CONFEDERATE CURRENCY FEL
LOWS JAILED AT LAST.
BEHIND THE DARS AT WAHOO
Two Men , Working the Same Game
That Was Worked All Aloiifl the
Main Line of the Northwestern ,
Probably Same Ones , Are Arrested.
The lintl inonoy artists who Imvu
been reaping a wicked harvest of un
earned riches by passing worthless
"wildcat" bank notes have como to
Brief that Is , two of them have.
Two men , perhaps the two who re
cently worked Norfolk and north Ne
braska , are In the county Jail at Wa-
hoo. It Is certain that the men under
arrest are either the Identical parties
who covered the main line of the
Northwestern or are confederates of
the pair who made life merry for north
Nebraska cashiers.
The plan of operations followed by
the men arrested was similar to that
used In Norfolk. The description of
the men furnished In a Wahoo dis
patch does not correspond In all de
tails with the men seen hero but It Is
pointed out that one of the men by
shaving his mustache could have
brought the descriptions nearer to
gether.
A list of the towns "worked" In
north Nebraska on the worthless bank
notes would miss few towns on the
Northwcstern'B main line.
The story of the men's capture Is
told In this dispatch from Wahoo :
"Tho two men arrested by Sheriff
Dayloy Saturday night , and now In
jail , had concealed In their waist belts ,
collars and around In their coats sev
eral bills ranging In 1's , 2's , 5's , 10's
and 20's on the Merchants' and Plant
ers' bank of Savannah , Ga. , and other
banks of the south , and In different
parts of their clothing , good money
and express orders were found. Aoout
$ UG5 In good moneyt was taken from
their clothing by tlio sheriff , where
he found It sowed In around under the
heavy flannel shirts worn by each ,
and In their coats.
"Two or three men went from store
to store Saturday evening , just at a
time when the clerks were very busy ,
and bought articles , passed one bill of
$20 at Kllllan Bros. ' ; one ? 10 at Stratton -
ton & Hanson's and another at Lehm-
kulo & Wondstrand's store , and then
left town. They stopped at Swede-
burg and passed another $10 bill and
struck west to Ccrcsco. Just after the
men had left Swedeburg , the counter-
felt bill was discovered , and parties
called up the sheriff , who had just re
turned from the country , and it was
not very long until Mr. Dayloy had the
telephones In operation all over the
county. When the men got to Ceresco ,
the marshal was on the watch , for
Mr. Dayley had given him a descrip
tion. They were surrounded , captured
and held until the sheriff arrived.
Upon searching them , he found In the
pocket of one a $10 bill on the Mer
chants' and Planters' bank of Savan
nah , Ga. The bills passed In Wahoo
and Swedeburg correspond with those
passed In Central City and other
towns of the state.
"The men captured give their names
as Axel Johnson and Thomas O'Brien
the former Is a Swede , and the lat
ter has the appearance of being Irish
ns the name indicates. Both are large
men , about thirty years of age , smooth
and keen looking.
"The sheriff returned to Wahoo with
the men at 3 o'clock In the morning. "
LOSES SPEECIUND HEARING
Lou Cousins , Former Circus Man , Very
Sick In Norfolk.
Lou Cousins , a Norfolk butcher , ly
ing very 111 at his home on South
Fourth street , was suddenly deprived
of the senses of speech and hearing.
Mr. Cousins has been in poor health
but the serious attack that left him
unconscious came at 4 o'clock Wednes
day morning.
Cousins lost the power of speech as
a result of paralysis of the speech and
auditory centers of the brain , which
was in turn caused by a hemorrhage
of the brain.
Wednesday afternoon Cousins was
not unconscious and was able to rec
ognize and shake hands with these
about him although unable to address
any one.
While Cousins' Illness was consid
ered ns very serious it was not thought
to be necessarily fatal. His age , It
was said by the attending physician ,
Dr. W. II. Pllger , might make it pos
sible to rally from the attack.
Cousins Is married and with his
wife lives near the Lincoln school. A
brother , Frank Cousins , also lives In
Norfolk. Cousins has been employed
in the Thiem meat market but before
coming to Norfolk he gave up a circus
career. He was famous as a contortionist
tionist and in this and other circus
stunts appeared with most of Amer
ica's big circuses.

CAN'T ' SELL THEIR STOCK.
Government Seizes Cattle Sold by In
dians to New Homesteaders.
Gregory , S. D. , Oct. 31. A recent
visit to this vicinity by Boss Farmer
Crossman of the Rosebud reservation ,
and the sel/.tiro by him of several head
of cattle which had been purchased
by homesteaders from Indians living
on the reservation , was an eye-opener
for many recent arrivals , who were
not aware that It Is against the rules
of the Indian department for Indians
to sell stock which had been Issued
to them by the government.
ROSEBUD AND PINE RIDGE SIOUX
BACK FOR WINTER.
WERE WITH BUFFALO BILL
"Bill" McCune , Manager for Colonel
Cody , Passed Through Norfolk Tak
ing the Redskins Back to Their Res
ervations In This Territory.
The South Dakota Indians borrowed
from Undo Sum by Colonel William
F. Cody's wild west show have been
returned to the Pine Rldgo and Rose
bud reservations.
The Indians who left last spring for
the eastern war path in search of coin
and excitement wore taken through
Norfolk on the evening train over the
Northwestern.
It's the uoblo redman , gay in paint ,
war bonnet and flashy robes who goes
east but it's just plain Mr. Indian who
comes buck In the fall to hibernate
for the winter. It's a real noble brave
.hat doesn't sell all his gay clothes
.he moment he hits the trail for boms.
"Bill" McCuno of Omaha , general
manager for the wild west , passed
through Norfolk with the Indians and
igain on his return to Omaha.
Mr. McCuue said the feature of the
season was the shortage of men who
could handle the tent and animals.
"Why , for the first time In fifteen
years I found it necessary at times to
et out myself and handle some of the
laborers and pitch in myself. It was
a serious proposition. "
Colonel Cody's private car , said to
liavo been formerly used by Pattl , was
occupied during the show season by
four Bills Cody , McCuue , Sweeney
and the porter. When the season was
young there was a general scramble
of Bills in the car every time that
name was used. It finally was ar
ranged that one should be called Wil
liam , another Willie , the third BUI and
the fourth Blllle to save confusion.
Cut Running Time.
Union Pacific officials announce that
beginning November 10 that road will
knock off two hours from the running
time of the trains between Chicago
and Denver. The Milwaukee and
Northwestern and Union Pacific No.
11 will leave Chicago thirty-five min
utes later than now , or at 10 a. m.
and use thirty hours In running to
Denver. Train No , 12 will leave Den
ver at 2:05 : p. m. and arrive at Chicago
cage at 9 p. m. the next day. The Burlington -
lington announced some time ago a
reduction of the running time of its
fast trains between Chicago and Den
ver and the addition of a new train
No. 13 from Chicago to Omaha. This
will give the Burlington one more
train westbound than eastbound , be
cause the travel is heavier that way.
Omaha , It is figured , will derive a
great benefit from this arrangement
because of the latest move on the
part of the Burlington.

YOUTHFUL PREPARATIONS FOR
THURSDAY NIGHT.
ANY SOAP ON YOUR WINDOWS ?
Norfolk Boys and Girls Spent the Day
Getting Ready to Make Merry With
Harmless Fun Police to Restrict
Any Damage.
I From Thursda 'a Datly.J
Wednesday evening was "soap and
corn" night , a prelude In Boyvlllo to
Hallowe'en.
Were your windows "soaped" and
did corn rattle against your doors
Wednesday night ? If this didn't hap
pen to you you were missed for Wed
nesday night was "soap and corn"
night.
The small boy knows his traditions
though like all traditions their origin
Is shrouded with proper mystery. So
corn rattled and soap smeared Wed
nesday evening and the small boy was
glad In his heart because ho was obey
ing the wild sphlt of his own law.
The cranky citizen swore and
thought it was Hallowe'en when the
corn crashed against his window. But
it wasn't. Any small boy could have
told him that It was only "soap and
corn" night , just a mild little touch of
what was coming to Mr. Cranky GUI-
/.en the eve following.
"Nnw , course tills ain't Hallowe'en , "
protested one littlemarauder when reproached
preached for a prematcur outbreak ,
"Don't I know 'cm. First "cabbage"
night , then "soap and corn" night
which Is this and then Hallowe'en
which Is It. Wo just soap 'em and
corn 'em tonight but tomorrow's when
wo do everything. There wasn't any
cabbage night this year just rain
and say there are seven policemen out
tonight. That's a awful lot for just
'soap and corn * night. How many do
you think there'll bo Hallowe'en ? "
How many ? Mr. Flynn , Norfolk's
bogey man , says one on most every
corner.
The Norfolk small boy who has at
heart the law of his kind wouldn't do
any "Hiillowo'cnlng" on "soap and
corn" night but even the good small
boy can't be trusted far on the great
night of license in Boyville.
Hallowe'en always the night of the
last day In October , has followed a
varied path. It holds the weird story
of old time folk lore , it Is written large
In the social calender and It reads
almost everything to the small boy
and to some who have outgrown small
boyhood but who have a mind for the
disregard of property rights and for
the general license that has gone with
Hallowe'en in the past.
In a social way Hallowe'en has
spread its features through the week
A number of small Hallowe'en parties
were given Wednesday evening and
more were planned for the evening of
Hallowe'en. And for the parties not
hold on the real Hallowe'en the varied
features connected with that wierd
night were given place in the party
plans. Hallowe'en meetings were
hold at a few Norfolk societies and
church organizations.
A Hallowe'en dance was given
Wednesday evening at Marquardt hall
by the Norfolk band. The dance was
preceded by an open air concert at
the corner of Fourth street and Nor
folk avenue. Both were pleasant fea
tures of the autumn night.
At the Auditorium it was announc
ed that Hallowe'en would be given
over to a re\ivlal of the old sport of
wrestling. "Farmer" Burns , long
famous on the mat and the middle
weight champion wrestler of the
world , Is a real Hallowe'en feature.
In forty minutes the famous wrestler
is to attempt to throw Jack O'Leary
twice and George Gion once , the for
mer the welterweight champion of the
northwest , the latter an Iowa wrest
ler. In this wrestling program sport-
lovers in this part of Nebraska were
assured an exhibition of top-notchers
In a sport that is being revived In this
section of the west.
Chief of Police Flynu is one man
who didn't arrange to see the big
wrestling match through. Instead the
chief prepared to wrestle with Hal
lowe'en.
Chief Flynn spent Thursday mornIng -
Ing making a classification that would ,
divide "innocent Hallowe'en diver
sions" from "malicious fractures of
city ordinances and property rights. "
The chief has decided that breaking
windows , running off with wagons and
signs , tearing up sidewalks , stealing
gates , pushing over fences and other
wise destroying property Is not to be
classdd as an "Innocent diversion. "
Moreover the chief has an age limit.
Chief Flynn hold graduation exercises
Thursday morning and formally grad
uated all boys over fifteen from Boy-
vllle and stripped them of the privi
leges of being a small boy. The chief
has a lenient place In his heart for the
small boy's fun as long as it is Inno
cent fun , but there Is a big stick In
the air for any "boy" sixteen or sev
enteen or older who Is caught In any
Hallowe'en stunts.
During the day the chief had the
janitors of the different school build
ings sworn in as special police to
watch the part of town adjacent to
their respective schools. Other spe
cial police were added to the force
to check any tendency towards rough
ness on the part of the celebrators.
And Flynu himself will make a night
of it.
Although violence to property was
not expected Wednesday evening an
early evening report was received at
police headquarters from the residence
of C. E. Doughty In The Heights ,
where a window was broken In the
Doughty home by a crowd of Hal-
said , would follow any such destruc
tion of property.
STUDENTS INJATTLE ROYAL
Freshmen and Sophomores Engage In
Mass Scrap With 76 on Each Side.
Raleigh , N. C. , Oct. 31. A recent
case of hazing at thu state agrlcul
turn I and tufcliunlcal college * hai
caused President Winston of that college
lego to reprove the student body and
In his re-mark * he advised a man-to
man fight in tfce open.

mores to meet them for a test ol
prowess on the athlatlc field. Accord
Ingly , there was a mass fight , with
about seventy-five on each side
Lieutenant Young , the commandant ,
and members of the Junior and senior
classes were present. The scrapping
match passed off without serious In
jury to any of the participants.
Then the sophomores Invited the
freshmen to battle , when a flercci
struggle ensued , and there were many
Injured on both sides. There wer
sixty-five men on a side and the noaea
of four cade'ts wore broker * a numbet
of eyes were blackened and many
faces scratched.
The opposing sides line up , rueh at
each other and tight at will , but
rough and tumble tactics are barred.
President Winston and Lieutenant
Young believe this will do away with
hazlngs. Many friends of the collcgj
hero condemn It.
CANNIBALS CAPTURE SAILORS
Entire Ship's Crew Ha § Met This Fata
In Terra del Fuego.
New York , Oct. 81. Tne fate of the
crew of forty sailors who took thu
big sailing ship Arthur Sewoll out of
Philadelphia April 3 on the start of
its long voyage to carry coal to the
Philippines probably was to bo eaten
by cannibals.
Word has Just boon received at the
Maritime exchange that the vessel
was wrecked near Terra del Fuego
and all signs point to the survivors
having been captured by the canni
bals , who infest the Islands In that
vicinity. The news of the wreck and
the almost certain fate of the crew
came from the steamer Frldthjoff.
The Fridthjoff reports that on Aug.
29 , while cruising near the southeast
headland of Nolr Island , the lookout
reported a derelict ahead. The dere
Hot proved to be a four-masted
square-rigged ship that In every way
answered the description of the Sew-
ell. As the wreck evidently was very
recent the Frldthjoff's captain made
Investigation , in the hope of discover
ing some of the possible survivors
On the shore of Nolr Island a landing
party from the Norwegian vessel dis
covered traces proving that a considerable
erablo party from the wreck had
made Its way to land. The trail led
away from the beach. The sailors
from the Frldthjoff followed the trail
as far as they could make It out , but
finally had to abandon the search ow
Ing to the danger from the cannibals
that Inhabit the Island. The natives
on the Islands In that part of the sea
are cannibals of the fiercest kind and
shipwrecked sallorn could have little
hope of escaping from them

OLD TIME ELKHORN VALLEY
COWPUNCHER WRITES.
NOW IS CHURCHMAN IN TEXAS

Valley "Did Battle Creek Ever
Amount to Much ? " Ho Asks.
The following letter was recently

old timu cow puncher "Joe Hull" or F.
J. Simmons as he signs himself. Joe
Hall was his assumed name while In
the Elkhoru valley. The letter Is dat
ed Bronsou , Texas , whore ho Is now
living.
Old Friend Tommy : Yours of a
Into date was received a day or two
since and 1 need not say was perused
with considerable more than ordinary
pleasure. It furnished reminiscences
of a happy bygouo when my life was
so badly wrecked and morals so badly
shattered that 1 did not value life nor
dread death ns much as you might
have supposed. 1 expect I would have
shot quicker than you ever thought.
1 got wrecked Just after the war by
killing a negro In n largo town In
Louisiana. That and the Indian Gray
Byes were the only two men that I
ever killed and 1 um as glad of both
of these as anything 1 ever did. I shot
one white man and cut another white
man bad and this Is the most of my
troubles. My conscience Is as clear
as anybody's.
I belong to the church and truly believe -
lievo that I am a Christian. You
never in your life saw a man with us
much change. My morals are good ,
1 never swear , never get tight and for
two years I suppose 1 never touched
whisky , but for a number of years I
took an occasional drink. You did not
tell me what had become of McCormick -
mick , the old Pen and Plow editor.
You asked mo what I am doing. I
have quit shucking pumpkins and now
I wagon for a .livelihood. You also
asked me if 1 ever got over my fall.
I am still a little lame , but stout , and
broke many of the worst horses in
Texas for money. I have quit now
am getting most too old , 57 years old.
Doesn't that sound strange ? Send
me your photo and I will send you
mine as soon as I get to an artist
there Is none here at present.
What has become of Joe Milligan ,
Loren Means and Troy Hale of Battle
Creek and did Battle Creek ever
amount to much. I reckon you will
get tired of answering questions. I
nm living happy now , have a nice little
home all paid for in a hustling town.
If you want to do the Job of your
whole life , come to Texas. This coun
try is new , building up and fine land ,
fine climate for health. There are
many northern people all over the
state and you couldn't run them off.
Well I will close , write soon , answer
all of the letter and write a long letter
on the outside.
Your true friend ,
F. J. Simmon , ( Joe Hall ) .
