Farmer Loses Coin,
( But Gains Caution
Race horse confidence men are
again at work in Omaha, according
to Gust Helberg, aged 65, and hu
son. Dennison Helberg. both of Brady
Island, Neb., who appeared at police
headquarters and told how the elder
Helberg had been fleeced out of $25.
Helberg arrived in town Thursday
and during his son's absence he made
the acquaintance of two velvet
ton'gucd strangers who induced him
to "lay" $25 on an alleged ure-thing
horse race in Cuba. He won the bet,
of course, but did not get hij "cut'
because the strangers could not
change a fifty-dollar note. He was
told to return for another "tip" even
better than the first one. This is
where the ' con" men planned to make
the big haul.
'His father'i actions aroused ' the
suspicion of his son, who is wiser to
the ways of the world. After he had
been questioned, the elder Helberg
reluctantly told of his indiscretions.
T he son accompanied the father to
the police station and laid the case
before detectives, who planned a coup
in bring about the arrest I of the
swindlers. Helberg was sent to meet
them aa if nothing had occurred and
the police were to break up the party,
'jut the "slickers" didn't ahow up,
jHelberg believes the experience was
wprth $25.

(.'.1 n RlarLr wM knnwn mail ear-
! rier and community center worker,
was found guilty of stealing two
chickens. He gave the high cost of
living as his excuse, which, however,
did ii"t move the heart of the judge
who passed upon the evidence.
The defendant attempted to estab
lish an alibi, but when that was dis
credited he asked for leniency on the
grounds that he has a wife and works
for Postmaster Fanning.
The case was tried Thursday even
ing at a mock trial held at the Miller
i'ark school community center, of
which Mr. Black is supervisor. The
affair caused much merriment for a I
goodly gathering. In the mock trial
Mr. Black did his best to secure a
clearance, but the evidence was
against him.

GirU and widows, please take no

He has written to Mrs. George W.
Doane, secretary of the Associated
Charities to find him one. ,
"I earn $5 a day, do not smoke,
drink, gamble, nor am '. a rake," he
savs. "I want a heme and a wife and
children, but have never been able to
find a wife."
Mrs. Doane lias a number of wid-1
ows among her poor people, but they
all have children, and this man wants
a wife without little "encumbrances."
As Mrs. Doane is busy every min
ute, she doesn't have time to provide
the required wife.
