NEBRASKA GIVES IP CASH Still Hai the Bofui Draft, However, Left Him aa Security. . -1 ' NEW MADE FRIENDS MISSING Victim Inclined tm Think the lesson la Worth the Money and that Me Will Not Bite on the Game Again. Igtioranceof the modus operandi of the bunco man and over abundance of faith In bis fellow men are responsible for 8. J. Englemayer, a young farmer of Wcet Point, Neb , being swindled out of $S by an ancient confidence game at the I'nlon Pacific transfer depot yesterday mornln. In exchange for $5 of good t nlted Btates money Bnglemayer found himself In possi slon of a worthless draft' for $1,250. EnKlemaycr was en route to Oklahoma City and atopped over In Omaha Thursday night to sea something of a big city by electric light. He spent aome tlma with a man ha met on the train. When Engle mayer left Omaha yesterday morning thla man also happened to be on the same train. At the transfer depot, while waiting to make traJn connections, Englemayer'a new made acquaintance met a friend. Thla friend had a package In the express office, which the agent refused to deliver until the charges on It were paid. The friend had a draft for $1,250 drawn by the Ne braska National bank of Omaha on the Flrat National bank of New York, but the express agent was unable to cash It. The man whom "Englemayer had met In Omaha asked Englemayer If he had any change. When the young farmer from West Point produced his roll containing $66 the man who had the package In the express office reached out and took It. at the same tlma handing Englemayer the draft for $1,250 as security while ha went and got the package. The two men left to get the package and after waiting a considerable time for their return Englemayer' finally tumbled to the fact that In the parlance of the street he had een given a "package," o he hastened up town and reported the matter to the police. The grafters, after getting Englemayer'a monfy, are believed to have taken the first car back to Omaha. Englemayer waa Inclined to take hla loss philosophically. To Sergeant Jim Nlcoll he said: "While of course I hate to lose my money and wMmiow have to return to West Point Instead of going to Oklahoma I guess the experience Is worth something. It wl'.l be a cold day when I flash my roll again before strangers. I don't believe the ex press package racket will catch mo again." Imi all N. T. Plumbing Co. Tel. 260. Night. F-1702.

DE8 MOINES, March fi.-(Special.)-The senate today passed ths bill to provide a way for removal of a public official who wilfully fails or neglects to do his duty. Ths bill provides that on complaint of ten persons the attorney general or governor shall act and bring- the matter before a judge of the court and the officer may bs removed on showing as to his guilt. The bill was debated for two days and a few minor amendments added, but In the main the bill was passed as drafted by the senate committee on Judiciary. This was the only business done in the legislature. The house spent an hour airing the per sonal grievances of a few members fn a quarrel they had with the secretary of the State Board of Health and several of the members denounced the secretary for his alleged lack of courtesy to them. He was also accused of having given out an interview in a local paper which waa false. N The i house reconsidered its vote In de feat of the Haekler bill to permit second class cities to try the commission form of government, aftnr the reconsideration an amendment was offered to fl the mini mum population of cities affected at 7.000 and also to remove the objections which had been made by Waterloo to the bill. It was then made a special order for next week. In the senate Hammlll presented a bill to revise the law as to gambling and swind ling and especially to strike at Just such a situation as that recently developed In Council Bluffs, and to provide that where persons havs been swindled by games of any kind tliey can recover he money, earltr Compaar Measare.
