John II. IS.iiK-r, of Louisville, was ar

posed of th: lit-Mt men in the county, alter
a thorough examination, were convinced
of Mr, liauei'H innocence and found a
1 i 1 1 against anotlier party, thus Uauer
WjM a free man . On Friday evening ol
T.it wei k Mr. Kline, without warrant or
pretence of one, sent the constable out
from Louisvi le with orders to arrest
Uauer and lirin liim in. On finding him
Uauer rafused to fo without a warrant
put said he would appear at Klnifsollice
the next morning at 10 oclock, which ho
did; he asked the justice what was want
ed and Kline told him he wanted $2,000,
that ho had tiled a complaint in Justice
Stiles court in Plattsmouth. but that he
would dismiss if he would pay hiui that
amount of money otherwise lie would
push him to the wall and tli'u statement
he made in the presence of IJauurs at
torney, Mr, Wooley. liauer refused to
give up his money and was held all day
until Constable Ki eeliler came up with a
warrant ami arrested him on the charge
ol beiu; a fugatiye from justice, brought
him to Flattsmouth and landed h'ui m
the county jail. His attorneys Messrs.
Wooley and Heesou & lloot applied for
a writ of habe;is corpus, h id a healing
before his honor, Judge Chapman, at 10
o'clock this morning, which resulted in
Mr. Bauer being made a free man.
The court's hatred of frauds and per
secutions asserted itself and he tojk oc
casion to use some pretty strong language.
Among other things the judge said:
"This court has personal knowledge of
many things connected with this matter.
This court knows how it was imposed
upon and deceived, into calling a grand
jury to investigate this matter and the
Ci-frt was imposed upon and she county
yiTimposed upon and put to a great ex
pense for nothing. Now an uttempt 18
made to extort money from this man in a
way that is simply an outrage which thin
court cannot countenance and I shall
discharge the prisoner."
This is chapter number one and we
aro promised that chapter number two
will open wide the doors of the peniten
tiary for some very prominent people be
fore this case is done with. The IIekald
will be fair however and will not an
ticipate the testimony in advance, but the
people can rest assured that the truth
will come out in tiuw aud that justice
long defrayed w;ll yet place its victims
upon the rack.
Our New Bridge.
The material for a wagun bridge across
the Missouri river wdl be on the ground
after May 10th and its construction
ppeedily pushed to complctior. That
this bridge will be of incalculable bene
fit to the tradesmen of Plattsmouth is
certain. It is authoratatively stated by
gentlemen of conservative judgment that
one-sixth of the cnt;re trade of Nebraska
City is drawn from Fremont county,
Iuwa, by the pontoon bridge at that
place. At Leavenworth, Kan., a flrst
class pontoon bridge spans the river, and
was recently inspected by the committer
from Plattsmouth that went to St. Louis
(o confer with the Missouri Pacific peo
ple relating to the new railroad from
Union to Omaha via Plattsmouth. That
bridge is built upon pileing across just
such a bar as the one in front of our city,
and the pontoon proper is not over 00
yards in width, built with a draw, and
presents the appearance of a substantial
wagon bridge, whic!i it is. River engi
neers say the high pileing of this Lcaven
worth bridge will stand the high waters
of the Missouri. Winn this bridge is
built at Plattsmouth it will drain the
produce trade from Birtlet, in Fremont
county, to Ilinton, in Mills county, as
fine a farming and stock district as there
is in the west. It will be an outlet to those
farmers to reach the Plattsmouth stock
yards with their cattle and hogs and ship
to South Omaha, a distance of some
sixteen miles, saving the long haul over
the St. Joe road anil the toll across the
U. P. bridge at Omaha. All this will
bring our people trade, produce, ducats!
And now if our merchants cannot wake
up to the importance of the profitable
field, we guarantee that others will see
it, and that the capacity of the Platts
nionth market will be doubled. -There
is millions in it, and none are so blind as
those who are born blind.

ANOTHER BIG BOOM.
Plattsmouth Will Lead the Pro- j
cession Before tho Year 1
i
Closes.
The Chicago St. Paul & Kansas City
Road Will Give us Another Out
lot to tho East and South.
The Hkkam) mentioned a few days
ago that the Chicago, St. Paul fc Kansas
City, better known as the Diagonal line,
had concluded to build from their main
line at Savannah, Missouri, to Omaha,
From Savannah a St. Joe dispatch says:
"The route will be through Andrew
county to Maitland in Holt county thence
to Tarkio, in Atchison county. From
Taikio the line will go to Plattsmouth,
Nebraska, crossing the Missouri river on
i new bridge to be built by the Diagonal
and thence to Omaha. This will give a
hh'Tt line to Kansas City and a route but
a little longer than the Q' to Chicago."
The IIkkai.o had tho pleasure of meet
ing a gentleman last evening who in
formed us that tho line had all been
looked over from Omaha ' via Platts
mouth and that arrangements were pend
ing for a survey of the route.
Nebraska City is wide awake and
has invited the millionaire president of
the new line, David Itankin, esq., of
Tarkio, to meet them in person, or by
agent, at the meeting of the board of
trade Monday night. The Press says
that Carl. Morton, of that city, is in re
ceipt of a letter from President Rank
in's priyate secretary, asking if Nebraska
City wants the road, and implying that
the matter can be managed if she does.
The Herald believes some of our peo
ple should be in Nebraska City Monday
night, and that the board of trade
should call a meeting and send a com
mittee at once to wait upon the officials
of the road and sec what can be done in
the p cruises. A b tter bridge can be
built here, and for far less money, than
at Nebraska City. If our people w;U
act wisely aud at once, we believe the
new line can be brought here.
Burglar Trap at Auburn.
Auburn l'ost
A few months ago Roscow Brother's
geneial merchandise stor2 was burglariz
ed for a third time since last July. Lately
the proprietor has kept under the counter
a loaded gun fastened by a wire so that
any attempt to open the money drawer
would discharge the weapon. This
morning when the store was opened a
dead man was found behind the drawer.
Five buckshots had entered the left side
of the back near the heart and one had
broken the left arm.
The man had been seen in the vicinity
of the town about two weeka and was
working in the country most of the time.
He gave the name George Woods and
claimed to be from Decatur county, Iowa,
lie was obout i5 years of age, light com
plexioned, had gray eyes and prominent
features and was five feet two inches tall
He wore brown checkered trousers and
a blnck and brown striped coat. A cross
anchor and shield were tattooed on each
arm and in addition on the right was a
drawing of a woman a . id on the left the
inscription "In memory of mother."
The man weighed about 125 pounds.
A coroner's inquest will be held this
afternoon.
An entrance to the store was gained
through a back window and just inside
was found a hat and a pair of shoes,
both too large for the man and supposed
to belong to a companion . One arrest
for complicity in breaking into the store
was made this morning, but the man was
discharged for lnck of testimony. The
peopl here are in sympathy with the
Iloscow brothers and think burg'aries
will be less frequent in future.
An Impending Strike.
The telegraph informs us that a strike
of miners throughout northern and mid
dle Illinois fields was decided upon after
midnight last night. The joint confer
ence of miners and operators split upon
the question of including day laborers
in the scheme of profit sharing, the own
ers declaring there was no margin for the
laborers. An executive session of four
hours by the workmen's representatives
followed the adjournment of the joint
conference. The decision to strike was
the result. The Indianapolis miners and
operators also failed to reach an under
standing and a strike is not improbable.
A Razor Thief.
"Bum" Kelley who has been in jail
everal times this winter for petty thiev
ing at Joe Klein's and .S & C. Mayer'i
was arrested again this morning on the
charge of breaking in to Mr. Hub. ley's
barber shop and purloining some razors.
Sometime last night a n entrance was
gained to Kuhney's shop by raising a
rear window and after taking a dry shave
he pocketed three razors and left by
opening the front doors. lie was identi
fied today by the bad condition of his
j face and was taken in by Johny Fitz
; patrick and Mr. Kuhney. The razors
, were found in his poscsession ani Mr.
Kelley wis given another opportunity of
yiewing the familiar walls of the city
bas'ile.

for tho purpose of renting n room. Mrs.

I,;. to yesterday afternoon the police
brought ' the atntiou a man who gave
his n.:.a; as Charles Mun.son and occu
palio i ;.; : r.d iter. The right side of
the :.i:: :' face was very badly scratched,
and ; . vh; ad ws in the same condi

a goug- r i.low, and his right eye is dis
colored. The assistant chief af detec
tives put the man in the sweat liox with
a very unsatisfactory result. Ho claims
to have arrived in the city Thursday of
last week, but could r.ot tell who it was
that scratched him, or when or where it
happened. He was locked up. The
scratches on his face look as if they
might, have been made within the List
fo;y-i-;ght hours, and to the police this
is a strong indication that they have the
right man.
Kiuiiii.-r Case.
Wasiiiv."ti'v. M 0. Iii the Kemm
ler habeas corpus case, af ter several of
the justices had asked Mr. Sherman
questions. Chief Justice Fuller an
nounced that the application for a writ
f habeas corpus could not properly be
granted, but that the court would hear
an application for a writ of error on
May s. The granting of a writ of error
in the case would have the effect of re
opening the expert testimony taken by
the electrical commission. The record
of the commission would be produced
and the court would prescribe under
what conditions Kemmler shall be exe
cuted. A Writ Granted.

the room with kerosene and evidently
intended burning the housa. Jealousy
is said to be the cause.

At tho M. E. Church.
I MONKAV.
Tho following is the discourse at the
M. K. church yesterday:
Psalms 120: 3 "For the Lord has done
great things for us; whereof we are glad."
The earnest desire and loning of every
christian heart is to love Ud more; be
come more like Jesus, and to do mere for
the gloy of (bid, and humanity. But
we havo felt the tendency to become
cold in our affections toward God and
indifference; in our interest in the Re
deemer's Kingdom. Our text suggests a
remedy for that indifference; which
springs from a lack of love to God.
"Love knows no burdens and feels no
sacrifices." Therefore if we lovo God
sufficiently, we will work for his glory.
It is written "We loye God because He
first loved us." Jesus said, ''he that isfor
giveu most will love most." Wo learn
from thet-e declarutiots that our sense of
obligation measures our love, and our
love determines our activity in the
Muster's vineyard. The mora we ap
preciate what God has done for us, the
more keenly wefeel our sense of obliga
tion to him. Our text says we are glad for
what God has done for us; that is, we
appreciate what he has done. There aro
