Iilto by Sharp 1'ractico.
Complaint was filed in the police court

livery of the pony. She sent the pony
to Doyle , and ho sent back by the messenger

band. Accompanying the bill was a note
' which slated that the defendant had
bought the bill of Boohmo , and that ho

also requested her to pay the balance as
soon as possible.

sponsiblo for the payment of the bill , and
that ho docs not propose to have hii
client swindled out of her pony.

Statement of tlie "Waiters.
To the Editor of Tun BEE.
In the morning papers wo noticed
items concerning the recent troubles at
the Paxton dining rooms. In many par
ticulars the boys get the worst of it as
usual.
The truth is this. On Sunday the
would-be steward , dressed in brief au
thority , took it into his head to show
that he was present by paying off ono of
ttto waiters. This riled the boys , as It
took all government out of the head
waiter's hands and several quit , but the
head waiter persuaded thorn to return
and all wfcs smooth again. On Monday
the head waiter was taken sick and
had to return home during breakfast.
Of this the proprietors were fully ac
quainted , as ono of them excused him
On the back of this fact , when ho re
turned , prepared for duty at noon on
Wednesday , the dark hued steward , from
Missouri informed him that his services
were no longer needed , whereupon the
remainder of the crovr quit.
This is truth , and none concerned can
deny it successfully.

On Friday night last a chicken thief , evi

BARE KNUCKLES ,

The Flfrlit to T ko PlncoMny I'.tli.
Omaha has had ila full slmro ofrlmt -
oror enjoyment is to bo obtained from
contests between exports in "tho manly
art" of self-defense , and sooins to thirst
for moro.
The Hanloy-McOuno sparring cxhibi-
tion was the first to inaugurate n series
of contests which closed with the set-to
between Jnmcs Fell , of Rich Hill , Mo. ,
and O , II. Smith , of Chicago , the latter
fight taking place at the Academy of Mu
sic n week ago Saturday night.
The most interesting of the many
tatchcs in this vicinity , not barring those
arlicipatod in by Ryan , Elliott , SIndoor
face , was the bare knuckle fight bo-
.woon Miller and Smith which took place
dawn on n cold winter morning in
ilarch.
After Fell had his sot-to with Smith a
natch was made up between Fell and
nek Ilanloy , the latter coming in from
olorndo to test the prowess of the
hampion middle-weight of Lancashire ,
England , Fell wai oxpnctcd to arrive on
uesday , but was detained by another
ght down in Missouri , which ho wished
o attond. It was almost given up that
, o would come at all and a match between
mith and Ilanloy was buing talked of
lion last evening the Englishman put in
, n appearance , looking frcsli as a daisy
, nd anxious to go into training at once.
During the evening the details of the
ight were arranged , and the following
.rticlos were drawn up and signed :
OMAHA , Nob. , April 17,1881.
Wo , the uiulcratgnod , do hereby ngroo to

it Sam Gardner's road house , and
, ho day fixed for the fight gives both
non ample time to got in good condition
, nd the fight promises to bo a great ono.
\s sheriff Miller has announced his do-
rormination to stop any further bare
nucklo contests in his jurisdiction , it is
ikoly that a moro aocludod sport will bo
ihoson than before and that it will bo
utsidp of the county and beyond the
urisdiction of the officers of the law.

I'lio Legal Existence of the Itoard of
Public Works to bo Deter
mined by Mr , Fox.
Mr. James Fox , whoso bid on the
Farnam street curbing and guttering was
ho same as that of Hugh Murphy & Co. ,
has determined to bring suit and have
his rights determined in a judicial tri
bunal. This gentleman scorns very in
dignant and says ho will either have a
satisfactory decision or be beaten in the
attempt. Ho has employed Hon. J. 0.
'owin ' as his attorney [ in the caso. By
inquiry of this gentleman it was learned
that an injunction will bo apyliod for to
test this matter. It is proposed that
some tax-payer _ affected by those improve
ments shall file a petition setting up the
state of facts connected with the lott.ng
of the contract. In addition to this it
will bo averred that the board of public
works is not a legal body. The
position taken by Mr. Cowin is
that this body has boon legis
lated out of existence. Should the court
hold this to bo the case , all contracts en
tered into by it are null and void. The
city council , it is claimed , has no author
ity of itself to make contracts for citj
improvements. If these points are well
taken , it looks as if Omaha will not be
greatly improved for some timo.
Mr. Cowin had firstthought of bringing
a quo warranto against the board to determine -
tormino by what authority it oxorcisec
the functions it docs , but ho has finally
concluded to test the legality of thoboan'
of public works , and determine the au
thority of the city council in the inannei
before stated.

Fritz ilohanson , a fanner living about
cloven miles northwest of Omaha , con *
eluded yesterday , much against his will ,
that ho had boon made the victim of mis
placed confidence. It appears that on
Saturday lait ho sent his son , about 18
years old , and George Niobo , his hired
man , into the city to sell a span of
horses. The team was worth about
$200. Niobo and young Johanson were
ordered to sell thorn for not loss than
that amount.
At the barracks , on their way to the
city , the horses were sold for 350 each ,
ono of them being purchased
by a Mr. Englor , who
lives near the fort. Niohb and
Tohanson c.\mo on into the city , where
the lormor indulged too freely in the
flowing bowl. Niobo , who was in pos
session of the money , had young Johan-
songo homo , tolling him ho would stay
in the city until Sunday morning and
then return to his fathar's farm. Niobo
has not boon soon siuco. Mr. Johanson
continued to look for his return until
yesterday , when ho came to the city ,
and learned that his hired man had
crossed the Missouri into Iowa. Legal
opinion was consulted by Johanson ,
and ho was advised to bring an action of
replevin against Englor for the posses
sion of ono of the horses. The second
animal ho has boon unable to find. Mr.
Johanson will bo remembered as being
'ho plaintiff in the case of Johanson
gainst lianson , tried at the last term of
ho district court , wherein ho sued as
uardian for his minor child for personal
ijurios to her by reason of being turned
ut of doors on a cold winter night , and
ecoyerod § 200 as damage therefor.
Niobo is described as being a young
orman ; 10 years of ago , five feat six

On the 10th day of last December a
omplaintwas filed by the city marshal
Jamen Ilasmusson , who keeps a
airy on Twenty-fourth street , near St.
lary's avenue , charging him with keeping
, nd maintaining a nuisance. This com-
ilaint was made out by the
olicitatious of Rasmusson's neigh-
ors , who doomed the nuisance
.Irnost intolerable. The defendant
came into court , and City Attorney Con-
icll was called in to prosecute the case
or the city. Mr. Conuoll , knowing the
iircumstances , advised the court to give
the defendant time to abate the offense
with which ho was charged. The case
was continued from time to time , until
yesterday it came for hearing before the
udgo. Rasmusson stated ho had tried
o abate the nuisance and had removed a
great amount of the offensive material
causing it. The judge stated before ho
would pass upon the question , ho would
take an actual view of the promises. Last
ivening , accompanied by Marshal Guth-
io , ho wont out and saw Rasmusson's
jlaco. Being convinced that a wrong
was being perpetrated on the people liv-
"ng in that iminodittto vicinity , ho ordered
; he nuisance abated. If it is not done by
Rasmusson , the city will BOO to it that It
's attended to.

MORMON MISSIONARIES ,
Two Carloads Pass ThroEli This Oily
EuRonteto Great Britain ,
Tlio Object ol the Visit to Olilnln New
Converts to tlioJIMormon Fnllli.
Yostordaymorning's train from the wo&t
had attached two extra cars which were
filled with Mormon missionaries on route to
England toprocuroconvorts to thoMormon
faith , and bring such converts back vrith
thorn upon their return voyage.
The party was composed of forty-two
men and ton women , making fifly-two in
all. Of this number sixteen were Mor
mons accompanying the missionaries on
a sight seeing tour.
A BKK reporter mot them at the Union
Pacific depot , and upon invitation of Mr.
\lbort Jones , the gentleman in charge of
the party , occupied a seat with that gen
tleman while the train crossed the bridge.
Mr. Jones said that the party was
made up of persons from all parts of the
territory , and that they loft Salt Lake
City Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock. Their
trip thus far has been a pleasant ono.
lip said that all but two of the mission
aries would go over to England. The
two , however , will remain in the eastern
states and do missionary work thoro.
In speaking of Mormonism in Utah ,
Mr. Jones naul that the church was con
stantly grow ing nnd converts were con
stantly being mado. Ho said that the
Mormons were breaking now grounds
all the while for agricultural purposes in
the mountain districts , and that they are
now cultivating land which the early settlers
tlors had declared unfit for cultivation ,
and that largo crops are being raised upon
said land.
The Mormorn nhurch now numbers
150,000 souls. In all Mormon settle
ments there are churches of other de
nominations , but Mr. Jones states that
they are making very little progress and
are converting very few people from the
Mormon ranks. The hardiest church
among the denominations is the Presby
terian. Mr. Jones stated that the Mor
mon missionaries do not make converts
so easily nowadays as they have hereto
fore. Upon being asked us to the class
of people generally obtained as converts
from England ho said that they were
principally from the middle classes.
Once in n while a rich man is in
duced to join the ranks and adopt the
Mormon religion and Utah for his homo.
Very few of the poorer classes are among
the converts.
Mr. Jones was asked for his views upon
polygamy. Ho said that the Mormons
and Mormon religion was just as much
opposed to polygamy as any ether people
or church , but they do not look upon a
man OB a polygannst because ho has two
or moro wives. "It is deceit , " said Mr.
Jones , "that makes polygamy. If a man
has two or moro wives and does not com
municate the fact to his first wife thonho
becomes a polygamist and is subject to
punishment under our laws. But if a
man Jias two or a dozen wives and the
fact is well known to his first , and in fact ,
all of his wives , then ho is not a poly
gamist. "
By this time the transfer was reached
and the reporter took his departure.
The party went east over the 0. &

HUNG AND SHOT ,
A. DOR Dies Wbilo Wntoliiug Hie
Master's Property.
A policeman yesterday tried to shoot t
dog which was watching a wagon or
Dbuplas street , in front ot Henry Bolln'i
store. Just before ho came up a boj
had boon teasing the dog by striking at
him with a whip. The poor brute wai
only doing his duty in watching hii
master's property , and the treatment enraged
raged him until ho was nearly wild. The
ollicor , probably supposing him tc
bo a dangerous dog , fired
four shots at him , witl
no effect beyond making him worse anc
attracting a crowd of several hundroc
persons about , at the imminent risk ol
getting a dose of lesd thomsolvos. Finall ]
a rope was sent for and the dog lassooc
and dragged to the jail yard by a coupli
of officers , who tied him up to a tree anc
finally dispatched him.
A casual passerby could scarcely tel
whether the dog had committed suicide
by hanging or boon murdered , but tin
above facts vroro related to a Br.u roporto

their shipments shall pass ; to the end
that shippers may avail themselves of all
rail or part rail and part water routes of
the country ; for the prevention of such
pDslinft arrangements and agreements to
refrain from such just competition as may
tend to impose unreasonable ) burdens -
dons upon such cnmmorco between -
twoon the states ; for the protection
of such commerce against unjust exac
tions based on classed securities , com
monly denominated "watered stocks" ;
and for the promotion of the true inter
ests of both the corporations employed
in such transportation and the people
and localities engaged in such commerce ,
by the enforcement of the principles
hereinbefore stated , and thereby induce
harmony nnd stability in the affair of
such corporations , people and localities.
At Wilson's request the resolution was
permitted to lie on the table , to bo called
up in a few days for reference to the
committee.
After passing a bill authorizing the
secretary of war to adjust and settle the
accounts for arms between South Carolina
lina and the federal government , the
senate also passed a bill to authorize and
diroec the managers of the horn a for dis
abled volunteer soldiers to locate a
branch homo at some suitable point , in
nithor the state of Arkansas , Colorado ,
Kansas , Iowa , Minnesota , Missouri or
Nebraska.
On motion of Mr. Conger ( rop. , Mich. )
the Mil was so amended as to require the
board of managers to enquire into the
expediency of establishing a branch homo
in Michigan. Twenty-five thousand dollars
lars was appropriated to carry out the
purposes of the bill.
Mr. Slater ( dom. , Ore. ) , according to
notice given some days since on present
ing the bill to forfeit the unearned laud
grants of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company , addressed the senate on the
motion to refer the bill to committee.
Ho reviewed the history of the land pol
icy of the government , and severely crit
icised the course of the land department.
Rofprrinc specifically to the Northern
Pacific railroad , Slater said that in the
lifetime of its grant that road had earned
10,000,000 acres , and since the terms of
the grant expired had earned 30,000,000
moro. Congress had boon most liberal
to that road. No corporation had boon
moro enriched by government.
In round numbers the corporation
had already received over § 11,000,000
from the sale of lands. In round num
bers it had earned lands amounting to
40,000,000 acres , which at the very low
est estimate will realize $100,000,000 and
its coal lands on the sound were so val
f uable that it would not soil them at an ;
prico. The company was not entitled to
any leniency it was simply entitled to
the letter of the law , and no more. Sla
ter said his bill sought only to forfeit
Innds adjacent to the uncompleted portion
tion of the road , not being able to satis
fy himself that any ether portion of the
lands were now within the reach of con
gressional legislation. Ho moved refer
ence of the bill to tlw committee on
public lands.
Mr. Dolph , ( rep. Or. ) , Asked that the
bill lie on the table a few days , to which
Slater assented.
The consideration of the bankruptcy
bill was then resumed , and amendments
offered by Messrs. George , ( dem. Miss. ) ,
Morgan , ( dem. Ala. ) , Wilsonrar > .Iowa ) ,
Hoar , ( rep , Mass ) and others.
Mr. Hoar and other senators were anx
ions to have the bill disposed of to-day ,
and are willing to sot latu to accomplish
that end , but it becoming manifest that
considerable dissension would nriso on
some amendments , the senate adjourned.
Among the amendments agreed to to-day
was ono proposed by Goorgo.rjiving debts
duo to laboring men and domestic ser
vants priority over debts duo to the
state or the United States.
HOUSE ,
After an hour of general debate , tha
bill was road by paragraphs for amend
ments.
Mr. Goll ( rop. , W. Va ) offered a proviso
vise that no proof shall bo required ,
either in pending capes or those hereafter
filed , as to the physical condition of the
soldier at the time no was mustered into
service , and all claims heretofore re
jected on account of lack of such proof
shall bo reheard.
Against this proviso Messrs Randall
( dem , Pa ) and Hammond ( dom. , Ga , )
raised points of order ,
In the course of the discussion Mr.
Rood ( rop. , Bio ) took occasion to express
hia contempt for the system of rules un
der which 'ho house was operating. Ho
said thnro were on the calendar 1,200
committee reports , and no buainets was
done except that , presided over by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania ( Randall ) ,
and ho , majestically situated as ho was ,
was not equal , oven with the assistance of
Holmsn , to the whole business of the
I country.
Mr. Randall said he desired to legislate
slowly on every appropiiation bill , pro
vided money was to bo saved , thereby.
The United States , ho might say , was
legislated to death. If there was an evil
in this country , it was too much legisla
tion.
tion.After
After further discussion , the amend
ment was ruled out of order.
Mr. Henderson ( rep. , IB. ) oflbred an
amendment increasing horn to 85 to $12
per ono hundred the vouchers allowance
to pension agents for vouchers prepared
and paid by them , in excess of 4,000 per
annum. Lpst ,
Mr. Iluuccck ( dem. , Tex , ) , in behalf
of the committee on appropriations ,
moved to make the amount $10 , Agreed

Mr. Rosecrans ( dom. Cal. ) offered _ n

g i forcing the duties of those oilkura to tha
