Of Gibson Face Police Judae
While Clyd. and Clowe Grabble
tof "Gibson were endeavoring to ex
plain 'to Judge Fitzgerald in police
court how they had come to imbibe
too freely of "J. Barleycorn" John
Killcullin, arrested on the a like
charge, stood at their elbows, caution
ing them not to "lie like that." He
was warned to be quiet and subsided
with, "Well, half the lies they tell
nowadays are not true anyway. All
were fined..
Both Complaints Against '
George Levey Dismissed
Both complaints against George
Levey, former proprietor of the
United Trading company, were dis
missed by Judge Fitzgerald in police

complaint, that of obtaining money
under false pretenses, the judge ruled
"the evidence showed that Levey ob

ises and not under present facts.
In the second, he said that there had
been no evidence of. personal repre
entatiori by Levey of the existence
of a lottery. . '

ort current among railroad men that

resents. Mr. Bock .adds that he is
satisfied with his present position
and is content to let well enough
alone.

SIX WEEKS MORE .
OF COLD WEATHER
Proverbial Prognosticator of
Climatic Conditions - Sees
His Shadow and Scoot?
Back Into Hole.
Six weeks of cold weather!
The groundhog saw his shadow
af8:45 o'clock this morning, scanned
the horizon and then jumped tack
into his home beneath the cold
v
earth.
The coal dealers chuckled several
chuckles when they heard the
news.
Some people think that the ground
hog has an awful "crust" to come out
and sec his shadow on,porkless day.
Colonel Welsh of the weather de
partment refuses to have anything, to
do with the little animal which ap
pears every year on February 2 and
becomes frightened at his shadow.
If the ground hog is the real
weather prognosticator and its move
ments on this date control hot and
cold, storm and sunshine, Wyoming
and most portions of Nebraska are
in for six weeks more of winter.
Practically everywhere, according to
the morning repot ts to thewailroads,
it was clear an! calm. If the ground
hog came out, it had no difficulty in
seeing its shadow.
While it was clear and calm all
the way through to the Rocky
mountains, : it was slightly cool in
Nebraska, temperatures of aero to
18 above being reported. In Wyo
ming temperatures were 20 to 30
above.
Detectives and Doctors Rush
To Scene of Supposed Murder
Someone sent in a riot call to cen
tral police station late Saturday after
noon when it was reported a murder
had been committed at 2209 Cuming
street.
A score of detectives heaVily armed
and two doctors went to the scene pi
the supposed murder in automobiles.
Frances Brenican, colored woman,
was sitting in a chair when detectives
arrived at the house.-
"Nobody's murdered, boss," ex
plained the negro woman, "but a good
foh nothin' nigger crawled into my
window a few minutes ago and I
yelled bloody murder."
Tse not huh, though, as you all
kin obsoive." '
"H ," muttered the detectives.
