Judge Slabaugh sentenced Charles Mooro
t Sarpy county to the penitentiary for one
rear and a half yeetcrday on n plea of
tullty to tho charge of horso stealing.
Ilchlnd this routine court announcement
thero la a story. Tho defendant, Moore, ap
peared boforo Judgo Slabaugh of bis ojl
volition. Ho said ho wag guilty; that ho

naa a minion on nis confluence
MJUlll UO ruiluL'U UJ nitmvvt ntu"
court decreed. After this explanation Judgo
Elubaugh pronounced sentence.
It was a most unusual proceeding for a
man charged with crlmo to go from ono
county to nnothor seeking penalty, but
Mooro had been advised that bo could havo
bin caso ended hero and that waa what ho
desired. In tho district court of Douglas,
county Judgo Slabaugh attcnd only to civil
business, but In Sarpy county, which Is a
part ot bis district, ho passes upon matters
both criminal and civil. Mooro was under
Indictment In Sarpy county for horso steal
ing. Ho consulted tho prosecuting attorney
and told him ho desired to plead guilty. The
prosecutor suggested that court being In va
cation there, nothing could bo dono until
next term. This did not suit Moore. Sus
pense wan a nlghtmoro to him, far moro
(orrnldablo than regular expiation ot his
crime. He suggested that he be taken to
Omaha, whoro he might make confession to
Judgo Slabaugh.
ComeN to Oinnlia for .Sentence.
Tho county attorney looked up tho law and
found nothing to contradict tho regularity
of such proceeding. Moore waa glad when
ht received tho verdict of tho prosecutor.
Tho sheriff was apprised ot tho situation
and, accompanied by tho county attorney
nd tho sheriff, Mooro arrived in Omaha
yesterday morning. Ho could hardly wait
for court to convene.
"When tho cards nro stacked against mo
I want to get out of tho gamo," said Moore.
Those who saw tho man could fully under
stand nis declaration. Ho la a brawny six
footer, and If his general appcaranco Is an
Index to tho caliber ot his hoart It Is as
big ns that of tho proverbial ox. When
Mooro camo before Judgo Slabaugh short
work was mado of tho caso. Tho county
attorney explained tho sentiment of tho de
fendant and tho court ruled that tho mat
ter could bo taken up here as well as In
Barpy county.
"What have you to say why you should
tot bo sentenced?" queried tho Judge.
"Nothing, your honor, I am ready," de
clared Moore.
Most mon quail beforo a sentenco ot a
year and a half In prison, but Charles Mooro
appeared to be relloved when ho heard the
words fall. He waa taken to Lincoln
on ono of tho late afternoon trulnu, thoro
to don tho convict strlpro
Comparatively Httlo is known of Moore's
rast history. A fow years ago ho drifted
Into Sarpy county and obtained employment
on a big farm owned by tho Sanborn broth
crs Pearly and Cliff. Ho proved to bo a
model "hired man," nnd In a fow months ha
gained moro or less promlncnco In the com
munlty.
It was from his employers that Moore
stolo tho horse. Tho crime .was committed
somo tlmo last fall. The horso was recov
crcd without particular dtfllculty. Although
Mooro did not 'beg for mercy nnd mado no
showing of extenuating circumstances, his
friends dcelnro that tho theft of tho horso
from tho Sanborn brothers was simply tho
freak of a drunken man for It Is said that
Mooro had been guilty of exccMlvo Indul
pence in liquor several days prior to tho
theft. This -was tho first black mark
Rgalnst lilm nnd tho only ono so far as
known.

Alma, Nob. Yesterday morning In tho United

tho Jury finds that tho report to tho comp

1 SHERIFF WANTS MORE HELP
Mikei an Effort for the Appointment of a
South Omaha Depatj.
PETITION SUBMITTED TO COUNTY BOARD
Without !)ImimiIoii the Document Ix
Referred to Court llnuxe nml
.lull Committee Other
I'riM'vi-illiiK.
Tho feature ot the regular weekly meet
ing of tho county board ycBtcrday was an cf- J
fort on tho part of Sheriff Power to havo nn
additional deputy appointed. It was ex
plain 3d that a deputy is needed In South
OmnliM. A resolution for tho appointment I
was introduced by Commissioner. Hoetor,
one of tho popocratic members of the board,
nnd Incidentally a resident of South Omaha.
Tho reolutlon was accorded a chilly re-
ceptl
)tlon. Not even the popocratic brethren ,
Commissioner Hoetor appeared to bo par-
ulnrly enthinlastlo nbout It. After brief
of
tlrulnrlv
debate, during which Commissioner Ostrom
spoko forcibly against tho proposition, the
resolution wns referred to the committee
on court houso nnd Jail. Indications denote
that tho county board will not "stand for"
tho South Omaha deputy.
If tho rioolutlon should be adopted It
means an Increase of $75 per month In taxa-
tlon, for that is tho salary proposed for J
tho pro?fect vo deputy. In support of th.. '
tesolutlon Introduced by Commissioner Hoe-I
tor, presumably at the request of Sheriff
Power. 1b a petition signed by dfty-two .
residents of South Omaha. Tho Idea Is to
hnv,. ttm .lenutv Rl.Hlnneit there. Sheriff I
Power did not appear at tho meeting of the
commissioners, but among the spectators
several well known henchmen were recog
nized. Cum 111 1 hn I oner Ontroni T11IW.
In opposition to tho foisting of ndditlonal
expense upon taxpayers Commissioner Os
trom said: "Tho sheriff's olllco Is not do
ing tho buMlucsB this year It did last year,
or for several preceding years. Ono notablo
decrcaso ot business Is the fact that there
aro not so many foreclosures. Thero Is
moro general prosperity nnd the fore
closure work Is reduced to the minimum.
In several other -branches tho work is
lighter. Yet Sheriff Power seeks to havo a
larger forco than has been granted to any
other sheriff. I do not bellevo that a ma
jority ot this board will favor such a propo
sition." Sheriff Power has evinced unusual In
terest In South Omaha affairs ever elnco he
hns been elected. A prominent court houso
ofllclal, discussing tho attltudo ot the sheriff,
said:
"It ficcma to mo that Sheriff Power Is
trylug to build up a political machine. He
seeing to think that South Omaha can do him
a lot of cood and, according to my view of
It, ho Is trying to usurp tho prerogatives that
by law aro accorded to tho mayor.'
The proposition for Increased deputy forco
will probably bo settled nt tho next regular
meeting of tho commissioners.
A resolution "was adopted authorizing tho
chairman of tho board to sign a petition for
new curbing and other Improvements on
Harney ptrect from Fifteenth to Twentieth
streets, with the exception of tho Sixteenth
Btrcot Intersection. This petition Is to be
presented to tho mayor and city council.
Tho county treasurer was granted au
thority to employ an extra clerk at $73 per
month from tho present dato to Juno 1.
This In for tho purpose of clearing up un
finished work. There was no party opposi
tion to tho propooltlon.

Wenzel entered tho Oxford hote office at
5 o'clock Friday afternoon and signed tho
roglflter, giving as his placo of rcsldenco
Reldenback, Pa. Ho sat around the olllco
until 8 and then asked to be shown to his
room. Night Clerk J. D. Nold escorted him
upstairs to room No. 27.
"He bad very little to say," said Nold.
"When I ohowed hlra tho room ho asked me
If the door could .be locked on the lnsldo
and I told him It could. As I started down
stalre ho camo to tho door nnd ald: 'Put
me down for a call at C and be sure to
wako mo.' Then ho went In and I heard
him closo tho tranaom and lock the door."
Yestorday morning when Nold undertook
to arouso him thero waa no response to his
knock and tbo door had to bo opened with
a latch key. There -was a strong odor of gas
In tho room. Wenzel, stripped to his under-
wear, was mnE on uw uimn. uu iu uu,
; "ally covered with a quilt. Nold took hold
I ot his shoulder to shake him and
I startled to find tho flesh cold. Both tho
" I J
window and tho transom wero cloacd nnd
locked.
Dr. S. N. Hoyt was called, but theTe waa
riothlng for him to do. Ho gave It as hlo
opinion that llfo had been extinct a half

Tho coroner was not notified, as Is cuBto

Tho coroner arrived a half hour later and
examined tho room nnd Its contents. Noth-
