In the fastest, and most exciting gamo; of the year at the OmirJia "X," the Omaha High schoo. trasKet, hall quintet defeated the fast X-Unl Unim by a rally In the second half after they hod been apparently defeated In tlie, first half. Starting fast and with a surencss that counted toward confidence' In victory, the X-Unl five at the very -beglnnlM? of tlie came played the surprised Omaha five off their feet and ran up, a score of IS to S by tlie end of the first half. But with a desperato rally that began with the beginning of tho second half of the frame, the Purple and White toBsed nlmost Impossible baskets, played their opponents off their feet and completely amazed the Unl fellows. A strange In ability to toss free fouloronls selxtd the locals at the beginning of tne gtfme which was partly due to the small score of the Omaha team, but which, however, was thrown off In the second half when every branch of the game was played perfectly by tho Capitol hill lads. Contrasting with this was the almost perfect free basket tossing of the Unl's basket tosser, Hutchinson. Sonic Ilnngh Work. This was the first game on the local floor characterized by so muoti rough playing. In the first half tho fouls com mitted were largely by the Omaha men, but In the second part the X-Unl team desperate by their apparent defeat, played a rougher gamo than the locals. The defeat administered to the X-Unl players was a great surprise to both tho players and the spectators, who expected defeat for the purple and white by their1 more experienced opponents. Omaha High had two new men In the lineup. Anthes was by far the star for the high school's opponents, tossing four out of the seven baskets for his players and be ing the only man to play a consistent, dean game for the Nebraska Alumni Vlayers. Ilurkenroad, as usual, featured for the Omaha High school and, together, with Hughes, tossed the majority of Omaha's points'. Burkenroad 'made eighteen of the points for Omaha and Hughes got the re maining fourteen. Gardiner, who played left guard for Omaha, was In the middle of every play which came near Omaha's territory and broke up many a well ttrected shot for the high school's basket. Nusle Ruled Oat,. Near the end of the first half Nnjrlo for tho X-t'nls was ruled out of tho game on rough work and was replaced by Has cale, who finished the game at right for ward. Kaglo's absence during the sec ond half was partly the cause of the lump by the X-Cnla and of Omaha's rally, since he had been doing the best work for the high school's opponents. Lineup: O. H. S.

Loss to the amount of 23.000 was In flicted last night by fire which started In some unknown manner In the hay and grain warehouse of the Drogo Kle vator company, locnted at 618-520 Pearl street. Tho fire was discovered at 10 o'clock by one of the members of the Drogo firm as he wan pasrlng up the street. The huge quantities of hay and feed were burning fiercely when the fire men arrived, but with abundant water and good work they succeeded In con fining the tiro to the building and pre venting It from being entirely consumed. The fire evidently started In tho rear and next to the alley, but the owners cannot understand how It occurred. Tho general office tit the company are In the front purl of the ntructuie and these rooms are the only portions of the build ing that are heated, There were no evi dences of llr when tins offices were closed for the day eurly In the evening. Tho firemen confined the Name to the rear part of the building and tho office were not seriously damaged. The Droges last evening placed the total Iosh at $5,000 and said It was fully covered by Insur ance. Several year ugo a building that stood there 'and which wan used for the same purposes was totally destroyed by fire, together with a number of horses. That was an old time structure covered with sheet metal. It was replaced by a sub stantial brick building.

Lads Were Becoming Experts in Stealing Judge Snyder and his Juvenile court, co-operating with the police department, has apparently spotted the making of a promising gang of young bandits when the machinery of the law was net to operating upon "Seedy" McColm. Willie Shnfer and Johnny West, all boys under IS yenrs old, residing In tho vicinity of Broadway and Twenty-first streeet. The lads wero taken Into custody more than a week ago when tho theft of a $15 auto mobile laprobe was traced to them and which was found In the home of the Mc Colm boy. Since then the boys havo been under constant police surveillance and have becomo alarmed enough to give out Inforrqatlon that has led to Implicating them In many othor thefts. They were In Juvenile court yesterday, and each took the witness stand and " 'fessed'' on the others. Thry told a remarkable story of bold and organized thievery, account ing for dotens of petty thefts that have raused great annoyance and loss to auto mobile owners. The Inds were equipped with bicycles, some of which thoy admitted stealing, and were expert In their tisc. Thoy would tide together all over town. Inspecting automobiles found standing In the streets and taking away whatever happened to strike their fancies. Tlie recovered loot consisted of more than a dozen pairs of gloves, half a dozen automobile lamps, many laprobea and quantities of tools. Physicians wero their especial prey, and the confessions of the lads accounts for several missing cases of Instruments. Tho hearing of the lads was continued for a week and they were sent to the Creclie for safe keeping. Less Water Used Than Last Winter Installation of meters, perfect winter weather, not cold enough to tempt people without meters to let the water run to prevent froxen pipes, and perhaps some other causes have combined to permit pretty near the minimum pumpage for the week within the recent history of the waterworks. The total consumption of water during the week was nearly 3,000,1300 gallons less than was required for two weeks. For the week ending yesterday only 17.931.8SC gallons were pumped. The turbidity of the water has greatly les sened since tho ice began to form on the river, but the harmful bacterlul life has shown a slight Increase with a slight decrease In the efficiency of the treatment for the destruction of coll ba cilli.
