THE BEE:'' OMAtfA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1918.
"JIMMIE" FORD
US ARRESTED ON
BOOZECHARGE
Bootlegging Expedition Ends
v in federal Action for Con
spiracy Against Salvito
Also.
- Jimmie Ford, brother of the, form
"" tr manager of the notorious, Lake
side road house, and partner of Tom
Dennison and "Johnnie" Lynch in
the venture, was arrested Tuesday
on an indictment returned by the
federal grand jury at Lincoln, on
a warrant charging him with con-
airacy to violate the Reed amend
tnent.
Martin J. Salvito, an alleged part
ner in the conspiracy, was arrested
on the same charge late Monday
afternoon.
It is alleged the indictment was
the result of revelations made by
Sam ' Finsod. an automobile . me
chanic, in the employ of the men and
who gave all the details because he
felt he had been double-crossed in
his end of the deal.
Starts on First Trip.
According to his story Finsod and
Ford met at the home of Salvito,
s 1710 Cass street, one Sunday last
June and there made arrangements
for the transportation of contra-
l)ind liquor into the state.
It is alleged they employed Fin
aod, who was to receive $100 for
each trip, to drive a powertui caou
lac roadster, bwned by Lynch, to
St. Joseph, Mo., and there load it
p with whisky ana Dnng u
cargo back to Omaha
.Salvito and Ford, it is said, gave
Finsod $480 with which .to buy the
Honor and he left for his destina
tion next day, with Salvito a pas
senger in the car. Ihey arrived at
the -Missouri town at 9 o'clock in
the morning and Salvito, bidding
Finsod eood-bye, went on to Kan
sas City.
Whisky Hidden in Cellar.
H Finsod loaded the car with 375
quarts of whisky and all Went well
on the return trip until he came to
Plattsmouth. It was raining at the
time and the roads were slippery.
On the outskirts of the city the car
slipped and skidded, going off the
road. In trying to get the machine
fcack on the highway the gasoline
tank was punctured and the driver
V arranged with Ed Mason, owner of
a garage at f lattsmoutn, ana vj.
Newton, the latter's employe, to
keep him for a day or, two while
the ear was being repaired.
When the accident occurred some
iof the bottles of liquor were broken
and there was a strong ordor' eman
atin from the machine which at
traded the attention of Sheriff
; Quinton, who had heard of the ac
cident and had come to investigate.
BeforeMhe arrival of the .othcer,
however, finsod had arranged with
the flrarasre men to hide the whisky
contained in the unbroken bottles
in a cellar. They were later taken
. from there and concealed in a hay
tack. i
I Car is Confiscated
Sheriff Quinton, with pieces of the
troken jflass and the strong odor of
whisky as evidence, confiscated tne
ear and orocured the arrest of Fin
sod, Mason and O. Newton, the
employe.
Finsod was tried fflr illegal pos
session, and Mason and Newton tor
the aidine and abetting of the crime,
and all three were found guilty and
were fined $100 and tosts apiece.
The car was confiscated, but be
fore it could be sold, the Jones
Kamoton ' Cadillac company of
" Omaha, put in a claim for the car
claiming it held a mortgage of
$2,300 on the machine. The court
held the mortgage was not a lien as
the car was subject to the state pro
hibitory law, and an appeal -was
takes to Nebraska supreme court,
where the case is still pending.
; Finsod Made Goat
la the meantime Finsod felt
aggrieved because he alleged Ford
ana Salvito had failed to come to
his relief and pay the fine and
costs incurred by his arrest and trial,
; and had also failed to compensate
him for the trip.
Finsod also has been named in
1 the same indictment.
William Tighe, a well known
character of Omaha, also is named
in the indictment as a co-conspirator
in the case, and a warrant also
was issued for his arrest.
Tighe got wind of the matter and,
when the officers went to arrest
him, they could not find him in his
. usual haunts.
. Heavy Run of Range Cattle;
Feeders in Good Demand
Owing to high prices, the run of
'range cattle to the Omaha market
has been the heaviest in years, but
in the opinion of the railroad freight
men, it is pretty well over for the
season. In the far west there is
still a considerable quantity of stuff
to come to market, but the best of
it has been shipped.
, 1 All through Nebraska and the
west, owing to seasonable rains the
range has been and still continues
in prime condition, affording au
abundance of feed.
At this time there are a large
number of feeders coining out of
the range country of Nebraska and
"Wyoming and going into the feed
!ots. The number, however, it is
not believed will be anything like
that of former years, owing to the
high price of corn.
; In former years southern Aeoras
ka has been the winter feeding
ground for thousands of steers, but
thia yr owing to the partial laii
nre of the corn crop south of the
Platte, the cattle are going into the
northern part' of the state, where
the crop was close to the humper
variety. ,

The Bee's
Free Shoe Fund
To Buy Shoes '
For Shoeless Children
The Bee' Free Shoe fund begins
with a flying start. Even the chil
dren want to help, that Omaha's lit
tle ones may be kept in school.
One check is accompanied by a note
which reads:
"Little Jack says having cold feet
with snow on the ground is not any
fun. Can't we dig up just a little to
keep some little fellow'a feet warm?
So here is a small check."
With another contribution comes
the wish: "Hoping not one child
will be shoeless."
Money received in this fund will
be used to buy shoes and shoes
only, by a committee of school prin
cipals and teachers. Not a cent will
go toward administration to lessen
the amount given for the children
whose parents are unable to keep
their little feet dry shod.
Here are the first contributions:
The Bee $5.00
E. E. Bruce 5.00
E. F. 3.00
Jack's Grandpa 2.50
Irs. C. E. Campbell 2.00
In the current issue of the Na
tional Underwriter, an insurance
publication, printed at Chicago, is
an item to the effect that C. W.
Shaffer, vice president of the Lion
Bonding company, of Omaha, and
manager of the northwestern office
of the company, with headquarters
at Minneapolis, had resigned.
Mr. Shaffer, who was formerly
secretary of the company, and who
was promoted some time ago, with
a salary of $5,000 per year, is now in
the city. To a Bee reporter he
stated he was still vice president of
the company and manager of the
northwestern branch nd that he
had not resigned. He would give
no further information.
E. H. Luikhart, vice president of
the company, in an interview to
day stated Mr. Shaffer was no
longer connected with the com
pany.
Did he tender a formal resigna
tion?" was the question put by the
reporter.
' All I have to say, responded Mr.
Luikhart, "is that he is no longer
with the company."
Difference of Opinion.
There seems to be a contention
between the two men, Shaffer in
sisting he is still an officer of the
company, and Luikhart insisting he
is out.
If Mr. Luikhart is right, the or
ganization once known as the
"Lion's Heads" and which has since
evoluted into a body known as the
"Lion's , Tails," has a new recruit.
About January 17, of the present
vear, it is alleged, rred Volpp,
banker at Scribner, Phil Kohl and
E. H. Luikhart purchased enough
stock in the Lion bonding company
to acquire the controlling interest
At the tunc they took the com
pany over the capital stock of the
concern w:as about $252,000. Henry
Haubens was president of the com
pany at the time and one of the
large stockholders. It is said that
the new triumvirate at the time no
tified Haubens they had the con
trolling interest and would take !
over the management.
Haubens rebelled against the ar
rangemcnt and refused to exercisi
the power vested in, him as presi t
dent to call a meeting of the direc i
tors or stockholders of the organ' U
ization until the three men pur i!
ased his stock, which thev fin if
ally agreed to do, and he was paid
at the rate of $170 per share for his
holdings.
Increased Capital Stock.
vvim nauuens out ot tne wav the,
new officers at once increased the !
capital stock of the company to
$1,000,000, which was put on the
market and oold on the basis of
$200 per share. About $350,000 was '
disposed of in the selling campaign
that followed.
C. G. Brown was brought here
from the Pacific coast and was made
superintendent of agencies; Charles
W. Shaffer, vice president and man
ager of thte northwestern office at
Minneapolis, and Messrs. William E.
Taylor, Sam Kirk, Conger and Ed
Nicholas given important places in
the stock-selling organization that
was subsequently formed.
Brown organizeed these men into
what was known as the "Lions'
Heads," and because of their ex
pert knowledge and experience the
suborganization was virtually to
manage the business.
One by one, the unen claimed,
they were handed their "resigna
tions" and incontinently fired. They
then organized informally the
"Lion's Tails," and the similarity
of Shaffer's standing with the com
pany makes him eligible as a new
recruit.
CHAPTER III.
The Obedient Thunder.
(IVttsry. made smalf throurn a trick.
Is carried awav by Night Heron to the
den of the Witch ot the Night.)
riOME forward!" rasped a
harsh voice. Peggy obeyed,
straining her eyes to get a good lorfk
at the Witch. At that moment a
brilliant flash of lightning revealed
the creature in all her ugliness.
The Witch was a Bird, but of a
kind totally strange to Teggy. She
had a long, sharp beak, a snaky neck
and a large body. On her head and
covering her body were bristhmr
feathers, the effect being much like
that of an Indian in his war head
dress. From beneath the crest on
her head glittered beady, red eyes.
Around the Wittch was grouped
a somber assemblage of Birds
Night Heron and others of his kind,
as well as half a dozen-coal black
Ravens.
As the lightning flashed the Witch
spread wide her wings and
squawked:
V thunders roil I 1 command it.
As if in obedience there came a
long roll of thunder. The Night
Herons and Ravens salaamed .. low
before the Witch.
"O, powerful Witch of the .Night,
who makes the thunders obey, hail,
hail, hail!" The Witch fixed her
eyes upon Peggy in a crafty smirk,
as if to say: "See how wonderful I
am!"
"Why, what nonsense. You can't
make the thunder roll," Peggy burst
forth, indignant at this seeming
trick.
There came another flash of light
ning. "Thunders roll!" commanded the
Witch.
"Rumble-bumble-br r-r-r-r!" came
the answer from tlje sky.
"O, great Witch of the Night,
whom the thunder obeys! Hail!
Hail!" chorused the Birds. The
Witch's beady eves glittered at
Peggy. "It would have thundered
whether you told it to or not," de
clared Peggy.
"Thunders, rebuke this saucy
stranger!" shrieked the Witch, as
the lightning flashed once more.
"Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-rrunible bumble-r-r-r-r,"
roared the thunder louder
Peggy wondered if this strange
Bird really did have some mysteri
ous power over the storm. But her
father had told her that lightning
was just electricity, and that when
the electricity burned great holes
in the air the thunder was Caused
by other air rushing into the gaps
Confident in this knowledge, she
decided to put the Witch's powers
to a test.

YESTERDAY'S ANSWER
Riaht side Sown at left shoulder.
THUNDERS ROLL. I COM
MAND IT!"
"Oh, look, look, look!" sue cried
excitedly, pointing into the dark
ness behind the Witch. Alarmed.
theAVitch whirled around, while all
her court craned their necks trying
to see what Peggy was pointing at.
Meanwhile Peggy had her own eyes
on the sky. In a moment there
came a great flash. The Witch
was so busy worrying over Peggy's
sudden a'arm that she didn't see it.
Here was Peggy's chance.
"Roll, thunder, roll, and tell the
world that the Witch is a big fib
ber!" shrieked Peggy, so unexpect
edly that all the Birds whirled
around in startled confusion.
"Brum-um-nm-umbl cbankety-ur-ur-ur-ur-bum-bong
- bong-ur-ur-ur!"
roared the Thunder in t emphatic
obedience.
The Witch was so surprised that
she was speechless. The Night
Herons and Ravens . were amazed.
Ihey looked at Peggy in open
mouthed wonder. Then to her as
tonishment they salaamed before
her as they had before the Witch.
"Hail, hail, Wonderful Stranger,"
they croaked. "Hail to her who
makes the thunder obey."
The Witch was furious.
"You you you imposter," she
stuttered. "How dare you steal my
thunder?"
Peggy, vexed at the Witch's claim
to the thunder, answered with unin
tended slangy rudeness:
"Your thunder! Why, you're
loony."
The effeect of the word "loony"
upon the Witch was amazing. She
rosd, spread her wings, opened her
mouth and seemed about to dart
upon Peggy. She never noticed an
other flash in the sky. But Peggy
did. .
"Roll, thunder, and tell the world
the Witch is loony."
"Brung-ung - ro-ar-ar-ar - um-um-
um!" went the thunder.
"Hail, hail, Wonderful Stranger!"
lionised the Witch's followers.
"Who are you?" gasped the Witch
"Who are you who dajes use that
word to me?
"I am Princess Peggy of Bird-
'and," answered Peggy, drawing her
mit up proudly.
"Hail, Princess Pegsry," chorused
' e Birds, while the Witch's eyes
''ttered venomously.
"Ker-chug! Ker-chug!" sounded a
oarse voice from the scummy wa
fers. "Princess Peggy is in ,dan-
,t
?er.
"Princess Peggy is in danger,"
came a croak from farther away.
"Princess Peggy is in dange.'
from the distance.
Peggy felt hope as she caught the
message. It was the Frog -telegraph
passing the word along. Per
haps it would reach her friends and
bring help. .

fect that a laugh hen In the den of the

Sixteen Thousand Asked and
Items Bring to Light Series
of Very Interesting
Details.
Reverberations ot the famous
Oniaha-Chadron conspiracy case,
and of the more recent John C
! ynch ouster case, were heard in
he court house Tuesday morning,
hen John Ford and Peter Loch
nstituted actions against Lynch for
illeged unpaid debts.
This marks the parting of tin;
ways of three former associates in
political and other activities. Ford
claims Lynch owes him $2,965.
while Loch is suing for $13,24475.
Deals Exposed.
The items enumerated by Ford
and Loch cover a period from 1914
to 1918. Ford alleges that during
May, 1917, he paid to Detective Taui
B. Sutton, 'at the special instance
and request and upon Lynch's' ex
press direction," $165 and $100. He
further relates that on May 18, 1917,
he paid to Elsie Phelps $400, also
at the direction and request of
Lynch-
During the famous Chadron
"blow up" Detective Sutton and
Elsie Phelps, bath house sleuth,
broke into the limelight as the
nemesis of the Omaha Detective as
sociation, which Lynch was alleged
to have been trying to break up on
account of its activities in obtain
ing evidence against road houses in
which he was interested.
Ford, plaintiff of one of these
suits against Lynch, according to
ins own testimony in the Lynch
ouster case, was manager of the
Lakeside, referred to frequently in
the ouster suit brought by Sheriff
Clark against Lynch who was coun
ty commissioner. During that trial
Ford and Loch stood by Lynch.
Items Enumerated.
Loch's present bill of particulars
against Lynch enumerates many
items, beginning with June 1. 1914.
During 1915 Loch claims he paid to
Genevieve Felon an item of $500
He also states that he paid Lou
