Mr Keen goes east with an experience
which he never appreciated before ,
namely , a contest with a prairh Jiiro which
nearly cost him his life. The lire star
ted on Saturday lubt , north of the North
Plutto and in thu vicinity of thu town of
that name in this state. It was occa-s
Joued by the carelessness of some cmi
crants. The wind blew at the rate of
Foycnty miles per hour and the rapidity
of the flumes was wonderful to contem
plate. Tlicv were burning in thh direc
tion of John Worthley , one of Cody s
friends , and this promoted Cody , to

Miller and Dr. Dickinson , all of North

Into tlio threatened district and proceeded
to build a "back llro'1 to prevent the far
ther advancement of the llamcs. This
they did , but Keen , who wanted
more experience with prairie fires went
with one of his friends still farther
toward the advancing fury. When it was
too laic , they saw that the llamcs were
upon them , and their only mc.ins of
escape was to jump into a slough , in
which they stood in water up to their
chins , while the llaming scourge passed
like a whirlwind over their heads. It was
a narrow ex-ape and Keen , Instead of
being roasted to death , is possessed of
a cold which will probably be attended

POLICE COt'RTIj.\AVYI3K8.
_
How Thli Cln of I'coplc Soptiro Him *
InciM null OlHnlu A livelihood.
Police stations as a rule , especially the
one in Omalm , would not at first sight
seem to be a very desirable situation lor
lawyers' olllces. However , city jails arc
often u ed for that purpose by attorneys
who make a .specialty of police court
practice. The methods adopted by law
yers of tins class shysters they are
termed by other members of the profes
sion who arc perhaps uncharitable arc
peculi ir. Nevertheless , they bring the
practitioners in an income which they
could obtain in no oilier way. In sonic
cases it is hard to say whether the pris
oner In the cell or the "shyster" trying to
obtain him for a client is the more culpa
ble. The police court lawyers haunt the
station like so many vultures , and a
prisoner with $100 In Ids poekot is fat
picking for them. There is no feeling of
modesty in regard to soliciting patronage
and even thu honor xvhich is supposed to
nrovall among thieves plays no part In
controlling their actions. Tliey watch
the record book and when a man Is ar
rested who has nioney , he is at once In
terviewed by the lawyer who is fortunate
enough to be present. The conversation
is usually about as tollows :
"Well , old man , " from the lawyer ,
"You seem to bo playing in hard luck.
What's the matter ? "
The prisoner relates the circumstances
under which he was arrested , and then
the lawyer asks : "How much money
have you got ? "
If the answer is satisfactory the
shyster's next move is to get as J irge a
ictaining fee as possible , $10 usually
being considered the proper amount. If
the prisoner has no money , a watch , a
ring , or a revolver answers the purpose
nearly as well. The lawyer , nine times
out of ten. can do nothing for his client ,
but in order to uppe.ir to be working
hard he obtains a continuance of the case.
When this is granted the "shukingdown"
process begins in earnest. The prisoner ,
of course , is behind the bars all the time ,
and unable to find out what his lawyer
is doing , and consequently is a victim to
Ins rapacity. Hills of expenses , bribes ,
etc. , arc ail figured in , and the criminal ,
if unsophisticated , believes that his at
torney is working hard for his interests.
As a matter ot fact thn lawyer is usually
to be found in the nearest saloon " .set
ting up1' the drinks and boasting to his
own particular gang about thu "rank
sucker he. has been working for stutV. "
Wlien the prisoner's supply of
money or valuables has been cx-
Jmuxtcd , then and not until then
is it possible for him to obtain a trial.
When brought before the judge he , for
the lirsi time , appreciates the tact that
the lawyer's asscition , "I can get you
out all right , if you'll give me a good
fce"js a hollow mockery. In fact the
man is usually in much worse circum
stances than if ho had obtained no lawyer
at all. Ho has had to remain in jail
during the time the attorney was spend
ing for whisky the money obtained from
him , and. moreover , his iontenco is not
mitigated in the least by the eilbrts ot his
counsellor. Very often the lawyer prac
tically becomes an pcccssory after the
fact , and prevents the ollicers of the law
from bringing oilier criminals to juslico
by warning tliem that their accomplice
has been arrested and they themselves
are under suspicion.
A few months ago n certain police court
lawyer , who is a perennial pro.sy in stale
conventions acted as go-between for a
thief who had stolen a gold watch and a
number of valuable pa'pers from a banker.
The thief gave him $75 for his services
and the ' , lawyer openly boasted of the
maunc'riii which he hud outwitted the of
ficers. Uhe samo' man "worked" the
"pals" of a noted crook who was arrested
in Omaha for all the monev they could
raise , threatening them with exposure if
thov did not disgorge.
Some time ago a certain absconding
ollicor from a far-away state was ar
rested and locked up in the county jail.
He had been regularly committed , and
there was no possible chance of securing
his release until the olliccr from his
native state arrived. However , the man
had $1-10 in his possession , which a cer
tain attorney thought would just lit a
niche in his pocketbook. It was a race
between a lawyer and a detective to sco
which would et the man's money. Ac
eordmgjy a visit was paid to the jail and
the prisoner was interviewed. After
a good deal of bloviating nonsense
upon his influence in Omaha and
his high standing at the bar , the
lawyer came down to business and of
fered to get tlio man released on a writ
of habeas corpus for the sum of $10o.
The prisoner , however , was too sharp to
bo taken in in that manner , but gave the
attorney $25 and promised him if 73 more
should his cllbrts prove successful. It is
needless to s.iv that the attorney's efforts
wore not successful , but ho obtained § 2.1.
which was probably all ho expected , and
was live times as much as ho deserved ,
Instances of this kind are not unusual.
Tlioy occur every day , as many a
prisoner in the county jail or in
the penitentiary can testily The meth
ods of these pseudo-lawyers arc despised
by their honorable associates in tlio pro
fession , but , as they don't have any fool
ish compunctions about doing a mic.ition-
able act , it causes them no uneasiness.

Of those who have favored the NEBRASKA CLOTHING- COMPANY
with tlieir patronage is that they have the utmost confidence in re
ceiving greatest value for their money. Our aim from the time we made
a place for ourselves among you has been not alone to insure the con
tinuance of each customer , but also to secure a vast circle of their as-
sociatesand that only can be done by giving more goods for less money
than any other dealer. To give you an illustration of how money can
be saved : When you buy theirmen's all wool cassimere business suit
for $6 , which would cost you at least $9 anywhere else , you save $3.
For the $3 left you can buy other useful articles. For instance :
2 scarlet all wool men's undershirts at 50c. - - - - $1.00
2 " " " drawers at 50c. - 1.00
2 fancy dress shirts with collars and cuffs at 35c - - - 70
2 pairs all wool men's heavy half hose at 15c - - - - .30
Extra goods saved on the suit - - - - - - - $3.00
During this week they make the following notable offerings : 125
men's chinchilla pea jackets , worth $6 , for $4 ; 150 nice chinchilla , pea
jackets and vests , $9 , for $6.90 ; 75 men's all wool Melton overcoats ,
worth $11 , for $7.50 ; 100 men's all worsted dress overcoats in black
and brown , worth $12 , for $7.75 ; 130 dozen white unlaundried shirts
30c each , worth double the money. And all goods marked in plain
figures at strictly one price at
