TIio HewltcliliiR Siren.
It was a most Intorpstmgb'iby with n
pink nose and big , blue eyes which the
] > ntii'iit itnrkuy mammy was trying to
closn in sleep. The reporter as ho waitci
for Mrs , Fountain to dress and bo inter
viewed , grow interested in tlio child.
"Pretty dear , " hu Paul us sweetly as his
nnpniutlncd tongue would permit , "nice
kid , ( jood nurse , too. Go to s'cepj
now. "
Keening up this sort of tiling for a lev ,
minute * worked the desired ufluol upui
the "good inirso , " who doubtless eon
cltideil the reporter to bo a very clevei
fiorlof n chap , and deserving to know al
lie would.
Yes , indocdy , the little darling was
Mrs. Fountain's her very own and
you , Mr. Fountain's , too. Il was a girl
bless its little heart , and only ten
weeks old , the angel. And so
on. all aboul the sweet thing.
That's news , unquestionably. Not
many know thai Mrs. Fountain has a
baby ten week's old. There was some-
thingsaid a little while ago about Mrs.
F. having found an infant on her door
Meps , but , goodness , this couldn't be the
child. Whoever heard of the heiress ol
a household lying around on the front
htoop before it. brought the .sunshine of
Its nresencu into the family eirele.
' 1 ho reporter had probably called lee
early. It was half past , ten , but Mrs.
Fountain was not as yet prepared even
for informal callers. She admitted the
news man , however , giving him kindly
Instructions from the top of lite stairs to
wait a bit. The reporter Was still occu
pied with the child when the mother ,
clad in a seal skin sncqiio and silken gar
ments , swept into the room.
"Isn't it trightfiil , " she ejaculated with
n melo-dramalic wave of her arms.
"Frightful ? why , ninihimu , I think it is
a bcanliful infant. You shock mo , " re
turned the reporter , wheeling from the
nurse to the lady.
" 1 don't mean the child and you know
it , " retorted Mrs. Fountain with a
.Witheringsneer. "J refer to the. publi
cations in the morning papers. Oh , it is
dreadful. " and she collapsed into a chair.
Mrs. Fountain is a handsome woman
of large physique. She dresses well ,
furnishes her surroundings sumptuously ,
converses relinedly and is altogether a
charming personage. Further descrip
tion of her personnel is unnecessary as a
Woman more widely known does not live
in Omaha.
She continued with heated eloquence to
condemn the morning papers and pro
test against the foul calumnies which
they heaped upon her.
"Just think of the terrible things those
vile sheets .said about mo. To Ho anil
slander and then to speak of me as a
'woman , ' eli ! the wretches. 1 am half
crazy this morning. My husband , who
is yer\f sick , and 1 spent the entire night
driving about trying to have the dreadful
publication Mopped. "
In this measure she went on , denounc
ing the press in general , the Ko-
publican in particular , and literally
Jlaying Fed Nye alive. "When wo got to
Nyu's house it was about 2 o'clock in the
morning , ami what do yon think , ho
Wouldn't come to the door , but stood
back in the hall and shouted at us. lie
Is a fiend. [ Oh , forred : ink to express
the tones in which Mrs. Fountain brought
out tins last word. ] Ho said it was too
late to stop the libelous article and then
when wo asked him to open the door , ho
Haiti something about not being afraid ,
but ho was too sleepy to talk more. Ho
is a wrech. "
SHU IXN'T KSOWI'IIICCIIAISI ) .
Exhausting this topic she turned at the
reporter's guidance upon the leading
question of the present her concern in
yomii ! i'rlehard's downfall.
"That is the mots monstrous of all the
heinous falsehood they have told about
me. I don't know Trite-hard tind never saw
him except on two occasions when I sent
money to my husband who was then in
Chicago. My inirso hero was with mo
when 1 sent the messages and can attest
to what I say. I never sent $ \2 \ ! > , but
altogether forwarded my husband $110
$ ( > ( ) at one time and $ .r > < > at another. At
the times 1 called at tholelegraph ollleo
1 saw 1'ritehard and never at any
other. " The nur.so alh'rmed this
statement with a nod , "Tho only
way 1 learned his name was when ho
Bout mo the receipt , and ho never was in
my house-oh , Aunty J" and Aunty very
emphatically exclaimed "No , sab I"
"Hohidos , what would 1 want with
Biich a man. " Nothing can for the
Binallcst part express the lofty scorn
with which these words were spoken ,
and when the swooping gesture of dis
dain .stopped witli one of the lady's lily
hands hold about four feet from the
floor to plainly signify that IVitchard
was a little follow and she had no use
for sueh creatures , the reporter full bail
for himself , but iiiumin'oil to struggle out
u feeble , "but IVitch has the reputation
of being a good little bit of a man. "
"Hali1 ! * sl.o oxohmncd in a tone of voice
which shut no the newspaper man from *
any dlsfiihsion with heron the subject o
manly forms. "It's a lie from top to bottom
tom , " HIO resumed. "So is tho.story that
1 paid to have that legacy matter printed
a lie. My sister , Ida , did that for a joke. "
This 'ViMer Ida , " who very evidently
ought to be reMraini'tl when .slio gets in a
funny vein , is a young lady who carries
the misfortune of lameness. She is a
most convenient accessory to Mrs. Foun
tain and can well shoulder the reproaches
intended for her splendid sister.
"As to the legacy Mory itself , I have
every conlidonce in its genuineness and
J have letters from lawyers and agents on
the subject. It will require some time to
reach the funds , but I hope that it can be
( lone In time. "
TIM : NOiMriioM-umvirr IIASTAHDV CASK.
"Did you over know a girl named
NorMromy" asked the reporter , ns coon
us Mrs. Fountain linislied ranting over
her grievances.
"ics , " she snapped half viciously , as
Bho gave the reporter a swift , suspicious
glance , "what of it ? "
"Nothing you need bo alarmed about
I merely wanted to know if you know
anything about a note written to Judge
Anderson in connection with the case. "
"Well , see hero , " she said , at last ,
throwingoll'hor re-ambit. "I'll bo plain
with you. The girl came to my house'
last week and for a few days assisted in
the work about the house. She was in
u delicate condition and told mo her
Btory. I asked her who the man what
the name of well , who the man was ,
Hho told mo and 1 informed my husband.
Wo both concluded that the girl
was wroujjotl und that her seducer
Who was earning $ 'JG a month ought to
bo made to right the wrong , Mr. Foun
tain sat down and wrote a note to Judge
Anderson stating the ease and gave it tu
the girl to deliver. The result of it was
that the follow was arrowed and the
whole allair happily .settled by their mar
riage , ( iraclous me. if an honest attempt
to redeem a ruined girl is to rolled on
tie , why let it reflect. " and Mrs. Konn
threw herself back in her chair with an
lirof eavago resignation to any fate.
This virtually tcnu'iiated ' the interview
and the reporter was graciously show
out after another small bit of attnntior
to the baby which had meanwhile sunl
to slumber in its truckle-bed.
WHO M113. I'OtXTAKN IS.
Mrs. Fountain Is the worst slanderer
woman in Omaha , of course. She is ar
innocent woman \yith _ a bad reputation ,
poor thing. She is said to bo an adven
turess , but that is only because she don't
pay her bills when MIC can cvado sucli
small responsibilities. She Is saitl to be
a llirt , and is charged with wearing prom-
inrnt citizens tied up in bow knotf
around her ring lingers , but that is onl.v
born of the malignant spirits who envj
her charming manners. She Is a dashei
and a daisy , and upon these high quail
tics of mind and soul scandalous tongues
have spread disrepute , which is altogether
too bad ,
Mrs. Fountain was much the same kind
of personage before she came to Omaha.
She formerly lived in Cleveland and
there she was abused. One evil-spirited
concern to whom she was indebted foi
the small trillo of some one or two hun
dred dollars , went so far as to insist upon
collecting the amount after she cunijj
here , and they employed Messrs. (5roH" &
Montgomery. The money was forthcom-
ng when she was pressed for it , which
redounds much to nor credit.
Then again there uro those who spent
the past summer at Spirit Lake and say
now that Mrs. Fountain fell into such
peculiar relationships with a clerk in the
hotel Orleans that all the ladies fought
shy of her and the poor clerk was
discharged before Hie end of the season.
Some of these folks are mean
enough to remember that Mrs. F , wore
black and white stockings while enjoying
the broo/es of Okokohoji , and that she
was evidently very proud o.f them.
There are many other stories out about
her , hut they all run in the same slander
ous current , and it would bo a shame to
print them. Mrs. Fountain thinks that
the press is "down on her , " and she
doesn't understand whv.
A MAKING DiSKD.
A Stage Itobtictl l > y Highwaymen in
liro.'iil Daylight.
Gen. Howard , of army headquarters ,
received telegrams from Fort Ilobinson
yesterday informing him of a daring stage
robbery which was committed Monday
morning , about eighteen miles from
the fort. The particulars received so
far are very meagre. It seems that
abotttllo'clockin the morning the stage
coauli running between Chadron and
Fort Itobinson , was stopped by masked
highwaymen , who carried oil' the express
company's strong box. This receptacle
contained about $5,000 in gold , with
which the army paymaster intended to
soldiers at Fort Ilobinson. The news of
the robbery soon spread and Major lu-
woes , commandant at Fort Robin.son was
informed. Ho immediately ordered out
all the troops and they arc' now engaged
in scouring the country for tlie robbers.
The money was in charge of the express
company and they will be hold roponsi-
hlo for the lo-s ; in case the robbers
are not overhauled. Gen. Howard said
Lho telegrams this morning assured him
Ihat every ellort was being made to cap-
Lure tin ; culprits , both by the military and
[ lie civil authorities. " 1 do not see how
it is possible for them to escape , " he
saiil , in conclusion , "for they are headed
oil'in every direction. "
IATKK.
From late telegrams received yesterday
it army headquarters , it appears thattho
robbery occurred near Dawcs City.about
sixteen miles from Fort Robinson. 1m-
nediatoly upon the receipt of the intel
ligence at Fort Hobinson , a dotatchment
of soldiers was sent out to follow up the
obbers. Gen. Howard has been sending
ml telegrams to Dcadwootl ,
Cheyenne , Luramio , MalCinncy and Sid-
icy and it is believed that the highway-
non will soon bo cornered , No details
of the robbery , further than those given
ibovo have bo received at headquarters.

JLifo.
According to a complaint filed in Jus-

some way of his whereabouts , and the
following "month she fojlowod him out

but promised to provide something for

"When the news of Father Jardino's
suicide was received in Kansas City on
Sunday afternoon , there was instantly
created a feeling of sympathy tor the
dead man. The feeling against the
Times in certain quarters is very strong
people are beginning to believe that
that journal hounded Father Jardine
with a severity entirely unwarranted.
This feeling is especially noticeable
among the members of St. Mary's church ,
of which Father Jardino was rector. All
along he has had hissupporters , who have
strongly insisted that lie was innocent
of the charges preferred against him.
liven among those who have believed in
Father Jarilmo's guilt , there is now a reactionary
actionary feeling for the man. The
charges against him were preferred by
John Shea , formerly editor of the Kansas
City Mail , who openly accused him of
criminal intimacy with the sisters , and
all sorts of horriljlo olVoncos. The body
of the unfortunate man will arrive in

to a charge of drunkenness preferred
against him. IIo had been found uy the

A Happy Compromise of the Dowltt-
The bastardy suit of Anna Norstrom
vs. Arthur L. DoWitt was compromised
Monday by marriage. DoWitt is tin
employe in the Union L'acitic shops , and
was arrested and bound over on Monday
last , spending the intervening time In the
county jail. Judge Hawos , the counsel
for the man , had prepared two compromise
plans the lirst that Dowitt should marry
the girl , and the second that ho should
pay her ifoO down and $10 per month
until the birth of her child. The first
proposal mot the favor of both the prin-
c.pals , and the nuptials wore consum
mated in county court Monday evening
The fact is that the woman had never in
tended prosecuting her lover , but was
drawn into it by tlio intermeddling of
Dllieious friends.
Some intoros'ling facts of a general sort
were developed by this affair. As soon
us it was learned that the compromise
would bo in marriage , pressure was
brought to bear on Judge llawos to have
the ceremony porlormod in the
jail to give the event a more romantic sa
vor. 'I ho judge refused to grant the request -
quest/ ) ! ' his friends and was unquestiona
bly right in doing so , It seems that un
der the law , a marriage of such a kind
performed in jail would bo practically
void if either of the contracting parties
over attempted to challenge Its legality.
Tlio imputation of compulsion under
duress attaches to such a marriage anil It
is seldom undertaken by parties earnest
ly anxious to make their union binding.
This sumo appearance of duress is also
avoided in the proceedings of court. * , ant
no criminal , no matter liow heinous1 hi' '
crime , is over tricdi and sentenced ii
handcuffs.
On leaving the court yesterday after
noon , DoWitt took n solemn pledge in tin
pre.scncc of those assembled to supper
and protect his wife and many of hi :
good friends standing by endorsed his po
billon.

His Statement , to a Heportcr AVliat
Srami-jcr Dickey fiay.H.
"I am a ruined man so far as my repu
tation in Omaha and this western coun-
: ry in concerned. I appreciate what 1
lave done , and I presume 1 will have to
suffer for it. "
Mr. .1. 1 $ . Prilcliard , the ex-cashier of
the Western Union , was very frank last
evening in speaking of his case to a
reporter for the Bin : . Yesterday morn
ng ho too * up quarters in the Windsor
hotel , where ho is at present stop
ping. He was waited upon in the even
ing by a representative of this paper
who pressed dim to give Ins side of the
caso. Mr. Pritchard had evidently been
Millcring from loss of sleep , and appeared
to be almost broken down.
"Tlio Western Union men claim that 1
am behind about s000 in my accounts , "
ho said. "Now I claim that most
of this is in outstanding accounts owing
to mo which will probably bo made good
all in timo. If they are , I shall bo freed
of all indebtedness to the company. L"t
mo explain to you. J haye been
carrying on my own shoulders the
acco'imt which F. S. Ferguson , the grain
commission man owed to the company ,
amounting to ! ? 1.25. ! ) For this f am re
sponsible to the company , and if this firm
come to time with it , I shall turn it over.
In the same way 1 carried an account
with W. P. Peck it Co. , the brokers ,
amounting to § UO , which also ought to
bo mot by this firm. Then J have other
accounts which 1 hope to collect for the
company , in small Minis for telegraph
service advanced to different persons in
this city , probably in amount something
like § 150 or ? 200. This will leave a bal
ance of a hundred dollars or so. which I
can easily m lco up. Besides tlu-so ac
counts 1 have mentioned. I have other
small bills owing to mo. While I was in
St. Joe , one of the men under m i ap
propriated $150 , which shortage I had to
make good to the comiiany , besides
several little accounts wliii-li I had lo
saddle on myself for telegraph .service ad
vanced to parlies in St. Joe.
As soon as all their accounts are settled
I will have plenty of money with which
to settle the alleged .shortage. "
'Why are you responsible for those ac
counts of mo broKers , Ferguson and
Peekv"
" 1 allowed tlmm to have their monthly
market reports \yltliout payment in ad
vance , as Col. Uiektiy requires. They did
not pay , and I was obliged to become re-
Kponsimo lor their accounts , Yes , I will
admit that I lied to Mr , Dickey about
these accounts , Ho asked mo if they
were settled in advance and I told
him they had been. 1 can't blame
him for distrusting me , Ho had
a right to discharge mo as soon as I
broke laith with him. I acted as I did
.simply to protect Ferguson ami Peek &
Co , If they are honorable men they will
come to my assistance and settle ui > their
debts for which I became responsible. "
"If they don't , I will confess that I am
most elegantly 'done up. ' I have about
-1,000 worth of property In this city , with
which I can make up any deficiency
wlneh may he charged against me. 1
presume as soon as tlio thing is squared
up I will have to go to some other city
and start anew. 7 am a pretty good telegraph -
graph operator , and can got u job at tlio
key , 1 presume. "
When questioned about his alleged
intimacy with Mrs. J. G. Fountain , Mr.
Prilcliard shut up tighter than a clam ,
"I have got nothing to utter on that
point. " ho declared. " 1 will say that I
liavo been foull } slandered in that matter -
tor , and propose to make it warm for my
Iraducorn. "
Col. J. J.Dickey , local manager of the
\Vostorn \ Union , fatated to the ronortor
that the exact figures of Mr. I'ritelnird'd
ileliciency had not been reported to him ,
lint that lie thought It would amount to
iiboutf TOO. * 'Of ' this amount about $250
Lo $300 is In the accounts of Fergu&on
mil Peck , tlm grain men. 1 told Priti-hard
hat ho would liavo lo see that these men
laid in advance. Ho failed to do so mid
icd to mo in tellinir me that ho had colJ J
Iccted their accounts. They have failr
to make the amounts good and ho is lid
responsible. He has defrauded the eon
pony hi other small wavs , which it
needless to mention. No 1 tlo not thin
ho will bo Krsseouted. The dclicienc
will bo made good by him or his bond :
