Atkinson Pair Skip.
Warrauts were issued in county
court Monday for the arrest of Levert
J. Bacon and Jennie Bolles, both of
Atkinson. The woman’s brother,
John Bolles, swears to the warrant for
the arrest of his sister for a statua
tory offense and Bacon’s wife swears
to the other warrant for the arrest of
her husband.
Itseems,according to the complaint,
that the pair have been unduly famil
iar for some time and Saturday or
Sunday left Atkinson together and
are over somewhere in the vicinity of
Alliance. Bacon’s wife was in
O’Neill Monday enlisting the aid of
the county authorities to apprehend
her fleeing husband and his affinity,
who is a young unmarried woman.
She will have him arrested if caught
on the grounds of desertion, while the
formal chaige against the Bolles wom
an is of a statutory nature.
They were traced to Crawford and
thence down to Alliance but have not
been arrested yet.
County Wins Suit.
An echo of the Slattery murder
trial is heard again in a late decision
of the supreme court. Rafe Shaw
brought suit against Holt couuty for
services as a special bailiff during that
trial and secured judgment in the dis
trict court for $208.60. The supreme
court reverses the judgment of the
district court of this county and dis
misses the case, holding that there is
no authority in law for a district
judge to appoint a special bailiff to
hold a witness for an indelicate period
In this case, James J. Thompson, a
witness for the state, failed to furnish
bond for $1,000 to appear at the trial
and Shaw was appointed a special
bailiff and had Thompson in custody
for aperiod of eighty-eight days. He
tiled a claim for the services and the
same was not allowed when suit was
brought in district court. The plain
tiff in this case is a son of the murder
ed man, Henry Shaw, and the witness
Thompson was working for the
Shawsi
County Attorney Whelan received
notice yesterday from the clerk of the
supreme court of the reversal of judg
ment and dismissal of the case.
The Live Stock Market
South Omaha, January 24, 1911.—
The cattle market has been holding
remarkably steady for the past ten
days. There has been a good demand
for all desirable cattle. The outlet
for cows and butcher stock has been
broad and all offerings have been
readily taken at prices that were gen
erally Arm. The feeder demand is also
keeping up and the values, we think,
are relatively much too high as com
pared with the present price of fat
cattle. However there seems to be
plenty of buyers at these prices.
We quote:
Fair to choice beeves. 5.85(a) 6 60
Others down to. 4 90
Oornfed cows and heifers up to 5.25
Fair to good . 3.75@ 4.40
canners and cutters. 3 00(a) 3.50
Veal calves.4.00(g> 8 25
Bulls, slags,etc. 3.30(a) 4 90
Good to choice feeders.5.00(a) 5 90
Others down to. 3.50
Stock heifers. 3 50@ 4.50
The hog market is 25 to 30c lower
than it was on the 19th Inst.
Receipts have been showing up a
little more liberal, but we do not
think will be sufficient to put prices
down much more. Bnlk $7.55 to 7.65,
top 7 70.
The past week has shown declining
values at the sheep barn. Our prices
are relatively high compared with
other markets. We do not look for
much of a change this week.
Wrestler Tosses Three.
The handicap at the opera house
last Thursday night was easily won by
the professional wrestler, C. A. Tem
ple, known as Young Gotch. The
agreement stipulated that Temple
was to throw the three local men,
Charley Peterson, Tom Donlon and
Tom Coyne, which he accomplished in
considerably less than the allotted
time. The exhibition drew a large
crowd, many coming in from the
country and also from adjacent towns.
Temple met his match at Fremont
Tuesday night when he failed to put
Tom Gately, champion of the state,
down in one hour.
