Wednesday night , Captain O'Brien , of
the regular force , notiecd a young man
Lrying to dispose of a lady's gold watch.
The young fellow went to Goldstein's
| iawn hot > , and then visited the other
Goldstein's , where O'Hrlon dropp.nl in
on him as he was trying to borrow $15 on
the watch. The fellow claimed that the
watch belonged to his wife , and at a wink
from O'Hrion , Goldstein told him that ho
would not lend the money to him on the
watch , as it belonged to ins wife and ho
had no husinoss to pawn it. The fellow
asked if he would lend the money to his
wife , if she came in , and on being ans
wered in the allirnmtivo ho aid his wife
would come in the morning with the
watch to get the loan. O'Brien got into
conversation with the young man , who
did not know that ho was an olltcor , and
they had < | tiite a chat together. O'Brien
learned that his name was A. Woodford ,
and that ho had a partner. He went so
far as to walls about town with the ollicer
and point out his partner , who proved to
be Jimmy Sullivan , a still younger fel
low , aged about nineteen , wno lias al
ready gained the reputation of being a
crook. O'Brien took them both _ in
charge and locked them tip at the police
station. On being searched there was
found on them several clues to
throw further light upon them.
-In ono of their pockets yas
found a clipping from the BKK. giving
an account of the burglary of the store
No. 805 Sixteenth street , occupied by
Mrs. Davis , who was formerly in the
jewelry business hero. That burglary
occurred Tuesday night , and the pros-
eneo of this clipping in the pocket of ono
of the fellows indicated that possibly they
had fcomc special interest in the event.
An express receipt was al o found show
ing that , a bov hail been shipped to Ot-
tutmva.and it appeared that this must con
tain the stolen goods. The fellows evi-
tently intended to leave here for that
place , secure the goods there and make
way with them. Woodford was ques
tioned closely as was also Sullivan , and
from them was leirncd enough to satisfy
tho. ollieors that they had committed the
Davis burglary. In fact they finally ad
mitted this practically. Olhcer O'Hrion
went over to Omaha on the late dummy
train , and in company with Omaha
ollicers , wont to Woodford's lionsowliich
is only three doors from Davis' store , and
made a search. Woodford has a wife
ami child. Mrs. Woodford denied all
knowledge of the matter , but a quantity
ofsilver table spoons were found , ans
wering the description of these .stolon.
Something was thrown out of the win-
down while the ollicers were making the
search. It proved to bo a lady's bustle ,
and inside of this was found snugly
.packed away si quantity of jewelry , a
\i pair of bracelets , eight rings , two pins ,
oar rings , a gold chain , etc. The c wore

liur. It wis further learned that Wooil-
ford until lately had a restaurant , no.\t
door to Mrs. Davis' store , and was
familiar with thu de-tails of the situation.
lie and his wife wore frequently in the
store KettiiiK change or buying articles.
Lately lie sold out Ins restaurant. Wood-
ford i'n admitting that ho was coueeined
in Hie burglary pleaded as an excuse that
he had to provide for his family in some
way , and being out ot money and with
no employment he was strongly tempted
and fell. Sullivan has been a waiter in
hoHs , and says his homo is in Dunlap ,
although he lias worked in Umaha for
some time past. The two young mei
agreed to go across the river without
putting the ollicers to the trouble of
getting a requisition. A telegram was
sent to Ottumwii to have the mysterious
package sent back here , and it will be
lound to contain the larger part of the
stolen goods without doubt. The amount
stolen was between three mid four
hundred dollars. It spoms that there is
no chance for tlie two young fellows to
escape a sentence in the penitentiary-

iii Court.
Iii the district court the jury yesterday
morning returned a verdict of guilty
against Harry Walbridgo , the embez
zling salesman of L , Kirsctit & Co. There
was not a single claim set up in his de
fense , evccpt that the ca&o should have
been tried in Harrison county instead of
in this county. The jury concluded that ,
it would do its duly in the attempt to
hcnd the fast young man to a place ot ! <
repentance , and not let the technicality
avail him ,
Yesterday largo norlion of the time
was tnkiiii ui > in the discussion of a mo
tion to dismiss various cases brought
against druggists and others holding
county permits to sell intoxicating
liquors. The arguments were numerous ,
and to those suinciuntly versed in the law
to appreciate the line points drawn , it
was intensely interesting. Judge Cole
was present and resisted the motion , hia
argument being a masterly one , pleasing
in rhetoric , and at times verging into the
eloquent , while sarcasm was used cut'
ting like a keen bhtdo , Those supportIng -
Ing the motions In the several cases wore
iloliii N. lialdwin , who made the main
argument , \V S. Williams , Frank Shi.in ,
Colonel Kentlcy ami V , Uenjamin.
After the motion was argued and sub
mitted , the case of Major Williams wui
called , Ho is charged with killing a fel I-
low confidence man named James II.
Hughes , in the old Union Avenue hotel.
There was much dim'cultv In securing n
jury , and a special vcuiro was made for
tifteen additional ones. Col. Daily mid
J. J. l-'rainey are the defendant's attor
neys. Three others were indicted jointly
with Williams , but the only ono who did
- not skip was ( Scorgo ( icrspacher , who i5y
here ready for trial , It was decided b > y
the wish of tno prosecution , to try them t
separately , and Williams tirst. This case
will take some time in the trial , and while
there U little or no doubt but that Will
lama killed Hughes , there seems to be
much diflloulty in securing the attend
- atico of witnesses , and.to get those wht
arc hero to tell what they really know |
The prediction U quite common , that al
though there is so little doubt as to Will
. lamb guilt , yet that ho will , probably gc
1 clear on account of thu lack of cvidenci
to bo secured.
A Novel I3nf ! t ( lniticnt
Last evening the Methodists gave ah
enjoyable entertainment. This church
society is winning a reputation for the
novelty and success of their entertain
ments , and that of last evening certainly
added to it. The programme opened
with music by the church orchestra , con
sisting of L. W. Tulloys , E. S. Harnclt ,
Paul Tullcys and Hugh Smith. Several
war songs wore also given as pleasing
muMcal features. Ono of the choice
numbers of the evening was the reading
by.Prof. . . McKnlght. Despite the fact that
he Is in shattered health , and ( hat his
voice is but a shadow of what it was , he
shows the marks of a true artist , and is
wonderful in some respects.S. . U.
Stockman also cave a reading , which was
excellently rendered ,
The really novel part of the entertain
ment was the supper provided by the
men. The tables were well spread , ami
the cookery was such as to arouse no
suspicion but that feminine lingers had
been at work preparing the refreshments.
Those in charge of the cuisine wore E.
S. linrnstt , Henry Wale and 11. P. Niles ,
Mr. D ; lo being the chief of tlio trio. Thu
men served the tables , and in fact were
the ones who entertained last ovenlng in
every respect , instead of the ladies.
