The Stoik'8 Visit.
Everybody down town this after
noon noticed the wild and reckless
abandon w ith which Colonel Henry C.
McMaken drove about the streets and
everyone remarked upon the spirit of
youthfulness which had so suddenly
come upon him but few divined the
cause. He was taken to task by ye
reporter who wanted to know what
had happened so suddenly restore
the germ of youth to his old friend.
The colonel replied without batting
an eye that he had a right to act up
and the cause of it was the arrival at
the home of C. W. Baylor of a brand
new son. This opened the eyes of the
reporter and when he heard people
telling of the generous loads of coal
which the' had received this day the
cause was more apparent. Grandpa
McMaken feels mighty fine over the
advent of the young man and Papa
Baylor is not one bit behind grand-

TURE Mil JONES
Poisall the Only One of the Men
Still at Large
Sheriff Qulnton last evening add
ed another one to those who have
been wanted for the trouble in an
uptown saloon last Saturday night
when he tooK John Jones Into cus
tody, Jones being taken at the grad
ing ramp of George Poisall near Ce
dar Creek. He made no resistance
but came back to the city peaceably
aud was installed in a call at the
county Jail for safe keeping; He Is
suffering from a bullet wound In the
leg which he received at the time
of the fracas.
When asked by Deputy Manspeak"i
why he was limping about, Join
replied that a horse had kicked him.
That was last night but this morning
he was anxious to have the deputy
summon a surgeon to- look after his
Injury. Mnns;:eaker told him he had
never had to hae a surgeon for a
horses's kick but his humor did not
appeal to Jones for a minute. It Is
learned that Jones had the bullet
removed from his leg by a surgeon In
Omaha shortly after leaving here on
Saturday.
Jones, Ilerold and Egan were all
arraigned this morning In county
court before Judge Beeson, C. II.
Taylor appearing for the state In the
absence of County Attorney Ramsey,
and the complaint read to them.
There are three counts in the com
plaint including one charging drunk
enness, one assault and another re
sisting and abusing an officer. The
boys all entered a plea of guilty to
the first count that of drunkenness
and plead not guilty to the other two
charges. Jones seemed in doubt as
to whether to plead guilty or not
but he finally made up his mind to
plead not guilty. He stated that be
didn't know whether he was guilty
or not as about all he remembered
was being knocked Into a corner and
getting the bullet wound In the leg.
Judge Beeson made the usual In
quiries as to whether the boys were
ready for trial and found they had
no attorney and that the cbbg could
not be taken up until at least to
morrow. He therefore remanded
them to Jail until tomorrow (Thurs
day) morning at 10 o'clock and fixed
the bond for the appearance of the
hoys at $300 cadi. They returned
to Jail in company with Deputy Man
speaker. The only one of the quartette not
now In the hands of the officers Is
Harry Poisall and the officers are
confident that he will be taken be
fore a very great while. A close
lookout is being kept for him and
his appearance will be the signal for
his being put under arrest.
It is apparent that the boys are
now commencing to realize the se
rious situation Into which they have
gotten themselves and that they stand
an excellent chance of being severely
punished for their foolishness. The
determination of tho officers to up
hold the law means that there will
be no let up In the prosecution and
(hat a severe penalty will be asked
for.
Hearing Divorce Case.
In district court today Judge Travis
is hearing the divorce case of Nellie
Brittaln against Walter Brlttaln and
the case is being a hard fought one.
There is quite a bit of acrimony dis
played between the parties and the
case Is. warmly contested. The case
was brought by Mrs. Brittaln who
asked the custody of the two children
of the union, Oda Doris, aged 3 years
and Alta Pearl, aged 1 year. The
ground on which the divorce was
sought was non-suport, the petition
setting forth that the defendant was
an employe of the Burlington road
and earned sufficient money to take
care of the plaintiff and the children
but that he refused to to so. The
defendant through his counsel, Judge
Archer filed an answer in which he
made counter- allegations denying
that the plaintiff was a woman of
'taste habits but asserting that she
a tociated with bad company and per
.v.s of Ill-repute. The defendant
also alleged that the plaintiff had
been guilty of extreme cruelty to
the defendant In that she had struck
him at times and abused him and
that she was a person of vicious tem
per and vulgar habits. The defend
ant also asked the custody of the
minor children of the pair and al
leged the mother was not a fit per
son to have their care and custody.
The hearing of the case took up the
morning and a good part of tho af
ternoon, there being a great many
witnesses present for both sides. This
was the only matter which Judge
Travis passed upon today.
