Information was received at the

Finds Her Brother,
St Louis, Mo., Nov. 24. (Special
Telegram.) Mrs. C. E. Klinger, wife
of a business man of Omaha, today
identified at the morgue the body of
a man shot and killed in a revolver
duel with Police Sergeant Fleharty
in a drug store hold-up as her broth
er, John Joseph Davis. The tlain
bandit was a railroad brakeman.
Mrs. K linger said Davis was appar
ently not financially embarrassed, as
he had departed from Omaha nine
days ago with $1,000 of his own
money. She declared that so far as
she knew her brother never before
had been implicated in a criminal act.
She was accompanied by her husband.
A verdict exonerating Sergeant
Fleharty and declaring Davis' death a
justifiable homicide, was returned by
a coroner's jury.
The dead man's partner, Charles
Alfred Lewis, Kansas Uty, is in a
serious condition at the city hospital.
Mrs. Anna Doyle Davis, 24, who made
the tripv from Omaha with another
woman and the two men, and who
was arrested after the holdup, was re
leased by the police after the inquest
Judge Leslie Says
South Side Parents
Too Lax With Boys
Judge Leslie of the juvenile court
read the riot act to parents of several
South Side boys who were arraigned
for breaking into freight cars in the
railroad yards and stealing merchan
dise. He told the parents that they
were more to blame than the 1oys,
charging several with aiding and abet
ting the lads in their thefts.
About twenty boys were in court,
several of w?iom had been arrainged
the previous Saturday and given sus
pended sentences to the state indus
trial school at Kearney. Judge Les
lie paroled ten of the lads to Kear
ney! and released the remainder on
their promises to "be good."
Want Place Set Aside for
Docks on the River Front
A suitable place on the river front
for docks and terminals in the future
as river navigation grows at Omaha is
what is now desired by the Missouri
River Navigation league. The league
has asked the city commissioners to
set aside what if known as the Wind
spear Triangle at the bend in the
Missouri river cast of the Union Pa
cific shops for a municipal terminal.
The commissioners referred the mat
ter to the legal department. '
Woman Asks Damages for
Injuries to Her Husband
Minnie Duncan believes in looking
out for the welfare of her husband
and has started suit in district court
against Rosario Camillari, a saloon

' was "beat up." The petition relates
that while in the saloon some one
playfully hit Mike over the head with

The H. C of K. W. (high cost of
keeping warm), or how much is the
difference between coal prices now
and last summer, is to be determined
by the district court; at least, a plain
tiff has filed a petition with the clerk
in which he asks to have the question
settled.
David Gerher deals in coal. He has
a number of regular customers whom
he supplies with the commodity taken
from the bowels of the earth which
has come to be regarded as in the
same class with diamonds, rubies and
precious stones.
fczra sidman is also a coal man, his
yards being located at 519 South Thir
tenth street. Sidman is more of a
wholesaler.
According to Gerber"s petition he
contracted for 1,500 tons of coal, for
future delivery, at $4.15 and $475 a
ton. It is alleged that the contract
was made June 14.
Now Gerber claims that Sidman de
livered only 425 of the 1,500 tons or
dered. Gerber complains that he is
unable to supply his customers and as
a result should be recompensed to the
amount of $4,225, many, many tons of
the black stuff that burns. The plain
tiff explains that coal of the same
grade as was contracted for last sum
mer is now selling for $6 and $7 a ton.

Making Plans to
Speed Up the Mints;
- Small Coins Scarce
New York, Nov. 24. Plans for in
creasing the output of the United
States mints were discussed at a con
ference held here by director of the
mint F. I. H. Von Engelken, Ver
non M. Bovie, superintendent of the
New York essay office, and Superin
tendents of Mints A. M. Joyce, of
Philadelphia, Thomas Annear of Den
ver and T. WH. Shanahan of San
Francisco.
"Although the mints are turned
out an average of 3,000,000 quarters,
dimes, nickels and cents per day,"
said Mr. Von Engelken, they are
unable to supply the ever-growing de
mand due to the wave of prosperity.
The conference was held for the pur
pose of speeding up the different
mints to maximum capacity."
From July 1 last to November 21
the three mints turned out 173,688,000
coins of different denominations.

THANKSGIVING
INBUSINESS
Dreiher Brothers, Cleaners,
Show Spirit of Thanks for
Success Given Them.
In Return for Favors, Will
Render an Exceedingly
Prompt "Thanksgiving"
Cleaning Service.
Of course, Thanksgiving day re
wards wil lnot be thrust upon those
who will not make proper efforts
to deserve them.
Drearier Brothers, the Dry
Cleaners nd Dyers, at 2211-2217
Farnam street, have been accord
ed a brimming-over success be
cause, of the numerous years of
study and effort they have put
into the business.
Just think: Dresners', plant has
gotten to the point where 100 em
ployees are necessary (exclusive of
the force at DresheT The Tailors,
1615 Farnam street). And nine
automobiles sra required to de
liver the clothes that are put in
order for Omahans each and every
working day.
Then, too, Dresners have those
busy branch offices at the Bran
ileis Stores, at the Burgess-Nash
Co.'s, and at the Harney street of
fice directly in the rear of the
Drsher plant. Add to this the
thousands of packages that are re
ceived right along from all parts
of Americs. Dreshers pay express
or parcel post charges one way on
any sized shipment, and for that
reason have been accorded a mail
order patronage second to none in
the land.
The Dresher plant today repre
sents an investment of $150,000,
but it has taken eighteen years of
study and six years of actual prac
tice to bring this immense indus
try about
Now, then, in order to show an
appreciation of this success, Dresh
ers feature the "Service, Not
Self," ides. Dreshers will call for
your work any time Monday and
agree to have the clothes back to
you, in superb condition, by
Wednesday evening in plenty of
time for Thanksgiving day wear.
Just phone Tyler 345 for a Dresh
er Auto and the Dresher workers
will do the rest
As repeatedly told you, Dresh
ers will do much towards reducing
the H. C. O. L. for you (High Cost
of Living). For s modest sum
Dreshers will place your last sea
son's garments into a spick and
span condition, plenty good enough
and plenty stylish enough for this
season's wear.
Run this all through your mind
Then phone Tyler 345.
