"OH GIRL". GIRLS
TAKE PARK OUTING
Take Possession of'Lakeview
Park and Have Round of
Fun for One Jelly
Evening.
The "Oh, Girl" company, fifty
strong, straight from Broadwaj-, cap.
tured Lakeview park Friday evening
Some lively bunch of jolly, nifty girls
and men they were. They were the
guests of Manager Johnson of the
uaycty at.d jiuncnoit Brothers, own
ers of the park, and these generous
hosts rrcvided everything along the
n.n man i uun llllinuc
Just why the citv editor sent out
the most sedate reporter on the staff
to write up this picnic of theatrical
people may never be known. The
most sedate reporter went over to
the Gayefy where Manager Johnson
pinned a badge on him that said
"Outing, Oh, GirP Company, Lake
view I ark." He pointed out some of
the celehnties of the company which
opens the Gayety season this after
noon. '
Looks Like Actor.
The most sedate reporter began to
feel glad he had this assignment.
Mere private citi;.ens on the street
looked at his badge and thought he
was an actor. The reporter found it
pleasant to be gased upon. Everybody
was laughing and the girls Manager
Johnson pointed out were pleasing to
the eye There was the dark-eved
Jeannette Mohr, the soubr.-tte. She
wore an ermine cane and laree pen-
dant earrings and many rings on her
fingers.
Then there was Frances Tait Bots
ford, the prima donna, who reaches
high C without an effort. Which is
Miss Botsford? you" ask. She's the
tall v oman in the big green hat and
black dress. And listen, you high
brows who, maybe, turn up your nose
at burlesque queens Miss Botsford is
a graduate of Smith college. The re
porter asked her. She mentioned,
also, the name of a prominent Omaha
society woman. "We were in Smith
together and later we studied music
together," she said. Miss Botsford's
uncle is Vice Admiral Tait of the Brltr
ish navy and her other uncle is Ad
mir ..' Bruillet of the French i.avy.
Three of her brothers are officers
in the British army. This is not
"press stuff" but plain fact. -
, Miss Duraont of Boston.
And let us not forget daintv Miss
Dumoi-t, petite and brunet'.e and from
Boston. She talks as correctly as
though she came from Beacon street
and she says she s so glad to see that
the wicked liquor traffic has been
stamped out in Nebraska.
In fact, in all the evening the be
havior of the burlesque people was
sucn mat even tue most sedate re
porter approved. , They all were
loaded on a special street car at the
Gayety, car decorated with big
Danners with "Uh, birr on them.
And they blew horns tnd made a tour
of the downtown streets. And when
they reached the park they captured
the roller-coajt..-, the old mill, the
merry-go-round and finally the danc
ing floor. And, Oh, Gir' how you
can dance! Did the most sedate re
porter dance? Gosh durn it, you bet
he did. Miss Dumont taueht him
the two-step and later they had Ice
cream 6odas together, b'gosh. And
right after the intermission the whole
chorus gathered and sang several of
the company's song hits with treat
approval from the crowd.
Some of the members of the com
pany then went over and roller
skated. About 10:30 luncheon was
announced and it . was eaten amid
much repartee and cheering. And P.
S. Clark, owner of the show, came up
and askec the most sedate reporter
what he thought of the comp-ny.
"Ain't it ; company to be proud of?"
And the most sedate reporter agreed
with P. S. Clark. Mr. Clark's 19-year-old
daughter and 21-year-old son and
wife are with the company.
Joe Mobley Shot, Probably
Fatally, by Companion
Joe Mobley, a painter, age 61, 1411
Chicago street, was shot and perhaps
fatally wounded by Jesse Howard,
424 North Seventeenth street, at 6:30
last evening near the Creighton gar
age, Seventeenth and Davenport
streets. The direct cause of the shoot
ing is a mystery.
Mobley was shot through the right
side, at close range, the fire having
burned through his clothes and skin.
He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital
where Doctors Duncan and Mullen
operated on his wound, but failed to
find the. bullet.
Howard, who was arrested by Of
ficer Murphy, stated the shooting was
accidental.
On the way to" the hospital Mobley
maintained that Howard fired the
shot intentionally, but refused to tell
what had occurred between them im
mediately previous to the shooting.
Mobley talked incoherently at times,
stating that Howard called at his
room at two o'clock yesterday after
noon in an automobile and both went
riding. They visited several road
houses and had been drinking. At
one roadhouse, Mobley overheard
Howard threatening to "get" -him,
which made him grow suspicious.
Shortly after 6 o'clock, they both
returned to the Creighton garage.
Mobley said that "as they were
getting out of the automobile. How
ard started to grapple with him, and
in the fray pressed a gun against his
side and fired.
The only witness to the shooting
was' Boyd Galcr, colored, an em
ployee of the garage, who was up
stairs above the the garage when he
heard the shot fired below and1 look
ing out the window, saw the two men
scuffling. He immediately called the
police.
Mobley has two children living in
Baltimore, ages nine and twelve, and
and an aged mother in Washington,
D. C. His wife died eight years ago.
Many Books Being Donated
For Use of the Soldiers
The movement started by ,the
American Library association to ob
tain books from people willing to do
nate them for the use of soldiers at
the camps is meetirfg with success.
Miss Tobitt'of theOmaha Public

start. However, now that the people
of. Omaha are interested she expects
books to come in more rapidly. Good
books on all subjects re acceptable
and as soon as received will be for
