LATTER ASKS FOR LEGAL PROTECTION

Up HIM Home nnil Tliun , Upon
\UIIICTOIIK OeeiiMlitliH , AH-

A rather sensational sequel to the sensa
tional divorce case of Llngcfclt against
Llngcfclt , which was concluded at the Muy
term of the district court. Is being en
acted In the court of Justice of the 1'iacu
Powers Just now , where two of the parties
to the divorce suit are engaged In the
second legal battle.
The history of the dlvorco case Is fresh In
the public mind. Harry L. Lliigcfdt , the
husband , began the proc-udlngs , m.ikliiK
one Fred Maxwell a co-respondent. While
the case was pending the wlfo filed a cn.ts-
Iietltlon , setting up as grounds for separa
tion allegations of drunkuiimus and
cruelty on tbo part of the husKxud. Afttr
u .rial that was di.clde-lly unsavory , racy
nnd sensational the \uto succeeded In get
ting the divorce.
It appears that after the dlvorco had bc.cn
granted Maxwell did not ccaso paying at
tention to Mrs. Llngcfelt. As a matter of
fact , ho maintained nls position as a friend.
The former wife , considering that she was
now to all Intents and purposes again a
slnglo woman , received him as such.
It also appears that despite the fact that
his quondam wife had secured a divorce.
Llngcfclt still retained a considerable In
terest In her. It Is , In fact , said that , he was
Jealous of her and her attention to Max
well , even though she was legally separated
from him. This Jealousy manifested Itself
In various ways , and , It Is charged , especi
ally In a surveillance of Maxwell's move
ments , particularly on the occasion of his
visits to the previous Mra. Llngefclt.
Such a condition of affairs was provocative
of trouble , and In the due' course of time
It arrived. Maxwell did not think that
Llngefelt had any further right to Interfere
In any way with the affairs of the divorced
woman. The watch that Llngefclt put upon
him was IrkHomc. and became dally more
EO. Maxwell was finally unable to bear It
nny longer and took steps to put an end
to the existing condition of aftnlrs.
He Is charged with putting his new line
of policy Into clfcct upon the first occasion
that presented Itself. It Is said that ho met
Llngcfelt on the street , and , after u few
vigorous expressions , assaulted him. Two
more encounters followed , In both of which
Maxwell was as victorious as In the first.
In ono Maxwell Is enld to have committed
the assault with his fists and In the other
with an umbrella.
Llngcfelt's spirit rebelled at continually
getting the worst of his meeting with his
rival , and , after the third encounter , he
also laid out a new line of campaign. This
consisted of nothing more or lies than an
cppcal to the courts for legal protection.
He asked , in Justice of the- Pence Powers'
court , that Maxwell he placed under bonds
to keep the peace. The proceeding was be
gun on August 25.
The ease came up for hearing a coupli
of days ago. The plaintiff put In his case
setting out the facts of the assaults. Tin
matter was.then continued until next Satur
day , when the defendant will have an In
ning. H Is said that the defense will IKU
spend much time In denying the assaults ,
but will Insist that they do not form under
the circumstances aulllclcnt cause to place
Maxwell under bonds.

Bishop John L. Newman was In Omaha
a few hours jesteivlay morning. The
news of his. arrival preceded him
and his room at the hotel was
the Mercn of hundreds of old friends
and Hdmlrcrs. The bishop was In bis

the gorn ] man. He said ho was en route
to Oakland , Neb. , and from tbcro Intended
returning to Corydon , la. , to attend the
Iowa conference , which meets there , after
which ho purposed going east to New York.
The bishop declined to talk politics , saying

Citizen of Clilciitio.
NEW YORK , Sept. 1G. The World eays :
It was rumored late last night that Alex
ander Sullivan o'f Chicago , whoso name
figured so conspicuously , though Indefinitely ,
In the Cronln murder ease , has been
arrested In Paris at the Instance of the
English police. In connection with the
rumor , the World's Chicago correspondent
telegraphed the following !
Alexander Sullivan went abroad two
months ago , to Carlsbad , so It Is said.
Saturday night last his wife , Margaret
Sullivan , was stricken with apoplexy , and
Is now very III. She said ho was to liave
sailed today from Dremen. She cannot be
seen. Nothing is known bere , though It Is
rumored that Sullivan la under arrest. The
belief Is that Mrs. Sullivan's attack was
caused by some distressing news contained
In a cablegram. It is said by Irishmen here
that Sullivan would not have gone into any
dynamiting scheme. It is possible he nv
be arrested on the theory that he was i. . .
Irish Invincible , but there Is no. evidence
that he was even remotely connected with
the Invlnclbles. "
PARIS , Sept. 1C. There is no truth In
the report that Alexander Sullivan of Chicago
cage , the Irish leader , has been arrested
here.

EVANSTON , Wyo. , Sept. IB. ( Special. )
The residents of the Jackson's Hole coun
try have found a new foe to the big bands
of elk and deer which make the region
their winter pasturing ground. The sheep
which are trailed across the country arc
said to cat off the range so closely that
the wild game will starve to death if the
sheep are not kept out. With the same
energy with which they drove out the In
dian hunters the people ot the district pro
pose to keep all sheep off the ranges. A
mass meeting was held last week at which
a resolution was adopted notifying owners
of all sheep already In. Jackson's Hole to
Immediately remove such sheep. The re
moval" must be .nado with the highest rate
of speed and a committee was appointed
to see that the order of tbo citizens was
obeyed. A committee was also appointed
to wait upon alt sheep owners Intending
to drive sheep over the ranges of the Jack-
ton's Hole country and notify them that
under no ccnslderatlon whatever will they
be permitted tr come Into the region with
any sheep , whether for the purpose of graz
ing or passing through.

PAXTON , Neb. ; Sept. 14. To the Edi
tor of The Dec : OnrtJho evening of Septem
ber 12 a couple of ann struck this town to
talk free silver. Thty traveled In a wagon
Quito a few of theupeoplc of Paxton turnct
out to hear them. iMr. Hutchlnson , the flrsi
speaker , sct-med lllro in old farmer In fact
one could almost BCD the hayseed In his
hair but he Beemcdln. harmless , quiet man
full of statistics and bird knocks. The other
man , "Dr. Johnson , " vas he styled himself
got off his subject entirely toward the close-
of his speech , and talked not only what ha < 1
no bearing on the money question but what
Is positively contrary to all democratic his
tory , faith end tradition.
Ho said the republican party owned all
the German voters In this country and
herded them like cattle. That Is a base slan
der and proves that be doesn't care what ho
says. 1 have no German blood In my veins ,
hut I have great respect for my German fcl
low citizens and It makes me hot to hear a
vagabond going through the country running
down decent people without any reason for
so doing. No matter what ticket my German
fellow citizens vote they arc an honor to any
country. During our late war , how many
Germans followed that gallant officer , Franz
Slgcl over the shot ploughed battlefields ol
the republic ? It must be remembered that
fully two-fifths of the American people have
German blood In their veins.
Not content with running on foreigners ,
the smooth demagogue took a running Jump
at the Catholic church , by telling a rotten
story about running for office In Iowa and
an Irishman , he said , asked him how he
stood on the A. 1' . A. Ho told the man ho
was opposed to Catholics. Methodists , Uap-
tlsta , Presbyterians or anybody else build
ing fine churches while people were poor and
needy around them. As Catholics have some
of the finest places of worship on this con
tlnent , and as he said something about
"prltsts , " anybody with common sense could
plainly see that the lying dcfamcr of the
republican party Is also an Intolerant relig
ious , or perhaps I should have said , Irreligi
ous bigot , Solomon built a grand temple in
the Most High , as grand as any modern
church. AVas Solomon an Impostor In all
his wisdom and glory ? Was he a liar and
mugwump ? If the Catholics of the United
States build grand churches whose , business
Is It ? Isn't It as worthy an object to build
churches us legislative halls ? Where Is the
American who will say our congress can do
business In a tent and give to the poor what
money it takes to build and keep In repair
our halls of legislation ? Besides what de
nomination In Christendom has more chari
table institutions for the poor all over the
civilized world than the Catholic church ?
Religious freedom Is an American principle.
Freedom of conscience Is a democratic prin
ciple from Jefferson to Cleveland. Heforc
the constitution of the United States one
man's religion Is as good as another man's.
This Is neither a Protestant country nor a
Roman Catholic country , nor a Jewish coun
try. nor an Infidel country , but n land of
civil and religious liberty , and I hope It
will ever remain so. I hope that the next
silver orator who strikes this town will be
more of a gentleman than this vulgar dem
agogue. FRANK KAVANAGH.

Cheated a TailorWoe
HY , " said a prominent lawyer to one of our sales ,
men yesterday , "I don't believe that ready-made
suits can be good suits. " "Well , " said the clcrk
who is a bit of a wag , ' 'maybe your honor isn't used to
trying good suits" ( law suits ) and "his honor-who
was qu'ck to catch on , handed over $16.00 for one of
our swell fly front suits and cheated his tailor out of a
job. We are cheating the tailors out of a good many
jobs this fall. We are selling some of the finest readymade -
made clothing in the world from $15.00 to $19.50 per
suit , and we arc guaranteeing it to fit as well , look as
well , wear as well and hold its shape as well as any
suit that any tailor can make you at double our price.
Some people we can't fit , of course , but 99 men out of
a hundred can come in here to "The Nebraska" and
find the size they want , the style they want and the
finish thcy"want. And they can save all the way from
$15.00 to $25,00 on any su't ' they buy. Such a state
ment as that may need proof. We are ready to fur
nish the proof.
