OFFICER HAS
FIGHT MAKING
All ARREST
Officer Frank Neumann and
Charles Kopisckie Have Lively
Mixup at Soennichsen's.
From Wednesday' Pally.
There was quiti a lively lime
for a few minutes last evening in
the store of IT. M. Soennichsen,
when Charles Kopisckie mixed
with Ollicer Frank Neumann, and
a a result of the encounter both
of tin parties presented a very
battered appearance. The trouble
a far as can be learned, arose
oer the killing of the dog that
bit the little Pries girl a few
days ago, as the two men were
discussing this, and the officer
told Kopisckie that his dog was
dangerous to the safety of the
public and .should be killed.
This statement seemed to
aimer the owner of the dog, as
be swore at the officer, and after
a few remarks Neumann started
out of the door, with Kopisckie
following, and he struck the
officer, knocking him out onto
the walk. Neumann went back
into the store to place the man
under arrest and they mixed
airain, in which the policeman
suffered the vvor.-t of the melee,
being pushed over a box thai
was standing near and suffering
a severe injury to his forehead,
and lie was used rather rough by
Kopisckie while in this position.
When the officer recovered his
feet be called "on several parties
to assist him, but they declined
and thereby made themselves
liable to a line for failure to as
sist an officer in the discharge of
his duties.
Mr. Neumann summoned Mer
chant Police Fitzpatrick, who
was oil the street at the time and
he hastened over to the store,
where they got Kopisckie down
on the lloor, but he still con
tinued his resistance. Finally,
after the man was subdued, his
;lpeaiance was secured by II. M.
Soennichsen, the owner of the
store going hi bond.
iHiring the fracas Officer Neu
mann drew his revolver, being
compelled to ue the butt end of
it on the man he was seeking to
place under arrest, and the ap
pearance of the artillery had a
very terrifying effect cn the by
standers who bad gathered
around, and one of the young
men did rot stop running until
be reached the Gei.e corner,
where he surveyed the battle
from afar, while one of the boys
in the store sought safety by
holding up a bolt of linen goods
to ward ufT the bullets in case
the officer tired.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock the
case was brought to trial before
Judge Archer and there were
quite a large number in attend
ance. Officer Neumann gave his
side of the story, as well as
Kopisckie,' who alleged that Neu
mann struck him lirst, and that
he acted in self defense. The
court, after hearing the testi
mony of the two principals, as
well as Nelson ltenner, who saw
Kopisckie knock Neumann down
on the sidewalk, decided that
Kopisckie was guilty as charged
an assessed him a line of $25 and
costs. Kopisckie will try and
secure a bond of $100 to have the
matter appealed to a higher
court, he states.

"THE SHEPHERD
OF THE HILLS"
COMING SOON
This Most Interesting Play Will
Be at the Parmele Theater
Friday, April 3.
"The Shepherd of the Hills
die dramatization of Harold Hell
Wright's novel, which holds the
record for the largest sales of
any American work of fiction,
which has been made by Mr.
Wright, with the assistance of
Klsbery V. Heynolds, will be seen
at the Parmele theater Friday,
April 3.
The scenes of the play are laid
anioner the Ozark mountains of
Missouri. It is a story of the
hills and the simple life, yet it
has plenty of excitement and an
air of mystery that will hold the
auditor from beginning to end.
The story has to do with the
father of an artist, who, tired of
city life, goes into the Ozarks for
peace and quietude. He learns of
a grevious sin committed by hi
son, whom he mourns as dead.
The son hail visited the hills
some years before, when he fell
in love with a simple country girl.
He painted her picture and when
he went back to the city, desert
ing the girl, he earned fame be
cause of the canvas. The girl.
deserted and broken-hearted,
dies, leaving behind her a half
witted son.
It is to the home of this dead
and wronged girl that the father
of the artist comes, and here he
is emploed to watch the sheep.
He grows to love the country and
its people, and he and the half
witted boy, pete, become friends.
Then there is a love story run
ning through the play that adds
to its attractiveness. It is the
love of a young giant of the hills
for Sammy Lane, a girl of un
usual qualities.
There are several characters
whose quaint humor is a decided
novelty. Taken as a whole, the
play promises to prove a refresh
ing change from the' general run
of dramatic attractions this sea
son. Messrs. (iaskui ami Mac-
Vitty, the producers, are said to
have given the play an elaborate
mounting, the mountains of the
Ozark affording an opportunity
for some fine examples of the
scenic painter's art. The cast has
been selected for their peculiar
fitness for each style.

HIDE STEALERS
BROUGHT
TO THIS GITY
Ben Tangeman and John Jones
Arrested at South Omaha on
Charge of Stealing Hides.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Last evening Sheriff Ouinton
returned from South Omaha,
bringing with him lien Tange
man and John and Dick Jones.
Tangeman and John Jones beinn
charged with stealing the hide
from the salughter house of (ieo.
Thomas & Co., north of this city.
on the Platte bottom road lat
Friday night. The men were ap
prehended at. the residence of Al
bert Harkins, a brother-in-law of
the Jones', at Fourteenth and
Missouri avenue, South Omaha,
where thev had their belongings
stowed in the barn of Mr. Har
kins.
It seems that the two men had
borrowed the team of Al Harkin
and the" harness belonging to
John Harkins, and with a spring
wagon drove into Plattsmouth on
last Friday morning and on the
trip broke a part of the harness
and were compelled to patch it up
in order to get back to South
Omaha. There was no siirn found
of the hides stolen, however, but
the authorities are confident they
have the right men. although the
third man in the parly has not
yet been apprehended. Dick
Jones was apparently not in
volved in the trouble in any way.
and his -storj is given credence
by the authorities and he wiil not
be detained here with the
prisoners.
The third member of the party
is the one who is supposed to
have secured the hides to dispose
of for the gang and a lookout is
being kept for him. The sheriff
was assisted in bringing the pris
oners here by A. J. Lepinski, one
of the South Omaha detective
force, as the sheriff did not de
sire the men to have an oppor
tunity of conversing- together, as
they were arrested separately
and had no time to patch up a
storv between themselves.
The men were lodged in jail
over night and will probably he
given their preliminary hearing
omorrovv. The bides stolen
were quite valuable and the total
value is sufficient to warrant the
men getting a good stiff sentence
if found guilty.
IRE HIGH PRICED
CUSS COUNTY LAND SOLD
From Wednesday's Daily.
Some more of the valuable
farming land of Cass county has
changed hands in the past few
days, Oeorge Horn having dis
posed of his forty acres of fine
fanning land that adjoins the
county farm west of this city, to
Jacob P. Falter, for which Mr.
Falter paid the price of .?G.G00. or
?lf5 per acre. This land is
without any improvements upon
it, but is one of the most valuable
pieces of farming land in this lo
cality. This would have made a
splendid addition to the county
farm, and several years ago could
have been purchased for ST5 an
acre, but the person who pur
chases it in the future will have
to pay S200 an acre for it, as the
value of the land is constantly
advancing, in keeping with the
other high-priced productive
farms of the county.
Recovers From the Grippe.
From Tuesday's Daily,
Miss Hazel luey, who for the
past three days has been con
fined to her home suffering from
an attack of the grippe, was able
today to resume here duties as a
teacher in the city schools. The
enforced absence of Miss Tuey
has been a matter of much re
gret among her friends, and now
that she is able to be up and at
her school they ar-very much
pleased.
