Puts Three Locks and
Burglar Alarm on Ford

c. H. Van Eaton. 2s26 Capitol
avenue, has so completely lost faith
n the efficiency Of Omaha's police
department. that he installed three
ocks ON his Ford automobile and

During the last three weeks there
1ave been two automobiles stolen in
our blodk. neither of which has been
recovered said Van Eaton to Police
Captain Vanous last night. Friday
night they tried to steal my car, but
were scared away. Today | got a
lock for the coil box. one for the
steering wheel and one for the rear
wheels. | also have an electric bur-
glar alarm fixed so that when any
one attempts to start the car an
alarm will sound in my bedroom and
III be on hand a minute later to
shoot to kill.
Recently. two shots were fired in
the night in the alley behind my
home None of the neighbors can
account for the mysterious shooting,
although all heard it, My wife
frightened a burglar out of the din
ing room few weeks ago and last
week our next door neighbor chased
another out of his home.
There is no officer on that beat.
The police department told us to
wait until something else like that
happened and then telephone them"
Van Eaton says he has just come
here from, New Yczk with his fam
ilv. I'm the east there is a police
officer on hand when you want one"

Trap Laid for Them
by City Detectives

Omaha detectives last night laid a
trap for the party of men and women

during the early morning hours re-
Gently, but without results.
Four detectives, armed with dou-

calibered revolvers, drove about

car seeking the bandits.
Occasionally the police car would
stop on some boulevard and the four
detectives would proceed to repair"
a tire. Instead of using tire tools,
they drew their revolvers and
crouched at the side of their machine
in hopes that the: bandit would &C
cost them, but no one that even
looked like hold-up caught their
gaze.
