BURGLAR FLEES
WHEN OUTCRY IS
MADE BY NURSES
", - . : -
Thirty Screams From Thirty
Throats Put. Speed Into
" Heels of Thief In Hos- '
' pital Home.
Thirty nurses routed a burglar by
their screams eariy yesterday morn
jiljj in the nurses' home of St. Cath
erines hospital, 1505 South Eighth
street. The nurses live in the old
Joseph Barker home.
Miss Catherine Geanlevy awoke
early yesterday morning to find a
man sitting on the edge of her bed,
with his arm over her head, attempt
ing to remove the wrist watch from
her rist.
As she stirred and slowly roused,
he seized her and, choking her, said:
"If you scream I'll shoot."
"What can you want in a nurses'
home?" she asked him. -"Surely
you must know that nurses have no
.money? Please give me back my
wrist watch. It can't get you much
money, and it means so much to
me."
Yields to Pleading.
The burglar, who had evidently
jimmied the window in her room to
gain entrance to the home, seemed
to yield to her pleading and finally
capitulSled by giving back the watch
and going out the door of her room.
Meanwhile, Regina Walsh, on the
second oor, had been awakened by
the commotion in the roorft down'
stairs.
" Because another burgjar had en
tered the home a week ago last
night, the nurses had all been ex
pecting a return visit from him, and
Miss vValsb immediately thought of
burglars. '
Creeps to Rpom.
She crept quietly from her room
to the stairway and descending the
steps far enough to be able to reach
the telephone on a table in the lower
hall, leaned over the banister ,to get
the telephone and call police. v
i But in her nervousness, instead of
seizing the phone, she knocked it
from the table to the floor.
The burglar by this time had
reached the room in which four
nurses were asleep: Miss Catherine
Pritchard, Miss . Mary Mulcahy,
Alice Kernan and Miss Margaret
Harley.
As he entered their room the tele
phone in the hall crashed to the
floor.
Screams Rent Air.
Thirty screams rent tlfe air as 30
nurses were rudelv roused from their
slumbers by the crash. Their first
thought wis burglars.
And the present burglar's first
thought was evidently escape, for
simultaneousIywUh the 30 screams
he dashed through Miss Geanlevy s
room to the open Window, out on
the lawn and away. ,
Th. nnrs all exolained that their
sudden screams were not the result
of fear, but the release or meir pent
up nerves for the week following the
visit of the burglar last nday
night. . ' . . .
At that time a man broke into the
home and, .when caught prowling
about, told the nurses he was being
pursued and asked that they allow
him to hide behind one of their
doors. "
He, too, escaped, however, wen
they talked of calling police. "
Removes Her ings.
Since that time the nurses have
been expecting another visit, and
m; Elsie Stolberk. each evening,
removed the rings from her fingers
and put them on her toes as she
retired. "
When last night's burglar escaped
out the window the nurses called the
police, who at once scoured the
neighborhood for suspicious charac
They arrested nor one, but when
the detectives returned to Central
headquarters, a man giving his name
as Louis Schmit, and saying that he
had just arrived in Omaha from
Lincoln, asked for a bed at the po
lice station. . .
Held as Suspect.
Detectives at . once stated they
believed he answered the description
given by the nurses of their latest
burglar. .
Schmit was arrested tor vagrancy
and investigation, and given the
bed he had requested.
Later yesterday morning, Ischmit
was taken by police to the nurses'
home, where he was marched in re.
view before the 30 nurses.
All -stated that he was not the man
who had caused the disturbance in
their home.,
But Schmit is being held on -the
vagrancy charge, anyway.
Discovers Litter of Eight
Wolf Cubs on Missouri Farm
Greenridge, Mo., May -15. While
walking through a patch of timber
on his farm near here the other day,
James Caldwell was. startled by
whines that seemed to come from
beneath his feet. -
After a snor.t hunt Caldwell dis-.
covered a wolf's den containing
eight cubs. At the office of the
county cleric Caldwell received $3
each for the cubs' scalps.
