THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1913. SOUTH SIDE GLUT OF SHEEP BREAKS RECORD OF THIS MARKET Extraordinary Run on Opening Day, With but Few Choice .' Feeders Presages Low er Prices. The sheep receipts for one day were broken Monday at the Union Stock yards when the run totaled 238 cars. Estimating 270 to the car, this makei approximately 64,300 head. The former record run which was 63,741 head, was established on October 10, 1910. While the qaulity on the whole compared favorably with recent runs, there was a scarcity of extra choice feeder' lambs considering the large receipts. There was much congestion and the market promises to be slow and lower the remainder of the week. Suit for a Suit Causes Tangle in Police Court . Judge Madden had to exercise the wisdom of Solomon, in deciding the case of Alexander against McGlory, in South Side police court Monday. The case was rather involved and had to do with the ownership of a Suit of clothes, which in this day of wool shortage and conservation is a very serious matter. According to both parties, who tre negroes, Lester McGlory was arrested some time ago on a charge of stealing a suitcase from Jackson Alexander, who, by the way, is not the leader of "Alexander's Rag Time band," nor is he in any way re lated to that celebrated person. McGlory was found guilty and was sentenced to serve 15 days in jail. In the suitcase, according to the al , legations of Alexander, was a suit of clothes, which he demanded from McGlory on the latter's release some ' weeks ago. McGlory refused to de liver the suit and Alexander had him rearrested. McGlory contended the clothes .were originally his and he had pawned them to Alexander for $2 with the understanding when he paid the latter the $2 the ownership . of the suit would revert to him. After listening to all of the evi dence, Judge Madden ordered Mc Glory to hasten out and within 20 tninutes produce either the suit of clothes or the "two bucks" to sat- yisy Mr. Alexander, and held the case over until iuesday pending results. Commission Firm Is Sued Mt $10,000 for Slander Donahue-Randall & Co. filed Psuit in district court Monday gainst the Farmers' Union Live Stock commission of Nebraska for v$10,000 for alleged slanderous re- I marks made by representatives of 'the firm. -The action is the out- 1 growth of a controversy which fol lowed two cattle shipments by Sever S, Field and his son, Oscar E. Field of Newman Grove, Neb. Each of the firms were shipped a carload of cattle and the Donahue Randall firm alleges that thev sold their load for $12.60 a hundred .and that their competitors only got $12 per hundred on their load. The pe tition alleges that the defendants in trying to explain away this discrep ancy in prices made accusations of a libelous nature and accused the plaintiff of "juggling" its prices to make a favorable impression on the shippers. Innocent Bystander Is ,- Victim of Barrage Fire ' Because he happened to be the innocent bystander during the pass age of a few social amenities, more or less unpleasant, -punctuated at in tervals by barrage fire from the re volver alleged to have been in the hands of David Davis, James Thom as had his right foot punctured by a. bullet " It is alleged that about 3:40, Sun day afternoon, David ' Davis and Robert Hughes, negroes, got into a very positive, argument and to em phasize the infallibility of his con tentions Davis used a revolver and fired a few shots, but was so nerv ous in his effort to locate his ob jective that he missed Hughes and shot Thomas. The latter was at tended to by a physician and after waving a farewell to the two ne groes who faded into the distance, after the shooting, Thomas was tak en, to his home, 2721 R street.

' HUGE MONUMENT TO MARK SIZE OF LIBERTY DRIVE Mammoth Structure Is to Be Built on Court House Grounds as Bonds Sell. A gigantic monument will be built on the court house square during Liberty loan week, starting Mon day, October 7. It will tower as high as the court house and will not be without ar chitecural beauty. It will be built of empty boxes, each box represent ing $1,000 of Omaha's subscription to the Fourth Liberty loan. As Omaha's quota is around $15,000, 000, there will be about 15,000 boxes in the monument. Each box measures about two by three feet and is of the exact size and specifications for use by the FIRST PAYMENT LARGER. Washington, Sept. 23. Ten per cent of the Fourth Liberty loan subscriptions will be re quired on application, instead ot 3 per cent as for past loans, the treasury announced today. Twen ty per cent will be due November 21, 20 per cent December 19, 20 per cent January 16 and 30 per cent January 30. Red Cross in shipping supplies to France. The boxes will be sold to the Red Cross at the close of the drive when the monument is torn down. Thus there will be no waste of material or effort. Some Stunt. This "stunt" was evolved by the Advertising and Selling league and is such a novel idea that it insures a wide advertising to Omaha as Pfrell as guaranteeing a great inter est in the forthcoming loan, as citizens watch the rapid growth of the monument from day to day. Every detail has been carefully worked out. Architects have gone over the plans and made drawings of the approximate shape of the monument. The foundation will be laid by the Woodmen of the World at noon, Monday, October 7. The size of the fundation will be governed by the amount of Liberty bonds sold by that order. To Store Monuments. The captain of each district in the city will have as many boxes as there are "thousands" in the quota of bonds for his district. These will be stored or built into little "monuments" at some place in each district. Every day the captain of each dis trict will order a certain number of boxes taken to the court house square, this number being" deter mined by the number of thousands of dollars worth of bonds sold in his district. Each day at noon some organiza tion will build up the monument with all the boxes delivered that day to the court house square, A large number of these boxes already are on hand and thousands of other-, are being made with all possible speed and will be ready in nlentv of time to ko into the big gest monument Omaha ever had.
