POLICE ROUND UP ALLEGED BURGLARS
Two Men Accused of Robbing Geneva Home Caught With Goods
Geneva - July 5 - The residence of William DELAMARTER
was entered by burglars at an early hour this morning. Mr. DELAMARTER was awakened at 2 o'clock by
the sound of some one down stairs, but did not think that the house was being
burglarized. A short time after she went down stairs and found the back door open, the window screen cut out and the window raised. She examined the room
and found things in disorder and a silver watch and $2 gone.
This morning the police were notified and Chief KANE sent Policemen HAWKINS
and KINNEY on the case. About 9 o'clock HAWKINS got a line on a man who was
trying to dispose of a meerschaum pipe in the McAuliffe saloon on Exchange
street. Policeman KINNEY who was working the case farther down the street
discovered a suspicious character in T. F. BRENNEN'S cafe near the Central
depot. The fellow was in the act of pouring out a drink when KINNEY entered
the place.
The policeman grabbed the bottle from his hand and immediately put the irons on his wrists before the fellow knew what was going on. He attempted to put
up a fight but the arrival of HAWKINS soon put that idea from his mind. He
did, however, make resistance and it was necessary for the policemen to drag him part way to the station, where he gave his name as
Ryan.
When searched the watch which was stolen from the DELAMARTER home was found
on him, also a dozen silver spoons, a berry spoon, a clinical thermometer and several other articles. The man was locked up pending further investigation.

DOG CATCHER ON A VACATION
Geneva - Feb. 19 - For the next month the untagged dogs of the city will have
free access to the streets and back yards of the city, for the reason that Dog Catcher HART left to-day for a month's vacation. Officer HART stated
before leaving that the dog owners have been either keeping their pets at home or else most of the dogs of the city have been tagged, for those without
the license tag have been extremely scarce during the past two weeks and as a result he decided to take a vacation.
Mr. HART said that this does not mean that he has suspended operations for the season, but he intends to return
when least expected. So far this season 860 tags have been sold, while last year, 480 were sold.

+ From Private Citizen to Acting Major in a
Year
Young Geneva Athlete is Appointed to Command of Student
Corps. (photo of Captain W. P.
Loman)
Geneva, Sept. 24 - An illustration of perseverance, coupled with a natural
ability in making a commissioned officer out of a private citizen in about
a year, is exemplified in the work of William P. LOMAN,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick LOMAN, of No. 311
Pulteney street, who has received the commission of captain and has been
appointed an active major. Captain LOMAN is a
brother of William LOMAN, athletic director of
Hobart College, and his father has been janitor at Hobart College for many
years.
Captain LOMAN is an athlete and was one of the
leading athletes while a student at St. Francis De Sales and the Geneva high
schools, and after
leaving school took up wrestling. On numerous occasions at carnivals and
exhibitions he would bob up from the audience and take a fall out of the
champion wrestler, who would happen to be traveling with that particular
company. He was a member of Company B and went to the border. There he earned
the distinction of being one of the best soldiers in the command.
When Company B went into the National army Captain
LOMAN, who was married, was discharged on that account. After several
attempts to get into the service he secured an appointment to the
officers' training camp at Fort Niagara. At Fort Niagara he also won the
distinction of being the most proficient in the bayonet exercise of any at
the camp and was instructor in that art. He was commissioned first
lieutenant last December and was assigned to Camp Upton, where he was placed in
command of the 127th Company as acting captain. July last he was
sent to New York city to attend the training school of the United States
army detachment. He was recommended for a captaincy on July 5th.
Captain LOMAN was home on a brief furlough
recently. Captain LOMAN was on his way to Delaware,
Ohio, where he is an instructor at the Wesleyan University, in charge of
2,000 men. He will have full command and will rank as a major.
