On complaint of FranR Newton , a wealthy
tockmon of Hubbard , Dakota county , Neb. ,
the police made a raid on the
bouse at 31714 North Fifteenth street ,
and placed the Inmates under arrest. They
are all accused ot being implicated Io rob
bing tbo stockman of $500 and a gold watch
and chain , white ho was In the place Thurs
day night , although he did not report his
loss to the police until twelve hours tfter
the trouble occurred. , , u
The prisoners are Mrs. L. D. Durbank ,
alias Minnie Jones , the landlady ot the
house ; Iva Miller , alias Mildred Cooley , wtio
came to Omaha about a week ago from
Council Bluffs In search of employment at
stenography with a strong letter of recom
mendation from a wholesale furniture dealer
of that city ; Mrs. John Shields , alias Alice
Lester , whose husband Is a railway switch
man from whom tbo woman claims to be
separated , and whose parents reside at the
corner-of Twenty-sixth street and Avenue II ,
Council Bluffs ; John Barth , a butcher. The
Miller girl says that her father Is a wealthy
farmer In Pottawaltatnlo county , Iowa , near
Council Bluffs , and Mrs. Shields says that
ehc Is suing her husband for a divorce In the
district court at Council Bluffs , and came to
Omaha to keep out ot his sight pending a
disposition of the caic. The Burbank woman
has not thus "far given any account of hereelf
other than that she has lived in Omah * for
about six months. Tuey are all held for
further Investigation.
Newton left his homo the fore part ot the
week and came down to Council Bluffs on
business , a trip ho frequently makes. Ho
brought the rnonay with him for the purpose
of purchasing some cattle and Instead of en
trusting It to the care of the hotel where ho
stopped , carried It about with him. Mrs.
Burbank Is an old , acquaintance of Newton's ,
and ho bad Implicit confidence In her hon
esty. It had always been hla custom when
ho came to Council Bluffs or Omaha to visit
her. After arriving In Council Btuffa the
Btockman sent Mrs. Bufbank a note Inform
ing hu- that ho was there and asking her to
fix a date when'he could call on her. She
telephoned to. him when ho could see her
and at the appointed tlmo he appeared at
the house \vlth the money In his clothes.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
The first thins ho did after reaching the
house of Mrs. Burbank was to tell her that
he had , $500 In money In his Insld < o pocket ,
and to wove the boast he produced the pui-
rency and counted It over to her. Accord-
Inc to Newton's story , the matter proceeded
about as follrawo : .
Mrs. Burbank suggested to Newton that
ho would doubtless feel better If ho took a
bath , and he liked the suggestion so well
that ho accepted her offer to let him use _
the bath In her house , which opens off a large
bedroom , the windows of which open on thereof
roof of a veranda along the rear of the build
ing , and to which the windows in the kitchen
and another sleeping apartment also com
municate. Newton says before he disrobed
for the bath Mrs. Burbank raised ono of the
windows In the bedroom about eight Inches.
Ho laid hie clothes In this room on a chair
and went Into the bath , leaving the door
open. While he was tempering the water
Mrs. Burbank appeared and said she would
close the door to keep the steam-out of the
bedroom. Newton suspected nothing wrong
until after he had taken his bath and
cmerced Into the bedroom to dress. Ho
found his trousers , in the pockete of which
were his money and watch and chain , lying
upon the floor under the open window.
When ho searched them money and all were
gone , The Burbank woman declared that
8he knew nothing about the missing property
and partially led the stockman into the be
lief that some sneak thief had robbed him ,
when something she said twelve hours after
the robbery angered him and he sought out
the police.
Newton Is about 65 years ot age , Is married
and his family Is said to bo prominent In
Dakota'county , Newton says he doea not
care so much about the loss of his money
as he does about the loss ot his watch and
chain , which he values highly.
TRAMP TURNS OUT SWINDLER.
<
lit Works /Omaha Merchant * In HU
Employer' * Name. '
Last Thanksgiving day a seedy tramp pre
sented himself at the homestead ot a wealthy
, farmer in Duncan , Neb. , a village ot Flatte
county , and asked for employment. Although
Ills personal appearance was against him , the
farmer was charmed with his apparent re-
flnement and frankness , and set him at work
husking corn.
The tramp performed what was given to
him to do with a fidelity that won for him
favor from the farmer and by Ingenious
methods be won the good will of his em
ployer to the extent that the farmer finally
entrusted to him the transaction ot business.
Then he became the farmer's confident In all
ot hla private affairs ; ho did all of the cor
respondence for his employer relative to his
business , and In this way became familiar
with everything about the farm.
Last Monday the tramp decided that he
-would leave the farm and asked his employer
.for a settlement. The latter protested that
he could not afford to part with such a valua
ble hand , but the tramp was obdurate , and
receiving $16 that was due to him aa wages ,
he came to Omab .
A few days later the tramp called , at the
toro ot the W. R. Bennett company and
nicked out $68 worth of furniture , which he
said he would settle for by night tlmo. Then
be went to the telephone in-the office and
called up the general offices ot P. E. Her &
Co. . asking tor the cashier , E. Johnson.
"This is D. C. Owens of Duncan , Neb. ,
talking , Mr. Johnson. When may I call on
you ? "
Now Mr. Johnson was not personally ac
quainted with Mr. Owens , but had heard
of htm tor several years as being a good
customer of the distillery. Ot course he
.was delighted to know that Mr. Owens waa
in the city , and would be pleased to meet
him at the office any time during the day.
The trarao went to the distillery , Intro
duced himself as * the farmer from Dun
can , and received a. cordial welcome. He
talked with Mr. Johnson several hours about

the crops , the weather and business pros
pects ; then he brought up for dlscuwlon the
account that the farmer titd with the dis
tillery. Her M Co. owed Mr. Owens for two
carloads ot corn , "and , by the way , " said
the tramp , "If I am not mistaken you also
owe me for two carloads' ' ot hay. " Yes , that
wan very true , and Mr. Johnson askedi hlo
visitor If he wished a settlement.
"Well , the fact Is , I have just purchased
$66 worth ot furniture In the city , and being
a little short ot ready money * It would be
a favor to me If you would give me a check
to balance our account. "
Most certainly , Mr. Johnson would do that ,
and going over the 'books he found that be
sides the carloads ot corn unpaid for there
wa alto to Mr. Owens' credit sixty tons of
My. Tfae total 'amount of the distillery's In
debtedness to the Platte county farmer was
$264 , for which it he cashier drew a check
and banded 11 over to the tramp.
Mr. Johnson received an urgent Invitation
to como out to the farm and spend a week
hunting ducks they were thicker than
flies In itihe summer time on Mr.
Owens' farm. Mr. Johnson accepted the
invitation , shook his visitor cordially by
the hand and the latter left with tbo check.
The tramp presented himself at Bennett's
store again and producing the check said
that he had called to pay for the furniture.
Mr.-'Bennett called up Mr. Johnson and asked
him If ho had given a check for the amount
named to D. C. Owens ot Duncan , Nib. Mr.
Johnson replied that he had given such a
check to a man who represented himself to
bo Mr. Owern , but whether he was the real
person Mr. Johnton was unable to say.
The Bennett company did not feel like
losing the sale BO the check was cashed and
the tramp'received the money on It , less the
amount of the bill. Ho Instructed tbo Ben
nett people to ship the furniture to Duncan
and left the store. The goods were shipped
and then the fraud was discovered. Now the
police are trying to locate the tramp.
Last evening Captain Slgwart filed an In
formation-against Elwcod A. Caseldy , charg
ing him with forgery. Ho Is alleged to bo
the man who perpetrated the fraud and the
authorities have .located him In a town in
Now York state , where they will cause his ar
rest Immediately.

The controversy regarding the manner of
conducting Ore Insurance business la the
fitate ot Nebraska has iaken on a new phase.
The steering committee ot the local flre la-
suranco agents , which is very secret in its
character , has determined to Inaugurate a
campaign for ( be passage ot certain laws
In the next session ot the Nebraska legis
lature.
While Attorney General Smyth ani State
Auditor Cornell are considering the matter
of action against the companies transacting
bus'jnciB In the state and not regularly
licensed to do so , the fire Insurance agents
have agreed to ask the next session of the
Nebraska legislature to pass four laws ,
which the local committee will recommend.
What these bills will Involve Is not dcfl-
nltoly known. It Is known , however , that
they are principally directed against the
transaction of flro Inrmrahco business In tbo
state bv nonresidents , and are Intended to
prohibit the practice ot writing over the
heads of resident agents.
For this purpose coo of the proposed laws
will bo similar to the Resident Agency law
of Ill'mols , , Iowa , South Dakota , Colorado
ani other states. It effectually prohibits the
transaction ot flre insurance business by any
but residents , and if secured would be the
biggest kind of a boon for the flro Insur
ance agents now doing bus In tea in the
state.
SAAWEH'S TKIUI E. > DS O.MONDAY. .
Four Year * n United States District
( Attorney Nearly Over.
The official term ot United States District
Attorney Sawyer will expire on Monday. Ho
will on that day faave completed the four
years' term of office to which ho had been ap
pointed. It Is judged , however , that ho will
be allowed to bold his office for some tlmo
yet , pceslbly several months.
The appointment of District Attorney1 Saw
yer's successor must be made by the presl-
dwit and confirmed by congress , and both are
believed to be- too busy wltb war matters
just , now to bother about the matter of the
Nebraska United States attorneyeblp. Judge
Baker , who was Sawyer's predecessor , re
mained In office forjeveral months after his
four years were up. For these reasons It Is
considered very likely that Sawyer will be
undisturbed for some little time.
Tbere re a number of names mentioned
for the position , the most prominent being
John C. Wharton and William Ourley ot this
city and W. S. Summers of Lincoln , former
assistant attorney general ot the state.

LIFE SENTENCE FOR KASTNER
Alleged Slayer of Officer Dan Tiedeman
Hean Hit Doom.
COURT IMPOSES THE SUPREME PENALTY
Jadste fllabnuRh Goes to the
Limit IB Dcnllnir with the Mas
Convicted of Mardcr la
Second Decree.
Unless pardoned by the governor , or un
less upon the trial of hla father and brother
his Innocence 1 established , August Kast-
nor will spend the remainder of his natural
life within the. walls of the state peniten
tiary , Judge Slabaujh ? ot the criminal court
has Imposed on him a life sentence. Ills at
torney lias excepted , but it is doubtful It the
case will "bo taken to the supreme court , as
the matter of finances stands In the way.
Kastner was convicted of murder In the
second degree during the early day of the
prerent term of the district court , after a
trial that lasted twenty days. Ho , together
with his father , Joseph Kastner , and a
brother , Louis Kaetner , was charged with
the murder of Police Officer Dan Tledeman.
which was committed at Nelson's saloon at
Thirtieth and Spauldlng streets during the
early morning ot June 0 , last.
When Kastner was on trial he attempted
to prove an alibi. His mother , sister and
other members of the family swore that
he , his brother and his father were all at
homo during the entire alght and were not
out of the house after S o'clock in the even-
Ing. Notwithstanding , the Jury returned the
verdict heretofore stated.
The guns with which the shooting was
done have never been recovered.
When sentenced Kastner maintained the
same demoauor that characterized his actions
during the entire trial. Ho never moved a
muscle , but looked the Judge squarely in the
face and listened to the sentence with the
same composure as though ho was being In
vited out to dinner. As the sentence -was
finished , ho turned around and a sickly smile
overspread his features , but not a word did
ho say.
Joseph and Lo'ute Kastner will bo tried at
the next term of court. In the meantime
they will occupy cells in the county Jail , as
ball has been refused.
CLAYCOJIU WILL GET XO DA3IAGES.
Jury Decide * HU Snlt In ! Fnvor of
.the Defendants.
In the case of Stanley Claycomb against
Sheriff McDonald and County Jailer Shand ,
the Jury has returned a verdict In favor of
the defendants.
Stanley Claycomb was a prisoner In the
county Jail , serving out a ecatcnco under
a conviction of pravo robbing , and was very
obstreperous. He tried upon numerous oc
casions to create a riot among the other
prisoners , and to bring him to tlmo and to
force en observance ot the rules of the Jail ,
ho was tied to tbo bars ot a cell and kept
In thlj position for a short time. Upon be
ing released from custody , Claycomb Insti
tuted , suit against the sheriff and the Jailor ,
contending that by having been tied up , he
had sustained permanent Injuries , and that
It would require a Judgment for $5,000 to re
store him to his usual health. On these
Issues the case went to trial In Judge Ba
ker's court before a Jury. After the plain
tiff had completed the Introduction of his
testimony , the attorney for the defendants
moved for a verdict , but the court concluded
to hear more evidence. McDonald and. Shand
then Introduced their testimony and , after
deliberating , the Jury found that Claycomb
was not entitled to damages.
JUHY FIXDS HROMADKA CVIl/TY.
Contlcted of Llliellnar Anton Kmcitt
nd John Honlcky.
The Jury in the case ot the State against
Frank Hromadka bae returned a verdict of
guilty , recommending the accused to the
mercy of the court. The trial of the case
was commenced last Thursday and concluded
yesterday afternoon. The verdict was
reached within an hour from the time of
the retirement ot the Jury.
Frank Hromadka was accused of circulat
ing literature libeling Anton Kment and
John Roslcky. The literature was published
and circulated during the political campaign
last fall. The case waa tried a few days
ago , but the Jury was unable to agree.
.Stock Firm Get * a Verdict.
A Jury In Judge Keyset's court room has
decided a case which has attracted' con
siderable Interest among Nebraska stockmen
by returning a verdict for the full amount
sued for In the case of Modlsett Brothers ot
Rushvllle against James Schultz and Hans
Schultz , stockmen , and Rice Brothers &
Nlxoa , a South Omaha commission firm.
The suit arose over the sale of 645 head of
cattle in 1896 , which Modlsett Brothers sold
to the commission firm. The purchase price
was something oVcr $22,000 , and was paid
In cash and notes. All of these notes were
collected" with-the exception of those signed
by the Schultzs , amounting to nearly -10-
000. The latter and the commission Arm
refused to satisfy the paper with more than
$7,000 , alleging that they Intended to hold
the remainder on the grounds that the batch
of cattle bought waa short In weight to that
value.
The case hinged entirely on this charge of
oversight , and this , In the opinion of 'the '
Jury , was not substantiated by the evidence.
Consequently a verdict for the full amount
sued for , $3,600 , has been returned in favor
of 'Modlsett ' Brothers.
\VIndlnsr Up the Term.
The work of the February terra of court
is rapidly drawing to a close. All of the
Juries have been discharged from further at
tendance and no more will be drawn. All of
the dockets are practically closed , only a
few cases remaining for trial. If these are
taken up they will be disposed ot by 'the
court. The 'May term ot court Is likely to
be short , the Judges Intending to adjourn
about the middle ot June , whereas they
usually run the term well over into July.
This early adjournment will be on account
ot the exposition and a desire to got through
before the hot weather ot summer sets in.
Defect In the Verdict.
In the case of Wllllam , Hall against Louis
Phllllpson , the Jury has found for the plain
tiff , but has failed to fix the amount of the
Judgment. The court has announced that the
verdict will be set aside. A correction In
the verdict could have been made were it
not for the fact that the Jurors agreed dur
ing tte night , signed the verdict and then
separated. * '
Hall sued for $155 , alleged to be due as
wages. The defendant contended that bo
was a partner in the business , and consequently
quently was not entitled to a salary.

( Editorial New York Mall and Express March 12. )
President John A.iMcCall of the New York

In an Interview published In The Mall and

ample of American patriotism. Ho announces
In simple terms that holders ot policies ot
life Insurance In his company may consider
themselves released from the restriction
which forbids them to engage in military
service.
This magolflccnt organization voluntarily
waives and sets aside the clause In Its poli
cies which provides that the holder shall not
enlist In the army or navy In time of war ,
and it gives the further assurance that It will
not even bo necessary for the policy owner
to apply for this release , the company grant *
Ing It In full and without reservation.
For this patriotic and gc > .ierous action
President McCall deserves and will receive
the grateful approval of the entire country.
It means that If war must come no policy
holder in the New York Life will sacrifice one
Jot or title of his rights and Interests by en
listing for the defense of his country. It
means that this corporation , which Mr. Mc-
Call's genius- and enterprise have placed
among the very foremost"- " trust Institutions
of the world , stands shoulder to shoulder
with the people in supporting the govern
ment. It Is a brave , -honorable and Impres
sive act , and It will command Increased ad
miration for the courageous spirit that con
ceived and executed it. The first place on
the honor roll ot great organizations respond
ing to the demands of the present national
crisis belongs to the New York Life Insu
