ho was asked.
"I prefer not to discuss the matter at al

Chief Seavey has stood suspended for eev
oral weeks. The suspension was at his owi
request and was to be pending an Invcstlga
tlon of his official conduct and the entire po
llco system by the Board of Fire and Pollc
commissioners and at the suggestion of tin
late grand jury. A number of meetings wen
hold by the- board , but no evidence by thos
who pretended to have knowledge of rea
facts was offered. It was at first though
that the testimony before the grand Jury 01
the matter would bo accessible to the board
but It was found that It could not be reached
Then an Invitation was extended by th
board to any who had complaints to mak
to appear , but no one appeared who hai
definite complaints to make.
Last Monday evening Chief Seavey , througl
his attorney , recited the facts as to the In
verstlgatlon , as he understood them , to th
board , and asked to bo restored to full nil
thorlty. It was decided to make the consld
oration of the letter the order for a specla
meeting Tuesday afternoon. At this meet
Ing , because all members were not present
an adjournment was taken until tonight.

eight years nnd Is the first chief under th

BECOMING A PROBLEM.
Dnnclai County Flnd Mnny Inonna I'ntlcnt
on Its HiiniN.
At the present time Douglas county ha
forty-one Insane people In a more or les
advanced stage of mental aberration. With !
a few days notice has been tent the commls
stoncrs that ten additional patients will b

these the county will also have to provldi
The excuse given at Lincoln for scndln
this large number Is that the state asylum I
full. Hut the patients cannot be sent to th
incurable hospital at Hastings , because tin
i institution is also reported full , so that tli
county commissioners arc making arrangi
monts to domicile the new patients in tl
county hospital.
"There seems to exist an Idea , " says Judj
Stenberg , "that Douglas county Is best abet
ot the counties to take care of the suprfluoi
Insane , nnd I suppose that accounts for th
shipment. "
In this connection Dr. Tllden expresses tli
opinion that insanity In this locality Is m
now on the Increase , though It has , within
year , been so. Of a largo number or trla

The Insanity board Is trying to adjust
very peculiar case of alleged Insanity. V
E. Dlnklo was several months ago adjudgi
sane by the board. He was waiting trial fi
burglary committed at the barn of Jeron
Allen on December 16 and his attorney calh
the attention oil the board to his mental co :
dltlon. The criminal Judge refused to 1
bound by the action of the board and en
paneled a Jury to try the man's sanity , n
Tllden'who had made a careful diagnosis
the case , was n witness , but still adhered
his theory that Dlnklo was feigning. Tl
( Jury rendered a verdict of Insanity , f
Dlnklo had a most unkempt appearance. Tl
court then ordered Dinklo to Lincoln , but tl
authorities refused to recognize any ordo
ibut those coming from the Insanity comml
itoncri.
The latest phase In Dlnkle's case , since li
retention In jail , Is his walk. Ho now stru
about In a most peculiar way and Dr. Tlldi
will have him taken to the hospital , whe
his conduct can bo studied under trusty a
tcndants.

PRETTY DICK" DIES IN PHISON
Olil-Tlino Hack Driver ot This City Taisc
e
it Wednesday Dick Edwards , alias Billy Leroj
an old-time hack driver of this city , wh
will be remembered by many men of Oman :
especially those who were of a sporty dlsposl
tlon during- the balmy days when the gam
blliiK houses were run wide opn , died In th
Huntsvllle prison In Texas. Here he wa
known by the name of Leroj
but lie will probably be re-nombercd bettt
as "Pretty Dick. " Ho was in Omaha severt
years and for years he drove a hack fc
Charley Hlgglna In the days of the latter' '
prosperity. He was well liked by his con :
panlons , but ho was known as a man wh
would take almost any chances In a tlgh
place. For his friends It Is said that h
would have laid down his life. While no on
knew much of his past life , It was know-
that he came somewhere from the neighboi
hood ot Ds Molnes. Ho never committed
crime hero as far as Is known.
When Edwards left the city ho went (
Hot Springs and from there he wandere
over a considerable portion of the wester
country. Ssveral years ago ho returned I
Omaha , remaining for some time. He ha
just sold a. consignment of cattle nnd 1
spent his money freely. He was accompanle
by his wife a.id snld that he was on. his \vu
to Texas , where his wit ? had como Into son
property on which he proposed to rah
cattle. It Is said that at this tlmo he ha
another wife living In the neighborhood i
this city and another In Iowa. The wife wl
accompanied him was a Salt Lake girl.
Edwards had quite a criminal career , bi
s- Its extent will probnbly never bo known. I !
Is suspected ot having killed a full halt doze
people. To friends In Salt Lake he at or
Is tlmo stated that he had formerly lived on
range In western Nebraska , and killed
man In self-defense. Ho became a fuglth
t- from justice , but was later captured , ar
was acquitted of the crime. In Salt Lai
City he was known as "Cayoto Dick. " Whl
there he was suspected of the murder of
man named Callahan , who was killed
1891 , but was never charged with the crlm
Ho la also credited with the murder of
woman In Chicago.
At the tlmo of his death Edwards w :
serving out a life sentence for the murd
IB of Mrs. Hattlo Hayncs , which was commltti
es In Uonlcon , Tex. , on the night of May 1
1892. On that night three women we
tie killed and n fourth wounded. It Is bellevi
lie that Edwards committed the triple murdc
id but conviction was obtained for the murd
Id of only one. He maintained Innocence
'in ' thlu crime to the last , and when approach
as for a confession , replied that he had nothli
' 00 to say. Consumption was the cause of 1

JONES NOT READY TO BURY
Omaha Attorney Returned Safe to His
Homo Yesterday Morning.
OUT OF HIS HEAD FOR A WEEK
Ueclnrcn Ho Ioc Not Know Where Ho
Went After I.cuvlnu Norfolk Where
Ho Clnlma to Hnvo llocn
Worsted In n Trade.
Yesterday morning J. J. J. Jones ,
the man who sent letters several
days ago to a newspaper In this
city , In which he announced that ho
Intended to take his own life , turned up safe
and sound. Jones Is at his residence at1401
Karnam street. Ho was seen yesterday
by a reporter. While his mind Is very clear
on the subject of certain business trans
actions In which he allcgss that he was de
frauded , he claims to be unable to tell any
thing of his whereabouts since April -1 and
until yesterday.
Jones went to Norfolk on April 3 with
the Intention of trading oft $3,000 worth of
property In this city for n stock of goods
owned by Sam Il ° ebe In Norfolk. He says
that ho did not examine the stock closely ,
but as ho noticed nice new hats , shoes anil
clothing about the store he thought ho had
struck a goad thing. He consummated the
sale. After getting possession , he claims that
ho examined the stock and found that under
the new things that were placed on top , there
were goods that had not seen a factory for
forty years. He worried over the fact that
ho had traded his wife's property for a stock
of goods which he now thinks Is not worth
$1,000. Ho went back to his hotel , and he
can tell of nothing ho did after that time
until yesterday , when lie found hlmscll
on a freight train as It was entering Counci
Bluffs. He landed at the depot at 2 o'clock
and waiting about until 5 , ho walked over the
Douglas street bridge and took the flrst Far-
nam street car for home.
' HE REMEMBERS BUT LITTLE.
During the course of a conversation Jones
apparently unconsciously , said that he re-
niembsred going to Blair , and there crossei :
a bridge Into Iowa. There was no town on
the other side , and he wandered about the
country , trying to find Omaha. He stumblei
upon a traveling man , who took him to
Council Bluffs on the freight train.
Ho positively denied that ho ever went to
Wlsner. Dispatches , however , state tha
Sunday night he went to Wlsner , expressing
the Intention of killing S. S. Beebe , the mar
with whom ho had made the trade. It he
really meant to kill Bceb ? ho changed Ills
mind after ho got to Wlsner , for on arriving
there at midnight ho called Beebo from his
bed and talked about the trade. At the con
clusion lie remarked that he was going bach
I to Norfolk. Jones also claims to know noth
ing ot having been at Fremont. It was from
this point that the letters were mailed
At flrst Jones did not remember of wrltlnt
the letters , but afterward stated that ho hai
written a letter to his wife. He also re
marked In answer to questions not direct ! }
put that every statement made In the news
paper letter was true.
Wlsner and Norfolk people are Indlgnan
over the charges brought by Jones agalns
Beebe and his agent , J. B. Lane. No credence
Is given to his charges against them , as Ir
both places their Integrity Is unquestioned
The story of the transaction as related bj
them Is as follows :
Jones responded to their advertisement am
proposed to trade a residence In Omaha am
other Items of property for the stock of mer
chandlso owned by S. S. Beebf. Beebo anc
Lane examined the property and told Jones
that they thought they could use It. Jonei
then met them at Norfolk and was affordei
every opportunity to Inspect the stock o
goods and did spend all the time he deslrei
In looking 'It over. A proposition was mad (
to Invoice It , but he preferred to lump I
and trade even. Upon being asked to pay ;
difference ot $500 , he promptly assented t
give his notes for the amount. A contract
was entered Into to that effect. Ho was ex
pressly told that It was useless to attempt ti
continue the business In that location , bu
was advised to remove the stock to a nev
town , and such seemed to be his Intention
A delay of a few days was expected bsfon
the notes should bo turned over , and In tin
meantime he passed Into a despondent mooi
and lett Norfolk for Wlsner and from then
disappeared from view.
BUSINESS WAS NOT BRISK.
It Is also said that after Jones took posses
slon of the stock he did not find business a
good cs he expected. Customers were fev
and far between and the cash taken In 01
last Saturday was CO cents. They say tha
Jones became evidently discouraged and real
Ized that he had gotten the worst of tin
bargain. Some of the citizens of the buri
are Inclined to think that lit was slmplj
playing the Insanity dodge. In the hole
last Saturday evening he commenced to sol
and in answer to a question as to the causi
of his grief , he is said to have dramatical ! '
remarked that he had lost his property , hi :
wife's property and his virtue. Then hi
stated that he could not face his wife agali
and that ho Intended to kill himself. It wa :
afterward that he expresseJ the deslro o
putting Beebe out of the world. On Sunda ;
he started for Wlsner with that Intention.
Jones persists In believing that he wa
taken In on the trade and expresses the In
tentlon of suing Beebe to get back the prop
erty which he traded off.
Mrs. Jones states that when her husUam
arrived at the house yesterday he wa
much exclte-d and appeared to be sllghtl
wandering In his talk. Jones' brother arrivei
from Illinois recently and he was at th
house when Jones came In. He also rcmarkei
that Jones appeared to be somewhat out o
his head. His conversation with the reporter
however , appeared to be quite rational.

Jailer Joe Miller did jjotcrun the jail yester-
lay morning exactly toxult the desires ot the
udgo ot the crlmlnabtcttlon ot the district
court , and the countjii attorney was ordered
o fllo contempt proceedings against him In-
Btnntcr.
John Dalbrldgo la heHl to answer for a
lelnous crime , and his father desired to
have the trial take cplace at once. Ho
asked the judge for an < ordcr allowing him
: o see his son , whlch.l.was given. When
Dalbrldgo arrived at the jail lie was refused
admittance. Jailer Miller pointed to the
sign at the sldo ot the door , stating that
visitors were only admitted on Fridays , and
[ ialil no further attention to Dalbrldge who
iad been hanging around the jail oft and
3n for some days. Dalbrldgc reported back
to the judge his Inability to gain access to
the jail.
"What's that ! " exclaimed the court , wheelIng -
Ing about In his chair , while his face grow
as red as a bandana handkerchief , "That
man must be taught a lesson or two. He
Is greater than Bismarck and Is trying to
make himself out as a greater governor than
the sheriff or the criminal branch of this
district court.
"Mr. Baldrlge , as county attorney , pro
ceed at once to draw up contempt proceed
ings to protect the dignity of the court. "
"Mr. Baldrlge , as county attorney , present -
sent Miller , that ho might have something
to base his Information on , and Deputy Mahoney -
honey went after It , but It was found that
It had been torn up and placed In the waste
basket. On getting this Information the
court could hardly contain Itself , and called
for the sheriff , demanding that Miller be at
once dlschatged and a man placed In the
Jail who would not thwart the criminal Judge
In his efforts to punish offenders.
Sheriff Drexel assured the court that It
was all a mistake and there was not any In
tention to hinder or delay justice , and the
boy and father should have ample oppor
tunity of meeting , which was at once given
then.

Later the Judge grew cooler and said he
would probably let Miller off without more
ado.
ado.Joe Miller was seen and stated that he
told the man to come at 2 o'clock , when thej
would not be so busy denning up , and thai
the lost order was thoughtlessly thrown Ir
the waste basket.

however , Harry Kelly was called for sen

Yesterday John D. Howe returned fron
Lincoln , and In a conversation , said : "
was before Governor Holcomb and there I me
several other gentlemen from Omaha ,
found the governor very busy , having mor
than 100 bills on hand and with but five day
In which to examine Into their merits. Gov
ernor Holcomb had already been Informe
concerning the main points In the Omaha clt
charter , as It passed the legislature , cs
peclally as to those of the repeal of th
sinking fund and the Avater works sections
I called his attention to two features of tb
new charter , one of which proposed to re
peal sections 11 and 12 of the old charte
and without any saving clause. Under sec
tlon 11 exists the mayor , treasurer , comr
( roller and police judge , while under sectlo
12 exists the city council. Without th
saving clause , If the new charter had bee
approved , the whole city government woul
have been legislated out of olllce. Undo
the proposed law the city government coul
not have been reorganized In much less tha
two years. Not until 1SS7 could the clt
council have been elected and organized.

THEY FIND THE CAT IS GONE
Abandonment of the Omaha Secret Seivico
Office Bringing Counterfeiters Close.
THEORY OF THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
Itciuons for IlellcvliiR tlmt n Number of
Mints Are In Operation In mill Nrnr
the City ltr-i : liilillliinent ot
Clllco Ankcil Tor.
Another counterfeiters' mint has sprung
Into existence , and United States Marshal
White believes that It Is In the vicinity of
Florence.
Yesterday several victims called at the
marshal's olllce , and one of them left a bogus
silver dollar as a souvenir of misplaced con
fidence In man. Other victims were street
car conductors , who reported that within the
past week they had been beautifully and
systematically worked by a gang of counter
feit dollar shovers , whose members would
get on the cars separately , at night , espe
cially during a "theater train" rush , or at B
o'clock , when tlie cars were jammed , and
would tender a dollar In payment for fare ,
receiving 93 cents of good money In return.
Then the smooth coin shovcr would disappear
and work the same game on the conductor
of Rome other line. The bogus coin In each
Instance bears the stamp of 1S87 , and evi
dently comes from the same mintage. It is
not so good a counterfeit as the glass dollars
turned out at the "white goods" factory at
South Omaha , and the result ot the Investi
gations made yesterday strengthen the theory
that another "money making" Industry has
been started beyond the northern limits ol
the city. The federal authorities bellevt
that fully $ C,000 In silver counterfeit U
now In circulation In Omaha , South Omaha ,
Council Bluffs and Florence , and that within
the past three weeks , a dozen or more of the
cleverest counterfeiters In the United States
have flocked to Omaha and vicinity because
they have ascertained that the olllce of the
federal secret service , formerly held by Mat !
Stedman , and later by M. J. Hughes , has beer
abandoned.
The duties of the position formerly held by
these gentlemen , and which kept operations
In counterfeiting In check , were con
solidated with the ofllco at Denver
Secret Service Operative Walker Is
In Denver most of the time , and
finds It practically Impossible to attend tc
the Omaha end.
The ofllce at Des Molncs has been aban
doned and thus Omaha , with no protectlor
except the United States marshal , has become
a hotbed for queer shovers.
If a certain old sleuth's story Is correct
there are now three or four "mills" In fill
operation In this city and vicinity , Including
the famous "white goods" mint. The lattei
gang Is not only working the merchants anc !
enlisting some unemployed worklngmen as
jobbsrs or middlemen , but another clique ol
crooks is boldly extending Its field of opera
tions to street car conductors.
United States Marshal White confirmed thi
rumor and said that the govcrnmenl
would not allow him any additional compensa
tion or expenses to break up the
gang , and that It was clearly the
duty of the federal secret service. Omaha
should have at least one operative of thai
service stationed here , as the United States
marshal was kept busy attending to the regu
lar duties of his ofllce. Crooks were flockIng -
Ing to Omaha and the result would be start
ling unless something was done to check It ,
He said he was working on a clew and hopsel
to apprehend some of the offenders In the
near future. The " 1887" gang was the latesl
and It was possible that operations were nol
confined entirely to a silver product.
United States District Attorney Sawyer has
become so alarmed over the Increase of coun
terfeiting and apparent helplessness to pre
vent It effectually that ho has written or
appeal to Chief Hazcn at Washington , asking
for the re-establishment of the secret service
ofllco In this city. The request thus far has
not been granted , and In the meantime the
counterfeiters are reaping a rich harvest. Tin
federal officers bellevo that the organlzatlor
of the various cliques Is so well perfected
that the arrest of two or three men now sus
pected would only be temporary relief anc
that It would be difficult ) to obtain sufllclem
evidence to convict without giving the cas <
exclusive attention , which would be clearlj
the duty of the secret service department.
