Sno.U Bird Picked Up
By the Kato Police
Dope Outfit Found In the Bed
In His Foom; Is Jailed
For Night

An alleged Snow bird" who had
tried to gain entrance to some rooms
over the Thro drug store and later is
alleged to have tried to enter the of.
fees of DR.. A. G. Liedloff on South
Front street with the aid of a pass
key, was taken in custody last night
at 1910 o'clock by City Detective AL
bert Volk. When the man was taken
to the police station and searched all
of the equipment used by drug adicts
was found on his person. These con-
sisted of a hypodermic syringe, a
spoon with the handle bent in such
a fashion that it would not easily slip
small tablets, which are evidently
some form of dope. In addition to the
drug slave outfit, skeleton key was
found In the mans possession. 1t is
understood tnat 1t was with the latter
that he was trying to get into the DIR.
Liedloff offices.
In a statement to The Free Press
this morning, the man gave his name
as V. e. GiVens. Fss said that he had
been in the employ Of the Iowa Tele-
phone company for three years as a
cable splicer. Just recently he said
that men were laid off, and he had
been out of work for week or two.
He profeSSed to be at a loss to know
why he was taken into custody, for
he said that he was merely going to
enquire about some rooms, and thinks
that he got in the wrong.
Looking at his bed in one of the
cells at the police station, where he
had to bunk all night, Givens yawned
and said: This is sure a hard bed
to put in the night on, after fellow
paid for a good bed
1t was discovered this morning by
DR.. w. A. Beach and DR.. Paul Barney,
who have Offices adjoining in the f.
w. Kruse building, that someone had
gained entrance to the offices perhaps
with The aid of a skeleton, key and
ransacked the contests of tables and
drawers. Several peculiarly shaped
matches partly burned on the floCr in
front of the safe in DR.. Beach's office
would indicate that an attempt was
made to work the combination of the
strong box.
Some of these same matches were
found In possession of r. Y. Givens,
the dop addict now being held by the
police. The man when taken into
custody had two gold watches in his
possess ion. One is an Elgin movement
and the other a Knickerbocker watch.
Among the mans personal effects was
also found a Kiwanis button. He told
the police that he was not member
of the latter organization

tions to enforce it without delay
Dozens of punch boards will be re-
moved as a result of the order, from
a large number of cigar stores, soft
drink parlors, restaurants, pool
rooms, and the like
This step in law enforcement, it is
limited, may be a forerunner of the
cleanup against gambling and gamb
ling devices in the city, which may
come as the result of the grand jury
Investigations. The speculation as
to the prohibition Of forms of gamb-
ling has been rife for some time and
may be expected to come at any time
it is said.
