False alarm in Oldfather The fire department found no dan ger at Oldfather Hall Monday after noon after someone reported smelling natural gas in the building. Three fire engines, a deputy chief and UNL police responded to what turned out to be a false alarm. There is no natural gas service in the building, said Jim DeCamp, UNL plumbing supervisor. DeCamp led firefighters through the building to satisfy their curiosity before they declared the scene safe. The building was not evacuated. Amig06 manager nearly robbed An Amigos restaurant manager was assaulted in a failed robbery while mak ing a deposit early Monday morning. The manager was making his night ly deposit at Havelock Bank, 56* Street and Old Cheney Road, at 4 a.m. He was at the drive-up window when a white two-door sedan stopped beside the manager’s car, Lincoln Police Sgt. Ann Heermann said. Someone in the white car pulled out a gun and demanded the money. The manager sped away in his car. As he accelerated out of the drive through, he heard a sharp crack as his passenger window shattered. He was not hurt, and he escaped with the deposit. The damage to the window was about $100.
