SHE SCARES THE SHERIFF Ifrs, Oaiter'i Raalittio Aoting Too Muoh for Limb of the Lw. POWER INTIMIDATED BY WOMAN'S RAGE (iiirn on Stne lo Collect an Old Judic ium!, but Ileeldes lo Atvult u Jlore Fit vo ruble Oiinor ( nutty. Mrs, Lcsllo Carter's power os a realistic KCtross has boon proved to tho entlro sat isfaction of tho sheriff of Douglas county, who Is a whole Power lu himself, by tho way. Kver slnco tho year 1891 a Judg ment for an oven $t,000 bill has been writ ton on tho records of tho Douglas county court ngalust Cn roll no IuIho Carter and In fnvor of Dr. Clark (iapen. Tho Judg jiicnt was recovered on a claim for medi cal nud legal services. On Thursday, after Mrs, Carter's trunks, full of Parisian gown, lingerie, headgear nnd footwear, had been unloaded nt lloyd's theater, Dr. Onpen's lawyer thought ho recognized a opportunity to collect. So ho hied him Bolf to tho county court, secured n writ of attachment and placed It In tho hands of the sheriff for service, rri'iinri'n to .fleet Arti'mm. That night Sheriff Power got n shave, n shampoo and n shine, dressed up In his Sunday clothes, cocked his brown derby nattily over his right eyo and prepared to meet the great actress. With the assur niico of a man who has tho law on his Hide, ho Mid plana that seemed easy of execution. Ho would go to tho stage door, demand admittance by authority of his olllclal position, Intercept Mrs. Carter In tho wings and cither collect tho amount of tho Judgment In cash or carry nway cunugh femlnlno wearing apparel to mako half of tho women In Oimilia glorious on JJaster Sunday. It was too easy, reckoned the sheriff. What tho sheriff anticipated nnd what tho sheriff realized, howover. were two very different things. Let hlra tell It In his own way; "I had no troublo getting past the turn key on tho outside door, but I had plenty of It after I got Inside. (Jet Into llevy of Women. "I nover saw so many actresses all at oncii In my life as there were crowded around mo on that stage. How many? Why, It peemod to mo Rko there wore nt least a hundred, Somebody told 'cm I was the sheriff and theu they begnn to Jolly me. Ono asked mo If I had a Jimmy In my jiocket nnd unother wanted to know what I'd do with u lot of woman's flxln's If 1 nhould happen to got 'em. Flnnlly an Irishman dressd up like a Frenchman como over to me and said ho was tho stago man iigrr and ahked mo what I wanted, I told him I wanted Mrs. Cnrler, ond ho pointed out to tho center of tho stage nd snld; 'Thero she Is go nnd get her,' I wnsn't In the humor to cut In on tho play and besides, I don't know enough French to last me three seconds In u show llko 'Zaza.' So I JiiBt concluded to keep my eyo on Mrs. Outer, sluce tho had been pointed out to me, nnd nail her when sho got through with tho scene. Till mi Get Lively. "I was determined to got tho money or tho equivalent In personal property, and I had the legal documents with mo to do tho Job. .1 kept my oye on tho woman nnd In a couple of minutes she began to scrap with a fellow that was out on tho stage with her. Say, I've seen soruo pretty lively bouts lu ray time and I've seen llttlo women fly up nnd make suckers of great big, pow erful men on several occasions, but 1 never saw such a cyclone as that Mrs. Carter. It didn't tako her tnoro than thrco minutes to mako that follow give signs to tho referee to count him out. Ho laid down llko a mis erable quitter and I didn't blamo him. Then she smashed somo of tho furniture and ran Into tho wings where I was stand ing." "And what did you say to her?" was asked of tho sheriff. "What did 1 say to her? Why, I Just said 'Kxeuso me!' ns she walked all over my feet aud then 1 got out of the way." Post pom-M Li-Kill Action, "Well, how about tho attachment?" "Oh, I thought I'd better lot that go over until I could catch tho woman In a bettor humor. 'Taint nc uso talkln' to a woman when she's flustrated." Tho sheriff expected to serve his papers on Mrs. Carter tho next day, but In the meanwhile Di, Oapcn's lawyer found out that tho actress was a bankrupt under tho federal law, and so tho sheriff was saved further trouble. NO MORE OMAHA HANGINGS Oapital Puiishmtnt to Be InflioUd Oalj at State Pimttntiarj. RELIEVES COUNTY OF SAD SPECTACLES RUBBER PRICES ARE ELASTIC Jolilirrs Announce Itrtintr of Five Per Cent lu Addition to Other Discount. Wholesale dealers In rubber goods in Omaha aro sending out circulars to their customers notifying them that they will re ceive a rebate of 5 per cent on oil goods purchased between February 1 and April 1 In addition to all discounts heretofore re ceived. This a result of tho action of tho United States Rubber company In making this reduction April 1. In tho territory of tho Omaha Jobbers this reduction will hnvn considerable effect, as practically tho entlro sales for tho next season were mado during tho months of February and March. February 1 n reduc tion was mado which reduced tho price nenrly 23 per cent below tho ruling prices for 1900. nnd thero was a rumor of a resto ration of prices on April 1, With this con dition facing tho retail trade tho merchants hurried their orders to the wholesale houses and placed at least SO por cent of the business within sixty days. BLOODY MILK IS ON SALE Nnmiilr Submitted to City Inspector lliiltnn 1'rnvnkr mi investigation. A sample of milk was brought to the city milk inspector by a resident of Ambler Placo. The milk was purchased from a dairyman who has many customers In tho western portion of the city. A chemical examination of tho sample showed that the milk contained blood. Inspector Button will pay a lslt to the dairy which supplied tho milk. Stiiiiiunry of Local Executions Wlttihi tlic .Memory of the Present General Inn Lynching of (rurKf .Smith. Omaha has probably seen Its last hang ing. A bill passed by the recent legislature and signed by tho governor provides that capital punishment In tho stato of Ne braska Is hereafter to bo inflicted only within tho walls of tho penitentiary at Lin coln. No matter in which county n person Is tried and convicted of a capital offense, the condemned must bo taken to Lincoln and turned over to tho warden of tho big state prison, who will attend to the details of sending tho souls into eternity. This now Nebraska law follows tho ex ample set by tho states of Now York and Ohio, lu which legal executions havo for somo years been confined to tho precincts of tho stato prisons. It Is not to savo the counties tho expense, but to rollovo them of tho dreadful spectacles, that the change has been made. A black-shrouded wrcteh hanglug by the nock In expiation of some horrlblo crime Is not a picture to bo ad mired in any community, and so long as such spectacles must bo endured It Is bet ter for the public that they should bo shown only within tho gloomy walls of tho felons' home. Within tho raomory of tho present gen eration Omaha lias had four legal execu tions nnd ono lynching, nnd no good citizen will regret that the curtain has descended upon tho last act of tho gruesome play. Now that the curtain lias fallen, tho his tory of capital punishment in Omaha may bo written with tho hope that an appendix need sever be added. IIuiikIiik' "f I'M Xrnl. There were, of course, soveral hangings in Douglas county prior to tho execution of Ed Neal, but, fortunately, thoy were of In frequent occurrcpco and tho memory of nil but the older citizens runneth not to them. Neal was hung at noon on Friday, October 9, 1891. Tho gallows was erected In nn en closure formed by the slono walls of ths court houso and tho Jnll and two temporary walla mado of rough pine boards. Moro than 250 people, who hod been provided with tickets by the sheriff, crowded Into tho small enclosure to witness tho dreadful act. Tho superstitious mny find food for thought in the fact that tho number of phy blclans In attendance was Just thirteen. They were Drs. Coffman, Stone, Harrlgan, Lari mer, Summers, Jonas, Freeman, Bridges, Lee, Williams, Holovotchlner, Illert and Allison. These thirteen men of medicine could not agree upon tho tlmn when the last spark of life left tho body of Neal as It dangled from the gallows.
