Fifteen of the young men about town enjoyed a sumptuous banquet at the Hotel Rilev last evong.

A quartet of very festive people was taken in by Sheriff Wheeler and Chief Fitzpatrick last evening. They were two very sporty young men and two w.m3n of polka dot character. The sheriff received a. telephone mes sage from the chief of police at South Omaha last evening that two young men were wanted there for roboing a boarding houte, giving a description of the men and saying they would doubtless be in the company of two women. The officers walched the evening trains and at 8:2-5 a quartet got off the B.& M. train answering the description of the parties wanted. The officers captured the party at the court house corner after following them from the depot, and lodged them in jail. Tho men were Fred Johnson and Ed Chornngton and the women Grace Corsey and Eva Waters. At about 11 o'clock last night the women were liberated but the men hold until Chief Brennan arrived here this morning' from South Omaha and took the men to that city to answar to the cba ge of iobb!ng a boarding house.
