Charles Forstoer, employed at the Unlon Pacific frelght office, had an exciting experi- ence with two of the plain clothes officers of the police force late Wednesday night. The officers mistook him for a burglar, while, on the other hand, Forstner was un- der the impression that the officers were bold-up artists. Bhortly before midnight a prominent cithy sen of the Foutth ward telephoned to the police station that a suspicious character was hanging around the neighborbood. De- tective Callaghan and Night Sergesnt Whit- taker were detalled to corral the supposed crook. Forstner, who had been visiting down town, was on his way hame with § little dog of which he had been made & present under his arm, when he was spied by the two, sleuths. They at once made up their minds he was the crook they were after and to corral him.. Reaching the YIli- Beis Central freight depot on First avenue They took oposite sides of the streot. Forstner happened to turn around and in the darkness noticed two men with revelvers in their hands bearing down on &im. He at once jumped. to the conclusion that he was about to be held up and started to run. The officers called on him to halt, B8k in the excitement of the moment forgot % snnounce that they were officers of the aw. The sight of the revolvers gave wings te Forstoer's feet and he sprinted down the avenue faster than he ever ran before. Sergeant Whittaker commenced to shoot. only made Forstner run the faster and drop the pup he was carrylng. Detective | allaghan, whe in his early days was & well known sprinter, kept on after the fleeing men and scon overtook him, ouly to find that he was & citizen well known to him. ; Puck's Domestic soap 1s best. v"‘mmmhmlfl lausdry. ——— i Use any soap so s Puck's soap. o circumatances entirely be- control, and upon the loll:l- pur friends and patrons, wi luded to eontlnua in lhe usiness in our present loca- Broad: 3 s place elsgant dssortment o up-to-date goods.

PASSWORD NECESSARY TO GET THROUGH Company Says It is Necessary to Pro- teet Property and Workmen and Strikers Say It is to Keep Men from Leaving. The Unfon Pacific has wseveral armed guards patrolling its shops and yards at the transter depot day and night and it is now impossible for a stranger to approach witbin 500 yards of the shops without belng chal- lenged. A password has been established and unless this can be given the armed guards refuse to allow the person to pas: While at the transfer debot it is agserted that these armed guards are being main- tained to protect the men who have taken the places of the striking employes and to prevent the strikers from doing any dam- age to the cars and engines ii the yards, it is claimed by the strikers that the guards have been placed thore for the express pur- pose of preventing them approaching the men working to induce them to leave their work. The strikers further claim that the guards are not needed, as there is no in- tention to attemp: to harm any of the prop- erty of the rallroad company. Yestegday the pickets of the strikers claimed that several of the guards had quit their jobs when they learned for what purpose they had been engaged.

TO DRAIN IOWA LOWLANDS Plan Contemplates the Digging of a Canal in Harrison County to 'MISSOURI VALLEY, Ia., July 24.—(Spe- cial.)—Plans are being considered for draining the lowlands in the western part ot Harrlson county, and if the wishes of the landowners are carried out a large canal will be bullt which will empty into the Missouri river. A ‘drainage meeting will be held in this city on Wednesday, July 30, at which time the supervisors of Pottawattamie and Harrieon countles will be present.

At present the supply of hard coal in Couneil Bluffs does not ex- ceed 160 tons and that is what was left over from last winter. To discuss ways and means to seure an ample supply the local retall dealers met Wednesday night at the office of the Carbon Coal company. This was said to be the only matter discussed st the meeting and that thé price to b charged this winter did not enter into the delfberations at all. No definite action was taken beyond deciding to make a united effort to secure a full share of antlracite for this eity. In talking about the meeting yesterday a member of one of the local coal firms sald: ““The present’ outlook for securing a suffi- clent supply of hard coal for Council Bluffs this fyll {s most dublous and it is very likely that if the strike is prolonged much longer Council Bluffts, well as other cities in the west, will experience a verita- ble bard coal famine this year. No matter what happens, the price i bound to go up |M! and hard coal will be considersble of a luxury, it obtainable at all. ditions existing at present I do not see how hard coal will be sold this winter for less | o¢ than 310 a ton, and it would mot surpriso me & bit tg see it go much higher. The praspect all around is not inviting." Davis s ‘paints.
