Geo. Herald Arrested x
.on Charge of Robbing
Ashland Man, Nov. 26
George Herald was arrested Tues
day morning and charged with rob
bery. ;
On the evening of November 26,
Pharis Saunders, a stockman of
Ashland, Neb., was knocked down.
and robbed of $250. Saunders f
claims Herald was his assailant.
Saunders said he met Herald at
Twenty-sixth and O streets in a
car with two other men. They in
vited him to ride to Omaha with
them. On the way all four got out
of the car to attend to some slight
engine trouble. Saunders alleges
Herald knocked him down and
robbed him of $250, missing $500 in
i shirt pocket. Later Saunders
managed to get to a drug store
where he was given first aid.
Herald says Saunders lost his
money gambling in a certain place
which he will locate in the hearing
and that Saunders invented the
story. Herald said he had witnesses
that could exonerate him, of the
charge.
Stock Yards Head Finds
Many Changes in East
Everett Buckingham, general
manager of the Union Stock Yards
Co., has returned from a two weeks'
visit in. the east, where he went to
see his two sons, who are stationed
in eastern camps. In speaking of
conditions in the east, Mr. Bucking
ham said:
"One thing that struck me very
forcibly was the full realization on
vthe nart of business men that the
war has brought about a readjust
ment of the business of the country.
There is a revolution going on in
Europe, and while there will be no
revolution in this country, there will
undoubtedly by many changes.
"The disposition on the part of
the big interests seemed to be that
it was - their duty to work along
with instead of counter to the new
trend of thought and business men
are inclined to accept the altered
situation and adjust their operations
accordingly."
Chicago Places Embargo
on Hogs Until Thursday
An embargo has been placed on
hogs from outside points by the
Union Stock Yards of Chicago, be
cause of the large supply which is
on hand. This means that no ship
ments will be received from other
cities, such as Sioux City, St Paul
or St. Joseph until Thursday. Chi
cago will take care of the hogs from
its immediate territory.
Omaha receved 20,000 hogs Tues
day morning, which is about all
that can be handled in a day with
the street car strike now on, which
causes many of the employes to be
late to work.
R. C, Howe, general manager of
the Amour & Co. plant at Omaha,
says that Omaha is able to take care
of all the hogs coming in from this
territory at the present time.
Will Expend $250,000 for
v Stock Yards Improvement
Improvements, including unload
ing chutes, platforms and pens, to
be built at a cost of $250,000, were
luthorized at the annual meeting of
the Union Stock Yards company.
No action was taken on the con
itruction of a new exchange build
ing. The personnel of the management
(.-ill remain the same as last year.
Everett Buckingham will be vice
J resident and general, manager, R.
. Dunham, president; J. C Sharp,
secretary and treasurer, and M. S.
Shawcross assistant to Mr. Sharp.

THE noteworthy point about D.
W. Griffith's produ ct i o n,
"Hearts of the World," aside
from its gigantic scale, is its in
timate detail. It often takes more
than one seeing to demonstrate the
extent of it, but part of its artistry
is its unobstrusiveness. The little
fellow who amuses himself
playing shoe-shiner while his hero
reads one of his poems; the little
game of hand slapping in the cor
ner; in which the little fellow gets it
no matter who misses; the mouse
that goes exploring under the nose
of the sleeping poilu all these little
touches stamp a Griffith play as
something more than merely satis
fying the great American demand
for size. "Hearts of the World"
will be shown at the Brandeis twice
daily except Thursday evening, De
cember 12.
The run of "A, Little Mother to
Be" closes at the Boyd with two
performances today. It is a pleas
ant little comedy drama, with quite
a well developed heart interest story
running through it. ,
Charlotte Greenwood, she of the
eird limbs and the grotesque smile,
who can stand still and make you
laugh, is coming back at the head of
"So Long, Letty," the bright musi
cal comedy in which she has made
such a success. Her stay at the
Boyd, which is limited to three
nights and a matinee, begins on
Thursday evening. With her is a
company of the kind Oliver Mo
rosco always sends out.

SUSPICIONS OF.
AUTOIST CAUSE
ARREST OF YOUTH
W. McKenna Held on Charge
of Wholesale Thefts;
Taken by Police for
Investigation.
The acute suspicions of C. W. Fry
of Council Bluffs, caused the arrest
of William- McKenna, a youth of
unsavory police record, who is await
ing trial in the district court on
charges of wholesale autoinol.ile
thefts, and who is now out on $1,500
bond.
According to Fry, while he was
driving his car around the city Tues
day morning McKenna and a com
pa....i followed him persistently, as
he thought, with a view of stealing
his car.
He led the couple a chase and
finally eluded then and went to the
Brandeis building where he asked
the advice of B. Stevenson, a friend
who has an office there.
Stevenson counseled him to relate
his experience to the police which he
did and described the two men.
In the afternoon McKenna was
arrested on an investigation charge
and Fry and Stevencon were sent
for. They identified the prisoner
positively as one of the two men
who had followed Fry during the
morning.

corresponding month of last year,
and $125,4J2,953 for the same month
