UD IS RIVETED
ON VERY TIGHTLY
Tenderloin District Like "De
serted Village," While the
Sheriff Prowls Around.
::ruger denies charges
The court house rumpus and its
subsequent developments, including
charges and counter charges by and
against the sheriff, has resulted, it is
.-.aid, in most of the "life" being taken
out of Omaha's so-called "night life."
The lid is understood to be on
lighter than has been the case for
many, many moons.
Following Sheriff Clark's an
nouncement that he would clean up
Umaha whether City Commissioner
Kugel and his policemen assisted him
or not, the city's tenderloin district
Tuesday night took on an aspect like
that of Goldsmith's "Deserted Vil
lage." The sheriff made a little trip of ex
ploration on his own hook and in
vestigated certain placet where peo
ple told him the lid was being tilted
it a dangerous angle nightly. But he
says that he found nary a dive run
ning nor a single resort where erst
while "live ones" were reported to
I he sheriff to be making their haunts.
No "Life" There.
"1 visited all these reputed 'dens
of vice' in the lower end of town and
louud them dark and deserted," said
the sheriff. "If there were any sa
loons or alleged resorts operating
after 8 o'clock last night I couldn't
rind them. Anyone who has evidence
'.hat the lid is not on tight in Omaha
3t in the county has but to submit
it to me and I'll see that the violators
are given a little ride to jail, regard
less of who they are."
Sheriff Clark reiterated his state
ment that he would clean up Omaha
with bis deputies if the city commis
sioner of public safety admitted that
he and his police could not cope with
the situation. "That goes for high
and low," he remarked. "There'll be
no favorites played. Uptown hotels
can't sell liquor after hours no more
than the places in the bowery dis
trict catering to the people of the
midnight world."
John C Kruger, attorney for four
employes of a road house raided by
Sheriff Clark last week, who are su
ing the sheriff for $10,000 each in dis
trict court, alleging falsi arrest; is
sued a statement in which he denied
the charges made by the county of
ficial relative to the automobile show
incident .
The sheriff alleges that Kruger ap
proached him in the automobile show
and asked that the lid be allowed to
be tilted at the Lakeside retort,
owned by some of the attorney's
clients. Sheriff Clark asserts that, his
son, Harold, was present when 'the
conversation took place. .Counsel for
the official threatens to go before the
district court judges in an attempt to
have Kruger disbarred. The road
house, attorney says ibe sherig's .ac
cusations are absolutely ise.
Feud StiU Stmtterf.","
The so-called feud taid to1 exist be
tween the county commissioners and
Sheriff Clark over the jail feeding
goes merrily on, but one aspect of
it the row involving the control of
the jail elevators bids fair to be set
tled by the judges of the district
court.
Judge Sears has appointed a com
mittee, consisting of Judge Troup,
Judge Redick and Judge Day, to draw
up a set of rules governing the opera
tion of the jail. It it understood that
these rules will lay down the law
as to which faction the sheriff's of
fice or the county board is to con
trol the jail lifts, which have been
the cause of a bitter controversy
in the last few days.
Both the county board and the
sheriff have named jail elevator op
erators. The county board will not
allow the sheriff's man to operate the
lifts, and the sheriff has barred Jay
Dudley, the commissioners' choice,
from the jail it is likely that the
judges will conduct hearings for the
purpose of giving, both factions a
chance to submit their arguments.
The former jail committee of the
district court judges became dead
issue with the death of the late Judge
English. There has been no jail com
mittee for two years. Both Sheriff
Clark and Commissioner Lynch ex
pressed satisfaction .when informed
that the judges would probably set
tle the argument as to who will hold
the whip-band in. the jail elevator
squabble. - '

MAGNEY BELIEVES
PRINTERJURDERED
Thinks Man Who Was Found
Hanging Over Buttermilk
Vat Did Not Kill Self.
ASKS POLICE TO FIND OUT
. Fully convinced that Thomas R.
Campbell, 45, who was found hanging
over a huge buttermilk vat in the
Omaha cold storage plant at Eighth
and Farnam streets late Tuesday aft
ernoon did not come to his death
through an accident, County Attorney
Magney has asked the police to make
exhaustive investigations in the hope
that some information may be
brought to light which will clear the
mystery shrouding Campbell' death.
The body was found by A. N.
Thomscn, head buttermaker, when he
began investigating why the vat,
which was supposed to have con
tained about 7,000 gallons of butter
milk, was dry. In some manner
Campbell, had pulled, or caused to be
pulled, the safety valve which let the
buttermilk run out into the sewer.
To gain entrance to the vat it was
necessary to unlock the door of a
shed used as a pump house for pump
ing out the butteimilk and then raise
a board which covered a manhole.
The manhole, about twenty inches in
diameter, led directly to the vat.
May Have Been Murderea.
The above circumstances the county
sttorney believes eliminates the theory
ot accidental death, while Camp
bell's position when found, his coat
caught on a projection, removes any
foundation for a suicide theory. For
these reasons Magney believes Camp
bell may have been murdered and
he has asked the police to make thor
ough investigations and deliver all
available information for an inquest
which the county attorney will hold
Thursday afternoon.
J'oiice scout the theories that he
was looking for a place to sleep or
trying to get a drink of ihe butter
milk and accidentally fell into the
vat. He was identilied by a number
of letters found in his clothes. He is
believed to have been a printer by
trade, The letters were signed W.
W, Garrett, Tweed, Ontario, who is
believed to have been related to
Campbell.
Splendid Fall of Snow ,
Over Western Nebraska
Grain men and others who have to
do with agricultural pursuits are in
high glee on account of the snow
storm that was pretty general over
all that portion of Nebraska west of
a line drawn north and south back
100 miles or so from the Missouri
river.
The snow that fell during a greater
portion of Tuesday night was heavy
and full of water and ranged all the
way from one up :o aixteen inches in
depth. It covered a large portion of
the winter wheat belt of the state and
came at a time that was most oppor
tune, just when the ground was be-
trinnuiK to thaw out.
brain men figure that while before
the snow came the ground was dry,
it was not dry ei.ough to cause any
alarm. Now, however, with the blanket
of snow covering the winter wheat,
and this snow melting slowly, the
moisture will all sink into the earth.
going down to the roots of the grain,
thus giving it a start as soon as the
warm days come.

THE BEE:
Receipt Goes Far
As Check Before
Error Discovered
How a voucher receipt was mis
taken for a check by iwo business
men and a bank, before .'ie error was
discovered, is causing amusement in
Omaha among the persom interested.
Fred Rogers, White auto dealer,
received the unsigned receipt from a
coal company. It was intended to
accompany a check in payment of a
bill for auto supplies, but the check
had been omitted from the letter.
Rogers mistook- the receipt voucher
for the check, signed it and cashed
it with Ed Wirthsafter, when he
bought cigars at the latter's store in
the Bee building.
Wirthsafter supposed the paper was
one of those intricate voucher checks
that are somtimes used by business
firms, and he deposited it. The re
ceiving bank thought the same, and
forwarded it for collection to a Kan
sas City bank that handled the ac
count of the out-of-town coal com
pany. Only then was the mistake de
tected, and the receipt came back
with the penciled notation. "Receipt,
not a check." Rogers, Wirthsafter
and the Omaha bank all had a good
laugh and then the real check was se
cured and put through.
"It all goes to show how speedily
business is done nowadays, when no
suspicion of error or fraud is enter
tained," Wirthsafter remarked.
Wheat, Corn and Oats
Show Slight 'Declines
Grain prices were off Wednesday.
The break was the greatest in -wheat,
which lost 1 to 2 cents, selling from
$1.94 to $1.97a a bushel. Corn
sold down and lost Vi cent, selling at
$1.021.03)4, with oats W of a cent
off, selling at 58;459 cents.
Reasons for the break in prices
were attributed to considerable mois
ture over a greater portion of the
winter wheat belt during the last
twenty-four hours, eastern commis
sion nouses advising the taking of
profits in wheat, a tip that the gov
ernment crop report Thursday would
not be as bullish as anticipated, the
fact that the exporters were not on
the market with buying orders and
that a good many of the buyers had
turned sellers.
Omaha receipts for the day were :
Wheat, twenty-five carloads; corn.
sixty-six, and oats, twenty-five car
loads. Jewish Ladies' Relief
