Death of Lumbard
Brings Poverty to
Widow of Brother
A single CO-ccnt piece Is the coin that,
stands between Mrs. Frank Lumbard and
absolute pcnnllessneas, according to word
from Chicago, her homo. This coin Is a
souvenir that Its owner, who Is the widow
of the elder of the two famed wartime
singers, Frank and Jules Lumbard, can
not spend.
Mrs. Lombard's mother was ono of the
moving spirits,, back In tho early 'EOs, In
tho establishment of the Chicago Homo
for tho Friendless. It now seems prob
able that the daughter will have to enter
a similar Institution.
The 60-cent pleco that Is Mrs. Lumbnrd's
entire capital Is not In the form of legal
tender. It was found on a battlefield of
the civil war. , .
When General Grant appeared 'in Chi
cago on his return from his trip -around
the world this coin was thrown onto the
stage of McVlcker's theater on the night
of his appcaranco there. It bears n. gold
scroll and- an Inscription, but it will not
buy the necessities of life for its 81-year-
old owner.
Mrs. Lumbard, who Is staying with
friends at 103 West Sixty-eighth street,
Chicago, until arrangements can be mode
for her future, has many wartime anec
dotes of Interest to tho few remaining
veterans.
The recent death of Jules Lumbard loft
the aged widow of his dead brother Frank
without any means of support. Jules
Lumbard was the recipient of a smalt
pension from the Pennsylvania railway.

In Looking for Pal
Brady Makes Mistake
Approaching Block Watchman PHgrlm
at Fourteenth and Farnam streets about
2 o'clock Friday morning Jnck Brady, a
well known polico character, told tho
officer In a hoarse whisper that ho know
wnere both could mako a "killing" by
breaking into a 'Jewelry store.
He said they could break In a rear win
doxy, obtain about JoO.OOO worth of dia
monds, and If they had time after they
had picked out, the best stones they could
bloW the safe and get equally as 'much
In money. ,
"And the best part of It Is tho block
watchman will never be able to detect
us," continued Brady,
Scores of Omaha business men ate be
ginning to bellevo that they have been
swindled out of $5,000 or more by a clover
gang of men who worked here for about
two months last spring. Tho extent of
the operations will never be known, bo
cause many of tho men who gave up
money to Mie gang urn reluctant to admit
that they have been token In.
-Of course It still remains to be, seen
whether or not tho operations amounted
toT a -swindle, yet practically all of the
men- who guvp tip checks ranging In
vuluc from SU.CO to .V feel certain tnat
they will never huvo value returned.
; Mstnlillxli nn Office.
Tho gaiue, If It were such, was worked
In the' mime of cartoonists employed on
tie 'Omaha dally papers. Tho men came
here In March of this year and fitted up
offices, at 415 McCagUo building. They
tlun went to the cartoonists and unfolded
a plan to' get out n book to bo known as
Omaha In Caricature." They offered
tho artists $3, 3 and M0 apiece to draw
tho.cnrlcatures, payment to bo made ao- I
cording to- tho value of the subject.
With this preliminary matter out of
the way they went forth and told of their
plan to get out "Omaha In Caricature,"
representing that it was to be published
by the "Omaha Cartoonists' Club," which
does not exist. In this manner they used
the names of the local artists, leading tho
business men to bellevo that they Wore
doing something for a home Institution.
The fnct Is that they used tho names of
tho local artists unauthorized.
Kach -of the business mon who took
space m.tho.book was told that It would
ue puousnea within ninety days, but
eight months have elapsed nnd still noth-
lug 1ms been heard of "Omaha tn Curl-
cature.." It may be published yet, but
no one seems willing to bellevo It.
lthlu'the last few weeks Don no Pow
ell of The Beo has received n nrnrn nf
letters from anxious patrons of tho
"Omaha In Caricature" nsklfag for In-
forlnntlon. Indicating that his nnme was
used freely In' the game. Mr. Powell
ras emphatic In saying that although ho
thought th'e scheme was legitimate at
first, .-after findlm: oilt thnt mi.r.n.
sentat'lons -were being mnde he severed
connections ahd had absolutely nothing
to d"ovlth' tiio' 'men.

Tho.jnenih.crp of the gang had .the np
pear.nncji of being young college men,
polished, mnoth and apparently of good
