Arrested in Omaha
Sheriff Salisbury returned from
Omaha Wednesday having in chargo
Hugh Wada and Misel Matwork, two
Japanese, who had oloped from this
city Tuesday, but were arrestod in
Omnha as they discmbnrked from the
train. Wada, who is eighteen, and
Miss Matwork, nged seventeen, have
known each other for eight years, but
the parents of the girl objected to the
marriage on account of her youth. The
girl attended the local schools for two
or three years and is a bright and at
tractive Japanese. She insists that she
is of age according to Janeneso custom
und ha3 a right to marry whom she
pleases. 5 The Japanese way of reckon
ing nge consists in calling a new born
child one year old, and by this way of
figuring the girl is eighteen. However,
the Japanese reckoning does not pre
vail in this country.
Wada is a bright, dressy Jap, who
conducted the Palace cafe whilo Richi
Ugai, tho proprietor, spent several
months in Japan, and is an employe of
the cafe.
When it was learned that the couple
had eloped, the Omaha officers were
wired to arrest them, which was done,
and they wore detained until Sheriff
Salisbury arrived.

from one to twenty years. Tho exact
time of his sentence will be decided by
the state board of pardons and will be
commuted according to the conduct of
the prisoner and the enormity of his
crime. King still kept a bold front and
still contonded that he was innocent.
