Mayor and Clerk Hide.
Mayor Koutsky and City Clerk Bhrlgley
were telling a good atory on themselves
yesterday. It was during Friday afternoon,
when the mayor and clerk were busy sign
ing up the overlap warrants, that they
were compelled to seek shelter In the vault
In the clerk's office for fear of a restrain
ing order. Humors of an injunction to
prevent these warrants 'being drawn caused
little haste on the part of the mayor and
clerk In signing the warrants, also some
ccrecy. Deputy Clerk Bufness was making
out the warrants and was sitting where ha
could keep an eye on the front door. The
mayor and clerk were standing at the
north end of the long desk In the clerk's
offl.ee busy signing their names. Suddenly
Hurness remarked in a stage whisper, "Hera
comes rtoach." Iioth the mayor and clerk
into the vnult, closing the door behind them.
They all thoight that the deputy sheriff
had dropped In to serve the mayor and
clerk with a restraining order. Roach was
entirely Innocent. He had merely called to
talk over the recent election with Burnesa.
Roach aat in the clerk'a office for an even
thirty mlnutea talking politics. Burnesa
made all kinds of excuses about his being
busy, but Roach did not take the hint and
kept on staying and talking. Finally he left
and when the mayor and clerk emerged
from the vault they were perspiring like a
Both of these city officials bought cigars
and distributed them on the promise that
not a word be said about the episode.
Very Few Arrests.
During the last two weeka the police have
made but few arrests and these were for
minor offences. Chief Brlgga aald laat
night that the city waa practically rid of
vagrants and tough characters. What few
petit larceny casea reported is the work of
young toughs who live here with their
parents. Police Judge King has so little to
do these days that he Is thinking of ad
vertising for business. Some days ago C.
B. Gray, whoae home la at taramie, Wyo.,
reported to the police, judge that he came In
with a doxen cars of stock and that he had
been doped and robbed In a resort on lower
N street. Hla loss, he claimed, amounted te
138 In oaah, a gold watch, chain and charm
Chief Briggs discredited the statement
made by Gray and made an investigation.
In speaking of this case ths chief aald:
"I And that Gray arrived in Bouth Omaha
with two cara of cattle, he being given free
transportation by the owners of the stock
for his services In looking after the cattle
while enroute. Just before he reported to
the police Judge that he had been robbed
Gray waa trying to procure fee drinks in
saloons and waa also noticed accosting
persons on the street for the price of m
meal. From my Investigations I find that
Gray did not have $35 when he reached
Bouth Omaha, neither did he have a gold
watch, chain and charm, as he claimed."
The chief Is naturally vexed about auch
torlea. especially, aa he says, when there
Is no truth In them. Shippers -to this mar

T'nlon stock yards, but by the city depart

and comes from the Cherokee district. As
steam coal cannot be kept any length of
time on account of spontaneous combus
tion, only about five days' supply Is kept
on hand, the packers depending tfpon the
railroads to deliver n certain number of
cars each day. Talking on this matter, an
official of one of the packing companies
snld:
"The packers are making arrangements
with the railroads for winter's coal, and
there will be no dlfflculty this winter, un
Ich the conditions are similar to those of
a year ago. It has- been stated that the
railroads will endeavor to see to It that a
sufficient number of cars are kept on the
road, so ss to Insure us regular shipments
of coal. As to keeping a supply on hand,
that cannot be done. In the first place,
Cherokee steam coal costs us 98 cents a
ton. and the demurrage on a car amounts
to $1 a day. That would be expensive, even
If we could keep the coal. No, we do not
look for any trouble In the coal supply
this winter."

SHEELYTOWN'S MAYOR IN JAIL
Ed. M. Tattle, Hie 80a aad B. J. HUM
Go oa Rasipsss la a Small
Grocery.
Ed Tuttle of KH North Thirty-first street,
better known aa the mayor of Sheelytown,
and hla son. together with R. J. Rich, who
lives t 3014 Brown street, were enjoying a
little drink in a saloon In the neighborhood
of Thirtieth and Amea avenue laat night
when trouble started over a trivial matter.
The fight In the saloon was of short dura
tion, for Tuttle retreated out the front door
of the place, closely pursued by Rich. The
chase was so hot that the ' quarry was
forced to seek refuge in the grocery store
of K. P. Sellgren, 4N)1 North Thirtieth
street, where he quickly erected a barricade
with some sugar barrels snd prepared to
hold the fort against all comers. He was
quickly joined by his son, who had armed
himself with a hatchet, which he was
wildly flourishing.
When Rich appeared in the doorway he
was assailed with a fusillade of projectiles
In the shape of canned goods, bottled cat
sup, mustard, etc. The fire wss so con
tinuous that It was found Impossible by the
enemy to advance. Rich retired two or
three times and tried to work his nerve up
to the sticking point, but every time he
came back fire waa opened hotter than
ever. During the proceedings Mrs. Bell
gren, wife of the grocer, who had taken
refuge behind a cracker box, tried to get
out of the way, but only succeeded in get
ting In the wsy. When she got Into range
she was quickly put off watch by a well
directed two-pound bottle of French mus
tard, which bounded oft her solur plexus
through one of the front windows of her
husband's place of business. N
When Officers Home and McDonald came
up as reinforcements the former mayor of
Sheelytown was In better form to with
stand a long siege than he had been at any
stage of the game, but the eight of hla old
enemies, th bluecoats, was too much for
him, and he capitulated without a parley.
He and Rich were both landed at th
police atatlon, charged with disturbing the
peace by fighting. A ' special detachment
was looking for the son almost all night,
but he could not be located In any of his
usual haunts.
Sellgren s store looked like a small slsed
cyclone hsd been jollying with It, sfter the
belligerents were removed. Most Xjf the
front windows were- broken out by flying
mlratles. and the stock was scattered from
one end of the building to the other, where
It had been thrown. Th showcases also
suffered badly. The hatchet and some of
the badly battered canned goods ware
taken to the atatloa, where they are held
as evldeuc of the encounter.

spoke of the general outline of the con
templated boulevard as following the con
tour of the bluffs from Pierce street
round to Rlvervlew park, as the most
practlcul solution of the problem of Ingress
and egress for (he Grand View district.
Mr. Cornish said that he had to give up
about 100 schemes for every park and boule
vard scheme .that was eventually realized
upon. He was always of the opinion that
the most attractive view afforded In the
vicinity of Omaha Is the river view from
William street around the crest of the hill
to Rlvervlew park. The proposition In
volves a difficult engineering problem. He
deplored the destruction of property In this
locality through the cutting of the Sixth
street canal. A atatement had been made
by one of the city engineers that enough
property had been cut away In Omaha
through the deatruction of the hills for
street purposes to make a mound two
miles In circumference and 600 feet high.
Mr. Cornish said further:
"The proposition for a boulevard should
present some definite form. The boulevard
should start from somewhere and end
somewhere ss a basis for the park commis
sion to work upon. I am In favor of and
have always contended for a system of wide
boulevards to connect with a system of
small parks throughout the city. In this
special locality the serious problem Is the
Sixth street cut. A feasible plan would be
to build a viaduct over Sixth street r-t some
point In rear of the Kountse property and
then follow the contour of the bluO
around towsrd the brick kilns, then skirt
ths ravins In the rear of St. Joseph's hos
pital and catch the hill again, and thence
en to Rlvervlew park. This ravine couM
be dammed at some point snd a pretty lake
created. Then by a broad boulevard be
tween Rlvervlew park and Syndicate nark
of Bouth Omaha one of the finest contin
uous parks In the country would bs crested.
By sucn a plan land that la now worthless
could be utilised In msklng sdjaeent prop
erty mor valusbls, snd this section of the
city would be trsnsposed Into a most valu
able residence district."
The street csr matter relative to the Sixth
street extension was briefly discussed, and
the committee wss directed to continue It.
