    3 Lose Homes
in Altercation
Over Pet Dog
Tenants Testify Against Land
lord Who Hit Postman
With Plank; All Must
Move.
Walter Hamilton, 674 South Twen
ty-eighth street, was held to the fed
eral grand jury under % 1,000 bond,
and three of his tenants are in search
of new homes as a result of an alter
cation that arose Thursday ov^ a
small dog.
Buster, the dog, is a pet of Hamil
ton's. Though small In size. Buster
makes up for all shortcomings with
his ability to bark and threaten all
intruders at the Hamilton home, it
was alleged. Thursday C. E. Smith,
a mail carrier, went to the Hamilton
home to deliver a pnrcel post package
to Mrs. Ethel Brash, a tenant.
Carrier Kicks Dog.
Not only did Buster attempt to bar
the entrance of Uncle Sam’s employe,
but he also attempted to bar his exit,
Smith said. When the attentions of
the dog became too cordial Smith
kicked him. Hamilton saw the act,
rushed across the street and struck
Smith with a heavy piece of plank,
it is alleged.
Hamilton was arrested a short
time later by Postoffice Inspector
Coble, charged with assaulting a mail
carrier. Friday he was given a hear
ing before Coble and the district
investigator.
Four witnesses were called by the
prosecution, Mrs. E. S. Woodruff, 710
South Twenty-fourth street; Mrs
Ethel Brash, a tenant of Hamilton's;
B. E. Austin, also a tenant at the
Hamilton home, and Smith.
Denies Charges.
Hamilton denied all charges and
pleaded a disability, resulting from
a blow on the head that made him
irresponsible at times.
As soon as the hearing was over
Mrs. Hamilton approached Mrs
Brash and notified her that she and
her husband "would have to move,
and right away would be none too
soon." Austin was next Informed of
Iris Intending search for a new home.
Buster was not at the trial. He
still has a home.

Chance, Claim
Dark-Eyed Maiden Follows
Married Drug Clerk Here
From Chicago—Refuses
to Give lTp.
i * _
Katherine Weber, 22, darkeyed,
clear of skin and lair to look upon,
sat in jail Friday morning and wept
because she never had a chance.
From the time her father died,
whin she was 15, and left her to her
resources In Chicago, she longed for
friendship, for a home, for a man
whose heart she might completely
fill, in the place of the smirking crea
tures who looked at her with calculat
ing glances as she passed them on the
street.
After her father's death left her
an orphan—her mother died when
she was 12—she obtained work In a
department store. But she realized
that her beauty was her chief asset,
the thing upon which she must de
pend for the fulfillment of her desires.
Advancing costs made the struggle
for existence harder and harder.
Bright entrances of cabarets, warm
limousines and fur coats, which
seemed to fall to the lot of other girls
like manna from heaven exerted an
Irresistible lure on the girl, who went
home to her hall bedroom to fry an
egg over the gas jet.
Habitue of Cabaret*.
She quit her job and became an
habitue of the cabarets. Men were
always ready to buy things for a
pretty girl.
Then she met Howard Cook, a
stalwart soda Jerker in a Chicago loop
drug store, and fell in love with
him. Cook was married, but he fell
in love with her, too, she said.
She left the cabarets and went
back to her Job In the department
store. Howard was like a brother
to her, she sold. He had ambitions
and wanted to rise In the world. He
told her that ■ some day maybe he
would divorce hi* wife and marry
her.
Caine to Omaha.
Then lie left Chicago and came
to Omaha with hi* wife. In Omaha
his wife left him. Howard tele
phoned to Katherine, and she came
to Omaha to Join him. She couldn’t
find him. She lived in a rooming
house until her money was nearly all
gone. Then she met him one day
by chance on the street. They
planned to go to Texas.
Now both are in Jail. Cook was
arrested yesterday at the Hunter Inn.
suspected of being a confidence man,
and Katherine, who was with him,
was taken along for investigation.
Under pressure Cook expressed to
Chief of Detectives Van Deusen this
morning a desire to return to his
wife, whom he described as "a good
woman."
Katherine Is desolate.
Won’t Give l’p.
"I love him,’’ she sobbed. “II go
through anything for him. He's the
only man I ever met who treated me
like a human being, or cared whether
I lived or died. He can’t leave me.
He can'tP'
Detectives Thursday suspected that
Katherine might be the woman who
Is said to have been used to lure
Omaha gamblers to various apart
ment houses, where they have been
robbed of large sums of money. She
was Indignant In her dental. She
said that Howard never would have
asked her to do anything of the
sort.
Cook was arrested Thursday with
E H. Larson after Frank Clements
of Horlzan, Can . recognized Larson
as one of two men who robbed him
of $85 near the Union Station.
Harry Fielder and R. B. Davis
also were arrested at Hunter Inn for
Investigation In connection with the
case. Fielder, in hls cell Friday morn
ing, pleaded for "dope.”
