Hrfore Ooorge Mitchell and his comrade-in-arms,
Jamea McCann, ahall hava ben
ready to leave Omaha, strawberries will
be within reach of the masses, that tar
den product at present being- sold by the
name of asparagus will be what the dic
tionary man. Mr. Webster, says It Is
namely, "a genus of perennial plants be
longing to the natural order llllacex" U
the horses In town will have been clipped,
screen doors will be up, merry-go-rounds
will be revolving and the precocious office
boys will be stealing a while for the base
ball games on the pretext that their
grandmothers are 111 with appendicitis or
that they want to show their Uncle Fuller
around the town. Other things which go
with the merry May days will be in the
custody of Sheriff McDonald. For Satur
day morning Police Judge Crawford sen
tenced the men thirty days each In the
county , Jail, the charges having been
vagrancy.
Nor does that tell the whole story about
thee soldiers of fortune. Mitchell and Mc
Cann came to Omaha" from St. Louis Fri
day before sundown. Patrolman Shields
espied the visitors and sent them into the
police station for Investigation. When ar
rested Mitchell was playing the part of a
m;in with a badly crippled arm. The police
surgeons examined Mitchell and declared
the case to be bogus. Accordingly the
prisoner were arraigned Saturday morn
lng before the people's bar on vagrancy
charges.
"What Is ths matter with your arm?"
questioned the police Judge when Mitchell
pulled up his coat sleeve and brought to
view a blistered arm carefully bandaged
"Well, Judge, I'll tell you: A few days
ago I waa in a street car wreck at Louis
ville, Ky. Three people were killed. Mo
an' me pal came to Omaha so we could
forget the experience. It's up to you,
judge," responded Mitchell. .
Then It was explained to the magistrate
that Mitchell's arm had fly blisters, self
inflicted, for the purpose of duping the
charitably Inclined. When it was pro
posed to put the hearing oft until Monday
morning, ao Patrolman Shields might be
present to testify, Mitchell and McCann
spoke up as one man that they would plead
guilty to vagrancy.
Then came the Judicial pronouncement
which meant that Mitchell and McCann
will remain here until asparagus becomes
Itself again and the sweet girl graduates
begin to tulk new dresses to their kind
parents.
"Solomon had the right hunch when he
SHld something about all being vanity and
that now you see it and then you don't,"
declared W. 8. Ruble before the people's
bar Saturday morning. Ruble appeared
before the police Judge like a man who
had been tried by fire or had stuck out
when ho might have brought In a wlnn.'-yr
run for the home team and had his name
In the papers the next day. Ruble was
arrested Friday evening by Patrolman
Van Dusen on the charge of having taken
unto himself an undue portion of brewed
and distilled liquors. Io view of the pris
oner's sad experience the police Judge was
moved to dismiss the man with a heart-to-heart
talk.
Ruble said he came to Omaha with his
DHnd uniform, which he sold, later ex
changing the money for headaches and
heartaches. He then sold his Sunday suit
of civilian clothes for a walking suit and
the difference In legal tender. The money
all went for drink and now Ruble Is gel
ting a new start in life.
While the police recognize that every
man s home is his caatle, yet they do not
rec-ogntxe box cars as castles. They look
on box cars as the property of common
carriers and dangerous things tn .
under when in motion.
Frank, Miller was arrested Friday even
ing by Patrolman Fahey for sleeping in
a box car at Eighth and Famam streets.
A railroad watchman notified the police
that Miller waa wooing Morpheus in the
railroad yards, which waa against the
rules of the operating department of the
road. It later developed that Miller was
snoring so loudly that the watchman s
attention waa attracted from afar (Seventh

Foster, upon whose face he left the im
prints of his strong right arm. As Miss

Tim He Had at lis
Fraaclsro.
ITarry F.dKhlH, younger son of Patrolman
Bdghlll, has Just returned from San Fran
cisco with hls-wlfe and a trunk, all he was
able to save from the ruins. Mr. Edghlll
told a thrilling account of the disaster in
which he had some trying experiences. All
of his household goods were destroyed.
'Before my wife and self could realise
what had happened the planter began to
fall on us. We grabbed a few clothes and
made for the street, where others were
rushing frantically about. For the first
forty-eight hours we lived on a sidewalk.
Then we managed to return to our house
and dug out a trunk and suit case, which
we packed as full as we could. We also
saved a watch. The fire was getting near
the house, so near that In the heat we had
to leave some things we had stsrted to carry
away with us for emergency. I actually
dragged that heavy trunk filled with goods
for four miles, and then we stayed In a
vacant lot for a few days before getting
over to Oakland, where the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows assisted us to get
home to Omaha," said Mr. Edghlll.
Mr. Edghlll Is now at home with his
parents, 712 South Twenty-second street.
He left Omaha seven yesrs ago and was
employed with a street railway company.
Harry Edghlll 'sprang Into local promi
nence nearly twelve years ago in a six-day
bicycle race at the Coliseum, where he de
feated all the champions In this part of the
country. At that time he was a messen
