Harrison Gets Gay on Visit
To St. Louis anfl is Pinched
You can't tell how men will act
when away from home.
C. F. Harrison, one of Omaha's
leading realtors, and a prospective
warden of the Congregational church,
came within an ace of being haled be
fore police court, while attending the
national convention of real estate men
in Anheuser-liuschville last week.
At home he is one of the most staid
of men, and one whom no one would
accuse of possessing joy-riding pro
clivities. , t '
At St Louis he had as a host one
of the prominent real estate dealers
of that thriving little burg. The St.
Louis man possessed a car-that was
some boat in looks and performance.
He was proud of his go-cart and
Brother Harrison was treated to a
ride around the purlieus of the village
in the 18-karat scooter. It is alleged
that he used some persuasion on his
host in ' making the latter give the
machine a real tryout and while they
were going at the rate of 'steen miles
and something per minute a traffic
cop arrested the bunch.
Mr. Harrison pulled off a real Da
mon and Pythias stunt when he tried
to- pay the fine. Both his host and
the court demurred and the court held
that as the St. Louis man was trying
to show the Omaha man some real
speed, in a spirit of hospitality, all
he should get stuck for was (he costs.
There you have the whole scandal.

Lee Overbce, 1213 South Sixteenth
street, was arrested as leader of the
gang. Police allege that he takes
the stolen cars to West Point, where

Frank Fees and Harry . Plattner of
West Point and Clarence Easter of
Shelton were arrested and are alleged
to have disposed of the cars in West
Point. Fees and Plattner. are pro

All of the recovered cars are known
