WOUNDED MAN 4
BELIEVED SHOT
ASA "PROWLER''
axicab Driver Knocking at
Door In Early Morning Is
Greeted With Gun Vollev.

Thomas Lenhah, Thirty-seventh
and l. streets, South Side, was
taken from Central police station
to Lord Lister hospital at II yester-
Gay morning, five hours after he had
been shot in the right groin by an
unidentified assailant somewhere in
North Omaha.
Ben Civin, 273O Charles street,
was arrested at 6:15 yesterday morn
ing after Lenhah called police, and is
being held under bond for shoot
ing with intent to wound the man.
Lenhsh cannot identity Civin as
his assailant, and Civin declares that
he only shot at ''house prowler''
five times at about 4 in the morn
ing, and thought the shots went
wild
Civin told police the prowler was
tall man wearing light overcoat,
and that he shot only when the man
refused to get off the front porch of
his home.
Lenhah tells different story. He
says he drove an acquaintance
known as "Cy" to North Omaha late
Tuesday night, following dance at
Twenty-fourth and ] streets, South
Side. The acquaintance left Lenhah,
the latter says, telling him he would
return in half an hour. The injured
man said that when his acquaintance
failed to return he knocked at the
door Of a house that he thought
l"Cy" had entered. It was when he
was leaving the house, he said, that
his knock was answered by volley
OF shots from an upstairs window.

ment.
Otto left the family last March

contributed to their support since
then. Tuesday he was going
through Omaha and-stopped off and
called up his home, asking to, see
his oldest SON. The boy met him
an hour later and broughta police
man with him. Otto was soon in
Jail.
"My wife ordered me to get out
of the house last March. That is
why | left" he testified. II am
able and willing to contribute to the
support of my children"
That's all we ask" exclaimed
Deputy County Attorney Kubat. "If
he's ready to do that and to put up
bond to do it, we'll stop prosecu-
ton on this charge"
~ Mr.. Mickish said he would get
the bond and contribute regularly
to adequate support of the children.
Mrs. Mickish filed suit for a di-
vorce yesterday when her husband
appeared here. He has been living

of them there summer folks with

evident accomplishment was driv-
ing racing car, and he appeared to
be anxious to display it upon all oc-
casions. 1t had been ridiculously
easy for the other man to enlist his
aid in anything that appeared like
a race. But, his chase ended, he ,ap-
parcntly lost all interest in every
thing else, and as soon as his pass
enger had alighted he started down
the road at furious gait, and in
another instant was lost to our
view.
That this was a move totally un-
expected and disconcerting to Mr..
Bridgeham or Hambridge was evil
dcnced by his quick change from
an air of triumph over quarry run
to earth, to something very nearly
resembling panic.

awakening from comfortable

MAYOR BOOSTS
ARMY LIFE IN 4
PROCLAMATION
Calls On Young Men Of Omaha
to Carefully Study Courses
Offered to Learn
Trades.

For the purpose of stimulating in
tcrcst in the nationwide campaign
now being waged to obtain addi-
tional recruits for the United States
army, Mayor Smith yesterday is
sued an official proclamation call
ing the attention of the young men
of Omaha and Nebraska to the
many advantages and opportunities
the army affords for Improvement
of their capacity for good citizen
ship and proficiency in the various
trades and professions they elect to
follow upon enlistment.
The chief executives Of the prin.
cipal cities of the country daily are
lending their endorsement in a
similar manner to the intensive
campaign now being conducted to
secure recruits to fill up the ranks
in the various army units.
Mayer Smiths proclamation fol-
lows.
THE War department of the
United States government is now
desirous of securing recruits to fill
up the ranks of existing units in
the United States army.
II doubt if the policy of the War
department, as it is now being pur-
sued, is understood by most of our
young men. | am advised that those
enlisting in military service can now
select the branch Of Service they
prefer to be connected with; can in
dicate the studies they desire to pur-
Sue, or the trade or character Of
work they desire to become more
proficient in; and these educational
facilities are being afforded to a
much greater extent than ever be-
fore. Young men are thus afforded
the opportunity to improve their
capacity for good citizenship and
proficiency in various trades while
in the ARMY.
II respectfully call the attention
of the young men of this city to the
educational opportunities afforded
by service in the army at this time,
and believe that young men not yet
committed to any profession or
trade may very profltably secure
this educational training while un-
dergoing military training and study
in the army. -

THE, "FLI' GERM.

Attempts to isolate and study the germ which causes the Spanish intlu- enzA have met with little real success according 10 Dr. Royal x. Copeland. Health Commissioner or New York, who has issued a statement on the epidemic WhiCh. it Is thought, is rap idly on the decline. The laboratories for research are still in mystery, the coyness of the bug makes it success ful in evaGine the most diligent search for specimens and for habits
 The New York physician has also made public a finding to the effect that he was mistaken in an earlier assumption that those who had once had the disease were immune for year or so. Doctors held the theory that those who suffered last year would not do so this. This has been available in the recent epidemic. The Health missioner is now of the opinion that there will be q recur- renee of the epidemic next year but that the disease will be still milder in form than it now is.
 In all proba bilities there will be much endcavor on the part of public health officials and private individuals interested to make it more certain how the germ of in fluenza lives and carries it's disease to the humans about it. If it may be isolated and studied and a certain means of com batting it found humanity will owe much to the medical profession whose benefits to mankind are already man. fold. The recurrence of the epidemic may~not be certain. but the possibility of another one a year later is some thing to be guarded against.
