Nurses Quarters in
City Hall Robbed in
Mysterious Manner

Mysterious disappearance of a
number of valuable articles from the
Offices of the visiting nurses in the
city hall is battling Miss Florence
McCabe and her staff. Some Of
the articles have been stolen from
the main Offices where some of the
nurses are always present, Other
things have been taken from the
store rooms, which is always locked.
A nurses overcoat, six surgical
aprons, a number of baby "layettes, "
large quantities of linen used in
surgical work have been stolen.
1--WE are entirely at loss to un-
derstand how these things could have
been stolen," said Miss McCa5e
There is only one key to the store
room and that is always kept where
it is safe. There is always some
one in charge of The office from
which the nurses coat disappeared
and we can't see how that was
stolen"
1t is evident from the nature Of
the things stolen what kind of a
person took them. In fact, a clue
has been found and is being fol-
lowed quietly and it is expected that
the guilty person will be caught
soon.

Coach MuIIigan Unwilling to
Enter Central High Team;
to Meet South Omaha
Next Week.

Hopes of staging purely local
tournament of high school basket
ball teamsnext week in place Of the
tri-city meet .ginally planned
were dashed on the rocks last night
when Coach Mulliga, of Central
High stated that he would be un-
willing to enter his flippers.
With the agreement of Creighton
High to enter the tourney in place
of Council Bluffs local fans once
more hoped TO see local tourney
staged at the Creighton gym as
planned. The Creighton warriors,
however, are far below the public
high schools in class and are not
regarded as fit substitutes for the
Iowa team.
Since Central High meets South
Omaha next week and Council
Bluffs the following Friday. both
on the local "Y" floor, tourney in
which these teams would be the
chief contestants is regarded unfav-
orally by the Central coach. Coach
Jim Patton of the Packer five is

The annual handicap shoot Of the

during the latter part Of April this
year. Sunday April q, has been set
for the practice day with $50 targets.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

The dates this year are held 10
be more favorable than the July 4
shoot held last year The difference
in added money will also. prove
beneficial, shooters think Last year
there was $1,000 added money. This
year the added money will be only
$1,000, not enough to attract the ma
'tfonally famed shooters who entered
year ago and will allow the smaller
average man to get in.
Nebraska will have a goodly quo
ia of entries in the Mink shoot with
some of the best Omaha target men
among them, George Brandeis, lat
est member of the Omaha Gun Club,
will be entered as will L. T..
Adams. George Redick, II. S. Nc
Donald, B. w. Barnes, Charles
Reese, A. r. Keeline, r. c. Kings
