AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Mayor Trainor Says More Park Room is Needed by City. MANDAN PARK BEFORE COUNCIL Scare Given Officers of the Stock Yards National Bank When Explosion Was Reported— Magic City Gossip. The necessity for open spaces in the thickly populated districts of the city, where men can rest at the noon. hour and where the children can play, is engaging the attention of Mayor Trainor, who stated yesterday that he intends soon to bring the question before the city council. The conversation took place in connection with the proposed improvements at Mandan park, and the mayor commented on the fact that with the exception of the north end of the city all the parks were far removed from the people who were expected to enjoy their advantages. "We should have," he said. "some open space in the packing house district, which could be used by the men employed there and the children of the working classes residing in this locality. All the parks with the exception I have mentioned, are at the extreme ends of the city, and with regard to those in the north end anyone knows that the residents here cannot be said to belong to the classes most in need of some place for outdoor recreation. We want to have places where the children of the poorer classes of the community can play and where their fathers and mothers can come out in the evening and get refreshed after living the whole day in crowded homes." Action on Mandan Park. Some action, it is expected, will be taken tonight by the council in connection with Mandan park. A report was looked for last meeting from the committee that made an inspection of the park in view of the proposed improvements by the park board. The recommendation of the board is that $6,000 of the $15,000 bond issue be devoted to buying a portion of ground of P. H. Barrett, to provide an entrance to the grounds. His plot consists if a little over five acres, for which $5,000 is asked, and the remaining $1,000 will be expended in carrying out the work. The object of the appointment of the committee was to determine by personal inspection if this were the most feasible and least expensive way of getting an entrance to the park. Explosion Scare at Bank.' The officials of the Stock Yards National bank had a scare and a hurried run to the bank last night. Some people passing the building said that they heard two explosions, and that then the lights went out. The watchman found the lights out and informed the officials and the police. Captain Dworak and Officer Potach hastened to the place and, with the officials, made a thorough examination of the building, but could not discover anything to account for the supposed explosion or the lights being out. There was nothing to indicate that anyone had gained access to the bank, and when the lights were switched on again they burned as usual.
