HE TURNS REAL COP
WHEN TAKING STAR
Ifew Officer Arrests Man Who
He Says Sold Him Drinks
Before His Appointment.
"Don't bite the hand that's feeding
you" seems to be an expression un
known to Office Daniel Morford, ap
pointed to the police force last Fri
day. Morford, according to his own.
testimony, has obtained whisky a
number of times at the soft drink
parlor of Louis Cantoni, 723 South
Sixteenth street. Last Sunday he met
a friend of his named Emery Ebert
from Nebraska City, and asked him if
he wanted a drink. Ebert assented
and both went to Cantoni's place at
3:30 Sunday afternoon. Morford
asked Cantoni if he could get a
drink, to which he received the reply
that there was no whisky in the
buitding at the time, but that he
could get some.
At 5 o'clock Cantoni, ignorant of
the fact that Mortord had been ap
pointed to the police force, gave him
two glasses and one pop bottle of
whisky, for which he received $1.15.
To Cantoni's intense astonishment
Morford then rose up and revealed
himself in his true character and ar
rested him.
At the preliminary hearing in po
lice court luesday morning Cantoni
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
keeping and selling intoxicating
liquors. He was fined $100 and costs
by Judge ritzgerald, but appealed.
and was bound over to the district
court. He was released on $250
bonds.
Union Pacific Builds
Costly Tracfc in Utah
At a cost of $3,000,000 the Union
Pacific has completed and opened to
traffic its new second track between
Wasatch and Emerson, Utah, a dis
tance of sixteen miles. Construction
work on this stretch of roadbed and
track was commenced in April, 1916,
under the direction of R. L. Hunt
ley, witfi Kilpatrick Bros. & Collins
of Omaha, general contractors.
While the new second track work
on the Union Pacific does not mate
rially shorteii the distance between
Omaha and the coast, it reduced a
grade from 1.77 to 1.14 per cent on
this particular portion of the system.
In the sixteen miles there is one fill
1,000 feet long and 113 feet high con
taining 1,000,000 cubic yards of rock
and earthy There are four tunnels,
one of which is 1,000 feet in length.
The new line is on the north side
of the old and the grade is easy
enough that single engines can pull
as much over it as double-headers
could over the old. The new grade
will be used for eastbound and the
old grade for the westbound business.
Freight Car Shortage
Solved by Unit System
Railroad men are confident that the
unit system of handling freight cars
has solved the car shortage and that
it has become a thing of the past.
All railroad freight men assert that
while the freight business moving in
all directions is the heaviest in the
history of the country, there is no car
shortage. Under the pooling system
empty freight cars are shunted from
one road to another and as a result
shippers in any locality are able to get
cars on short notice.
