A JUDGK IN TllOUIitiK.
Ho Heats Ills AVil'e and Offends Judge
Jlelsloy.
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. You can't
appreciate u favor , and you can now leave
the whole amount here on deposit. "
Attorney Townsend , who appeared for
Reuthcr , bud In tbo meantime picked up the
"tonner" and was walking out-wltb It.
"Hero ! " 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.
Judge Hclsley thoughtfully scratched his
lead for several minutes , and then dH-
etmrgcd the defendant with the understand-
ng that he would at once depart nnd bother

1OU13 IIP THE MONEY.
Strange Ilcliaviot- n Woman at the
Union I'aelilc Depot.
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.

At tbo November election , In addition to
the state ticket , there is to bo elected three
senators , a county attorney , two members of
the board of county commissioners mid cloven
members of the legislature , thrco ofwhom
are members of the sennto.

sire for tlio position.V. . K. Vnughan mod

ocratic candlilnto for the position , und
will not stand out against the great pressure
tlmt has been brought to bear upon him to
induce him to sacrillco himself for his party's
( 'ood. 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.
George O'Brien would do a second term if

republicans. TUo doctor is president of tbo

the democratic listof aspirants for legislative
honors and tbcro are probably llfty more of
tlio faithful auxious to bo with him or wlth-
ntit lilin.
County Attorney juauonoy is after a re
election iind will have no opposition in secur
ing the democratic nomination. A half

tioned for the fight ngainst blin , nut the

Wharton and J. II.'nn Dusen. W barton
and Uiclc are pulling tlio greater number of
political strings , but Strawn Is receiving a
substantial support that may capture the
nomination. Van Dusen , who hails from
South Omaha , hai not showed any great
strength in the preliminary sklrml > n , but tils
friends say bo will bo. Ju it when the tight
really opens.
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. Mr. Iteovcs has lived all his lifo in
the county , voted the i domocratlo ticket from
the time lie was able , nrul served on the school
board for about twelve years , lie has boon a
delegate to nearly till" the party conventions
for years , retiring but recently lest , as ho
says , people might think bo couldn't bo dls-
pcnsed with.
( Joorgo Oclston of Elk City Is another
candidate. Ho is popular wltb the farmers
and a prominent alliance man ,
Ceorgo Timmo of Jefferson , who
served ono terra as commissioner ,
has hud a rest for a couple of yearn and now
wants to get back Into the tight. He is mak
ing an energetic canvas for the democratic
nomination.
L. M. Anderson Is workingqulctly for a ro-
nomination for another term. Ho has been
laying pipes all summer , but In meeting with
a great deal of opposition , Having antag
onized some of the loaders of his own party ,
who will sock to encompass bis defeat lu the
convention.
The republicans have been casting about
for a candidate to pit against Aiuloi-jon , and
WllUnmUoburn's nninu is woat frequently
mentioned. 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. This will do away \vith tha crowds
nt tbo polls and will bo tbo means of getting
out a larger veto and earlier returns.

Yet her vogue Is vast. It is confined almost

All Is not well in connection with tb

Of this fact tbo sheriff seems to huvo
finally become thoroughly convinced.
The diniculty h serious and sensational ,
\vhcthertho details can over bo secured

the contrary wcro cxnmincil by nn expert
only u very few montlu ago and pronounced
tobo in perfect condition.
No , there's nothini ; tbo matter \vltli the
locks.
Not to mlico matters , It may bo stated
tlmt an alarming conviction has fnslfnecl It
self upon tbo sheriff's mind , cither that cer
tain prisoners In the Jail liavo boon inovidcd
with perfect orskelelon keys to tlio outslilo
doors , or that tboy biivo been informed tint
such keys will bo fjlvoti thorn nt curtain

Tbo faut that the lock tbnt was opened and
taken oil a door from tlio Insulo , by which
Johnson , tlio cotilidenco man , e.scapedon the
night at Soptemher lhas since boon found
on the roof of the jail and in a
