Forecaster Welch of the Omaha station ol

bureau predicted that It would not , or thai
It will bo dry because the forecast Is foi

Holdup No. 6 for the week took place last
night at 8:45 : o'clock on Elghtenth street
between Caas and Chicago , observing , an ap
parent plan that each succeeding event of
.he kind should be brought off three-quarters
of an hour earlier. The young man who had
.ho experience waa Darl Houthj who Is em-
> lojcd by the Omaha Van and Storage com-
ainy , and the highwaymen took from him all
the money he had at thu time , which
amcuntcd to about 11.
Mr. Houth loSgcs with his brothers at 112G
North Nineteenth street and shortly after
supper started to stroll downtown. Ho was
going south on Eighteenth street and had
reached the middle of the block between
Chicago and Cass , when two men stepped
directly in his path from a recess between
two fences. The street at this point Is un-
llghted and heavily shaded an J Mouth did net
sec the men until ho was within fingers'
touch of them.
The bandits sought no originality of
method , but told Uouth plainly to throw up
hla hands. 'Tho command was obeyed and
one of the men searched hla packets , secur
ing the money In small amounts. They ex
pressed disgust that Uouth was no better
provided with funds , and then told him with
an oath , "flo ahead and don't look back. "
Uouth obeyed and reported the occurrence to
n patrolman , who notified the central sta
tion. Sergeant Her and Detectives Savaga
and Dcmpscy Investigated the matter and
searched the central part of the city thor
oughly without meeting any suspicious char
acters.
The darkness of the spot gave Uouth little
chance to get an accurate description of the
robbers. Prom his IJca of them , however ,
there Is little doubt that they were the cele
brated pair. Neither on this Decision wore
an overcoat , and one had a close-fitting cap
drawn over hli ears. Their features were
obscured by handkerchiefs held In place
under the hatband. Uouth Is not very con
fident that ho would recognize the men If ha
saw them again.

will show :
"It would seem that the milk inspector

think that Mayor Cmor would do
scmetMng In the 1'iie of milk Inspection that
nou'd be of some bec.fit to the public and
a safeguard to the heal-th of our citizens.
The result of r.uch a teat should bo published
: id become public property , The milkmen
arc the ones who pay for this- Inspection
and parties having a first class article In tc-
gard to butter fat or a clean healthy artlclo
should get the benefit of the Inspector's re
port. In such a report there should be , in.
my oplnlcti , somcth'ng more than a butter

James Oennlgan. a discouraged Rambler ,
caused the arrest yesterday ot Ocorgo K.
Trltblan and Frank Corbctt , cliarRlng that
they had won his nicncy by unfair means.
Dcnnlgan came to this city from the northern
part ot the state , where ho was engaged In
the cattle buslneitr , and tried his fortune In
a Douglas itrcct gambling room. With the
luck of a novlco Dcnnlgan won over $100 and
became so encouraged that ho hunted up a
poker game which was progressing near Fit- '
tccnth and Farnam streets and played for & '
sitting of eight hours. He was about oven
with the game until the last hand , which ho
dealt himself. Owing to the latter fact , ho
Is unable to see how thu thing came about ,
but ho claims that the cards so fell that ho-
secured three kings and "a pair , while ono
of his opponents was accorded four queens.
Dcnnlgan staked and lost everything on his
full hand and at once demanded his money
back on the supposition that something was
wrong. He vta refused and therefore
caused the arri-st of Trlsblan and Corbett on
two charges , one of gambling and another of
keeping gambling tables. ,
