By EDWARD BLACK. Jerry Linahan, 69, next Wednes day, and the second oldest living na tive OmahaYi, stated last week that he was "thoroughly frightened” only nnce in his life and that was 60 years ago. He lived at the time at the south east corner of Twelfth and Jones streets, where he was born in 1856. The first Linahan home was a log building which was replaced by a frame structure, moved In sections from Florence when the Mormons con tinued their westward journey. ”To give you an idea of Omaha 60 years ago,” said Linahan. "I may state the boys with whom I associ ated considered William street on the south the dead line between Indians camped where Riverview park is now located, and the residential section In which I lived. At that time there was an unwritten law that to venture be yond William street, unprotected, was at your peril. "On a certain day, however, several of my venturesome companions pro posed that we explore the hinterland of Omaha ns far as Thirteenth and Vinton streets. I agreed to go, al though I had some misgivings, hut did not want to be classed as a coward. "Six of us made the journey on foot. We went through a patcli of weeds part of the way and I Imagined I could see an Indian behind every tree. I trembled from fear all the way, but managed to conceal my feelings. I wondered whether I would 'ever get home again to the folks and I lmag Ined I could see father and mother at the evening meal, gazing longingly at an empty chair and wondering when their absent son would return. Well, we 4id not see an Indian during the outing, but I will say I was scared stiff. Will never forget it." Linahan stated that Omaha had no street lights at that period of Its early history and that it was the rule for boys to scamper home at night fall. I.lnahan's parents settled in Omaha in 1855, arriving here by steamboat from Indianapolis. The first school he attended was held in old Territor ial building at Ninth and Farnam streets, l.innhun now lives »at 4320 Fort street. PLAN TO STOCK DEER ENDORSED Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 24.—F. E.

Senators Will Demand Entires’ Account Books Sheriff Must Show Records W lien He Appears Before Judiciary Committee for Feed Bill Hearing. Lincoln, Jan. 22.—If Sheriff Kndres of Omaha appears In person before either the house or senate Judiciary committee in an attempt to kill the bill aimed at his alleged exorbitant profit* in feeding *tate and federal prisoner*, he will he asked point blank to present his books on cost of feeding. This, in substance, is a statement made belay by Senator Oharles Hoye of Omaha. Introducer of the sheriff's feeding Hill in tlie senate. According to Hoye, Kndres make* from $20,000 to $25,000 net. annually, from feeding of prisoners and mileage fees allowed under the law. Fight on for Two Years. In the last two years several ef forts have been made to get Kndres to produce his cost books on feeding of prisoners. Kndres, in so many words, ha* told such persons where there is a place much warmer than Nehrnska for them to adopt as a permanent residence. Hi* defense for such unlady like language was that road contractors and others who performed servire for the state and county merely had to perform duties railed for In the con tract and it was no one's business as to how much profit was made from rarrylng out *ttrh a contract. "This/year it will be different." lioye said. "If Kndi'es conies before a committee and denies making profit from feeding of prisoners lie will be asked to produce book* to prove his assertions If he denies the commit tee access to his Isioks ttie committee should take hi* statement with s grain of salt, as I believe, any such assertion should be taken. "It seems so penny wise and pound foolish to me to see legislators and gov ernors tearing their hair as to whether a code secretary should re reive $.1 50(1 or $5,000 per year when In Douglas county everyone in touch with the situation knows the sheriff Is receiving from $20,000 to $25,000 a year In addition to his salary of $5, Ooo a year "Yet, two years sgo while legtsla tors applauded Governor Bay*n for cutting minor salaries (till lower thev defeated a bill w-hich would eurtsil the unwarranted salary of the Douglas county sheriff." Kndres. Jn the last week ha* devoted his entire time in attending the state sheriffs' convention at Lincoln. It Is known lie 1ms done everything pos sible to Influence sheriffs to use their efforts with member* of the legUlR lure in killing the sheriff’n feeding bill which pertain> to feeding of Douglas county prisoners exclusively and has nothing to do with outside feeding of prisoners. The house and senate held brief sessions today. They voted to ad journ until 2 Monday for the pur ]>ose of giving Governor Adam Me Mullen ample time to complete /his budget. Under , the law the governor is given If* legislative days to present his budget and today was the 14th legislative day of the session. Foreclosure liill Killed.
