ilarry Hickson, the young man who
endeavored to show how tough he was
by flashing a revolver in Louis Olsen's
pool and billiard hall Wednesday
evening, waa arrested by Marshal
Slater about 5 o'clock last evening- He
was escorted before Judge Archer this
afterpoon and given an opportunity to
explain matters. When the court had
concluded questioning the prisoner,
his honor proceeded to outline
most graphically the evil re
results which so frequently attend the
course he had pursued, and concluded
his remarks by pronouncing a fine of
tl and costs, which will amount in all
to about 95.60. In the absence of the
necessary wherewithal!, young Hick
son will stay with Jailor McBride for a
few days.
Hickson has been working for the
Burlington as a section hand. He
called at Manspeaker'u livery barn
yesterday morning and hired a rig
with which to drive out into the
country promising to return in an
hour. The day wore on and the team
waa not returned, and, fearing there
was something wrong, the owner no
tified the officers. Shortly before 5
o'clock Marshal Slater's eagle eye spied
the fellow skulking along near the old
canning factory site evidently try
ing to avoid the officers,
In a very few moments
Hickson was "seeing things" through
the bars of the jail. He refused. to tell
where he had left the team, but the
outfit was found several hours later
The horses were tied to a telephone
pole on Wintersteen hill. It is not
known whether it was his object to
steal the team or merely to get out of
paying for their use.
He was fined only on the charge of
disturbing the peace, the complaint
being made by the proprietor of the
billiard hall.
Sheriff Ueitrojt Liquor.
By order of the district court, Sher
Iff Wheeler was called upon to perform
a duty this afternoon which many of
the bystanders greatly regretted. Last
fall, it will be remembered, the officers
pounced upon William Fullride's es
tablishment at Nehawka and captured
a large supply of choice liquors
which the proprietor was trying
to sell without a license. The
court fined Fullride $100 and ordered
the sheriff to destrov the liquor. This
afternoon the boxes and jugs of fancy
juice were quietly carried out of the
sheriff's office and placed near an open
ing of the sewer in the court house lawn
Then Sheriff Wheeler began the ardu
ous task of pulling the corks and per
mlttlng the liquor to run into the
sewer. Heads aopeared from the court
house windows and nearby buildings
anxiously watching the proceedings,
while many of the bystanders jokingly
expressed their protests against such
unnecessary destruction of "good
tuff," many of them even offering to
take charge of some of the bottles and
thus save the sheriff the trouble of
opening them. However, the order
of the court had to be carried out, and
they could not be accommodated.

Good Mosquito Story.
Posey Messersmith was telling his
friend9 today about a narrow escape
he had last night from being eaten up
by moequitoa. He has a fine patch of
tomato plants at his place, and when
the cold wind came up during the
night he grabbed some gunny sacks
and rushed out to cover them up, fear
ing they would be destroyed by frost.
On the way he noticed what appeared
to be a big, black cloud coming di
rectly toward him. Posey has read a
great deal about tornadoes and
cyclones, and concluding that his life
was more valuable than all the tomato
plants be could raise In ten years, he
dropped the sacks and dashed back to
the house as fast aa his feet could carry
him. Through the window he viewed
a magnificent sight. It was a swarm
of mosquitos much larger than his
house, and they lingered around the
premises for a few minutes waiting for
him to come out. However, they
finally continued their flight eastward,
and as they disappeared in the dis
tance Posey heaved a sigh of relief.

Very beautiful and perfect in its ap
pointrneuts was the wedding of Miss

tropical plants, tho different heights
and breadth of leaves with their ex
qui.-ito shades of tender green forrniog
a background of exceeding beauty for
tho artistic grouping of the bridal
party.
An elaborate arrangement of broad
whito satin ribbons designated the
neats reserved for tho relatives. Mies
Kessler at the organ played appropri
ate selections the triumphant strains
of Mendelssohn's wedding march peal

bunches of pink and white poppies
Miss Walker as maid of honor, wearing

It is needless to say that tho hrido

with severe simplicity tho rich folds
of satin falling most gracefully, the

of tho room whero the elegant and
costly presents were displayed. Lovely
point lace, cut glass fragile china,
pictures and quantities of silver at
testing the love and esteem of friends
at home and abroad. Many
congratulatory telegrams were also re

tinct color scheme. The room where
the bridal p irty stood was beautifully
decorated in green poppies, roses,
ferns, asparagus and trailing vines of

Speaking of tho robbery which oc
curred noar Hradshaw Wednesday
evening, tbe State Journal says:
"A lone highwayman went through
the Portland and Dead wood sleeping
cars on train No. 11 at 1 :10 yesterday
morning, aud dropped off the train
one miles west of iirndhaw, making
his esoapo in tbe d irKnoss. From ver
ified reports it teems that he secured
about $i. He got on the train at
York, it is belie ved, presenting a ticket
to Aurora. Ho entered the c'aair car
and sat there for a f-jw moments. Then
he went out on tho platform, disguised
his faco with a mask and went into tho
sleeping cars. Finding Sleeping Car
Conductors Landauer and Cooper he
ordered tliem at the point of a gun to
proceed ahead of him, whilo he com
manded pissengers in tbe berths to
donate their money. The conductors
awakened the t-leeping passengers
while tho rob! or took their pocket
books. So far as known he took no
jewelery, seeming well satir-licd to get
the money, lie did not shoot anyone,
hut threatened to. The latest list of
losses follows:
"E. P. McMulleii, Spokane, .Vi; F.
M. Wooldbridge, Harrison. Mo., $ti(l;
N. Soudale (address not given) $"; J.
Kvors and wife, known as Miss Isa
bella Henderson, (an actress) of Hel
ena, Mont.,$-Vi; N. W. Sherry, Omaha,
$1; Conductor Landauor. $'.
"l'assengeis in the coaches ahead
wore not molested. After securing tho
booty the robber calmly pulled the air
brake cord, brought the train to a
stop and jumped oil. Tho train stopped
one mile west of Uradshaw. The rob
ber alighted on the south side, and
the fireman in the engine says he saw
two men standing beside the track
waiting for him. The train started
and tho men wore lost to view, but one.
of the trainmen says he saw them
start south on foot.
"No. 11 was in charge of Engineer
Finch and Conductor Green. As soon
as a telegraph ollieo could bo reached
tho facts were reported to the railroad
officials. Within ono hour after tho
robbery Superintendent Hignell had
received tho news, had arranged to
pursue the robbers and hal communi
cated tho facts then known to General
Manager Holdrege, who authorized
him at once to offer a reward of Sfc-jUO
for the arrest and conviction of tho
thioves."

The Stewart estate muddle, which
is now in tho court of Lancaster
county, seems far from being settled.
Speaking in regard to the latest de
velopments in the case, tho State
Journal says:
Louis A. Ksensky has filet a petition
in county court alleging that the es
tate of Robert M. Stewart, deceased.
owes him an unnamed sum of money.
and asking the removal of tho admin
istrix, Mrs. Annie M. Stewart. Tho
petitioner shows to tho court that the
daughters of llobert Stewart, have ap
peared in court alleging that Annie M.
Stewart was not the wife of tho de
ceased, and that they object to her
administration of the estate, as well
as to allowances prayed for. The peti
tioner says the estate is now on the
verge of proceedings which endangers
the claim he holds against it. It is
alleged that Mrs. Stewart received
$l,2o0 in settlement with the Burling
ton for her husband's death. The
court required her to give a bond in
the sum of $1,000, and it is alleged that
she has failed to com pi y. Mr. Ksensky
prays for an ord3r summarily remov
ing the administrix.
Some time ago Frederick Shepherd,
attorney for two daughters of Stewart,
who reside in England, filed an action
in county court to secure the dismissal
of Mrs. Annie M. Stewart as adminis
tratrix, alleging that she was not the
legal wife of Robert Stewart, late of
Havelock. It was alleged that Stew
art left a wife in England. The Eng
lish wife is said to be an inmate of an
insane asylum. Two daughters learn-
ing of their father's death, investi
gated tho matter and the above suit
resulted. In this action tho attorneys
have stated that thoro is not the
slightest blame to bo attached to Mrs.
Stewart and that if the facts alleged
should prove to be true it is main
laiued that she knew nothing of hor
husband having a wife in England.
