A year later he was given a eaptajncy in the detec tive division and on July 12, 1923, was made inspector, second ranking offi cer of the department. Uited for Riot Work. Both have been cited many times for meritorious conduct in line of duty. Thorpe was cited tpr bravery in 1919 by Mayor Smith for courage under fire. During the courthouse riot he was trapped on the upper floor by flames, through which he plunged to leave the building and ob tain amunltlon for the trapped peace officers. He returned through the gunfire of the moh. Perhaps the most outstanding in stance in Thorpe's career dates back to April 12. 1912, two years after he became a member of the department.

The duties of a patrolman are die inct from those of a detective. While 1’horpe was distinguishing himself through quick Ihinking and action in •mercencips, Pszanowski. also a pa- ! trolman anti later a detective, was keeping pace in other fields "Cientlemsn .lack" Pszanowski patrolcd nne'of Omaha's toughest dis trlcts. in one skirmish with a drink crazed man he prevented John Hamil ton. 1X14 Ohio street, from killing his Infant child. Hamilton had driven his wife from the house and was going after the infant. Just as Pszanowski entered the place the man was mov ing to crush the child’s head between ills htrank-. In the struggle, Pszanow ski rescued tlie infant. Once, Pszanowski., attracted by the whines of a half-frozen dog, found Fred Leopold, Fremont farmer, freez ing in a snowdrift. The patrolman carried ihe man to his own home, where he revived him. F.otli Thorpe and Pszanowski devlat fcd occasionally from their heats while in uniform. Thorpe once captured two swindlers from Denver with $ I .'.‘00 of stolen money on their person. While off duty one night, mingling with downtown sightseers, his atten tion was attracted to two men under the influence of liquor. He observed them for a while, then when confident they were not merely drunk, he ar rcsted them. Investigation and search at (lie police station revealed they were the fugitive swindlers. I'icked l’p Swindlers. Pszanowski, using the detective in stinct while off duty, once noted the peculiar clicking of heels which seemed to pass signals between two men on opposite sides of the street at the postoffice. He railed the patrol wagon, then when it was nearly arrived at the scene, arrested the two men and a third, who proved to he a farmer they were trying to "fleece.” They were later Identified ss men' sought for confidence games.

This is an increase of 44.2 per cent over the total for 1912. And the per capita wealth of the state is $4,004, an increase of 32.4 per cent over 1912. This is why Nebraska's automobile owner ship has increased 21 To in the past two veais— why the student body of the Nebraska Univer sity has doubled in five years—why there rre 7.000 other schools and colleges in the state— why there is an automobile for nearly every family—a telephone for little less than every five persons in the state. Nebraska today is prosperous because it does not depend on one crop or one industry for its permanent prosperity and income. While Nebraska's rich soils have made it one of the chief food producing states in the union, every community in the state is a direct participant in some phase of industry. Thou sands of men and women are employed in Ne braska's many and diverse industries. In Nebraska you will find a fertile and re sponsive market. Fertile because Nebraska has increased its income by millions of dollars in 1924; responsive because Nebraska's popula tion is 98.6r'r literate and 87.1 '"c white.
