Division of Lar?e Sum Offered for
Train Robbers Lire Topic.
PARENTS STAND UP FOR SONS
Irscameat to What Hays Wr
Really Responsible for r)Trri
Cache la nrowlasr Warn, aad
ths Heat la Rials;.
A the dlx-lslon of spoil la the esse of a
sacked city, or the probation of a will In
certain f ml Ilea, has often led to warm
words, even wrangling and riot, so the
division of the reward which la expected
from the apprehension and conviction of
the Overland Limited train robbere haa
itarted bad blood already In Brown park
ctween the neighbors whose sons assisted
Ti so many ways In the recent event.
The parents of every boy who could lay
claim to the least part of the affair or who
happened to be near tha lucky boy who did
discover anything have been quick to In
elBt on the claims of tnetr sons. It Is
known that the parents of John Krollk. the
boy who pulled the strap which revealed
the cache, have hired an attorney to look
aftor his rights. The parents of Frank
Kudrna' also , hsve ait; attorney. John
Vavra. the Janitor of the smool, who claims
to have found the mall sacks, went to see
an attorney before h- revealed his find to
anyone.
Now comes forward the parents of Stan
ley Periim and say that all reports of the
find of the gun are Ilea and that Stanley
Terlna was the finder of the protruding
i-trap. He ssld the other boys "bluffed him
out" and he did -not dare tell that it was
be who found the guns. He said he called
John Kmllk and told him about the straps
be had eh- So there la trouble ahead for
Krollk.
A. Benti. the second Janitor of the
Brown Tark school, sends the following
communication. "You have made a mls
tHke In your report about the man who
found the mall sacks. I. Mr. Bents,
found the sncks and called Mr. Vavra. I
would like the mistake made right." It
follownv therefore, that with all his con
sultation of legal advice. John Vavra te
to have active competition for the prise.
Floes Miss Hayes Come la t
Here Is another feature. If Mlsa Mar
garet Hayes hod not discovered the hat
which the boys were kicking about, and
a little boy had not told her of the find
ing of the ,un. the Krollk boy, who had
taken the gun home to his grandmother,
would heve kept It probably and made no
report Thursday, the day of fate. Mlsa
Hayes called the police at once and the
Bptiire of the highwaymen followed. Had
the Krollk boy's find been unreported
Thursday the men In their visit Thurs
day night would have discovered the loss
and have been on their guard or have left
town, aa Is believed waa their Intention.
On thul view of the case Mlsa Hayes la
as justly entitled to the reward as the
others.
After these boys come John Pwoboda and
Frank Kudrna, who each found a gun.
John Potarh, Anton Kubat and Harold
Whiiaker found the pocket searchlight.
Joe TesnohMdek and half a doien other
boys did some -particular duty in the case.
Then follow the arresting officers and the
police departments, which worked out the
.letalls of the evidence to convict. By the
lime all claims are settled, many will have
lo exercise forebearance or lose the good
opinion of friends.
Chief Brlggs of the police department
of South Omaha said, "I expect to see that
each boy or each man who furnished a
ilue or who assisted the police department
in any way shall receive his Just con
ilderatlon In the settlement of the reward.
These things will all be settled by tha
proper officials before the reward Is
llvlded. We expect to examine Into all
these fact. I have the names of ail boys
rind all parties In my possession.
The reward offered by the railroad Is
given under the condition that it shall be
paid to the parties who shall apprehend
and convict the highwaymen. Tho offer
(if the I'nited States government is for the
trreit and conviction of the highwaymen.

tract f rem the Omaha
Park Board.
Work will be begun by the middle of
July on a mammoth auction dredge te
be used In the new Levi Carter park,
and It Is expected thst the dredge will
be ready for operation by the first of
November. At least twenty days' work
will be done In e park this year, and
as soon as spring opens next year work
will be resumed and pushed throughout
the season.
Bids for building a dredge were opened
Saturday by the Board of Park Commis
sioners and the contract was let to the
Featherstone Foundry and Machine
pany of Chicago on Its bid of 330.128. On
other bid was submitted by the Ellicott
Machine company of Baltimore at 344,600.
The Featherstone bid Is for dredge com.
plete, and the new machine and Its work
ings were explained to the board by J.
H. Irwin, .the designing engineer.
The Featherstone company built most
of the dredges being used In the work
on the Panama canal, and one operated
by Mr. Irwin on a continuous run of two
years averaged 30,000 cuble yards per dsy
at a cost of 8.10 cents per yard. Tho mi
chine to be built for the Park board will
have a capacity of 120 cubic yards an
hour, and It Is estimated that the silt In
the bottom of the lake In Levi Carter
park will be moved at a cost of 4 cents
per cubic ysrd. One million, seven hun
dred thousand cubic yards of silt will be
taken out of the lake and spread over
the low landSi This silt Is extremely
nutritious and will make vegetation boom
at the park.
The dredge will be built In the park and
Omaha labor and material will be used
as far as possible. Silt will be sucked
Into It through a li-lnch pipe and depos
ited on the shore through a pipe 360 feet
long.
Three Men to the Dredge.
Three men will operate the dredge, but
the company engineers will operate It for
twenty daya before It Is accepted bv the
Park board.

for this year and asked It to secure an
option on the land teased that the board
might buy It If thought advisable.
Thomaa Swift appeared before the board
to protest against the use of Jefferson
square by tramps to the exclusion of
other people. He wanted the .seats fas
tened securely and signs placed to keep
people off the grass. Commissioner Cor
nish said that people of Omaha had al
ways prided themselves on the fact that
there are less "Keep Off the Grass" signs
In our parks than In any other city In the
United States. Mr. Swift was advised that
Jefferson square was not being harmed
materially by the ' people who congregate
there.
Mrs. D. A. McCu-dy, who has the con
cession at Miller park, reported that the

Know 'your own
State
Everybody knows that Nebraska is prosperous. Many people, how
ever, even in Nebraska, do not know the source of its prosperity, except
in their own neighborhood. Neither is it always understood in the cities,
as to the cause of the general prosperity of the farmer, and the farmer may
not be familiar with what has been .most essential in bringing about the
prosperity of our towns and cities.
In the coming articles, descriptive of the diferent ounties of the stata, the Commercial Club and
their gtwd roads campaign will receive attention; from what the etate haa been develop and the place it
holds today in the industrial world; the advantages Nebraska offers to those who may come here; what
the farmers of today have accomplished, and the possibilities for the farmer of the future; what the
took -breeders and stock-feeders have developed and what they are trying to develop; what the dairy
industry has to offer and how it is being received or rejected by the average farmer. The fruit industry
- haa added to the pleasure and profit of the home; the corn grower has learned and is learning, and hif
knowledge of unproved methods are of immense valne to himself and his neighbors. The railroads have)
done much for the state and have receivd much in return from the people. Thrify towns and cities of
the state are growing, and how they are making progress will be told. The county schools, the school
Uaoher and county superintendent of schools are e ntitled to notice and will be toucKed upon.
All of these things will receive special attention in the future articles
No one can be well posted unless they know their own state.
Your friends, elsewhere, will be glad to receive a copy of the issue
containing the account of your home county.
