claimed by Mrs. Martin , a forcible as
sault was inndo upon her.

ible that Daniel was hidden some-

turned from Tllden says he does not
believe there will bo any more wood
stealing at that place. Not long ngo
n railroad man got n load of ties from
the railroad company and sawed them
up for IIro wood. He became nwnrcof
the fact that someone was appropriat
ing wood without his consent , nnd BUS
pected a neighbor. To confirm his
suspicious ho bored a hole In ono of
the blocks of wood , filled It with powder >
dor and plugged It up. The next morn
Ing about breakfast time a loud ex

house and the neighbor's stove was
blown to pieces. The neighbor , after
being charged with stealing the ties ,
confessed.

Woman Steals Clothes.
Lincoln , July 13. Apparently un
able to realize that she hail done any
thing wrong and without any display
of emotion , Mrs. Minnie Green , who
lifted $3,000 worth of goods from Mil
ler & Paine , where she wns employed
as head fitter In the suit department ,
pleaded guilty to grand larceny. OH
a plea made by her employer , Senator
Miller , the court made the sentence
light , a yenr In prison.
Within forty-eight hours after being
arrested she wns In the state peniten
tiary. She nonchalently bade her rel
atives goodbye , while they all wept.
She had worn but two or three of tha
many articles of apparel she hail tak
en ; she had given away to relatives ;
about $100 worth , and kept the ro-
maiudor of It In her rooms and clos
ets , wheie she could go and look ntt \
and gloat over being the possessor of
so many fine pieces of clothing.
The state decided to proceed no fur
ther against any of the relatives , al
though It was regarded unlikely that
they did not know the goods were ,
stolen by the woman.

Asks State to Take a Hand.
Round 2 In the telephone battle be
tween the Nebraska Telephone com
pany and the Norfolk Independent
Telephone company was started when
the Independent company filed a pe
tition with the Nebraska state rail
way commission asking that the Bell
company be compelled to reinstall
their telephone In the Independent
company's olllce. Some days ago the
Bell company removed their phone
and W. J. Stadelman , manager of the
Independent company , protested.
The petition of the Independent
company before the railway commis
sion has just reached the board at
Lincoln. It sets foith the claim that
the Nebraska Telephone company , be
, ing a public service corporation , la
compelled under Its state charter to
serve the public and that It must In
stall telephones when the request is
made , providing there has been no
, violation of a contract.
The Bell company will light out the
case on the contention thnt the Inde
pendent company did violate its con
tract , alleging that the Independent
company used the Bell phone as a ro.
lay Instrument for Its subscribers.
, The case will bo watched with fnter- '
est In Nebraska ,
