Two Sharpers Work an Oltl Game and
Are Arrcatccl.
B. E. Douglas and Bill Murray arc the
names of two individuals registered at
the police station last night charged with
horse stealing. Both men are well known
in certain circles about town as dishonest
horse trailers who take every opportu
nity to entrap the unwary farmer into tv
disastrous deal in liorsollcsh. They at
tempted ono of their tricks yesterday af
ternoon , which resulted in their arrest as
stated.
About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Douglas nnd Murray met Adolph C ,
Hubuard , a farmer.on the street , driving
a fine looking brown mare. They ac
costed him and oll'orcd to trade him a
pair of mules for the animal. Ilubbard
was willing lo trade if the mules were
satisfactory , and agreed to look at them.
The men thereupon conducted him to a
stable owned by Douglas , near the hay
market , between Howard and Jackson
street , whore a pair of mules wore shown
him. After examining them , Hubbard
said ho would trade if the mules
would driyo all right. The animals
wore accordingly harnessed to a wagon ,
but when Ilubbard attempted to drive
thorn they would not move. lie then re
fused to trade , but Douglas and Murray
said the trade was already made , ami
.they proposed to keep the mare. Ilub
bard ordered them lo give him llio ani
mal , but as they refused ho wont before
Justice Anderson and swore out a re
plevin for its recovery. The papers wcro
placed in the hands of Constable Houck
for service , but when lie reached the
barn the mare was gone. Ho ascertained
that the animal had ocen driven to a sta
ble kept by a man named Flannagan , near
Httscall's park. Ho accordingly visited tlio
stable , but Flannagan rofusoff to turn the
horse over to the oilicer. Houek reported
the matter to Judge Anderson , and war-
ranis wore immediately issued for the ar
rest of Douglas and Murray. Policeman
Haze was given the papers , nml after a
short search found both men. They wcro
locked up to answer to the charge this
morning. _
A YOUNG IIOUSK THIEF.
Ouo of tlio Brown Count } ' Gani ; Cap
tured in MIsHourl.
Sheriff Murphy , of Ainsworth , Brown
county , this state , arrived In Omaha last
evening having in his custody a 10-year-
old hut named Ed Emory , charged with
horse stealing. Although so young
Emory has been connected for some
time with a gang of horse thiovoa who
have been making extensive depredations
in Brown county , having stolen and dis
posed of a number of very valuableani
mals. The gang was composed of George
Spracklin and George and Ed Emory ,
nnd for n long time Ihov dolled doleclion
and arrest. The first two named wore ,
hovvnvor , captured on Nebraska soil and
nro now in confinement. Ed Emory tils-
n'ppcnrud , but was traced by Sheriff Mur

Last night Joe Emmet gave the Omaha
ptibliu for the second time within eighteen
months his "Fritz In Ireland. " The
piece Is familiar now lo all piny-goers ,
for on each occasion a crowded house
witnessed its presentation. The com
pany this limo was better selected than
before and ( ho scenery was up to the
standard ot picttiivsquo beauty , which
Mr. Eir.iiict established for himself long
ago. As everybody says that his voice is
not as good us it was some years back it
must bo agreed then that ho did not sing
bis "Lullaby , " "Shamrock , " and those
other musical gems ot his fancy ns well
us formerly , but even so it seenicd that
thu songs had lost none of their sweetness -
ness , palhoj and humor. They pleased
tlto audience evidently , for they wore
greeted in turn with eiicores , whicli.whcii

Emmet appears in prime health and

MUU1MIY VS. OMAHA.
Another Substantial Ijcfal Victor } *
Scored liy tlio City.
For the past two or thrco days the trial
of llio ease of Murphy vs llio City of Oma
ha has been in progress bnforo Judge
Wakeley. Yesterday morning the case was
given to the jury and , after a few mo
ments' deliberation , a verdict was re
turned for the city. The principles in
volved wore of more than ordinary inter
est and importance.
The claim of the plaintifl , Contractor
Murphy , was for $7,390.80 and interest
from iy83 , and was based on alleged ex
tra grading and extra overhaul , on con
tracts in 1833. During that year the
grading amounted to about 1507,801
yards , done under twenty different con
tracts. The same question about tlio
amount to bo allowed for
overhaul and extra grading would prob
ably have been raised : by all the oth
er contractors who wore awaiting the is
sue of this caso. And had n settlement
been effected with them on the same ba
sis as demanded by Murphy , the extra
cost to the eity would have boon , for the
year 1883 alone , at least $25,000.
The plaintiff claimed that the allowance
for overhaul , or extra grading , was not
allowed in the estimate of the city engin
eer , nml consequently he had received
no remuneration for the extra work done
by him.
It was contended on the part of the
city that the rule adopted by the city en-
cinoer tor estimating the amount of over
haul and extra grading was correct ,
which was to require all earth to be hauled
at least 500 feet before the contractor
would bo entitled to extra pay for over
haul. It was further claimed that oven
if such rule wore not correct , that the
parties by the terms of the contract had
agreed that the engineer should deter
mine the amount of work to bo paid for ,
and his estimates should bo final. That ,
furthermore , those estimates could not bo
impeached unless wiljful dishonesty on
tlio part of the city engineer in compiling
them could bo proven. This view of the
case was sustained by Judge Wakeley ,
and the verdict of the jury , as already
intimated , was in accordance therewith.
And thus another substantial victory for
the city has been scored.
INDIANS A'
Something : About the Redskins on the
Sauteo Reservation.
Liout. Chase , of the army headquarters ,
returned yesterday from the Santco Sioux
agency , 40 miles above Ynnkton , o.n the
Missouri river. Ho went there a day erse
so since to witness tlio issuance of agri
cultural implements to the Indians on
that reservation.
"Thoro nro now about 1,000 Sioux , "
said Liout. Chase to a reporter , "with
about 200 heads of families. Each one of
thcso men own from three to fifty acres
of good land , whicli they till carefully
every year. This time wo gave them
about fifty now plows , together with a
largo number 01 hoes and agricultural
implements "
"Arc the Indians learning to farm with
success ? "
"Yes , they are gradually catch
ing on to the ways of their white
brothers. Some of tliinn are very suc
cessful farmers indeed , raising wheat
and corn , besides garden vegetables in
great quantity. The Indians have only
been engaged in agriculture three or
four years , and of course are compara
tively green at the business. Some of
thorn are very industrious , while others
nro not very willing to work. Mtftvy of
tliqm have herds of stock , teams , spring
wagons , etc. , and are really quite well
oft' .
"In other ways the Sioux on that reser
vation are making nrogress. Their millers -
lors , engineers and mechanics of all sorts
are natives who have learned their trades
from the white men originally appointed
by the government. In the way of edu
cation , too , the Indians of this agency
are advancing. The best proof
favor of tlfoir general progress is that
they have become self-supporting. The
government has ceased issuing food ra
tions to them and only gives them arti
cles of clothing and agricultural imple
ments. "
"What do j'ou think about the plan of
allowing tlio Indians to hold lauds In
title , with rights to dispose of or lease
them at pleasure ? "
"At llio Flandrean agency , a few miles
from tlio Sanleo reservation , this scheme
has been tried , and so far as I have ob
served docs not work very well. Nearly
all of the Indians have sold or traded
their property to the white sottlorsand ,
are now again wholly dependent upon
the government , "
A liaby in the Market.
Mary Slavonek , n handsome young

she had been betrayed by ono whoso

claims lo bo living at present with her

means of both are limited and they can
Bcnreuly afford each other fair sustenance ,
She now wants some ono to take charge
of the child so that she can return to
work. The commissioners took the mat
ter under short advisement and told the
girl to call again. Application had boon

"Jnmos Vorngo , stnnd up , " was the
peremptory innminlo of Juilgo Stenborg
to one of the prisoners on the culprits'
bench yesterday morning. At the order an
old , dnrk-oycd , swarlliy-coinploxloncd
man , with long , gray luiir , swung him
self to the front. The old fellow had
been arrested for disturbing the peace ,
together with another Italian Loin An-
tonla. Inquiry into his case developed
fact.5) ) of more than ordinary interest.
About ten days ago the wife of the old
Italian , Vorago , died in a miserable hovel
in the part of town on South Thirteenth
struct , known as the Dago's acre. Her
husband , upon looking over her clothing ,
found some money stitched away in some
of the seams. A further close examination
of her clothing revealed the fact that in
every dress there was a sum of money ,
cither in coin or bills , varying in amount
from $10 to $30 or SCO. Altogether , the sav
ings of tlio old lady were about ? 500 , which
amount she had saved by hard toil and
the most niggardly economy. Vorngo
determined to give the body a decent
burial and accordingly ordered a hand
some collin from a leading mulertukmg
linn , with the understanding that a mass
was to be celebrated over the body of the
( lend in one of the Catholic churches.
However , when all arrangements had
been made the priest discovered that
Vorago had novcr been married to the
woman , although ho had lived with her
for nearly thirty years both in America
and Italy. He therefore peremptorily re
fused to cclobrato mass for the dead
woman. Vorago was enraged beyond
measure and threatened to olid the whole
alVair by having the body , collin and all
dumped into the river. Ho would un
doubtedly have done so "but for the inter
ference of friends , who secured a quiut
interment of the remains in one of the
cemeteries. Since that time , Vorago has
been on ono protracted spree , until ho
has spent nearly every cent of his witc's '
money. lie had become involved in a seri
ous row and yesterday both ho and his
comrade , hola Antonio were lined sjj and
costs , paying which , they were released.
"My name Clio-Wah , " murmured a
Chinaman who was called for trial.
"Mo good jus' like Melican man , no fight ,
me go to Sunday school. " The charge of
disturbing the peace had ucen
preferred against Clio-AVah , by
Ollicor Brady , who arrested him
late the night before. According to the
Celestial's story , he was arrested while
trying to go into his own laundry on
Fourteenth and Harney streets , from
which ho had been looked out by a care
less fellow washee man. Ho lirmly wo-
tested his innocence , and Judge Stouberg
decided to hold him until Omccr Brady
could bo summoned.

A Notorious Imml Creole Arrcstcil in
Clioyemic.
Marshal Carr , of Wyoming , arrived in
Omaha yesterday with Dick Seymour ,
a notorious land fraud crook , arrested a
day or so since in Cheyenne. Ho is
familiarly known as "Bloody Dick , "
which name ho assures his friends , ho
got while "mo and Bill Cody were light
ing Indians daown thar on the 'Publican. "
In speaking of the case the Cheyenne
Leader says :
" Dick's" maiden
"Bloody name was
Richard Seymour , and about a year and
a half aero no was approached oy some
very bad men indeed , and while tempo
rarily residing in Colorado ho was in
terviewed by some Omaha land sharps
who said they wanted "Bloody's" blunted
bloody services in a land speculation
down in Nebraska. "Bloody" didn't
want to bo discourteous to "tho boys ,
you know , " and so he jaunted oft' with
them down to tlio claim regions of the
grasshopper state , where he plot-
toil and conspired , cheated and
swindled , stole and re-stole , falsified and
stultilied , and committed perjury with
ho boys as long as they had any use for
him , after which they gave him a $5 bill
and fired him out. "Bloody1 ' didn't like
that very well , and came out west to
grow up with tlio country , or a part of it
at least , and after sojourning in llio foot

LOST DOCUMENTS.
Supposed Theft of the Sentence Pa
pers ol'a Military Convict.
Colonel Burnham , judge advocate of
the department of the Platte , is now at
Fort Niobrara , investigating what ap
pears to bo a remarkable case of theft.
Some time the early part of this year
Private Clark , of Fort Niobrarn , was ar
rested , court-martialed and sentenced for
stabbing a fellow soldier. The court
martial papers , together with tlio record
of sentence , etc. , wore duly prepared
and forwarded to Omaha for approval.
They hayo never turned up , and careful
examination has led to the belief tlr.it
they wore stolen by a friend of Private
Clark , m order to prevent the execution
of tin ) court martial sentence , There is
absolutely no record of the trial or the
sentence , so that nothing whatever can
bo done with the prisoner unless ho bo
tried again by anew court martial board.
The result of Col. Burnham's investi
gations is not yet known here , but it is
believed that all evidence indicates
that the theft , if such it was , was com
mitted shortly after the papers were
posted at the fort.
With ivgard to the holding of a now
court-martial , Gen. Hrcck said yesterday
there was some doubt as to whether such
a procedure would bo legal , in case the
original papers can not bo found. Tlio
question is a delicate one. and will proba
bly bo referred to the Washington
authorities.

and this feature of Oniului'Bocial ' life has ,

perennial ono. Ono tiling very noticeable
to the most casual observer was that the

TJIi : IIYMENOMKTEU ,
The instrument is ready for its weekly
task of showing up the aspirants for mat
rimonial honors , and the hands arc slowly
revolving from quarter to quarter.
Two names are outlined on the dial ,
and at both of them the hands are point
ing , Ono is that of a young lady resid
ing on Saunders street near a church ;
the other that of a young man working
in the local freight olllco at the Council
Bluffs transfer. The particulars of this
affair are but dimly outlined on llio dial ,
and arc evidently not yet ready for pub
lication.
Again the hands piovc around. After
considerable fluttering and nervous
quivering they pause in rest before the
name of a young lady who is described
ns n very prctt j and charming brunette
and a gentleman in the furniture busi
ness not far from Fifteenth and Douglas
streets. The odor of the whlto cake and
orange blossoms is already perceptible in
this neighborhood , and it is whispered by
those who know that the ceremony is
soon tooc-Korr.
Glancing at the face of the wonderful
machine again the observer notices that
the hands have once more shifted their
position. This time they are delicately
balanced before two names ono belong
ing to tlio cashier inn banking institution
near the postofllco , the other to a lady
teacher in the Cass street school. All the
preliminaries have been satisfactory ar
ranged , it is said , and the wedding cards
may bo expected at any time In the near
future.
The magnetic- influence of Cupid's
presence has caused the hands to change
their position again. They toll now of
the tender feeling entertained by a young
and wealthy gentleman resident near
Eighteenth and farnam streets for the
sister of a prominent lawyer in the Paxton -
ton building. This case , it is apparent
from llio agitated condition of the ma
chine , is rapidly ncaring the climax.
Further developments will bo noted.

Hotel schemes appear to bo as thick
now as railroad schemes were during llio
early part of the winter. The latest ono
is brought out by Mr. Peter Gees , who
sold out his property on Farnam street to
Mr. Paxton , tlio first of the week. He is
having plans drawn up for a three-story
brick hotel to bo erected during tlio
coming summer , on the McGovorn prop
erty , southeast corner of Fifteenth and
Jackson streets. The dimensions of tlio
building will bo 90x72 , with a large base
ment. Tito structure will bo thoroughly
equipped with all modern conveniences ,
and will altogether bo a thoroughly
creditable one. In addition to
llio main building there will bo
be a large barn 13 xi)3 ; ) , for the accom
modation of llio farmers who may be
pleased to stop at that hostelry.
Mr. Pa\ton's scheme for putting up n.
new hotel is nuietly developing. Men-
delsshon & Fisher are drawing up plans

cent as to tlio details of the building. It
is understood that Mr. Paxlon has been

After Her Ilccrcant Tjovcr.
A handsome , blonde young woman residing
siding at Fremont appeared before Jus
tice Anderson yesterday and asked that
she be given a warrant for tlio arrest of
certain hotel clerk at Grand Island on
tlio charge of bastardy. The girl , who
was accompanied by n friend
stated that the clerk had effected her
ruin at Fremont under promise of marri
age and had then deserted her. Hearing
that ho had come to Omaha
she followed him hither , but as
soon as he learned that she was in
town he left the city , going to Grand
Island and entering a hotel there. Judge
Anderson said lie was willing to issue the
warrant , but it would bo necessary for
the complainant to advance $20 to the
ollicor for serving the papers.
This tlio young woman was unable
to do so , and , by advice , called upon the
county commissioners for aid. There
she was informed that her case was en
tirely out of their jurisdiction and .she
was advised to return to Fremont to com
mence her action. She accordingly left
last evening to tcturn to her homo ana
prosecute her recreant lover.
