Circumstances Attending the Ar
rest of Neilson, Alias
Leonard.
Dknveu.CoIo., Dec. 17. A. C. Neilson,
alias J. M. LeorarJ, is the name of a man
urrcstcd in Denver, charged with opium
smuggling. On Tuesday last Mark
Harding, a special agent of the treausury
department, reported to United States
Marshal 1 1 i 1 1 that lie suspicioned Neilnon'8
prenenf:e in thin city. Harding had a
copy of a way hill from the St. Paul,
Minneapolis fc Manitoba railway for
Home freight shipped at IVittineau, Dak.,
or this city. The consignors claimed
that the freight consisted of household
goods. This consignment was directed
".A. 0. Neilson, Denver, Colo.,' and
weighed MO pounds. Deputy Marshal
Currier ;r::teded to the Union Pacific
freight ofhYe for the purpose of making
the arrest when the goods were called
for. On Wednesday a stranger with ill
fitting clothes aked for the goods con
fcigned to Neilson, and was placed under
arrest. Neilson's trunk at the Metropoli
tan hotel whs subsequently searched and
found to contiiiu 147 packages of pre
pared opium, amounting to seventy-three
pounds. The prisoner waived examina
tion when arraigned before the commis
sionei, ami was taken Friday night by
ollictrs to St. I'aul.
Br. Pall, Dec. 10. There u every
reason to belieye that the smutrglintr
conspiracy which United States officials
here discovered by the information of
one of the band arrested at Denver, and
the subsequent seizure of 800 pounds of
opium at St. Viacint is more far-reaching
and of vastly greater proportions than at
first proposed. It is certain that the
operations of the smugglers were not
confined to opium, but that large quan
titics of silks and other costly fabrjes
from China had been landed in Iiritish
Columbia and brought to various points
on the Canadian Pacific railroad and con
signed to smugglers. It Is known that
government officers have recently . seized
several stiinll lots of sjlks that are to be
disposed of to St. Paul and Minneapolis
merchants. The officials are prcoerving
the utmost secrecy in the hope of catch
ing more of the smugglers..
A Protest From Utah.
Salt Laics City, Djc. 18. The liberal
committee issued yesterday the following
address to the country.
Salt Lake City, Dec. 17, 1888. The
liberal territorial committee, representing
republicans and democrats alike, desire
to call the attention of the country
to ' the fact that the gentih-s of
Utah unanimously oppose the Mormon
state scheme, recently endorsed by the
democratic congressional caucus,. We
are confronted by a condition not a
theory. Polygamy is not dead- The
law is nit supreme. Two hundred and
thirty-four indictments were found at the
present teim of court, as proved for vio
lations of the United States statutes, de
signed to suppress polygamy and polyga
mous living- To give Utah statehood
i . , ' i i ..
WOUlU rct:llU progress, ucpretiaic yaiucs,
perpetuate polygamy an I hand the terri
tory over to the Monuor; presthood, We
call upon patriotic citizens everywhere
to unite in a strong protest to congress
against the proposed action. The admis
sion of Utah to statehood would be a
crimo against Americans.
Signed. O. W. Powers,
Chairman.

He Had to Walk Home.
An interesting story was related to
the reporter this morning concerning a
young man of this city and a little love
drama in which ho is the star. As severe
a trial, because he only loved a girl a
little, he should not have been obliged
to endure, but as such Is the case with
many under similar circumstances, he
must practice patience and tolerate
the joke and the many jests
now brought to bear on account of
it. We can only sympathize with him
and offer a helping hand to bring the
conspirators to task for their unbecoming
conduct. The young man's name is with
held for fear that if it were
given away his patience would be tested
still more. This fellow loves a lassie
about eight miles south of the city
and his regular trips in that direction are
numerous, so much so, that he is not the
only person who knows the whearabouts
of the attraction, and several of his
friendsjiu the city, through curiosity,
have enouired and learned that a
young lady lives about eight miles dis
tant and that she is the attraction. As
the boys found this city too quiet for
their entertainment last Sunday, they de
cided on a course which they djd not
miscalculate on affording them much
amusement. At the regular hour
Sunday evening he started out for
the young lady's home, and was
followed a short time later by some of
his friends. When they arrived at his
destination they found hi horse tied and
it appeared to be under the impression
thu it was in for an all night stand, and
it would not hayo been mistaken, no
doubt, had not tho boy interrupted the
faithful animal and moyed it on. They
found more favorable quarters in a neigh
bor's barn, and tied it there, without
notifying any one or asking
apy questions, to await the arrival of
its thoughtless master. The desired work
was then complete and the boys
returned to the city to await
the results, When the clock announced
the wee sina' hours, the young fellow
then attired himself preparatory to tak
ing his departure. lie reached the spot
where he left his faithful horse many
hours before, and U0 fjrst disagreeable
thought of the night passed through his
head. "Some sinner has stolen my rig,
and what am I to do now?" After a
thorough sea ch of the premises, the only
thing left for hiro to do was to walk
honio, and the distance seemed much too
"Long" to suit him, but he made the
best of his misfortune and started out.
Yesterday he secured another rig and
started out in search, pf tfye other. He
scoured the country in that vicinity, and
much to his delight, found the animal.
As tj)e farmer could not explain, how the
rig carne in his tjarn, the young man is
yet puzzled to HQW ow it got there.
Warden flyers Resigqs.
"Warden llyers tendered his resignation
yesterday to take effect on the first day of
January, and asks leave of absence until
that date. Deputy Warden Hopkins was
appointed to act as warden during the
absence pf Mr. Hyefj, and he will have
temporary charge' of affairs at the state
peuitentiary. No reason has been given
for the resignation and the cause is a
matter of conjecture only. Parties who
pretend to know say that the step is due
to the well known differences existing
between him and the governor. The
truth will doubtless come to the surface
in a few days. Omaha Ree,
Mr. Hyers and fanply are well known
in this city, haying residedjhere for sever
al years. He filled the office of county
sheriff here for a time, and all who form
ed the acquaintance of the family speak
in the highest terms of them. Since Mr.
Hycrs has resigned, we trust that he may
decide to return to Plattsmouth and
make this his future home.
