Omaha has
becoming the "dream city" of Robert
I,. Jenkinson, y outhful minister and
financier, according to a letter from
Long I 'inc. Neb., and signed T. E.
O'Hrien received yesterday by The
Bee.
The letter scathingly denounces the
efforts of former roomers at Jenkin
sou's co-operative rooming house
brie to recover alleged debts, and
.ills attention to Jenkinsou's last
vi-.it here, when he "came forward
with nohle enthusiasm and makes
koihI to them financially for amounts
lot in their brainless flights."
"And let me say," continues the
writer, "that Robert is much more
likely to build the city of his dreams
which will indeed be a dream city
in some other part of Nebraska."
"Dream City Is Right."
"A dream citv is tight." was the
disgusted exclamation of Miss Let ha
Stalcup, Jenkinsou's former secre
tary here, when fIic was told the
contents of the letter.
"Jenkinson owes the almost $J.00U.
When I read in the paper last week
he had returned hud was going to
pay his creditors I made an appoint
ment with him.
"When 1 "met him he said he
v wouldn't pay me unless I could
show him stock for the amount in
the United Shale Products com
pany which he was promoting here.

rite Re couldn't find it.
. "1 wasted the entire, morning try
ing to get liitn to pay me. I called
my father, who is a farmer, by long
, distance . telephone and father said
,, he had Jenkinsou's personal note
for the amount. But before father
could get here Jenkinson had left.
"I believe the stock of a lot of
Omaha boys who put money into
Jenkinsou's enterprise is in that
safety box, but Jenkinson is gone
and there isn't any key."
Might OpVn It.
Officials of the bank said if neces
sary the box would be bored open.
Miss Stalcup said her father had
given the money up as lost, but that
she was determined to have another
try at getting it if she can locate
Jenkinson.
"Father loaned Jenkinson the
money through my brother and me,"
said Miss Stalcup, who is young aim
pretty. "Jenkinson didn't have a
cent when he came here until we
- loaned it to him. I worked as his
secretary for a month or two, until I
- - got so tired of hearing him rave
about -his co-operative rooming
house and his oil 'shale stock I
couldn't stand it any longer."

Florence at the death of their father.
Farm life held no lure for F. H.
or C. E. Davis. ' '
So they sold their shares to David,
who laughingly told them he'd give
them their share of oil, anyway, if
any were ever found on .the farm.
A year later T. H. Davis assumed
the crown as ruling' king and chef of
the kitchen at the Burlington hotel
in Oxford.
And for the next 32 years, he ruled
the destinies of sirloin steak with'

carving knife. ,
But last week,, the glad tidings
were spread. '
He got a letter from his brother

til Old Sol Warms
Chilled Buds.
Fruit CNpcrts will venture no guess
as to the extent of. damage done by
Sunday's frost until after the sun
has warmed the .chilled buds.
"If the sun shines warmly enough
today we can tell by Tuesday noon,"
said N. H. Nelson, president of the
Omaha Fruit Growers' association.
"If the heart of the buds are black,
the fruit crop is killed. If they're
green, the crop is saved."
But it does no good tq, open the
buds today for experiment because
they are frozen hard. The frost must
first be drawn out by the sun's rays
before the experts can tetl.
Cherries, plums and peaches are
the only fruit endangered, according
to Nelson, because they are the earl
iest. Grapes and -later summer fruits
were not harmco, Jiesaid.
Here's a word from the' weather
man, who predicts: "Fair tonight
and Tuesday with rising tempera
ture." .
Lowest temperature in Omaha to
day was 14 above at 6 this morning.
North Platte registered IS above at
the same hour.
The sleet, snow and heavv wind
which marked the western Nebras
ka blizzard Saturday night did $30,

between Sidney and Ogallala, ac
cording to early estimates by the

pany today. More than 1,000 tele
phone poles between those Uro
points were torn down by. the bliz
