Is there anyone in Omaha who

hammered, healthy, l2-year-old Amer
lean boy--a boy whom Judge Leslie
of the juvenile court has taken such
a liking to that he says he would
take him into his own if he didn't

Alvin Bushnell is the lads name.
His mother is dead and his father is
we'll, his father is in a distant part
of the country and has relinquished
all rights to his son.
Judge Leslie had planned to send
Young Bushnell to Lincoln and have

BRYAN STILL FIGHTING
BY A. R. GROH.

1t is interesting to look back on
presidential elections of other years
and observe the changes. Take the
election of twenty years ago, for in
stance.
(Of course, this will hardly be re-
membered by the ladies. They were
nearly all small children then, or per-
haps not yet born.)
1t seems to me that the campaign
was lots more fun" then than it is
now, though that may be because

eyes.
You don't see any 'torchlight pro-
cessions" and "flambeau clubs now

Where They Were Then.
In the year 1896 Charles Evans
Hughes was a practicing lawyer in
New York; Woodrow Wilson was a
professor of jurisprudence at Prince

welt was president of the New York
City police board; Charles w. Fair

president of the United States) was
even more obscure than he is now

Band for Shoplifting,
TWO OTHERS STILL FREE

The activities OF an organized band
OF shoplifters, who in the last week
have stolen goods valued at more
than $500 from the Brandeis, Burgess
Nash and Hayden stores, have been
halted by the efforts of Detective Paul
Sutton, whose work has led to the
arrest and conviction of Mr.. and Mrs.
lack" McQuirk, 1920 Dodge street,
and Russell Wagner of the same ad-
dress. Two others, a man and a
woman whose identity the police have
not yet ascertained, escaped.
1t has been the practice OF the
missing woman and Mrs. McQuirk to
visit the principal stores Of the city
and through Sits cut in, the sides OF
long, loosetfitting cloaks, steal the
articles that struck their fancy. Sat-
urday night Sutton, who had been
working on the case for several days,
located the outfit at 1870 Dodge
street.

McQuirk is the proprietor of the
establishment. Sutton phoned head
quarters and Chief of Detectives Ma
loney, Detectives Rich and Pszan-
owski, together. with Officer Larry
Finn of the Brandeis stores and Of
ficer o. Tagal of the Burgess-Nash
stores responded. They surrounded
the house and in this manner were
able to get three offenders and a
! large quantity OF the stolen property.
The man and woman who escaped
did so by a clever ruse. Evidently
the culprits, were aware of the Of
fcers' presence outside, for the two
who got away were locked by the
others in a room, the door of which
fastened with a paddock on the out
side. The police passed by this room
and when they left the pair forced
the barrier and escaped.
