THE OMAHA DAILY BJBE MAY 24 , 1886. SOME COUNTER AFFIDAVITS "Which Have Boon riled By Mr. Foss , to Wipe Ont Reflections Upon His Moral Character , A LOYAL L. SMITH ROMANCE. A Woman In the COHO ns Unu-il She In ft Meantjl'roin ncnifKntlng Host on Matters Jlelnn Ar- mil coil RO Smith Can Marry Her. IntoM TIIH IIKK'S I.INOOLS ntMBAW.1 Late Saturday evening Mr. Fayutto I. Foss , of Crete , the attorney for the defendant fondant in the somewhat sensational di vorce ca.Mi of Thomas v.4 Laura Powers , filed a package cf sixty-eight depositions with the clerk of the supreme court , nil bearing an the ride to Denver last Octo ber which , thanks to the energetic repor ters , has become almost as famous In this state ns tlio celebrated horseback journey once made by Phil Sheridan. On n hearing of the case on a habeas corpus proceedings for the custody of the boy Sammy , the attorney for the pluintiu" , it will bo remembered , charged in court 'that Mrs. Powers ami her lawyer had bccnn little careless in their conduct dur ing the visit to Denver , where they went to secure certain depositions. Mr. Foss was on Ids feet In an instant , repelling the accusation , and demanding , us Mrs' . ' ' 'Powers hud three lawyers , himself , Gov ernor Dawes and Mr. Slovens , that as a matter of justice thu charge should bo made' moro siiecifio. In reply to this the piaintill' filed allldavlts from parties in Denver in timating that Foss was the man. and Unit while at the Windsor hotel he had been a little too free in the use of Mrs. Pow ers' room , and on leaving had sneaked out by a side entrance , lirst paying cer tain employes ot the house to keep quiet about what they had seen. The allidavits now filed by Mr. Foss are ill answer to these charges , and seem to dispose of them eH'eetually. Mrs. Powers testifies tlmt she went to Denver with Mr. 1-oss at the time stated , on her husband's notice that ho wanted to get a. deposition from Dr. Sherlock. Mr. Pow ers was on the train , and his conduct was so violent that slip was afraid ho would do her bivdily injury , and at her suggestion Mr. Foss occupied the berth over hor's. At the hotel Powers' dogged her so that she had her room changed seas as to bo near to Mr. and Mrs. Gore , and when leaving the house , on ( hiding that Powers was watching for her at the cle- valor , she went out by the side entrance. Mr. Foss , she says , was nevu1 in her room , except when Mr. and Mrs. Gore were there , and left with them on the night in question. Mr. Foss swears that on the way out to Denver the conductor of the sleeping car canio to him and said Powers had told all about his domcHtic trouble , and insisted on buying the berth over Mrs. Powers , which the conductor would not permit. Powers , in Ills conversation with the con ductor , said the case had already cost him ! f4OCO , and that ho had ? 20OOJ more to spend. Ho seemed to bo particularly incensed at Foss , and made threats then that ho would shoot his d d head off. The conductos , thinking there might bo trouble during the night , warned the porter to keep a close watch on Powers and give an alarm nt the lirst demonstra tion. At the hotel Foss says he wasnover in Mrs. Powers' room except when other parties were Ihgrc. Ho corroborates Mrs. Powers as to the reasons for leaving the hotel by tlio side door , and denies that ho paid the haekman who drove them to the depot more than $ 1 , or told him to keep his mouth shut. The conductor and porter of the sleep ing car tell the samn slory about Powers' conduct on the way out to Denver , aud agree that ho appeared to be a particularly bad sort of a mnn , ami greatly enraged at some thing. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Gore , of this city , and Mi. and Mrs. J. M. McDonald , of Now York , who were fellow passongc'rs on the train , and guests at the same hotel with Mr. Foss and Mrs. Powers , also cor roborate the statements made by them , both as to the conduct of the plaintiff on tlio train , and the behavior of Foss anil Mrs.-Powers towards each other at the hotel. . " Among the affidavits urTiishcd by Powers wns ono frpu > Henry Bryant , a lip.ck'man , who swore that when ho drove Mrs. Powers and Foss to the depot at Denver , the latter paid him $5 and told him to keep his mouth shut. Ikyant is now out in a counter aflidavit in which ho swears that the lirst document was gar bled , and altered , and that ho never in tended to swear to tlio facts stated in it. l\fss , ho savs , only paid him $1 for the trip , and did not say anything about keep' ing his mouth shut. Thomas Powers , the boll-boy , who tos tilled for Powers , that Foss had paid him well for piloting them down the sidi stairs and other services , also goes back or the whole thing and says lie was imposec : on by tlio notary public who drew it Powers paid him , ho says , far making the affidavit , but in justice to both Fost and Mrs. Powers ho furnishes the soconi free. free.John P. Boyle and Joseph Clemen employes at the house , and u large mini bor of guests , testify in a general way U the gnod behavior of the defendant am her attorney , and the entire absence o anything like suspicious circumstances WHY SMITH MAUK HIS CONFESSION. The confession of Loyal L. Smith ns t < his dealings with Haiman Lowy bring : to mind a fresh romance connected will the affair that has , perhaps , as much tide do with Inducing the gentleman whosi departure Omahans mourn , to tell tin inside history of that Saturday night deal as Lowy's failure to pay the $10,000 note Mr. Rhodes , of Chicago , .the liuancia agent of A. S. Gage & Co. , it was , who a the close of the memorable trial in th ! city In March last , gave the thread of th ! romance to the KRK man , and voiiohci for the facts. Smith , ho said , had , bufor coming to Omaha , boon intimate with i handsome woman in Boston , a falloi daughter ono of the best o the Puritan familias. For uwhll Eho was noted at the Hub ns one of th most beautiful and abandoned of th many women who lead prolligato live there , She in turn became infatuatei with the foxy Smith , and on Iii promis to mnrry her agreed to give up her ovi ways and reform , a move in which ho family assisted. Before the time set fo the marriage Smith made his fumou deal , and found it healthy to go to Can adn. Since then the relatives of his in tended bride , people of largo meant have been trying to arrange matters B that ho can coma back to the Unite States and go into business. The feole that was put out by , n linn of Canadia lawyers last fall , in n letter to GrolV t Montgomery , of Omaha , asking on wlm basis Smith's debts could bo comprc iniscd , was undoubtedly instigated b them , The creditors at that time wer Etill warm at the manner in which the were treated , and refused to negotiaU That they have taken u different tac now Is owing probably to the fact tin they bad to make u good showing on tli motion for a now trial , and so decided t play the big trump card. They had ai other big surprise iu store , and ono wide ivould nave made somn people wca about the knees , but the case was too in portant an one to take any chances 01 and the consulting attorneys' wisely ri solved to show down their whole ham When matters lure -put in iiropur shai Smith will bo allowed to visit the United States without molestation , and a mar riage in the far cast will moro than likely be one ot the lint events of his rolntro- duction to American society.

Arriving there , lie found the little town in an uproar over the olztiro of Mr. Gcorgo Kilpat- rick , of Beatrice , by riolous rallrond la borers , who were threatening to hang him unless he paid another man's debts. Kilpnlrick Brothers liavo a contract for building the B. & M. branch between Superior ami Nelson , which tlitsy have sub-lotto other contractors in thu usual manner. Going down lo Superior Friday , Mr. Kilpatrick found thu men very much excited and angry because the sub-contractor on that section hail not paid ilium for hist month'H work.

Commis sioner Atkins docs not give to the press my detail letter of reason of April 27 , and as the same may provu Intnresting to people who believe a "pubho oll'iei ? is a public trust , " etc. , 1 inclose it for publi cation. I presume that it stirred the Indian ollicc up. A short tiiuo ago they sent Captaih Leo , U. S. A. , in charge of Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency , Indian territory , anew clerk. Leu wired General Sheridan at oucu that if they insisted on placing the clerk on duty ho would retpiest to bu re lieved and sent hack to Ills rugimunt. The Indian ollico backed down. Why did they not insist ? I see your special of the 18th stated that Atkins s-ays Clerk Drown was dis charged for the reason that ho applied tor a license to trade. That statement is false. Cleric Drown has never applied for license to trade , directly or indirectly , and tlie statement is a very lame ultompt at justlllcation for the arbitrary act of the Indian ollice in causing my suspen sion. In the same special tho3' state that Sen ator Dawes wired mo advice to accept thu clerk. I have received no advice what ever from Senator Dawus. Now for consistency. Clerk Brown is still clerk and on duty. Ho was urged to remain by Inspector Bannister and Captain Dell on th grounds of his un questioned ability atul record. Mr Clark , the new clerk , has not shown up. 1 was hilly prepared for thu suspension , and expected it. I can stand the racket.

My resignation was made out under date of March 37 , but I was dissuaded from sending it In under a promise from onu of the inspectors that the Indian olllae had dropped the matter of appointing clerks , and that my clerk should not bu interfered with. 1 am glad that I did not solid in my resignation , as I consider it moro honor able to bo suspended on such an issue.

DANIEL DKO\VN. PINK RIDGE AGEKCV , Dak. , April 27 , 1830. Ron. J. D. C. Atkins , Conmiis- Kioner of Indian Affairs Sir : I have the honor to address the following in connec tion with your letter of the 21st inst. and my telegram of the 27t > i inst. in relation to the appointment of a clerk by your oflico for this agency. The present incumbent , Mr. Drown , lias been in this agency's employ for live years in different grades , and is experi enced in every branch of the service , and has in addition what so many clerks lack , excellent executive and administrative ability , much more in fact than many of your Indian asonts , and could to-day dis count many of them in handling an agency , anil in addition has always been a consistent democrat , and not of the stripe of many who held positions under the old administration nnd have at a late day , ns a quastion of bread and butter , discovered the error of their ways and turned democrat. If to displacu such a man without charges is in the line of the much vaunted civil service reform , then suoh reform is truly a farcu and I would protest against being a party to it. Ift as I understand it , the avowed in tention of your office In appointing agents' clerks is to have them act as spies over the agents , then I must con gratulate the Indian service on its agents and clerks in thn future , for an agent that will suffer such an imposition will bo either a man so incapable of making a living as to fear to trust himself in or dinary business on his own account or ono who is making enough money irreg ularly out of his position to compensate for Ins loss of self-respect , and comment on a clerk who would accept such a posi tion is entirely unnecessary. I would invite your attention to the fact that none of the agents , superiors , commissioner or sec- rotary.aro bondedneither are the agents1 subordinates , clerk appointed by you , etc. etc.Tho agent nine is bonded forthnfaith- ful performance of his duty , nnd iho proper care , ihsuo of the property , and disbursement of the funds tlmtcomu into his hands by virtue of his position , and under no circumstances can it bo other wise than unbusinesslike and nnolllclal for your ollico to attempt to appoint the clerk foi that agent anil force thu agent to turn thu euro of thu property and funds for which he is responsible over to an unbonded clerk , a stranger to the agent. Under no oflico or department of the government is such a policy known of , and justice to my bondsmen and self will not permit it in my case ; my bondsmen vouch for mo , and not for an unknown nnd irresponsible clerk of some ono else' ! ; selection , Regretting that after twenty years continuous service under the gov ernment it became necessary for me to act in a seemingly insubordinate man ner and requesting the department tc decide what action they will take iu the matter.

William Slater , of Emerson , Mills county , was painfully Injured by a stall- on a few days ago. The horse bit him n the left arm , severing ono of the ten- Ions and badly lacerating the arm. Pick- ng him from the ground , where ho was n imminent danger of boinir stamped to death , the furious animal threw him over hedge fence. Charley Collins , the erratic and genial ex-editor of the Sioux City Times , is now jrowtjingintlio orange fields of southern California _ und making money. Ho ivrites to friends that , ho has a cozy cot- : ago near San Diego , overlooking the jay , shipping , ocean and mountains , with a summer villa uino-miles away. ' 'We have to drive but a few stops from our door to get into the grandest stretch of beach and surf bathing in the world- ami that is saying much eight miles of sandy bench so hard along the edge of the surf that the horses' hoofs scarcely make an indenture and where , when the ti'.le is out. 100 teams can drive abreast. Evcryttiing I now touch seems to turn to gold , and realizes far ahead of my most sanguine expectations. I have got into a very easy , independent , conservative mood a spirit and a fooling which I never oven comprehended , much less practiced before. Our lots which wo purchased have all trebled and moro in vfilue. I have everything I want except my old time strength and vigor. Dut I am changed , wonderfully changed ; but I am perfectly contented. I woijtSSr some times whether this is all p. dream or not ; the most perfect climate in the world ; ovorylody about mo happy and hopeful , enjoying good health ; an opportunity to make money without an ellortja kind of continuous picnic. " Ho expects to make $10,030 out of land this .summer. None of his ucqtmintaucof will envy Charley's good fortune. Ho wrestled with adver sity for thirty years and never got out of poverty's clutch till he crossed the Sierras. Dakota. Over SWO city lots at Rapid City changed hands last we'ek. Destructive timber iiros are raging on both sides ot Rapid creek. About 000 Hollanders will locate in Charles Mix and Douglas counties this year.

Mr. Payne , who was the bugler boy for General Sully in the Indian campaign of 1803 , lately visited a battle ground near Crandon , in Spink county. Ho says 200 Indians wore killed there and all burled In oiid grave by the soldiers. The Immigration Duliotin says that Dakota Is growing faster this spring than for any year slnco 188 ! ) . The immigra tion ot 1880 is fully up to the high stand ard 'of citizenship shown by the census of last year , and the increase in population Is in every way n notable gain for the territory , Henry A , Mott , Jr. , Ph. D. , F.C.S.Prof. Chomlstry , New Vork Medical college nnd late Government Chemist , says : "My Investigation of Allcoek's Porous Plaster shows it to contain valuable and essential ingredients not present in any other plus , tcr. Those ingredients are so perfectlv proportioned that the Alicock's Porous Plaster will not cause bllbtors or execsaive irritation ; and I lind it superior to und moro elllcient than any other plas ter. " Imitations nnd counterfoils of this valuable remedy are being offered for sale ; so when purchasing Alicock's Porous ous Plasters do not fall to see that the registered trade-mark stamp is onjeaclt plaster , as none are genuine without it.
