the police.
Dense shrubbery and railroad bridges
afforded the negro refuge 70 hide
temporarily from the police, II IS
thought, and he finally swung back
into the city again.
In the struggle with Mrs. Slavonek,
the latter bit the negro's fingers and
this will afford a means Of identifi-
cation should the police capture the
man, which they are confident OF do
ing. The negro carried small blue
steel gun at the time OF the assault.
