Secure Large Structure at
Ninth and Leavenworth
Streets for Storage
Purposes.
Just at a time when real estate
operations in Omaha seemed at a
low ebb, a transaction was consum
mated by which, for a consideration
of $30,000, the Basket Stores com
pany has acquired from Joseph
Barker, the warehouse at the north
east corner of Ninth and Leaven
worth streets.
W. D. Williams, president of the
Basket Stores corporation, which
runs a string of stores in this city,
Council Bluffs, Lincoln and other
places, determined a year ago to
construct somewhere in this city a
large warehouse for the benefit of
the growing trade of his establish
ments. lie had all the plans drawn for the
structure but on account of the gov
ernment restrictions in regard to
the erection of new buildings the
plans had to be dropped.
Demand for additional space, how
ever, was insistent, and the ware
house at Ninth and Leavenworth
streets being available, the property
was purchased under the direction
of Mr. Williams by W. R. McFar
land of the World Realty company.
The building is located in the cen
ter of the wholesale district, with
Union Pacific trackage with a ca
pacity for the unloading of three
cars of merchandise at once.
The building has 30,000 feet of
floor space for storage purposes.
The Basket Stores company now
operates 50 stores and for the past
five weeks has opened up a new
store each week. '

FOOT BALL STAR
MAKES CAPTURE
OF ABURGLAR
C. H. Coye, Awakened in the
Night, Leaps on Thief and
Holds Him Until the
Police Arrive.
C. Horton Coye, salesman for the
Carpenter Paper Co., Omaha, and
once famous as a football star, put
the old "grid" tactics into operation
at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning
when he tackled a burglar who had
invaded his home, 621 Franklin av
enue, Council Bluffs.
He downed the burglar, threw him
into the bath room and held him
there until police came. The burg
lar had cut the telephone wires be
fore entering the house and the
police call had to be sent from the
neighboring house.
The burglar got Into the house
through a kitchen window and,
after looting the rooms down stairs,
went to the second floor, where he
accidently aroused Coye from sleep.
Coye made a' flying tackle and
floored the man. Then he got a
strangle-hold and beat him up a
bit.
The racket awakened Mrs. Coye
who telephoned the police. It was
then discovered that the wires were
cut. Mrs. Mack Goodwin, next door
neighbor, called the station and
Officers Crum and Sloan responded.
When they arrived Coye had thrown
the man in the bath room and
locked the door.
The police found a husky Italian,
26 years old, who said his name is
Emilo Brasso and that his home is
San Francisco. The officers had to
patch him up a little to prepare him
for his appearance in police court.
He was held to the district court
grand jury under $2,000 bonds,
charged with burglary. The investi
gation also disclosed him to be a
draft evader, and he may be turned
over to the military authorities.

BrieJ City News
To be possessed of a head of
heavy, beautiful hair ; soft, lustrous,
fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff
is merely a matter of using a little
Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now it costs but a few
cents all drug stores recommend
it apply a little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an
appearance of abundance, freshness,
fluffiness and an incomparable
gloss and lustre, and try as you will
you can not find a trace of dan
druff or falling- hair; but your real
surprise will be after about two
weeks' use, when you will see new
hair fine and downy at first yes
but really, new hair sprouting
out all over your scalp Danderine
is, we believe, the only sure hair
grower, destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp, and it never
fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty
and soft your hair really is, moisten
a cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair
taking one small strand at a time.
Yur hair will be soft, glossy and
beautiful in just a few moments
a delightful surprise awaits every
one whb tries this. Adv.
