A iay I'arty Captured.
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. There was no charge against
the women, hence they were not held.
