binutions.
'Crowbar ycggnuMi" robbed three
jlarfs in Omaha Friday night and
one the night before.
Detective! who have been assigned
to the eases say their operations are
marked by the battering oi locks and
safe combinations witfi heavy crow
bars such as are used by railroad
section men.
With these, they say, the com
bination knob of a safe can be pried
out almost as easily as a carpet
tack can be pulled.
Get Cash and Stamps.
. The Heinz Pickle company branch,
301.? North Sixteenth street, and the
), . Twamley hay exchange, Four
teenth and Ward streets, were vic
tims of the yeggs Friday night.
A cabinet sale in the oftico of the
Heinz company was battered with a
crowbar, then blown open' with
nitroglycerin. The cracksmen ob
tained $50 in cash, and $3 worth of
.stamps. The crowbar burglars
gained entrance through a second
Uory door, after leaping across a
byway from the top of an adjoining
building. Bertillon Officer Eddie
.Duda obtained finger prints of the
.yeggs at the Heinz company office.
: Breaking their way into the Twam
Jey building, the crowbar burglars
hammered in the pinion of the eom
s bination on the safe, then opened the
heavy doors. Every desk in the place
: was ransacked. Papers were found
! scattered about the floor in front of
! the safe yesterday. Nothing but an
: overcoat was missing. ' .
r Just Another Overcoat.
Every office in the Omaha Hay
Exchange building, fourteenth and
! Nicholas streets, was ransacked by
I the crowbar burglars during ;!n
; night. Entrance was gained oy
breaking open a basement door.
Crowbars were used on the ottice
doors, the burglars first breaking in
to the office of C. M. Rice, general
manager.
ji The door into the office of F. A.
-Matthews, secretary, across the hall,
also was broken open. Three other
Offices in the building were ran
j sacked. Nothing of value was miss
ing from the building, but an over
coat belonging to Peter Murray,' a
'member of the exchange.
" Cracksmen stole $285 from a safe
in the Sanitary Wet Wash Laundry,
;2815 Farnatn street, Thursday night.
;,The yeggs used, nitroglycerin after
'moving the safe , into a closet and
; packing it tightly with laundry. De
' tectives believe the yeggs are out-of-
:ovn men.

"Stink Bombs"
Placed in Cars

Paengeri v Forced to Raise
"Window to Rid, Trolleys of
Fumes Cold Weather ,
Cut Picketed.
"Stink bombs" made their appear
ance for the first time in the pack
ing house workers' strike yester
day, when they were reported placed
in street cars carrying packing
house employes.
The first was found in a Cross
town car. it is said, by a man who
boarded the car at N street. Three
West Q street cars were made al
most untenable by the smell which
arose from the bombs. By opening
all the windows the passengers were
able to get enough air to continue
their journey.
No Arrests Made.
Outside of this the strike situation
was extremely quiet. Not a single
arrest was made in' connection with
the strike Friday night.
Bricks were hurted at the home of
Nick Fuller, 4920 South Twenty
third street, Friday night. Nick was
a striker up until Friday, when he
returned to his job at Swift's.
The cold weather had a noticeable
effect on the strikers' picket lines
about the packing houses, which
were much thinner than they were
during the mild weather.
