Sheep and Cattle Receipts
Break All Records' for
Week at South Side
Stock Yards.
Livt stock commission men are
wearing broad smiles over the big
business at the yards during the
past week. The week's totals of
cattle and sheep broke all records.
Monday's total of cattle set the
high mark for the year; Monday's
sheep and total receipts grazed the
yard records and E. E. Grimes,
joint agent of the railroads, con
cluded the week with the promise
of a record-smashing day Monday,
when more than 1,000 cars are ex
pected. Sheep continue to come heavily
to the market because of drouth
and lack Of feed. This week's re
ceipts were 187.334 head, as oo-
josed to ioi,W head, the record
ast week. For the corresponding
week last year receiDts of sheen
were 123,617 head. The gain over
the same number of days last year
is 351,737.
Cattle totalled 52,121 head this
week as against 34,766 head last
week, and 27,284 head lasyear this
week. A decline of from 50 cents
to $1 marked the close of the week.
Cattle still show a decrease. The
loss at the end of last week was
only 124,555 head, as compared with
the decrease of 148,977 last week.
Seventy Union Men
at Armour's Plant
Quit Work in Body
Seventy union men in the Armour
sheep-killing gang drew their pay
Saturday and left in a body when
the discharge of two nonunion men
was refused.
"We have two men wh would
not join the union, and under our
government agreement we couldn't
discharge them when we were asked
by Jacob Davis, business manager
of the union, to do so," stated J. E.
Stotler, superintendent of the sheep
department. "At 7:30 they refused
to work. Then they got their pay
and left."
Union men assert that it is a lock
out and not a strike.
"They have had two men there
that have been running down the
union and insulting the union men,"
stated Jacob Davis. "Under the
Alschuler agreemnet discrimination
against union men is forbidden. We
protested' and they told the gang
that they didn't want any more un
ion labor than they could help and
told the men to get their pay."
After leaving the plant the men
assembled in the.JJutcher Workmen
hall, Twenty-fourth and O streets,
and decided not to return to work
individually,
'Union men assert that the two
nonunion men were put into the
gang to persuade new employes not
to join the union. Superintendent
Stotler denies this and states that
the union men have been causing
the trouble.
No attempt to arrange a hearing
has . been made. Most of the strike
ers are negroes.

Box M-38, Bee,
The morals squad either did not
want Roy Kelley, the youthful fugi
tive who has brought charges of
graft and other criminal practices
against certain members of the po
lice force or they were afraid to
pursue the 18-year-old boy into the
darkness of an alley near South
Twentieth and Dorcas streets early
yesterday morning, after they saw
him alight from an automobile car
rying two suit cases of whisky.
According to witneses, Sergeant
Thestrup, followed by Detectives
Herdzina, Armstrong and Craw
ford fired five shots at Kelley, when
the boy dropped the cases and dis
appeared in the mouth of an alley.
Kelley Didn't Return Fire.
Contrary to the statement given
out at the police station, Kelley did
not fire a shot at the policemen.
The officers ohased the boy for a half
block and Thestrup fired at him five
times. Thestrup's weapon was the
only one discharged during the short
race. The four husky policemen,
Commissioner Ringer's selected
and favored above all the members
of the department, ; halted at the
mouth of the alley in which the 18-year-old
youth plunged to escape
his pursuers. .
They either feared to meet Roy
Kelley, four full grown men to one
boy, in the dark alley, or they feared
what he would tell if they arrested
him, is the belief of the residents, in
the vicinity who witnessed the
affair. -
Kelley issued a statement a short
while ago over his signature charg
ing he had paid money to police
men on Douglas street bridge for
the privilege of bringing consign
ments of whiskey to Omaha. He
also charges that the raid on the
Brown apartments was a frameup
between detectives, Hardzina and
Armstrong and himself. This was
three months ago. Roy Kelley has
been in the city ever since, and some
of the members of the police depart
ment have been pretending to make
an effort to apprehend him. Al
though Chief Eberstein has issued a
general order demanding Kelly's ar
rest, he is still walking the streets.
Thestrup Fears "Bootleggers.
"The bootleggers are trying to
kill us policemen," Sergeant Thest
rup remarked when he returned to
the police automobile in front of the
soft drink saloon conducted by Elias
Genho, 2202 South Twentieth street.
"That fellow fired seven shots at us,
I emptied my gun, too, and I believe
I struck him."
Sergeant Thestrup did not ven
ture an explanation as to why he
and his men did not venture into the
dark alley after the fugitive.
Kelly just had stepped from an
automobile with two suit cases of
whisky when the chase began.
Edward Watson, a taxi driver liv
ing at the Harvard hotel, remained
seated in the car and was placed
under arrest on a charge of illegal
transportation of intoxicating liquor.
Statement of Citizen.
"I heard five Ishots and am pos
itive that no one shot at the police
men, who were in hiding when
Kelly and Watson drew up in the
automobile," declared W. H. Kess
ler, 2210 South Twentieth street.
"All of the shots came from one
revolver."
Other witnesses declared they saw
Thestrup aim and fire several times
at the fugitive.
Despite Thestrup's declaration
that he believed he had wounded
Kelly, not one of the policemen
would follow the suggestion to ven
ture into the alley to investigate.
Roy Kelly was seen talking to
friends at noon yesterday on the cor
ner of Sixteenth and 'Farnam
streets. He was safe and sound
and joined in the hilarity of the
party as they laughed at the antics
of Traffic Officer Dudley.

Woman Sheep Buyer
Leaves Breeches at
Home on Buying Trig
Mixing with the men in the sheep
barn, Mrs. M. W. Slattery, the first
woman buyer on the local live stock
market, spent a profitable week buy
ing 17 double-deck - cars of feeder
sheep for a large live stock com
pany in North Dakota owned by her
father.
"I feel that I can do everything
except whistle," said Mrs. Slattery,
who is a brunette, about 35 yean
old, blue-eyed and jolly. "I gener
ally wear khaki breeches at home,
but I don't believe I will here.
"My father owns the Envilla stock
farm near Cogswell, N. D. I am his
partner. I used to make the deals
with the farmers for feeders while
my father bought them in Omaha.
This time he let me buy them.
"Yes, I love dogs," she said, look
ing at three fine collies she bought
during the week. "Father has
threatened to dissolve partnership if
I bring any more dogs home."
Mrs. Slattery spends her winters
in California after the sheep trading
season is over. She expects to be
back at the market soon.
