p"ct in tlic murder April 24 of Patrol

Captain Maloney of the detective
bureau has forwarded to Mineapolis
Curtis' picture and his Bertillon meas
urements.
Patrolman Connery was murdered
by two men whom he tried to arrest
for speeding. The men drew guns
on the officer, ordered him to get into
the machine, which was stolen, and
abducted him to the outskirts of the
city. There his body was found, bul
let-ridden, the next day.
Curtis was broueht to Omaha froi
North Platte because he confessed to
the theft of $500 worth of women's
clothing from the home of Miss Belle
Van Antwerp of Claremont Inn. He
later retracted this confession, stating
tnat lie naa implicated nimselt in the
robbery to avoid standing trial in
North Platte on the charge of carry
ing concealed weapons.

Mixed Feed.
"A good feeding mixture for lay

oats, sca'.tered in clean litter, so they'll

for chicks the first three days is stale

The chickens should be allowed to
get their full growth before being

in these days to cattle. Calves are not
to be slaughtered, but allowed to
grow into beef. Lambs are to be
kept until they have grown into sheep.
New potatoes should not be eaten,

Federal Control

Two cars of the George C. Belmont

the Cudahy Packing company through

sion, company for $17.70. breakins all
previous records for fed lambs.
' I believe that the state or federal
authorities should stop the sale of
dairy cattle to packing houses."
Dairy and Milk Inspector Bossie.
Since January 1 fourteen dairies in
und near Omaha have gone out of
Business, disposing of 425 dairv cattle.
many of which went to the packing
pianrs to dc siaugntered.
The high cost of feed is given as
ine reason tor tins situation. Dairy
men predict unprecedented milk
prices soon.
C. B. Post is now selling his herd
ot htty-two cows at auction. Next
tuesday the Underwood and the Rock
Springs dairies will sell thirty-five

Barker Block Elevator
Falls, njuring Three
The elevator in the Barker block,
southwest corner of Fifteenth and
Farnam streets, fell ten feet yester
day evening with Operator Henry
Brown and two passengers aboard.
None were seriously injured, though
ur. n. n. iveim suttered a severe
shock to his nerves. Charles J. John
son, building contractor, coming from
the rooms of the Builders' exchange,
sixth floor, was badly shaken up, but
suffered no evil consequences. Dr.
Keim has been a sick man for some
months and has but recently come
out of the hospital. He is still very
weak and nervou9 and the shock
proved almost too much for him. The
city building inspector has inspected
the elevator a number of times in the
last several weeks. Members of the
Builders' exchange feel the elevator
should be condemned now and the
installation of a new one forced.
Colonel W. E. Bachr, command
ing the Fourth National Guard, takes
exception as aspersions cast upon the
Guard and regular army by a news-
ri'' unci view concerning the pro
posed organization hy a civilian of
a regiment to be offered to the gov
ernment for service in France.
The newspaper quotes the organizer
as saying that many men have not
joined the regular army or National
Guard because they did not want to
guard bridges.
"More patriotism is required" to do
the home guard duty preliminary to
war than to charge on the hafilcfiM
under flying colors and roar of shells,"
says Colonel Baehr.
Doing Real Service.
"Furthermore, the lads of the army
and guard, now guarding bridges and
food stores and assuring the safety
of the people and the nation at home,
are in federal service and will see
more active war service, long before
private organizations are even
equipped.
"The president has called for vol
unteers for the war, and the only
authorized way for volunteers tn
respond is hy enlisting in the National
Guard, regular army, navy or marine
corps.
It is Draiseworthv for rivil tans tn
talk about raisin? reuimen( tn n(T.r I
ui specmca service, and it is good
advertising for them. Hut the Omaha
district has already produced over
',000 actual war volunteers, and there
is room for many more, who are will
ing to pledge allegiance to the flag
and the commander-in-chief, and to
serve in whatever capacity they are
ordered."
Orders for the Fourth Guard regi
ment to assemble at Fort Crook and
leave for active war service wherever
the War department deciles to send
fighters, are expected to come from
vvasnington shortly.
