lo Tolls ft Queer Story of tlio Method
Tnknn l > y the Hook Inland
Sheriff to Scotiro Ven
geance.
Eilwnrd A. Iso , nllos Charles Adnms , the
nnn : brought baclc from .follot by Captain
Mostyn to answer to n charge of forgery ,
ells n story that pyts the ox-sheriff of Uoclc ,
.sltttui . In nn unenviable Htjht , mm U Is cor
roborated by Marshal Miller of Hock Island
and Captain Mostyn.
The story Is a long one , but It Is told by
Isof < substantially as follows : Ho was the son
\vnll-to-do parents In nn eastern state , ntid
was sent to Princeton to complete his educa
tion. About tlirc-o years ago , when the hud
re his senior year , his father mot with
lit reverses and lie was compelled to
abandon his colleeo course. Shortly after
ward u severe attack of nervous prostration
loft him with 11 most pronounced impediment
III his speech , but lie started out to earn his
living.
111he After working for a while as a bookkeeper ,
he went to Long Hr.ineli and began playing
the races , but ho placed his money on the
wrong horses , and before long was doiul
uroke. ) Ho foil in with n man who claimed
ton DO an actor , and this Individual proposed
n scheme by which they could make some
money. Iso was iu n condition where a
money making scheme looked very attractive ,
mid nt once entered into it. lie was sent
out as advance agent for the actor ,
nut ] the game was for the actor to forwnrd a
check to his agent In care of some hotel.
When the agent arrived tliero the check was
InO' waiting for him. and the hotclkcoper was
expected to cash It In anticipation of securing
the wliolo company for his house The scheme
was successfully worked in 11 ilthnoro , but
nothing has been heard from the authorities
IKOl that city regarding the matter , and It is
not known to what extent it was worked
there.
tln Iso struck Omnhn about fifteen months
ago ) and stopped at the Windsor. Itvas noi
long until ho had succeeded In having two
chucks cashed by Messrs. Prince & bchlank ,
nnd then came a day when the advance agent
ntdi
disappeared and with him Sol Princo's ? " >
overcoat. \ The thing that galled Prince waste
tc think that ho had insisted on Iso taking
the coat. Iso was having his own
coat ( cleaned , and ns it was a
raw , chilly nay. Prince would
inC allow his guest to go out without proper
covering. ( The coat was recovered by Cup-
tain Mostyn when Iso was arrested in .Hock
Island n yoir ago.
Iih It Is because of the occurrences following
his arrest in that city that Iso is filled wltti
Indignation , and the local authorities uro n
llttlo bore on the same point. Sheriff SIlvls
entertained n spite against the Ne
braska authorities , nnd Iso was
made to suffer for It when that ofllclal made
rth
his potty attempt to "got even. "
iso had lloated two of his checks there and
trieil to work off another when ho put up nt
the Negus hotel in Hock Island. The pro
prietor coulu not cash It , but Iso was arrested
by Marshall Miller nnd held as n fugitive
from Justice to await the arrival of nn Omaha
oflicor.
0V Captain Mostyn secured requisition papers ,
which were forwarded to Springfield and
then to Uock Island where they were in the
hands of the sheriff when Mostyn arrived.
Miller wanted him to have the prisoner , but
as there was an unfiiendly feeling between
MiHor and the sheriff the Litter opposed it ,
and endeavored to have Negus illon complaint
ncninst Iso so that ho could bo hold there.
The ] landlord refused , holding that thcro was
no case against Ise , but the sheriff prevailed
nI the uight clerk , a young fellow unmed
Ulum , who knew nothing about the cnso , to
sign the com plaint. When the prisoner was
taUen before the police magistrate , that ofll-
cial severely scored the sherilt , saying , "You
have held this man for eleven days without
illlng t a complaint , nnd now when this Ne
braska oflicor comes for him you
rush In hero with this complaint.
I will have nothing to do with
this rotten affair , " and ho tore up ttio com
plaint r before the eyes of the ofllcer.
The sheriff hustled the prisoner to a justice
shop across the street whore a noiv com
plaint I was filed , nnd inside of ten minutes
the defendant had waived examination nnd
been I held to the district court in the sum of
$ S . ' > ,0)0. ( ) The sheriff provided Iso with nn at
torney t and on advice of the latter ho pleaded
guuiy to a cnargo 01 an attempt to
utter forged paper , being given to
understand \ that the ponaltv would bo thirty
or-sixty days in jail. When ho was ar
raigned the stato's attorney was so drunk
that ho could not appear in court , and the do-
fondant's ' attorney was so well corned that no
addressed the court without rising. Another
attorney had to bo pressed into duty to rep
resent the state. To Ice's great surprise ho
was told that an attempt to utter worthless
paper would receive tlio same punishment
as in case the attempt had been
successful and was sentenced to a year in the
penitentiary. When Captain Mostyn de
manded to know why ho had been treated in
that way , the sherilt explained by saying
that he had to go to Nebraska once after n
prisoner , and ho wasn't treated right , and ho
hud been waiting for an opportunity to play
back the some way. Another reason was that
it was n matter of dollars and cents with
him , ns ho got so much for feeding
the prisoner , and a certain sum for every ap
pearance incourt us well ns a mileage for
taking n prisoner to the penitentiary , and ho
wanted all ho could got.
The Nebraska authorities did not kick about
the matter , but concluded to have the pris
oner just the same and Captain Mostyn was
on hand to receive Iso as ho loft the doors of
the Illinois penitentiary.
It was on this second trip that Mostyn
learned how Iso had hcon "kangarooed.11
Iso will plead guilty hero to the charge of
forgery and endeavor toihnvo the court take
cognlzanro of his full story. Ho Is an intelli
gent young man , and says ho wants to turn
over u new leaf. One term has convinced
him that ho wants no more of that life , and
ho is confident that ho has suDlcicnt ability
to support himself in a straightfor
ward manner. While in the Jollet
penitentiary ho was the record
keeper nnd devised a complete
now sot of record hooks greatly simplifying
the hitherto complicated systom.and

The ro.id houses and saloons that for years
mvo flourished in the country adjacent to
the city limits by nnnunlly contributing the
sum of ? ir > each to Uncle Sam , must now close
up shop or help enrich the county general
fund ,
At the present time thcro are live of these
places located upon the disputed territory of
Cut-Off lake island , three upon the shores of
Florence lako. two near Swift's ' lea house ,
two on West Cumlnp street , two at Hu&or's
park , ono on Saddle ctcck near the poor farm ,
ono just west of Fort Omaha , nud Uvo on the
Military road.
Some of them have been quiet and orderly
places , but others have bc ( > ii dives where the
worst characters , both male and female , have
congregated. From many of these plrccs
men have returned with sore heads , empty
pockets and their limbs tied up in bandages
as evidence of the cutting nud shooting affrays
in which they have engaged.
The itlca of going oui of business has boon
brought about by a bill passed nt the recent
session of the legislature , which provides that
the county board of cnch county may grant
license for the sale of malt , spirituous and
vinous liquors , If deemed expedient , upon
the application by petition of thirty of the
resident freeholders of the town , If
the county is under township organiza
tion , and if not under township or-
guniratlon , then thirty of tlio resi
dent freeholders of the precinct where
the sale of such liquor Is proposed to take
place , setting forth that the applicant is n
man of respectable character and standing
and a resident of this state , and prayirfg that
license may bo issued to him. Such applica
tion to bo Hied In the oflloo of the county
clerk nnd upon payment into the county
treasury of such sum ns th'o board may re
quire , not less than flivo hundred ( $ . " ,00) ) dol-
Irtrs for each license , and upon the cmpllauco
with the provisions of tills net.
Provided , such board shall not have power
to Issue any license for thcsnlo of any liquors
in city or Incorporated village , or within two 1
miles of the samo.
Provided , In counties having 150.000 Innnhl-
tants , the county commissioners may also
issue license within two miles of any city in
said count } ' .
The law has caused consternation among
most of the outside snloonlsts , nnd Instead of
showing llghtjtho county commissioners have
an idea that most of them will bo out of
business , though some will take out their
licenses , and make their places summer resorts -
sorts for those parties who take a summer
drlvo and a nip by the wayside.
Tlio law will bo rigidly enforced , and those
saloon men who will not peaceably submit
will bo proceeded against by the county
board.

The mayor is not well pleased with the
manner in which matters pertaining to streets
are handled. His disgust grows out of the
street cleaning contract.
Yesterday ho said : "I am In favor of giving
the contractor another ( rial and then
if ho does not do his work ,
I think the city should hire
men to clean the streets nnd charge the ex-
Cense to the contractors' bonds. When the
onii Is exhausted , th ° city can buy machines
nnd do the work by the day , under the super
vision of the board of puDltc works. Thla
plan would certainly bo much cheaper and
give better satisfaction. " While upon this
subject , the mayor had a word to
say regarding the street nnd sidewalk
commissioners. "My Idea , " said ho , "would
bo to abolish both of these oftlces. I would
put these departments under the control of
the board of'publlc works. Give ono mem
ber the streets and the other the sidewalks ,
and make thorn responsible for their respec
tive departments. If wo would do this , it
would bo a saving of money and better re
sults can bo attained. "

Jury Gives tllnr * Verdict Agatnal tlio
Km * b'lro Olllcc.
Attorneys Hanaorn , Ourloy and Mnrplo are
feeling exceedingly happy over the outcome
of the case of Kdwnrd A. Ayorst against the
Sun Fire Ofllco Insurance company that was
submitted to the Jury yesterday afternoon.
This Is the celebrated case noticed in run
HER a week ago , oud which has been on trial
over since. ,
It was a suit on nn insurance policy wherein
the Sun Fire Ofllco insurance company , the
defendant , sot up several defenses , among
others , that the plaintiff , Ayerst , burned the
property , the value of which was sued for in
the suit. When the case was called
the Insurance company's ' attorneys
stated to the Jury that they would
prove that the plaintiff , Ayerst , was an cm-
bcrzlcr , mm that ho had been Indicted for cm-
be/.zloment. On the trial of the case they
produced ono witness who testified that ho
had heard oho person speak hi a derogatory
manner of the plaintiff.
Inasmuch as the jury returned a verdict
promptly In favor of the plaintiff , Mr. Ayerst ,
and nnsw 'rod every special Interrogatory
submitted to them bv the court strictly In his
favor , It Is presumed that this Is an ordinary
case wherein a holder of a policy sues an In
surance company , nnd It set up the ordinary
defense of burning the property. Mr. Ayerst
was formerly well known In Omaha , and the
verdict of the Jury in this case is n complete
vindication for him. The Jury was out
forty-live minutes , returned a verdict for the
full amount sued for and answered every In
terrogatory In his favor. The amount of
the verdict was $ li9. , : ( !
This verdict docs not settle the matter ,
however , as today Mr. Aycwt will file his
petition in the district court and bring suit
ngnlnst the Sun Fire Ofllco to recover $25,000
damages , claiming doluuiation of character in
this amount.

Necessary Protection From llaldH or

During the past few years certain parties
have felt that they had an inherent right to
pilfer from the citv , stealing lumber , tools
and paving material. This has been carried
on to such an extent that the councilmen -
men have concluded to put a
stop to the business before the whole
city is carted away. Acting upon the con
clusion the councllmon will build a high board
fence around ono of the city's lots on the
