Sleuth Arrested
By Cop Whom Dogs
Chase from Saloon

If it hadn't been for two vigilant
bulldogs in the saloon of Louis
Peterson. Twenty-frst and Cunning
streets, w. S. Adams, ol7 North
Twenty-6rst street, who says he is
a Lang National Detective agency
operative, would not now be accused
of burglary.
Patrolman Olaf Knutson found the
back door of the saloon open early
Thursday and went inside to notify
headquarters. When he entered the
door the two dogs sprang upon him
and Knutson hot-footed from the
place. He got outside just in time
to see Adams and another man creep
from a nearby doorway and attempt
to sneak away.
Knutson started for them, but they
ran. Three or four bullets sped in
their direction lent wings to one of
the fugitives, but Adams decided to
stop. -..-
Later police officers found guam
tity of liquors which had been taken
from the saloon and cached nearby,
close to where the two men had
hidden.
Adams says he was in the neigh
borhood making an investigation, but
declined to divulge its nature to the

these lots, none of which will be for
sale, but instead will be leased for
long terms, if desired, comfortable
modern homes for workmen will be
erected.
As occasion demands other indus
trial centers will be built up along
the new belt line, the general plan
following that maintained at Dodge.
General Manager Walters of the
Northwestern, commenting upon the
action of his company, said that the
new belt line of railroad is not being
built for today, but in anticipation
OF the industrial and business growth
of the future. And of this future
growth the company has so much
confidence that it is perfectly willing
to invest its money.
The matter OF the construction and
operation of the new belt line, to be
built and operated by the Northwest
ern, has been called officially to the
Omaha Commercial club. The club
is in possession of the plats showing
the entire line, its industrial centers
and the industrial tracks as proposed
at Dodge, the first of the stations to
be located. Club members have ap-
proved of the plan and have given
assurance of hearty co-operati~.i.

Many months ago large ,pur-
chases were made by US for this
big special Kitchen Furniture Sale
and on account of the immensely
of these purchases we received
extra concessions and heavy dis
counts. Under the present market
condition these concessions and
discounts would be out of the
question, and if it were not for the
fact that we placed these orders
so far in advance and took ad-
vantage of these extra induce
ments, it would be impossible for
us to offer the extraordinary val
ues that will be offered in this big

Decision Endangers Faith
RULING OF ENGLISH COURT IN
CASE WHERE LEGACY DEPEND
ED ON HEIRS GIVING UP THEIR
RELIGION.


An important case has been de-
cided in the courts in London, Eng
land, which may act as dan
gerous precedent for bigots. A Miss
May left $4,000 each to two Catholic
nephews, children of four and nine
years, on the condition that at her
death they are not Catholics Or
would cease to be Catholics within a
year thereafter There was also pro-
vision that the money was to accumu-
late during their minority and was
not to be paid until each was twenty
four years of age. In the event of
the religious condition not being COM
piled with, the money was to- go to
Oxford University.
The action was brought to see
whether, as. the children were being
brought up by their father as Cath
olics and he had refused the legacy
on their behalf, the money should
be paid to the university authorities
at once, or whether it was to &C
cumulate till the boys reached twenty
four years The Judge made the
amazing decision that as the pro-
vision ais to age implied desire
