AMONG LANDLORDS OF
OMAHA ARE DISCOVERED
Bundle Bee Conducts Investigation
and Promptly Starts Relief
Fund.
COMMITTEE IN TEARS!
Some Landlords Have Only Two
Automobiles! Read the Dread
full Details.

The Bundle Bee, reused to action
by pitiful stories of suffering among
landlords, especially those of apart
ment houses in Omaha, has decided
to take action.
A fund will be started today to
assist the most needy of the land
lords and their families.
Contributions will be gladly re-
ceived.
The most crying needs of the
landlords are automobiles of the
more expensive kinds, steam yachts,
diamonds (not smaller than three
karats)y well-improved farms and
similar necessities.
Readers of The Bundle Bee hav-
ing cars costing not less than $4,000
and practically new, or similar ar
ticles which they are willing to con-
tribute to this worthy cause, should
notify the Fund for Landlords ed
itor,s care of The Bundle Bee.
Some of the cases investigated
were pitiful. The investigators
hearts were krung and number of
them tainted and had to be removed
to their homes.

Bertillon Picture of Seven Years Ago Shows Smooth
Unlined Features Of Neophyte- Years Bring
the Hard-Lined Features and Steely Eyes of the
Practical Criminal.

From the annals of the Bertillon
Office at the central police station
comes the record of one Arthur
Nelson, claiming the United States
at large as his home. A week ago,
young Nelson was arrested for the
theft of an automobile belonging to
Edward Deamond, sol Seward
street. He was bound over to dis
trict court under heavy bond and is
now awaiting trial for the offense.
1t was not until the unchanage-
able lines of his finger tips were
imprinted on filing card by means
of the Bertillon system that the
police learned he had been through
the mill" precisely seven years. ago.
- From Dusty Files.
From dusty files, Nelson's old
record was investigated. His photo
graph was combed from the thou
sands that comprise the rogue's
gallery.
Seven years ago, Nelson then a
mere youth, began three-year term
in the penitentiary for highway rob-
berry and burglary according to the
record.
His latest arrest brought oppor-
tunity for a comparison of both
stages in the young mans life.
The photograph, taken at the time
he was arrested for bis first crimes,
show the facial expression of a
neophyte, an amateur, ignorant of
what crime really is, with soft eyes
as yet untouched with the hard lines

Teeth Extraction
Endurance Record
Claimed by Officer

Capt Andrew Pattullo of the po-
lice department Believes that he
holds the endurance record in the
matter Of teeth extraction, Recently
he decided to have his teeth at
tended. Friends advised him to take
gas or some other form of painless
application. But he waved aside all
friendly suggestions.
He asked the boss for few hours
off one day and sauntered down to
the Office of dentist, where he told
the man with the wrench to go to
work.
At one sitting he had 81 teeth ex-
.racted and did not take gas, novo-
caine, or anything else
"Oh, yes | felt it, but | was not
going to take gas" he said. 1T is
needless expense. The dentist had
to yank rather hard to>get one tooth,
but he got it out. Yes, there were q
of them, count 'em."

for pity from the spectator.
Years Bring a Change.
"Ya wouldn't think kid like that

marked detective gazing at the
youths picture.
In contrast to this first imprint of
facial expression, his latest picture
taken last week shows decided
change in his personality.
Though resembling his former pic
ture, this late photograph of Nelson,
the man, sets forth more rugged
countenance. His cheeks are sunken,
chin alert and mouth set at 4 sharp
angle. The 'hard" appearance the
youth acquired during his term be-
hind the walls shows plainly.
Call of His Pals.
In police court following his ar
rest, Nelson stoutly claimed absolute
of serious crime since his
conviction for highway robbery
seven years ago. He intends to fight
the charge of automobile theft.
1T was the call of the old life that
lured me back to crime" Nelson told
detectives. "I've had proper raising,
but the influence Of pals has over
come me-"
Within a few weeks, begging for
one more chance to make good, he
will face jury in district court. 1t
will be the guiding point of his fu-
ture, he says.
