"FlashGght" Burglar
Strikes Bluffs Woman;
Obtains Ten Dollars

A ''hashlight" burglar invaded two
homes in the same block in Council
Bluffs after 2 o'clock yesterday
morning and struck one woman
violent blow on the head with a
bludgeon when she was aroused
from sleep by the presence of the
intruder in the house.
Mrs. Ella Judd, whose husband is
a contractor and away from home,
was awakened by an intruder, and
when she arose quickly to investi-
gate was confronted by a man, who
turned fashlight upon her and
then struck her a heavy blow over
the head with a revolver. Her
nephew, Edwin Mccoy of Okla
homa City, was visiting her, and her
screams aroused him, and he saw
the man flee through the kitchen
door, which had been propped wide
open. Investigation showed that the
thief had secured $40 which Mrs.
Judd had laid aside.
The thief went directly into the
neighboring house and aroused Mrs.
Charles VIM, 216 Sixteenth ave
nue., when he used a Aashlight.
She called her husband and the man
fed, bnt not until he had found 20
cents.
The women could give only mea-
ger descriptions of the burglar, who
was a tall white man, unmasked.

GROTESQUE DAYS
 IN BUDAPEST
Countess Scrubs Floors and Costly Palaces Are Over
 run by Bella Runs Men
ey Assoeiattd Press

Vienna, May 12-Conditons in Budapest and the surrounding country under the fantastic government of Bella Kun and his soviet are grotesque. It has just be- come known the Countess Rada is scrub ping stairways in one of the city prisons. Count Julius Szechenyi, aged 90. formerly master of the Kings horse, is one of those who has incurred the displeasure of the ruling forces. In spite of his age, he has been forcibly removed from his home and imprisoned. What disposition will be made of him is not likely to reach the public until it has been ordered and executed.
 Every room in the handsome marble palace of Count Louis Karolyi, the for mer Austrian ambassador to London, is occupied by some one of the vaunted proletariat, with such results as might be expected. Stove pipes stick from the lace-curtained windows and the silk-cov- cred walls are smoky. grimy and greasy. Protective covers have been torn from rich divans and handsome chairs to be used for dishrags. Costly bronzes, clipped and mutilated, are being used as play things by the proletarian children
 It is the same in the handsome resi- dences of Count Andrassy next door, where squalor and dirt are rapidly re- placing the magnificance and polish of
 
 Day by day comes the news of increas- ing violence on the part of those who are in power. The latest instances have to do with Ludwig Navvy, former pres ident of the Hungarian Parliament. He was seized at his country home and while being taken into Budapest was taken from the train and shot to death by the Red Guard, who gave as an excuse that he was trying to escape.
 Altogether the situation in Budapest is rapidly approaching the point where there will be the customary appeal to the great big-hearted America" to feed and clothe the people. Security of life and property is growing less with every week and the once magnificent city is rapidly taking on an appearance to which it's people have hitherto been strangers.
 Neglect of agriculture is one of the outstanding features of the situation. It is estimated that 5C per cent of the till able soil has not been plowed; partly due to the dsorganization and demoral- ization occasioned by an order of the soviet which forced land owners to raise the wages of farm laborers from crowns to 30 crowns per day, and also to give them butter and milk without any charge and to see that they were properly clothed.
 The appeal to the United States for help is expected to come chiefly from the peo- p1e who have done nothing to work what few fields are now under cultivation and who never had any clothes or felt the need of them.
