It seems that lie bad at one lime studied

of funds he went to Noilh Mend where lie
embarked in Ihe practice of thai profca-

and rather relined fellow , and put

Clair drove to the west. On the onl-
skirts of the ( own ho took up bis bag
gage where he had secreted it , painted
out Ihe distinelive marks of the hordes
and went on. Despite llio fact that the
most desperate ulVorb , were made to can-
lure him be .succeeded in driving boldly
across the stales of Indiana , Illinois anil
Iowa , in a vveMorn town of which last
he disposed of the horses and buggy.
HIS ItKTUKN' AND MAUIIIAdB
He. reached North Heinl after this per
formance in tlio early part of September.
With an inililluronlaulianco of detection
that is wonderful to consider , ho resumed
his fulso position in the community and
preSM-d his s nt upon Miss Dorsoy. Com
pletely deceived she gave him her hand ,
and her family .sanctioned the step. On
December iJIld the nuptials were consum
mated , and the elite of Dodge county as
sembled in the home of J. K , Dorsoy lo

TIII : THIIIIIIIM : Titrrir.
Mr. and Mr . H. Hayes Claire left
North Hunil on n wedding lour when Ihe
ceremony was compleleili and journeyed
eastward.
While Claire was thriving on liis mis
representations in Nebraska , the authori
ties back in the cast where his crimes lay
against him were patiently working out
tliu problem of liis retribution Almoit
on llio any of his marriage llio shorin"at
Richmond located Clair and started for
him. OIIPO Bpottod his path was easily
followed , and on Friday of last week , in
nn Iowa town whole Mr. and Mrs. Claire
bad stopped , the ollicor .sei/.ed his man.
Ilo secured a confession of the vvhore-
abouls of the horses , but before further
steps could be taken the culprit
eluding observation escaped. The
poor child wife , broken hearted ,
returned to her home , reaching
North IJend on last Mondav morning.
The hympatby of the community and the
entire stale alliey learn llio facts , are as
strong for her as the condemnation of
tliu wretched author of her sorrow in
deep and bitter ,

HOW ' 11111 AIIIIKbl' WAS MAlli : .
Claire's arrest was noallj accomplished
by means ol a decoy telegram. Sheriir
( jormaii learned lliat ho was in Stuart ,
Iowa , and as he wanted him hero , ho .sent a
dispatch .signed "Neltio , " saving that she
must meet him in Omaha. ThK liad tliu
desired cll'ect , and the arrest followed.
Claire was completely overcome whim hf >
realised ( lie situation , and accompanied

"Hi , there ! Stop thai ! " was Ihe abrupt
command .shouted into Ihe car.s of a Far
nani street car driver late Saturday nijjht
by a policeman. The jeliu , it seems , in
Iryiiifr toDnako lii.s mules pull Ibo car u |
the louy ascent fiom Fifteenth street , liai :
bcconu ! "stalled. " The mules refused to
] > ull ando the driver commenced lo llo j
them with a heavy whip. This did no
good , and ho ne\t commenced to lay on
the strokes wilh a heavy lop chain.
While be was cujra ed in this inhuman
operation Ollicer llmchcy came up.
"Stop thai , 1 say , " repeated the police
man , as the street car driver appeared to
pay no attention to liis command.
' " 'Guess ycr don't know ' .s much about
diivin mules cJ do , " said the jehii .sul
lenly , as he continued to beat the animals
savafjjelv.
"Well , you want lo quil that or I'll
have to arrest ; \oii \ , " returned OJlicer
llincliey. The lellow threw down his
chain , other means were used to .start the
car , and soon it was moving up llio long
and .slippery a oenl.
"Sucn a nroceediiiji is an outrage , " re
marked Ollicer JJinuhoy , in speakiii'iof
the mailer lo a reporter altenvaids.
"Such men oujrlit not to bo allowed lo
remain in the service of Hie street car
company one hour. That pull up Fur-
nain Mrcet is a loiifj and slijipery ono ,
ami it is not to bo wondered at that one
team has a hard time to pull a car up.
This is not llio first lime I have milked
biicli cruel conduct on the pint of one or
two of these Farnain street driver * , and I
am going lo do my part low unl jiutling a

one to Iho city. The closing of tlio nail
works , thus throw ing out of employment
a large number of .skilled workmen , has
already been lelt in many quarters , and
the rcoiieniiig of lliu indiistr.v is awaited
with anxiety. Mr. ( ! . T. Walker , the

of forming a stock company to buj

Mr. Walker stijs that Meel nail- , can .be

much less Hum for a I.eg of iion nails ;

from iron to steel in many articles ol
common use has created an immense de
mand for Mod nailh , tlio old Iron-out nail
being now almost entirely iieg cctcd

is now a dillerence in the market value
of fifty cents per Keg in favor of-steil
