HAVE A CLUE
Several of the flower growers of
the city a few days ago suffered from
the depredations of vandals who cut
off flowers and damaged many very
fine plants in a wanton manner.
Among these was William Baird and
it is thought that the discovery of
the parties committing the crime is
not far away. At the Baird home a
large number of oriental poppies were
taken and Thursday a clue was dis
covered that may lead to the ulti
mate running down of the culprit.
Mr. Baird has placed the clue and
such information as possible in the
hands of the authorities and it is pos
sible some startling developments
may be uncovered in the next few
days.

WIRE CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Friday night shortly after 9
o'clock a large limb from a tree near
the Fred Kunsmann property on
Washington avenue, broke off and
carried down an electric light wire
Heading into the house that is occu
pied by Theodore Yelick.
The wire, torn loose from the house
by the limb, hung over the avenue
and for some time proved quite a
menace to travel until the linemen
of the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power
Co., could reach the scene and cut
off the current.
One car that failed to heed
signals of watchmen to avoid
wire, ran into it and caused a
the

fine
electrical display from the short cre
ated by the body of the car, but the
driver was uninjured.
Truck Pickets
are Removed
m
Sarpy County
Conferences in Omaha With Operators
and Union Officials on Mat
ter of Closed Shop.
The truck tieup situation seems re
lieved today as the picketing of the
highways in Sarpy county and par
ticularly along highway No. 75 was
eliminated Wednesday afternoon fol
lowing a visit of Sheriff Mondell to
the various places where pickets had
been stationed.
The Sarpy county sheriff warned
against the blockading of the high
ways and the holding up of traffic
and his requests so far have been re
spected by the representatives of the
striking truckers and their organ
ization. Bread trucks were coming through
today over highway No. 7f ar.d re
port no interference and other trucks
carrying merchandise' for the retail
stores outside of Omaha were pro
ceeding through altho the service is
lighter than usual.
Manv of the stores are receivm
their sunnlies bv exr.ress and freight
since the start of the tie up in Omaha
and have suffered but little incon
venience from the attempts to check
shipments.
In Omaha conferences are being
held to obtain settlements between
the truck line operators and the rep
resentatives of the truckers union,
the chief issue seemingly to be that
of the matter of the closed shop rule
as to truckers and the employment
of onlv the members of the union.
