TRIES TO JEACH LAD CRIME
Stranger Who Seeks to Inveigle Boy
.Into Crooked Ways Race
Away from Police.
Patrol Driver Elmer Lane chased a much
desired stranger a long way through the
darkness shortly before midnight Thursday
night. The fellow had met In Omaha a
mall boy, Howard Bundo, residing at 424
Stutsman street. Council Bluffs, and en
deavored to give him some rudimentary
teachings In crime. He won the boy' con
fidence by giving him what he represented
to be a solid gold ring. After getting the
ring the lad slipped Bivnv from the fellow
and. boarded a car fo e. but not until
ths stranger succeei getting aboard
the same car. After .... ilunclo, boy left
the car he was tvllbwed by the fellow and
was riven another ring with a renewal of
the proposition to learn to become a great
criminal, keeping the child in his company
until late In the evening, but In the pres
ence of several other lads. The little fellow
again evaded him and went to the police
station with tils story and the rings. Ha
gave Officer Lane a good description of
the rascal, and when a fellow closely fitting
It came past the station an hour or two
- later Lane ordered him to stop. He ran
down Bryant street, dodged through tho
central fire station, down Mynster street
and - disappeared In the channel of Indian
creek.
Four You thi Arretted Charged with
Stealing; from Can Admit Guilt
Others Implicated.
Four boys were arraigned at the morning
session of the Council Bluffs police court
yesterday charged with the robbery of mer
chandise cars in the yards of the Illinois
Central railroad.
The eldest was Harry Duggan, aged 19,
residing at South Eighth street and Nine
teenth avenue. The others are: Henry
Thompson, 17, whose widowed mother re
sides at Eighth street and Twenty-fourth
avenue; Henry Kerns, 17, whose parent re
side at Twenty-sixth avenue and Fourth
street, and Floyd Blddle, 18, son of a widow
living at $14 Harrison street
Each was confronted by indubitable evi
dence of his crime and each made a full
confession. Piled by the side of the Judge's
desk were two soiled and mussy bolts of
mohair goods, one bolt of black and one of
wine color, and a cheap shoddy-cloth ulster
overcoat, nine sizes too big for the largest
boy. The pile of stuff was the product of
their last raid on a merchandise car. None
of the stuff was worth a cent to them un
less they could find a buyer, and It was
this feature of the case that gave It In
terest. While not charged in the Informa
tion It was brought out by the lnvestlgae
tlon that the boys were systematically en
gaged In the robbery of car and finding
somewhere a market for whatever they
stole, and started an Inquiry that may
Implicate a great number of persons. In
cluding employes of the Illinois Central and
Wabash roads.
The arrest of the boy followed the
breaking of the seal on a Wabash car that
had been transferred to the Illinois Central
late Thursday night. The special officer
of the railroad, co-operating with the local
police, traced the robbery to oris of the
boys and went to Duggan' house at 3
o'clock yesterday morning. But half awake,
the boy lost his cunning and in answer 'to
the first question of where the goods were,
said the stuff was In the house and pro
duced It. He said he thought he wa talk
ing to hi friends, and when he realized he
was In the hands of officers reluctantly
tave the name of his confederates, and all
were arrested before daylight.
The officers were placed in possession of
information that leads them to believe that
the youthful thieves were connected with a
much larger band. Including a number of
yard employes. Some of the boys talked
freely and told of the nightly raids that
were made on the cars, and it I said that
Duggan Is ready to give much valuable In
formation. All of the boy were sept to
the county jail to await the action of the
grand Jury, while some of the heart-broken
parents left the court room in tear. Rail
road officials aay that scarcely a night
passes without a car robbery In the yards
and they believe they are now on the trail
of a well organised band of thieves and men
who receive their stolen plunder.
Later in the night J. H. Splckler, 1422
Avenue E, an Illinois Central switchman
was arrested; charged with breaking Into a
car and stealing a case of shoes, and when
confronted with evidence of hi guilt, the
officer say, -he admitted the charge and
declared that when he failed to find a pair
of shoe in the case that would fit hlra
turned the whole case in the firebox of a
locomotive early yesterday morning. He
was also held to the grand Jury.

George Nagamoto, the young Japanese
from South Omaha, who had considerable
difficulty In securing a marriage license
on Tuesday on account of the suspicion of
Marriage License Clerk Hoy Hardesty that
the bride was not old enough, returned to
Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon and
married Miss Emma Neumann, the pretty
little German-American girl whose affec
tions he had won. They had a very pretty
civil wedding in the office of Justice Cooper.
The marriage was not celebrated immedi
ately after the license was ta'xen out on
account of the illness of the bride's par
ents, residing In South Omaha. After the
ceremony the bridal party returned to their
new home In South Omaha, leaving the
court house yard with the applauding
shouts-of ."Banzai Nlpon! ringing In their
ears.
j Despite the fact that the big excursion
planned by. the Council Bluffs boosters for
Oakland yesterday was called off at the
last minute, after enough tickets had been
sold to fill the special train ordered from
the Rock Island, a large number of Coun
cil Bluffs people took the regular morning
train for that place. There waa no organ
ization, however, and hundreds who ex
pected to Join the boosters' orowd were
bitterly disappointed. The failure of the
Rock Island to provide the train was a
great 'disappointment, and to none more
than to General Agent Hansen, whose grief
was further Increased by the fact that an
hour after the excursion had been called
off and the ticket money refunded the head
officials wired that the train could be
furnished.. If the plans could have carried
out the train would have carried more than
600 peoplo from Council Bluff and Inter
mediate points. .
