G , Ueuther , the ex-police judge of South Omaha , was before , Judge Holsley for dis turbing the peace by being drunk and light ing. Ho was arreotod at the corner of Eleventh and farnam streets , whcro ho was fighting with his wife. The woman's clothes were badly torn before the pair was placed In the patrol wagon. At tbo station the woman said that she had boon running a lunch stand at the county fair and bad cloirod about § 00. Ueulhcr , she claimed , had cotno homo Intoxicated Thursday about midnight and demanded the money. She refused to lot him have It , whereupon ho knocked her down and beat her and Hn'nlly took tbo inonoy away from bor , after which bo loft the house. Friday noon ho sent her word that ho wanted 'tier to meet him at a Farnaiu street restaurant nt 2 o'clock. She went thcro at tbo appointed tlmo and win told by her husband that ho was going to Chicajro. She demanded her inouov , but ho refused to give it up , when slio said that she would not remain here to support tlio family if ho was going away , She could sup port herself , but not all of her children nnd several of his by n former marriage. Keuther hurried to a neighboring ticket ofilco and bought bis ticket , and when ho was Interfered with by his wlfo the row ensued , which resulted In the nrrostof both. Mrs. Ueuther was released and .Tudgo Helsley sent un order to release Uutheras soon a-sbowashouer. Ho had &J.7.1 when arrested and was required to deposit $15 of that amount for his apiiearuncc. When hu appeared in court ho asked for a continuance of the case until Wediiesdav afternoon at'J o'clock , which was granted" . Ho then asked for his money , and tbo court gave him ? IU of It but said ho would retalu * 5 for anpearauco money. This did not suit Heuthcr , who began to criticise the court , That was a llttlo more than Judge Holslcy could stand. "Seo hero , Kuulhor , " said ho sharply. "I Icnow my business. If you know It better than I do get In hero und run It.

" called the " court , "comu back here with tlmt como back here , como back hero ! That money stays right hero , and we'll see whether or not this court knows Its own bus ! ness. " Townscnd reluctantly returned the money , nnd with it surrendered a largo percentage ol his chances for a feu , Kcuther slipped out ol tha court room aud around u neighboring cor ner , where ho could express hU thoughts with perfect safety und without fear of inter ruption. When the case was called In the nftornoor the defendant's attorney was present anc made n touching plea for client , who , IK claimed , was a much abused and heupeckct nuu. Ho suld the ex-judge only wanted bil n chnneo to get out of the city and go to Chicago cage , and bo would leave many miles Detwccn himself and spouse. Ho said ho was author ized to apologize for his client's behavior In the morning , and ho hoped that the court would not further humllato him.

Thcro must bo something very unusual dis turbing the mind of a person who will delib erately tear a roll of greenbacks to tatters and throw them away. That Is wnat a woman did yesterday while riding in the patrol wagon from the Union Pacific depot to tbo police station. She bad been arrested at the depot by Ofllccr Cool : because slio acted strangely. She ap peared at the depot about 9 o'clock yesterday morning nnd purchased a ticket to Ogdcn. After sitting about the depot until almost tlmo for the west bound train to pull out she went to the ticket ngent and requested him to take back the ticket to Ogdcn and soil her ono to San Francisco. The agent did so , hut when the train left for the west the woman failed to get aboard , saying to the ofllcer who assists passengers to get ou the train that she would watt for the afternoon train. A bout noon she went to the baggage room , where she had some trunks , and jerked the checks oft them. This convinced Ofllecr Cook that the woman was not right mentally , and ho began to question her. She displayed a largo roll of bills and said her brother had given her the money before she loft Denver. She pave her oanio us Bridget Harrison and talked very freely with every ono about tbo depot who would en gage In conversation with her. When the afternoon train had loft for the west she again refused to get aboard , but instead requested tlio ticket agent to refund the price of her ticket. Ofllcer Cook then called the patrol wagon and had her taken to the station as a sus picious character. When she stepped out of the wagon at the auiiiuu &uu uruppcu u lui KI- lull ui utus on inu pavement. Tbo money was gathered up and was found to bo badly mutilated. Tlio bills were mostly $ .Vsand10'satiduboutHOoftho amount hau been torn in two and ono end of the bills - /as uiUslujj. Sever bills were torn into small pieces. She refused to give an ex planation of the struugo conduct , excepting that she did not know she was tearing up the money. A search was mndo along Jackson street ou tbo route the patrol wagon had fol lowed from the depot , and the missing ends of tbo torn bills were found wliero she bad deftly thrown them out on the street. If the story tbo woman tells is true she Is the victim of the most shocking brutality , nnd her brother , who lives In Denver , is guilty of an outrageous crime. She says thnt she has been keeping house for her brother , John HurrUon , at ltil.r > South Ninth street , Denver. She says that her brother gave her most of the money , hut slio does not know what to do or wliero to go. The woman had been drinking and is to all appearances demented. She Is very plainly dressed , about thirty years old , and of medium size. Dr. Capon will examine her today to ascer tain the truth of a part of her story at least.

Euclid Martin is also mentioned as a democratic candidate for senatorial honors. The legislative crop has not fully blos somed yet , but thcro ore a number of light ning rods up. Dan O'Kcefe , Chris Spccht , lW. . Fitch , I. S. HuscallandDorioy Ilouck , are among tbo republicans who uro willing to represent tbo county In the legislature.

In the third commissioner district William Turner is auxious to succeed himself , while J. U. Reeves , a young farmer of nikhorn , is seeking tlio nomination on the democratic ticket.

Thcro U a score to settle between thcso gentleman , ana if Mr. Coburn goes Into the contest a decidedly warm fight U assured , Mr. Coburn has not yet decided whether ho will allow his name to bo used in connection with the oflice or not. U'bero will bo ono now feature in the next election in tbo city and that will bo the man ner and motbod of receiving and recording the vote. The work that is being done in dividing the wards will give the city double the number of voting places existing at present.
