Omaha, Neb. Feb. 22.—Following
a harangue at a mass meeting in
the city hall, in South Omaha, Sun
day afternoon, at which two mem

avenge the death of Patrolman Ed

killed Friday night by a Greek
whom he had placed under arrest.
Before their thirst for blood had

damaged and probably a score of
persons injured, half that number
seriously. By heroic work the police
have prevented actual loss of life.
