Anotlier bold street car robbery oc
curred lustuvonlnj ; about 0:80 : o'clock on
Park avenue , the circumstances of which
\vero very ntjnrjy fiimilar to tlio rob
bery committed .Monday evening. The
driver of car NO7 was confronted by a
stranger , a revolver placed to his head
nnd ho was ordered to hold up his hands.
lie complied with the demand , while the
' robber proceeded to go through the cash
box , securing $15 in caf-Ii and $ .J worth
of tickets , the usual contents of the box.
The thief then mado'his escape with the
plunder. > - '
KACTS AND ilriMIKISCENSUS.
On his way to l ie olico ( after bearing
of the robbery , the newspaper man
boarded a street car.
"Do you carry a gun ? " asked the re
porter as ho took thu liberty of occupy
ing the front platform by the driver's
dido.
"No. Why doou ask ? "
"I thought perhaps it might strike you
naagood plan after the recent adven
tures which befell two of your brother
drivers. "
"Well say. pard , it's pretty plain to mo
that you never experienced much with
crooks and 'agents. ' Now whut gnd cud
a shooter do meV" and the John drew out
this ijuery with such a contemptuous
swaggering air that the reporter at once
apologi/ed for being about ami modestly
confessed hin ignorance of the utility of
liroanns. "lo ) yon t'ink fur a minit

After thin exceedingly "lough" declar-
ntion of principles the driver went on testate
state that it would bn sheer HOIIMM O to
refuse a highwayman what ho demands.
Street car drivers aro-after night tall in
constant appreheiHionof | a "holdup , "
when running out on tlio suburban end
of the line with an empty ear. It seems
that a pistol would be of little bcrvico as
u brigjind IB not to be distinguished at
ili'Mt sight from an inollensh ' < > passenger
who signals the car. Drivers are nn-
jnedlately interested in protecting ;
the faro box as they are held good for
their losses. When robbed on Monday
night it was Woodrieh , thndriver , who
lost $1 ? and not the company. This

Drivers are paid from $00 to $15 a
month. I'pon entering service they arc
requested to deposit $15 as a trust guar

biiiik on them , so that the company is
protected on each driver by at least & : K ) ,
nnd It seldom occurs that the faro box atone

t Is the frequent habit of drivers when
out on n lonely itretch of the Hun to put
the greater jiortlon of the cash in their
pockets or hide it in tlio folds of their
r.ips , ho that if they am robbed of the

An Important Decision.
Judge McCnlloeh rendered his deel-
cion yestonlay in the celebralr-d habeas
corpifs ca. o of llobcrt Poland. Ho de
cided to relea e the prisoner , nnd accor
dingly the somewhat notorious "Windy
Hob" is free to go where ho Ihtolh.
This decision Is not so impoitanlln
Itself , as ints \ cu'eet upon the method of
procedure heretofore practiced In police
court In banishing criminals from the
city. Judge Ale < ; ulloeh , in reviewing
the decision , hold as follows : The judge
entered criminal .judgment against the
prison r and pa rd sentence upon him.
lie then entered by way of notation a
statement to the effect that he , the pris
oner , could leave town at once
ami avoid the execution of the Kentenee.
He then i. ' ued a mittimus and placed it
in Iho ollloor's hands for .verviw , provid
ed the pri-onor should be found in the
city after a certain time. Now a judg
ment in criminal action must bo definite
nnd certain : There must ho no alterna
tive. In placing the mittimus in the
hands of the olltcer and allowing thu
ollicer to rearrest Poland , after his re
turn to this city , the judge reallv vested
that ollicer with judicial power to de
termine whether the conditions of release
have been complied with. This is mani
festly wrong. Further , no police judge
lias a right to banish a man trom town.
And after that has been done and the
man returns to the city to roarrost him
on the old mittimus , is , in cll'ect , enforc
ing a sentence which hns bo remitted.
Judge Stenberg has disposed of a good
many cases in tins way by allowing
them to leave town in prefeienec to Kerv-
ing out a sentence in thp county jail , and
has succeeded in ridding tlio city of a
great many objectionable- characters ,
lie claims that he does not suspend I he
sentence , but merely suspends the i-Neeu-
tiqn of it for a short time. He says that
this has been found the most practical
way of solving the dijliculty. To send
every vagrant or suspicious character up
to the county jail would bo impossible on
account of limited capacity. There are
already over 70 city prisoners there now.
Hy allowing a man to leave town rather
than serve a term in jail , tlio practical
cuds of justice are subsi-rved.
Judge MeCulloeh in conversation with
ascribe about the matter ycM-ordav said
that he wanted it understood that his de
cision did not prevent , a police judge
from having a man arrested ami then of
fering to drop the prosecution if ho would
leave town at once , "it seems to mo
that it would be just or practicable to do
that , " lie said "as to pass sehtonce anil
then allow him to leave. If the fellow
failed to keep his promise and returned
to the city , he could be rcarrested and
sent to jail. "

Twenty Thousand Dollar *
Jacob Halm , a laborer resident inl South
Omaha , yesterday afternoon , through his
counsel , N. J. Burnham , Ksq. , asked the
judgment of the United States court to
thu amount of $ JO.OOJ In his favor against
the Union Pacific railway company.
Never did a plainlill' , without doubt ,

probable that no man over before lived

He allege.rlniC ; on August ID , of this

Tlio ticket did not stipulate what train

An Investigation Ordered.
Yesterday ( Jen. Howard had aeomnuv
nleation from ( . en. Sheridan of the war
department asking him to investigate
thoroughly the alleged grievances of the
saloon-keepers at Fort Sidney and make
a Rpcedyroport thereon.
it may bn rcmomborod that sonio tirno
nio , Col. Morrow , the commandant at
FortSidnoy , thinking to reduce thu ratio
of drunkenness aiming tlio soldiers at his
post , determined to commence the selling
of beer at Fort Sidney , in connection
with the amusement ball , in order to obviate -
viato the nece.ssjty of the soldiers trotting
to town every time they wanted to in
dulge. He .succeeded well in his venture ,
as it is claimed , and the soldiers urn kept
from going into town and indulging in
periodical sprees. The rat'o of drunken-
ncs it is furthermore claimed , has been
materially lessened by the measure.
Hut this slate of affairs do-s not exactly
plca-e the saloon men of Sidney and they
commenced to remoii-trate against it ,
inasmuch as , loM > w the trade of the boys
in blue , their receipts began to fall oil *
rapidly. They pre < . "ntod a petition of
remonstrance to Col. Morrow , who in
turn decided to refer it to Col. Henry ,
acting judge advocate' of thn department.
Last week tliatollicial decided that the
sale of beer at the post without a license
was perfectly right , in it.self.and from ale-
gal standpoint , inasmuch as the state in
cedingto the military authorities the res
ervation , ceded to them also the rights of
government therein. The saloon men ,
not content witli this , have sent their
statement and petition to Washington ,
and heneu the order for the investiga
tion.
tion.Gen.
Gen. Howard says that he pronounces
110 opinion on the ease of furnishing beer
in the "amusement room" lo soldiers.
lie. re.markri , however , that some meas
ures which restrain those wlto are al
ready "drunkards" have in bis judgment
a tendency to encourage young men , who
have not before drank , to form habits of
drinking liquor.
Whether this is the case at Sidney , in
vestigation will show.

Tlio case of the women who are to bo
tried for spiling liquor without a license
came up in police court this afternoon ,
but as the detectives who procured the
important evidence did not put in an ap
pearance , no testimony was taken.
A motion to dismiss the e.'ifecs of Mrs.
Thompson and Fay Shnpard on account
of errors in tlio complaints was argued
at length by their nttorner , Parko God
win. City Attorney Connell opposed the
motion , nnd was uphold by Judge Sten-
berg. The evaminatfon of the women
was then -ct for 10 o'clock this morning.
Marshal Cummings announced yester
day that he had secured evidence against
Madam Wilson of the lower Douglas
street establishment , and accordingly a
warrant was issued for bur arrest on a
charge of selling Honor without a license.
Shu will appear this morning and give
bail. A detective was sent around to the
place Tuesday night , in the role of dandy
and wealthy sport , and succeeded iii
buying several boltle.s of champagne.
Her case has not been set for hearing
yet. This ought t-o set at rest those who
are growling against the marshal on
account of an alleged partiality in enforcing -
forcing the now order.

The question of free school books now
before the board of education is creating
considerable interest among all citizens
who are anxious to advance the public
schools of ( lie city. It is reported that
W. A. L. tiibbon , the only member of
the board of education who is opposed to
tlio change , will , if the free book syotom
is adopted , endeavor to have an injunc
tion Issued to prevent the hoard from
making tlio neee Fary expenditures. It
is tliu intention of those in tavor of thu
scheme to consult the best leg.il authori
ties in order to ascertain whether such
an injunction could lie sustained in this
state. It appears to be the general opin
ion that no legal obstacle can bo placed
in the way of the change , but the board
of education propose to move cautiously
in the matter , and bo sure they are right
before they go ahead. The legal aspect
of thu ease will bo d-'cus ! < ed at the com
