TRIED TO WORK THE PADLOCK RACKET Moth Mnn Dorlnrrd Their Innocnnco of Any Intention to ! > < > AVrnnc Henutlct or n I.ltrly linncluntlou AVoll llUintrntcd. The two confidence fellows , giving their names as 11. L. Kallesh and J. , J. Shepherd , had their hearing before Justice Field yes terday. The testimony showed that the two wore partners working the little pad lock scheme. Shepherd took the role of the verdant stranger , who was anxious to bet any amount of money that ho could open the mysterious padlock exhibited by l.nllesh. Lallesh was always willing to bet but uu fortunately had no means except ft draft , which ho was willing to put up as security , It the saloon man would lend him the monpy necessary to mnko the bet and capture the veulant's money. The game was tried In several Main street saloons but no ono bit , and the pair of sharpers found themselves suddenly tumbled into a patrol wagon nnd headed for the station. On the way there Shepherd crumpled up nml dropped a draft for $1,500 , and his partner in llko manner tried to get rid of the little padlock. Those evidences of the * business were picked up by the police , however , and the follows had to fuco them in court. Krlitenccft of Tlirlr Orcupitllon. On Laflcsh was found a $ V)0 ) draft , which was made out on the same sort of a blank , and In the 3:11110 : handwriting , and in favor of the same party , J. M. Beck , ns the $1,500 draft which bhephoril had tried to got out of the way. It took a peed deal of tall swear ing for the two fcllnws to explain themseh'cs. Shepherd claimed that ho had fallen in with Laflesh by chance at Sioux City , having had a alight acquaintance only with htm before in Chicago , whore Lallesh , or "Silver , " as ho called him , had worked In n Clark street auction house. Shepherd was bound for Arkansas City , Kan. , and Lallesh concluded to KO along , nrovided that Shepherd would waltn few days until ho could realize on a chfok for f.V)0 ) which ho had won gambling with a man named Heck in Sioux City. Shepherd was In u hurry to go on his way to Kansas. Lailcsh nrofossed to belong to the Order of Trainmen , being an old railway man , and that by reason of this ho could got free rides and taken partner with him.iShepherd there upon proposed to furnish grub money , if La- tlcsh would furnish transportation , and the two under this arrangement came to Council nitiffs. While waiting hero for a train to take them further on their way they went into two or thrco saloons lo get re freshments. In two of them Lailcsh showed these little padlocks , in both cases pulling them nut of his pocket accidentally with some change , and as they attracted the at tcntion of the bartender "in each case ho explained - plained frankly that one of the padloclcs would not open , for some reason , but that the other would. In ono place the bartender wanted to bet Shepherd , but the latter re fused. Clnlincil Thry W ro Strictly Honest. Beyond some llttlo details like these both men denied that they were trying to work any game , and denied , too , that they had tried to mnko way with the padlocks or drafts. Neither of them had over seen the $1.600 draft. Laflesh said that in regard to the padlock that ho did not know it was in his hand and that if it was ho must have dropped it out of the wagon in sheer nervousness as ho put his hand up over the rail. The precious pair were bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $ ; iOO each , and in default of bail were talcen to Jail. There seems little doubt but that they are quite slick , but their play in Council BlnlTs was very unfortunate , possibly because they toolc it few too many early drinks before staying their stoma'chs against prohibition whisuy by a substantial breakfast. | STILL A DKU1' JlVSTKItV. Nothing Un * Yet lli'on Heard from tlio Mlsslnc Watson. The search was being kept up vigorously yesterday for some solution of the mystery surrounding the disappearance \Vatson , the traveling man. at Silver City. As usual , just as soon as the occurrence of such an event becomes generally known there sprung up a thrifty crop of clews and singular cir cumstances , each of which , iu the mind of the excited narrator , Is the all important ono for speedy investigation. One of the most singular of these was oue which throw the little town of Mincola inio a state of ex citement almost equal to that tingling the nerves of its near neighbor , Silver City. As the story goes , a saloon man at Mincola went to ono of his outbuildings late Monday night and was surprised by the form of a man crouched in one corner. As ho struck n match to enable him to see more clearly who was there , the un known jumped and ran. but not before tlio Biiloonist had noticed that he was halloas , coatless and vesllcss. Ho excitedly gave the alarm , told what ho had seen , and soon neighbors nnd citizens were running in all directions searching for him whom they supposed must be the missing U'utbon. The saloomst's slory had Us force rather shaken by the discovery that the narrator did not get over his excitement , but it rather In creased , until yesterday morning it ills qultei evident that ho was far uI ! from lsa mental balance. This has caused the con jectures to bo divided , ns to whether the saloonist imagined he saw such a man as ho described , or whether ho really did see him and the shock caused him to lose his mind. The theory that Watson was assaulted in such a manner as to leave him in a dazed condition , causing him to wander otf , seems to bo meeting with most favor. The absence of traces of blood - cog. any p-ovys most puzzling , but the absence of any motives for him tote voluntarily disappear is equally certain. JIIONMSON IIKOS. Sprclnl for Wcdnexliiy.

Chris , Larson , a South Main street mer chant , is being congratulated for his success ful methods of collecting bad accounts. Hans I'etersen had owed him a bill that hud paused the ago of youthful Indiscretion , turning the seven year period by several mouths. The amount exceeded K'O , and Peterson always managed to keep his property In such a shapethat executions were harmless , few day ago Peterf.cn went Into a South Main street saloon and ordered the drinks : for some of his friends. When ho went i to pay the bill ho stepped into a back room , pulled oIT a shoo and sock and took out a reel of (140. Ono of Larson's friends happened to sea the performance ana re- noricd the fuel , Larsen then devised uu original schemu to got a whack at the roll. Ho got UU friouUi to accompany Peterson around town and pro utfon him frequent injunctions to take ft drink , and the result was that within a few hours the stocking banker was rlpo enough for the police to pick. The people nt the city Jail were given a Mint to search the prisoner's stock ings and the JUO roll was brought to view and deposited in the strong box In the Jailor's onico. Before the trial was called the next morning Larson garnished the mar shal , got judgment In a justice's court and collected his bill. Other creditors heard of the proceedings and followed suit. A llttlo of the money is still left In the court's hands awaiting any other creditors who may happen to hear of the case , HIS IOKA 01' A How r. Itj-nn , nn Aged IllnnUo , Observed l.nlinr Day. T. Hyan , h grizzly old patriarch of about ninety pounds weight nnd OOyoars existence , was brought Into the central police station yesterday afternoon In the patrol wagon at the Instance of his wife and neighbors. Ho celebrated tlio recurrence of Labor dny and only got into a condition to feel real young and frisky about 8 o'clock yesterday afterIool noon. Then the furniture of his humble domicile on Seventeenth avenue required his attention , Ho procured an nxo and devoted a perspiring hour to the reduction Into kindling wood of every article suitable In the house. His old wlfo had to fly for her life , and when she got some of her neighbors to como to the rescue of her household goods there wasn't much left , and nearly nil of U was lying out In the yard. Not a single article that couH succumb to the blows of the ax remained In existence. Deputy Marshal Anderson , who accompanied the wagon , de scribed the wreck as being the most com- uleto ho hud over seen outside of a dynamite explosion. The grizzled old sinner had. to bo picked UP bodily nnd carried into the cell assigned him until this morning. The police say that It was the best doseof flghtine whisky they have encountered for u long time. A few weeks ago Kj'an had another jamboree and came near wrecking his homo , nnd Ofllcer Lcuch had to tlo him up in his bit ; bandanna handkerchief and carry him to the nearest patrol box. Ho was discharged that time upon giving Judge Medico many repentant promises , but ho will probably bo taken care of this time until his wlfo can rehabilitate ] the stricken home. > 'ntlct tu ruuunors.

[ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] There was an clement of pathos In the proceedings of the iftstrlct court hero today , the children 6f the Into Mrs. Mawhor being called on to testify to the fuels surrounding their mother's last hours. The little boy nnd girl , who are bright looking , Intelligent children , evidently felt the peculiar situation In which they wcra placed , nud showed they know the Im portance of the proceedings. They gave their testimony In a simple , straightforward way , their childish voices seeming strangely ont of place In so serious a matter as the trial of n man for his life. Ami when tbo man was the one who had undertaken the duty of n father and who was accused of the awful crime of murdering their mother , the pity of the thing was Impressed on all who heard their evidence. Clarence Erbeck , the 11-year-old son of the dead woman , was the first witness called. Ho told of being at school on the uay his mother died. Ho returned In the evening and ate supper with the family. After auppor his mother busied hcrsell par- tug tomatoes to make pickles. Just before she went to bed she wont to the pantry nnd got some quinine capsules. They were In u covered box. Ills mother took two , ami then asked Mavhor , "Shall 1 taKe the oilier onol" Mawhor answered , "Do as you plonso. " She look the third ono and then went to bed. In about twenty minutes she woke up and called him and his sister. She Uissed them goodby and said she was going to die. To Mawhor she said , "What was in that iiii- ] nine , i am afraid it is going to kill mo. Wit ness went after Airs. Harris , and Mrs. Harris went for the doctor. His mother said nothing about the third capsule being n litilo one. ( This statement is m contradic tion of what. Mawhor told before the cor ' oner's Jury , when ho said his wife spoke of the third capsule being a "llttlo one. " ) Fiivorcd IIlH StpplntliiT. Cross examination developed the fact tha the little hey was rather partial to Mawhor and when the court made the order placing him In Sheriff Tale's hands it was atrainst the wishes of the lad. Ho said Mawhor had promised his mother on her deathbed to take good care of the children. When Mawhor was arrested the boy ran away and stayed with George Mawhor , a brother of tbo defendant. Llttlo Fannie Erbeck , daughter of the de ceased wife , told in substance tbo same story us her bi-otltoijconcerning the evening prior to the mother's ilenth. She said that when her mother asked Mawhor if she should take the third capsule - sulo he replied : "Do as you please. It makes no difference to me. He re peated this remark , and then her mother look the capsule. Nothing was said about the third capsule beiutf u small one. Fannie went to bed , but did trot go to sleep. She saw Mawhor going to the kitchen after water for her mother , Then her mother called the children ty her bedside and kissed them'goodby. ' ' To ITannie's ( luery as to wliat was the matter shq s\id \ , " 1 don'l know. I believe 1 am going , lo die. " She told the children to bo good children. Then she said : "I wish I had no , , taken those capsules. They are 6-oIng to kid mo. " Mawhor stood by and when his ilyiiig wife said this he only shook his head. Her mother's last words were to Mrs. Harris : "Don't rub my foot , " Her mother , " did nothing unusual during several -immediately before her death. Kiinw of Her .Mother' * Insllrnnoe. On cross-examination It was developed that Mrs. Mawhorhad ( told her daughter a few nays before hijr deatti that she had her life insured for ? 5,000. Witness also admit ted that Grandma 'Erbeck haa told her she had better refer to the defendant as Mr. Mawhor and not as "Old Mawhor. " An argument was then precipitated as to the admission of the testimony of Mrs. Fannie Erbeck of Alton , 111 , , mother of the dead woman , the defense contending that no notice of oho states ! intention in this respect had been served. The state contended that the production of the witness "as notice sulllcient. The objection was sustained. SIOUX OITY'S bUCCKSS. Opening of tlio Now Union Depot 1'iitx Otimlm'n Kfl'orU tu Slianii' .

Hut It Is also true that the project has not passed beyond the stage of suggestion nnd thnt even In the preliminary consideration obstacles have been suggested which It seems dllllcult , if not impossible , to over come. It Is difficult to eco how n law Is to bo framed which will save the benollts of the existing national banking act , cure some of its defects , maintain national supervision and safeguards , and yet re- inovo the barriers which now prevent free and unlimited state banking. The most Intelligent statement of the plan said to be under consideration is the following : A reorganization of the national banking system under which national banks may bo organized with n minimum capital of $2o,000 ( ) , and with the privilege of issuing circulating notes to 2 per cent of their assets , but not to exceed the amount of their capital. The purpose of fixing the minimum cap ital at $250,000 for national banks is to conllno the Inrgo banks to commercial centers , thus encouraging the establish ment of state banks in the less. populous sections of. the country. The security for the circulating notes is to consist of 10 per cent of government bonds , 0 per cent of commercial paper and 20 per cent of coin. Instead of the existing tax of 1 per cent on circulation , it is pro posed that one-half of 1 per cent shall bo imposed on so' ' much of tbo circula tion as is secured by government bonds nnd 1 per cent on the remainder. In reference to stnto banks , it is pro posed that the law shall provide that in states which enact laws in harmony with the federal law state banks may obtnln circulation notes upon the same terms as national banks. The states must re quire that banks deposit with the proper state oiliccr tlio same amount of state or municipal hootirities as is required for national banks , and that tlio cash and commercial paper shall bo sot apart in the same proportion as additional secur ity. In addition to these collaterals , the eiitiro assets of banks , both national nnd are to bo hold to secure circulat ing notes. State bunks organized in the manner described are to bo exempt from the pay ment of the 10 per cent tax now imposed on circulating notes of such banks , but they will bo required to pay the wmio tax imposed upon the circulation of na tional brinks , which is , too , held for re demption of the notes of failed and liquidating banks. The noted of issue to state banks will bo a series distinct from these issued to national banks. Both issues will bo accepted by the gov ernment in payment of all public dues , but will not have the full legal tender quality. Mr. Carlisle has for some time been tninking over the question of the coinage - ago of the silver bullion now in the treasury and is anxious thut nn author ization for this coinage should bo given by congress. The two propositions will probably bo combined and recommended to congress for action or , at.all events , the leaders in congress will bo given t. ) understand that the administration will approve of a measure repealing the tax on state banks and providing for tlio coinage of bullion. It is believed that this proposition , which is in the nature of an accommoda tion from the mlministration to these who are anxious for an increase in the volume of money , is expected greatly to case up the opposition to the repeal of tlio Sherman law , and it is beliovcd thut It will haaten notion by the senate on the Voorhccs 1)111. The senators from the Hilvor states not bo . . inny alfoctcd much by it , but nearly all of the other sjlvur men , ( will probably bo satisfied with it.
