TRUNKS WERE FILLED.
WITH THE RED LIQUOR
Baggageman at Omaha Station
"Got Wise" and Flushed
BootIeggers' Game

Two gay looking and gay-talking
young fellows presented trunks at the
union depot to be checked to Sioux
City the other day. They were new
trunks and rather small, and the
Ibaggageman noticed that they were
exceedingly heavy, far too heavy. to
be packed with clothes and other
personal effects. The baggageman
asked the men for their tickets, but
they had not gotten them, and one
of the fellows remarked, How soon
can YOU get your tickets in a coun-
ftry town like this?" This made the
.baggageman sore. The trunks were
checked and the young fellows start
Fed on their way when the train came,
but the baggageman, remembering
the great weight of the trunks, spoke
of the matter. to the police and gave
the numbers of the checks.
The result was that the Iowa au-
thorities were notified of the heavi-
ness of the trunks and the numbers
Eof the checks. The next day,
train baggageman, coming the other
way, told how some detectives board
ed the train at or near LIE Mars, To-
wa, searched out the trunks, opened
them and found them to be filled with
whisky, just as had been suspected.
The detectives watched for the gay
youths to call for their trunks at
Sioux City, but 1t is evident that
they "got wind" of what had happen
ed and they did not show up to
claim either their trunks or the wet
goods inside.

Call In Its Trip Around

tomoblle, running along the mound
road at Sibley park on the side next

chine landed, it would have plunged

the river, forty to fifty feet lower
carrying its occupants to serious in

lodged in the trees. One light was
smashed, the windshield was broken

was rather superficial than otherwise
Beer Bottles Found.
Park Superintendent Staley report
ed this morning that lot of beer
bottles were found scattered about
the place. Blood was found spatter-
ed on the front part of the machine
Mr. Staley was told that the name OF
the man who owned the machine was
w. Schmidt, and others stated that
the owner was a st. Peter man. Mr.
Staley was asked his opinion about
the safety of the road at that point
and he said he considered the road
perfectly safe for any autoist with
his machine and his head in proper
condition.
The license number of the auto is
Minnesota 120197. The state cata-
logue shows this number to belong to

Petrograd, July 19.-Tuesday by an
agreement between soldiers and
worllmen:s deputies and the remain
ing members of the cabinet, the ques
>tion of replacing the retiring minis
tiers as well as all the questions of
policy have been held in allegiance
pending the suppression of the Boil
sheviki element which for thirty six
hours kept the city in a turmoil. The
government evidently considered it
unwise for the city's safety to oppose
turbulent minority with violent
methods until absolutely necessary.
There is little doubt, however, but
that government has enough loyal
support to easily suppress the up
rising.
