A good but grim ono is told on
Justice J. H. Conley and Constable
J. H. Covert , with perhaps a share of
the responsibility for the transaction
resting on Justice 0. F. Eiseley. The
latter had a judgment against a Mrs.
Wamsley which he desired to have re
uewed. Ho therefore went before
Justice Conloy and made out the
proper papers , which were given to Con
stable Covert to serve. The constable
drove out into the country 11 miles yesterday
torday to make the service only to learn
that the defendant to the suit had been
dead for five yoars. Another feature of
the joke is that after the constable had
started on hia errand Justice Conley
was looking for him with the ghostly
information that the parly on whom
the papers were to be served was in
town and the drive would not lnive to
hti undertaken. The question of coMs
is worrying the olllcers some , but they
think it is up to the plain iff , Justice
Elneloy , to make it right for their time
and oxponso.

WB ngrrcd with Mr. .labour to make

would entitle the vmltor to see every

of nUruetlotiH , including what arc called
the Hevcn open-air p iformnnceii , IB a
moat exteuiilve one , and when you con

it in certnliily the bargain of yo'ir liftin

Attempt nt Swindle.
H. Hlchterof 1817 Hodgehtreot thinks
that he is a bit wiser than the two Fro-
nont mini who last week nibbled at the
) lit thrown to them by a couple of Span-
sh swindlers.
Last May he leonivnil n letfor from
Spain , written by a man who dunned to
bo a relative , and who used the name of
Iliuhtor. Thin man n ( united the story
of his life , which was one of continual
tin -CCKH until quite recently. Ho had
become almost the head of the famous
Fionch Panama company , when ho wnH
arrested. At the time ho wrote the let
ter he said bo was in jail and sick unto
death.
Thin Spanish Hichter declared that ho
lia-1 a very beautiful daughter , M years
old for whose future ho was troubled.
Ho said he had heard that the Omaha
Hichtor was a model as a guardian and
wanted him to take " - * ' - - - ' T
the latter ho had locked awny 08,000.
If the Omnha man would take charge of
the girl ho was to have one-quarter of
this fortune and the use of the remain
der until the girl came of age. Riohtor
did not answer , but the Fremont men ,
who had received an exactly similar let
ter and proposition , wont to the expense
of cabling about the matter. In reply
they were told that they would have to
