SENSATIONAL STORY OF MAN'S MEANNESS
MNtrrnt * Her \Vlirn liverjthliiK
ncileil SiimetliliiK DllTvriMit
mill 1'orcrn n hectic on
the Stroet.
At S o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. T.
J. Maroney of Falrflcld , la. , applied the
loaded end of her sun umbrella to the head
of H. C. Park , a well known citizen ot
North Omaha. Two or three rapid blows
were given and Park was knocked almost
senseless. A shiny new Dunlap silk hat
was Munshed out of all semblance of origi
nal beauty , but did Its owner excellent
service In saving hs head from .being
cracked.
The attack was made In front of the
Grand hotel , when the street was crowded
with people. Two officers were In sight and
Immediately started for the scene. Before
they arrived the man partially recovered
and ran into the hotel. The woman re- j
malned where she was. inspecting , with ap-1
parent tatlsfaclluti. the end of her broken
umbrella. She was taken Into custody and
the man was caught before he made his
way through the hotel.
At the station the woman told a sensa
tional but apparently straightforward story
of the persecutions and wrongs she had
suffered nt the hands of Park. He first met
her at her home In Falrflcld , where her
father Is still living and Is one of the pioneers
neers of the town , well known and wcal'hy.
The girl was between 17 and IS years
old when she first met Park. She is still ,
nt the age of 20 , a very handsome woman ,
and as a young society bud must have been
strikingly handsome. Park fell desperately
In love with her , although many years Ltr
senior , and proposed marriage after a btjef
acquaintance. He was a good dresser and
had plenty of money and created a favorable
Impulsion upon the girl's parents. In time
he was her accepted suitor. Under promise
of marriage he caused her ruin. Her par
ents called Park to account. He then con
fessed that he was already married and
had two children , but declared that di
vorce proceedings were pending and that
he would marry the girl the moment he had
a legal right to. The shock produced fatal
consequences to the mother of the girl. She
died a short time afterward. On her death
bed she made Park solemnly swear to keep
his promise. After the mother's death Park
persuaded the girl to go away with him ,
and for a period of seven years she lived
with him in various places as his wife.
Three children were born. Two of them
died and the third is now living with the
girl's father in Falrfield. Her father was
led to believe that she was married to him ,
and until recently never knew otherwise.
A year ago the woman left Park and ie-
turned home , where she shortly afterward
married T. J. Maroney. a young buiincss
man. She had led Maroney to believe < \ith
I her father that she had been marrieJ ' .o
! Park and bad Just succeeded in getting a
1 divorce from him. After her marriage Park
continued to haunt her and his attentions
excited the Jealousy of her basb.mJ. This
finally led to quarrels and estrangement.
Mrs. Maroney left her home an-1 siar'ed
west with the Intention of going far svty
and starting anew in life.
When she reached Omaha thrco we ks
ago she met Park on the itrosls. He nas
EO overjoyed that he seized lu-i1 and huggvil
and kissed her la public , " ( e professoJ to
be unable to even live without h r. und
she says almost forcibly too * her to South
Omaha , where he rented a loom for her.
She says his conduct toward nor Indicated
Insanity. He wantcl to keep her a close
prisoner. He gave her no.'iins to live uron
and at times she sallf-ed for foaJ.
Yesterday she determined to leave him.
He bad come to her room drunk and spent
the night In riotous debauchery. She left
the room early and sought to hide from
him. but he followed her , and dogged her
footsteps wherever she went during the
forenoon. To avoid him she went out in
the vicinity of the home of his family in
North Omaha , but he still followed. She
had made up her mind , she says , to return
to her father's home In Falrfield , having
previously written a few days ago the whole
story of her life and had received a reply
urging her to come home
Park followed her when she boarded a
motor train for Council Bluffs and took a
seat behind her. On the way over he
whispered a torrent of abuse In her ear.
When she got off the car at the corner of
Broadway and Pearl street she warned him
not follow her further upon threat of hav
ing him arrested. She walked as far as
the Grand hotel corner and turned down
First avenue. She says she was going to
sit In the park until time for the evening
train on the Burlington road , which she
was going to take for home. At the Grand
hotel corner. Park , In low tones , heaped
the vilestabuse upon her. She grew desper
ate , and turning her umbrella , she smashed
him over the head with the Heavy end , and
calmly awaited until the police had caught
the fellow when be tried to escape by run
ning through the building.
The greater part of this story was told In
the presence of Park and was not denied by
him. His only claim was that he was try
ing to get the -woman to go to her home
in Falrfield , and had accompanied her here
to see that she did not meet and other man.
The only thing he seemed to regret and fear
was the possibility of the reporters getting
hold of the story and printing It with his
name. When he found that a trio of them
had been drawing the story from the woman
he made frantic appeals to have everything
connecting him with the woman's troubles
suppressed , but seemed rather anxious to
have her disgrace made public. The wrjman
says Park has failed to provide for his fam
ily for a long time , and that the wife and
her family of two grown daughters are
now making their home with Mrs. Park's
brother , a man named Teedrlck , in North
Omaha.
Mrs. Marony's father is 70 years old and
Is a highly respected and wealthy citizen
of Fairfield. The woman asked earnestly
that his name should not be mentioned
and the reporters respected the motive that
prompted the request. Park Is or has been
a gas and water meter Inspector. He wa
locked up with the common herd ot touslu
and tramps in the lower part of the city
prison and the woman was given tnc raoft
comfortable quarters possible In the upper
rooms. Both will be held for appearance
In the morning session of the police court
today.

Enthusiasm In the cause of tree stiver
end freedom In expressing his views led
to the arrest of Dr. J. I. Fearon of this
city yesterday afternoon on the charge of
having used the malls for the purpose ot
making defamatory and Incendiary utter
ances of and concerning one Grover Cleve
land , president of the United States , and
one John Sherman , a senator of the United
States.
lr. Fearon is a pronounced silver advo
cate and has a habit of giving emphatic
expression to his views. A few days ago his
attention was attracted to a clipping In
the Nonpareil from an Ottumwa paper ,
In which It was stated that the government
might as well recoln Its MO gold pieces
Into (20 pieces as to make & 0 cents worth
of silver pass for a dollar. He wrote a
postal card to the Nonpareil In reply. Ite
said that the government had gone on for
forty years coining sliver In the good old
way until a midnight conspiracy of hell
birds , bribed by gold , worked up a conspiracy
that demonetized silver. Then he Intimated
that Judge Lynch would make short work
of Grover Cleveland and John Sherman
under certain conditions , etc. Thu was
signed by the Initials "J. I. F. , " and mailed
to the Nonpareil , and brought out an edl
torlat paragraph. It also brought out a
deputy United States marshal.
Deputy Marshall Hlllweg went to Dr.
Fearon's house and asked him If he did
j not want to make some reply to the Xon-
parcll editorial. The doctor promptly re-
i piled that he did and then discovered his
i mistake and refused to talk further of th ?
matter. He would not deny that he had
written the ? ird and would not admit that
he had written It. By a little subtcrf-ige
the doctor was Induced to write another
card and the handwriting corresponded to
exactly with that of the offending card
that a warrant was Issued for his arr-'st
charged him as above stated.
Dr. Fearon was taken before Commis
sioner Steadman yesterday afternoon and
waived preliminary hearing and was ie-
leascd on a bond in the sum of J5OO , signed
) } himself and his wife , to await the ic-
tion ot the federal grand Jury in Septem

The park commissioners held a meeting
yesterday afternoon in the council chamber
of the city building to talk over matters
connected with the city parks. The ques
tion of employing a policeman at Lake
View park was decided In the affirmative.
John Byejly was given the Job. The park
commissioners pay him J5 per month and
Gilbert Bros , agree to pay the came
amount. The remainder of his salary will
be realized from the rental of boats.
W. A. Mynster appeared before the com
mission to register a kick about the leak
age from the reservoir and wanted the
banks raised. The commissioners agreed
to go out there today and see what the
trouble was.
A resolution was passed appropriating } U
a Sunday for four weeks to assist in paying
for band concerts in Falrmount park.
Dalbey's band will give the concerts. The
motor company will make up the remainder
of the pun * A concert is to be given
each Sunday afternoon and evening. A
failure to play will mean a failure to pay.
Park Policeman Lamb reported that the
lights in Falrmount park bad not been
burning properly of late and had frequently
gone out as early as 9 o'clock.
D. J. Horseman , the discharged Cochran
park policeman , was before the board with
a lengthy petition asking his reinstatement.
He was heard In his own defense. Commis
sioner Harding was responsible for his dU-
missal , and while the man was before the
beard a rather Interesting colloquy occurred.
He claimed that Harding was "down on him'
because he had refused to work for the
commissioner during the hours he was sup
posed to be working for the city. During
the cross-examination that followed It was
discovered that be had assisted Mrs. Harding
a few hours one afternoon making a flower
bed , and one evening after 6 o'clock had
done some work for the commissioner ai
a matter of accommodation. The petition
was laid over for future consideration.

select a date that would be most approprl- j

DES MOIXES. July 7. ( Special Telegram. )
It is probable that the new anticlgar ? tte
aw , which went Into effect July 4. will be
assailed despeately In the courts in the
near future by the general council of the
American Tobacco company , the tobacco
trust. W. W. Fuller , general attorney for
the trust , has been here and at Iowa City ,
the home of Attorney General Remley , for
several davs. and has Just left for the east.
He has been Investigating the law and
believes It can be set aside. Remley does
not admit that this Is possible , but has
misgivings. The plan of the trust Is to bet
some dealer to violate the law and make
a test case. Every dealer in the state has
been assured by the trust of its protection
in case he Is called up for violating the
law for selling the substitutes for cigar
ettes which have been prepared , and exten
sively sold by the trust , and which con
sist of the ordinary cigarette filler with a
wrapper of light tobacco.
The trust will maintain that an ordinary
5 cent package of cigarettes is an original
package , and that the state cannot pro
hibit its sale without interfering with inter
state commerce , which under the federal
constitution it cannot do. ; ' The supreme
court of Iowa has gone farther than any
other court in the country. In the definition
of original packages ; it has held that a
bottle of beer which was shipped into the
state in a case or barrel , is still an original
package after It is taken out of the case
or barrel , and that its sale cfnnot be pro
hibited under the federal constitution. In
the same line , the sale of the package of
cigarettes would probably be allowed , and
Attorney General Remley says that If he is
called on to argue the case he will plainly
say that the court must recede from the for
mer decision or this law will be Invalidated.

There was another fine crowd at the
Charles Street park last evening. It seems
that the masses cannot gvt enough of bi
cycle raclng. It has the call over all
sports , excepting the great national game ,
base ball. Last night the stands and
bleachers were filled to overflowlnp ; long be
fore the race begun. Everybody was out
for a good time , and they had It. Despite
the fact that there was nothing of a thrill-
ins character about the race up to the
grand finale , they kept the summer air
resonant with their cheering all through
the evening nnd when the climax came ,
pandemonium Itself was cut loose.
Becker , the speedy boy from Minneapolis ,
and McCall , the Omaha favorite , were both
In a lamentable condition. Both men art-
better fitted for the hospital than they are
for the violent necessities of a hard six
day race With bandaged limbs and lusterless -
terless eyes they appeared on the track
last night. But both were full of pluck
and the plaudits of the admiring multitude
had Its effects. They braced up as If after
a long and hearty drauebt at Ponce de
Leon's mystic spring. They rode as only
genuine thoroughbreds can ride. 15ut It
was unreasonable to expect anything out
of the ordinary at their hands. They were
content to hold their own and see that no
ono else did any more.
MIerstein. the fractious Sioux City kid was
as full of vim as a Pawnee cur Is of fleas
and Holton , too. was In fine fettle Hut
this counted for little. Try as hard as they
might they could do nothing with the two
"crips. " Hall and Schrader wore both on
their mettle nnd kept the ganp on the hustle
all the evening and It was only by the moat
judicious tactics that the rest of the string
were enabled to hold their own. Streeter ,
the Cedar Rapids phenom. pulled out en
tirely. He realized that it was a forlorn
hope , and stabled his tube steed to avoid
humiliation.
Manager Mardls hunir up fifteen extra
dollars for the first man across the tap
last nlKht. The prize was sufficient to
bring about one of the grandest races ever
seen In a bicycle race Holton and Mler-
stcln made a dead heat of It. The excite
ment was tremendous. McCall nnd Becker
narrowly escaped a disastrous collision ,
Both lost their pedals , and were out of the
chase In the last half lap. Holton rode a
remarkable race , and many thought he hat ]
won. Dut Mvlrsteln was with him , so
close that the Judges declared that they
crossed the line on even'4erms. The kid
wanted to run It off , but Holton wisely de
clined. The score :
